You already know how to call the Create method on the Win32_Share class, so what's so hard about calling its Delete method?
All you do is a WMI search for Win32_Share object with the Name you want, then call its Delete method.
You may want to consult the documentation on Win32_Share[^]for more.

thanks for your answer
i searched many articles but i dont know how use Delete Method of the Win32_Share Class
when i use this cose:
Dim dir As String = fpath
Directory.CreateDirectory(dir)
'Create a ManagementClass Object
Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share")
' Create ManagementBaseObjects for in and out parameters
Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Delete")
Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject
' Set the input parameters
inParams("Description") = fname
inParams("Name") = fname
inParams("Path") = dir
inParams("Type") = &H0
' Invoke the method on the ManagementClass object
outParams = managementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, Nothing)
'Confirm that the operation is successful
If CUInt(outParams.Properties("ReturnValue").Value) <> 0 Then
Throw New Exception("Unable to share the directory.")
End If
MessageBox.Show("Folder share deleted")
in this line: "inParams("Description") = fname" it has a error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
fname is not null and has value

Try the documentation on MSDN. It's always a good place to start.
Win32-Share[^] and Delete method[^]

You didn't bother reading the documentation in the link I gave you in my last post, did you?
There are no parameters to pass to the Delete method, so why are you calling GetMethodParameters?? What are you trying to set parameters?? Why are you still calling InvokeMethod on the Create method??
I already told you you need to SEARCH for a Win32_Share object with the NAME you want. You then call the Delete method on that instance.
mehrnoosh wrote: in this line: "inParams("Description") = fname" it has a error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Of course it errors! Why would you set a Description on an object you're trying to delete?!
It's obvious that you don't have any idea what a single line of this code does or how it relates to the idea of creating a Share let alone deleting one. Having said that, I have to ask if you know how to do a WMI search for an object?

Hi,
I create a MDI Parent form with a treeview control, each time user click tree node, a form related to this node will be opened as Module (not moduless), so mutiple child form can co-exist together, but how the MDI parent know if a child form is closed by user and then set the child form object to Nothing?
For example, I have parent form called frmMDIParent, and two child forms called frmChildForm1 and frmChildForm2.
public class frmMDIParent
Dim frmChild1 as frmChildForm1
Dim frmChild2 as frmChildForm2
private sub frmMDIParent_Load()
if frmChild1 is nothing then
frmChild1 = new frmChildForm1
frmChild1.MDIParent = Me
end if
if frmChild2 is nothing then
frmChild2 = new frmChildForm2
frmChild2.MDIParent = Me
end if
end sub
end class
if user click tree node1, then frmChild1.Show()
if user click tree node 2, then frmChild2.Show()
But when user close fromChild1, this form will be removed form parent's MDIChildren collection, but the frmChild object is still there, do we need to set it to Nothing when child from is closed? how? how the MDI parent can detect child form is closed?
Thanks!

They're still there because you're still holding on to a reference to the child form in your global class-scoped variables.
Normally, you'd just handle the item click in the TreeView, create a child form instance, set it up as an MdiChild, Show it and be done. But, your code is holding onto a reference that Mdi doesn't manage, so...
Either don't hold on to the reference or you'll have to subscribe to the child form's Closing event and handle it in there.

Dave,
Thanks for your reply.
Do you think it is necessary to create a class scope reference to child form? or just create a local referece when user click tree node, add set it as MDI child and show it? which way is better?
If we use local reference and user click tree node 1, the first child form is created and shown, how about if user click tree node 1 again? do we need to loop through all child form to check if the first child form in the collection or not, if yes, activate it, otherwise, create it, am I right?

Generally, no. If your application, data model design, form code is written completely encapsulating what they are responsible for, then you normally wouldn't need a class-level variable holding a reference at all and the problem your looking at wouldn't exist at all.

This is what i just told you in the last post.

I'd probably code it so that I'm searching the MdiChildren for the existance of a form that is working on the node in question. Of course, that would mean that the child forms are exposing a property that shows which node it's working on.
In all, I have no idea what your application is doing nor it's requirements, but you normally don't see an MDI environment hanging off a treeview. Normally, you'd only work on one item in the treeview at a time.

Dave,
Thanks for your detailed expaination.
My application will collect hundreds input data from user, these data is divided to several categories, each categroy has dozens of data, that's why I want to use tree view, and each node represent a category of data, and the reason I use MDI is because all these data are related together, so when user input data to a form, he can look at data in other form for reference.
After user input all the required data, we will prepare input files for a software to run calculation.
This project is now in design stage, so all the comments are very important to me.
If you have any suggestion for my case, please feel free to tell me, I am very appreciate your help.

It seems very cumbersome to switch back ansd forth between two forms just so you can enter data in one of them. If the data was that important to the second form, I would probably look into including that data on the new form in some form of making it so you don't have to reference another form. This could also be a sing that your data model is a bit too ... unorganized and cumbersome. When I design a layout, the user should have everything they need on a form so that decisions can be made to other options on the form.

Dave,
That's a good idea that each time only on form displayed.
I am also think about that if multiple child form opened together, user input data to one form, doesn't save it then switch to other form, it will cause mess.
Do you think it is good to open the child form as moduless, then either cancel form or fill in all data in the form when click OK?
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, child form cannot be opened as moduless.
In this case, how about if user just fill in some data in a form, he didn't save it, then click other tree node?
|
|

First, are you just showing the child form in the tree node click event?
Because if you set it to nothing and then call frmChild1.Show() you'll get a null reference error.
You really shouldn't initialize the forms when the form is loaded, but do it when the tree node is clicked.
Then, when you create the child node, you need to hook the form closed event.
Personally, I wouldn't define the children forms to begin with, but would use a Dictionary to store them as you create them.
But, the code would look like:
frmChild1 = New frmChildForm1
AddHandler frmChild1.FormClosed, AddressOf ChildFormClosed
End Sub
Private Sub ChildFormClosed(ByVal sender as System.Object, ByVal e as System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs)
CType(sender, Form).Dispose
If TypeOf sender Is frmChildForm1 Then
frmChild1 = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Again, that's not the way I would do it, but that's the way it looks like you want to.

William,
Thanks, it works fine.
But if you have better way, would please share with us.

I think you'll say the following code is better solution of your problem:
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
Select Case e.Node.Text
Case "Node0"
Dim frm As New Form1
frm.Name = "Form1"
frm.MdiParent = Me
Dim OldForm = System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms(frm.Name)
If IsNothing(OldForm) Then
OldForm = frm
End If
If Not OldForm.Visible Then
frm.Show()
Else
OldForm.Show()
OldForm.Focus()
End If
Case "Node1"
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.Name = "Form2"
frm.MdiParent = Me
frm.Show()
Case Else
MsgBox("None")
End Select
End Sub

In my company we use an instrument that connects to our laptops via a USB-to-Serial bridge (the instrument only communications via RS232). Now, I have figured out how to communication with the instrument from a laptop, however I am trying to figure out how to communicate with it from a PPC (most of the employees have the iPaq but some have newer PDAs that run Windows Mobile).
Below is the sample code of how my laptop software communications with the instrument. Any idea on how to do this from the PPC would be greatly appreciated.
Dim SerialPort As SerialPort = New SerialPort(COMPort, 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One)
Dim ACK(1) As Byte
Public ENQ() As Byte = {&H5}
Public BEGIN() As Byte = {&H54}
Public DataBuffer(4096) As Byte
Dim SerialPortOK As Boolean = False
SerialPort.Open()
SerialPort.Write(ENQ, 0, ENQ.Length)
Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000)
If SerialPort.BytesToRead Then
SerialPort.Read(ACK, 0, 1)
If ACK(0) = &H6 Then
SerialPortOK = True
Else
MsgBox("The instrument returned an unexpected result. Please check the instrument and try again.", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Invalid Response")
SerialPort.Close()
End If
Else
MsgBox("The instrument did not respond. Please check that it is connected and set to download mode.", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "No Response")
SerialPort.Close()
End If
If SerialPortOK Then
Download = New clsDownloadInstrument(FolderName, txtDownload.Text.Trim, InstrumentNumber, SerialPort)
Me.Enabled = False
Download.BeginDownload()
End If

I can probably help you on this, do the ppc's? have a serial port, and which version of Visual Studio are using?

I'm using visual studio 2008. The PDA has a USB (Not serial) port on the bottom. I'm connecting the USB cable for the PDA to a ATEN USB-to-Serial Bridge, which is then connected to the instrument.

does the pda recognise the USB Bridge as a serial port in its device manager?

Hi all,
I wrote a COM add-in for Excel with VB2008 Express. While the main "Connect" class (holding all the Extensibility stuff) seems to start in the way it's supposed to, a second class seems to produce a runtime error while starting. I say "seems" because to first impression it works, but during startup it's "loadBehaviour" value in the registry is reset from 3 to 2, pointing out a runtime error during startup.
Obviously there's no way to debug the addin while Excel is starting it up... so what would be a way (the best way  ) to find out which runtime error might cause that effect?
Thanks for any hints,
Michael

Thank you, Luc.
I do log the commands in my AddIn to a file, using a TextWriterTraceListener. Unfortunately that doesn't lead me anywhere - I call the AddIn class and get proper log results. But when I look at the respective Resistry values I see they have been reset (again and again).
The runtime error seems to occur during the loading process, and I guess it's an Excel activity to reset Registry values if it can't properly load an AddIn. I need to find out which statement or method in my AddIn makes the loading process fail... so I'd need a way to trace Excel's addin-loading activity, which seems to be even beyond workbook's VBA modules (guessing that from the fact that add-ins are present even without workbooks).
Do you have an idea how I could do that?

Did you put logging statements at the beginning of your suspected methods? All you have to do is log something like "Got to <some class:somemethod="">" at the top of your suspected methods. You don't have to put this on every method, just the top level ones.
Have you tried launching Excel (without your addin enabled), attaching the debugger to the Excel process, then loading the addin?
|

|

Thanks for your time, Dave.
I've added Trace statements to the relevant (likely errorous) class, starting in the New constructor. The lines are written, so it's got to be something else. But what do you mean with "...attaching the debugger to the Excel process..."? How would I do that / which debugger to use? 
Looking forward,
Mick

Under the Tools menu in Visual Studio, Attach to Process... Oh, you may want to set a breakpoint in the constuctor of your suspect class.
