IsOnline = InternetGetConnectedState(LFlags, 0&)
In the above line, LFlags returns some values, what does it mean.

Note: I am connected to Internet through LAN

Google is a wonderful thing. Check out InternetGetConnectedState Function on MSDN[^].
The LFlags result you are looking for is 2.

Hi eveyone,
I,m working on a program where I want to save numbers to a file and then be able to later have my program be able to tell me which numbers occur most often with in this file. I have managed to write to a text file and i even figured out how to read how many lines the file has. I,m stuck on retreiving the data. I,m using vsual basic 2008 by the way. Would it be better to use a database?? Thanks for any help you all can be.

Sincerely,

Depends on the volume of data and how much you want to manipulate it.

freehand draw problem

O.G.I.10-Dec-09 10:19

10-Dec-09 10:19

Hi,
I'm currently having a big problem with freehand drawing.
I want to do the following thing: I want to draw 2 freehand lines both with different colors and I need the final line to be on the top of the other lines created before. To store the lines I use 2 GraphicsPath objects, one GraphicsPath per color.
I tried to solve this problem by using two arrays like this:
Public MousePath0() As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
Public MousePath1() As System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
My idea was to make a system which will remember the order of all lines and draw them correctly, but when I add an graphics path to the array and when I try to add line to this graphics path VB 2008 gives me an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Please help, I don't want to use exactly a GraphicsPath for the lines, it can be something different.
Thank you!

SOAP/VB6 Reading Arrays

Hello All,

I am hoping someone could steer me in the right direction with a problem I am having.

I created a small app that sucessfully consumes a Web Service and traps the response. I am able to read individual pieces of the document but when it comes to arrays, I am having the most difficult time.

Below I have posted the XML response and what I am looking to store is the values in ref1 and ref2. But I don't know how to get at them. I see a reference to these 2 elements in the SearchServiceNames and ServiceLastModificationDates tags but I am totally lost on how to read and hook the two up.

Any help would be most appreciated. I thank you for your time and comments.

Add an exception to your antivirus for your application.

See how generic of an answer that was? See how it's frustrating?

It's the same thing for me with your generic question.

Approximate zero values in an array

Johnkokk9-Dec-09 23:52

Johnkokk

9-Dec-09 23:52

Ok, here is the question

I have an array with let's say, the following values :

17
18
0
0
24
23
0
20
0
0
0
16

I need to approximate(average) the ZERO values to the non zero values.For example i would expect the 0 between the 23 and the 20, to become 21.5.
Or the first 2 zeros to be 20 and 22.

Can you help ?

It should be easy but i am completely stuck in here.

This is simple mathematics. Add up the numbers surrounding the zeros and calculate the average (by division). Replace the zeros with the average values. Try doing it with pencil and paper to see how it can be achieved.

It's not really the average, though, if I've understood the question.

The sequence 23, 0, 20 becomes 23, 21.5, 20.

18, 0, 0, 24 becomes 18, 20, 22, 24

20, 0, 0, 0, 16 becomes 20, 19, 18, 17, 16.

Not sure what the technical term for that is. Interpolation? Even so, it is still simple maths. The only tricky bit is handling the end conditions if a 0 occurs at the first or last position in the array.

You're right of course, I was confused (quite easy thing to do) by the questioner using the expression "approximate(average)".
