Hi everyone
I am in my final yr at uni doing my main project on a program to teach the basics of Word to beginners, it will be it two languages Vietnamese and English. My program will have tests, quizzes and tutorials. I have been playing around with VB.Net and can not decide on how to get the forms to loads the files, and what format to have the files in html, pictures our just a text box. Please can anybody suggest a suitable method for loading files on forms or another of presenting data on forms.
Thanks
Vu

I'm not totally clear on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to load MS Word documents in a Windows Form? What is the end result?

How do I add attributes to an assembly that specify
1. That an assembly/class is visible/invisible to COM
2. That a method is visible/invisible to COM
3. That a property is visible/invisible to COM

The default is visible.
If you want to hide something, use System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisibleAttribute like so:
<ComVisible(False)> _
Public Class MyClass
End Class The same syntax applies to methods and to properties.
However, types are not registered with COM by default. To do so, check 'Register for COM Interop' in the project properties, or use regasm.exe.

Hi 
ive created a program that will read a file, check it for the word "error" and then email me with a list of all new errors in the file. im now trying to get the program to read the file every 5 minutes and then send email notification only if there are new errors - could some1 pls help? here's my code so far, which was working until i started to get the timer working!

Since I am not sure what OS you are running on I can’t make a concrete recommendation but why not use the available system scheduler that exists in the OS and not worry about that part in your application.
Most OS today offer some type of scheduler to automate tasks running at specific intervals.

Hi there Ok, the timers seems fine now, next prob is this: I want the program to email only if the file contains new "errors" but NOT to email if there are no new instances of the "error" word. so i wrapped the mail code in if sline <> "" then ... (mail code)...end if and it doesnt seem to mail at all now (i added errors manually to the file to check it). Could u pls tell me where im going wrong? Thanx!

Hello all!
I have a problem with my application.
After completion of my program, when I install it to some other PC & try to run it, it gives me "path not found error" for database file. I have used Ms Access file as my backend.
I use Data Adapter Configuration Wizard to make Oledbadapter, Oledbconnection & Dataset. I then realize that the path of my backend file is set according to my computer's path. Someone told me to use Application.Startuppath in connection string.
Now I want to know here how to use it, & specially where to use it?
As I have mentioned earlier that I use wizard to make connection object, I copy the connection string from oledbconnection's property window & copy it to my form's load event like so (but I didn't delete the Oledbconnection object):
Dim cnn as new oledbconnection
dim path as string = application.startuppath & "\" & "Database.MDB"
cnn.connectionstring="........, Data source=" & path & ",..........
But this thing didn't work here. I still got path error, or sometimes I got this error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Isn't there a way by which I can solve this problem? I am using wizard as I am not so familier with VB.NET.
Can anyone help me to complete my project.
Thanx in advance.

A couple of questions...
Is the Database.MDB file shared on a server somewhere or is it local to the client machine?
If it is supposed to be local, is the file part of the installation?
If it is part of the install, where is the file being written to?

The file is not shared, its local to client system.
I want to deliver this database file to my client, so I added it while I develop my setup & package. So when the setup is run, the file is also installed to application's folder.
Now for your last question, sorry I don't understand what you want to say. Its a simple Ms Access file having some tables & relationships between them. That's it. I just want to deliver this file alongwith my application so I add it with the application.
Waiting for reply.
Thanx...

Are you absolutely sure the database file is being written to the same directory as your .EXE?

hello friends,
iam developing an application. i want to insert a picture from my front end . this picture has to be saved in the sql server database. how can i do it
|
|
|
|
|
vb6 and ADO or Vb.Net and ADO.NET ?
if vb6:
check the AppendChunk method of the field object
you can load the picture in an array then add it to that field.
|
|
|
|
|
how do i go about scanning an image with an adodb control with access as a backend and VB6 as the front end.THis is needed for the purpose of the project regarding automating the registrations of a computer institute.

 Are you f***ing mad. Try and do something else like have sex. F***er?????

Use ADODB to scan an image? Bottom line is -> you can't. That's not what ADODB does.
Are you trying to capture an image from a video camera? If so, what kind? A QuickCam?
For something like that, your going to need a SDK from the manufacturer of the camera to get at an image. Logitech has one that works with its line of QuickCams at http://developer.logitech.com.

I start my project with a module called SubmainController.vb which contains a Public Sub Main()
In this public sub main I want to call a sub from another form in the project. I’ve tried the following without ant success.
Dim Myform1 as new Form1
Call Myform1.LoadFromFile
(property access my assign to the property or use its value
Dim ProjectName as string “Web Project”
Call ProjectName.Myform1.LoadFromFile
(myform1 not a member of string)
I though this would be simple. I appreciate help
Thanks GregC

How about making the Sub a Public method of a separate class, thus making it available to both forms without the need of instantiating either form unneccessarily. As an alternative, if the method is declared Shared, it should be accessible even without creating an instance of the form, simply by calling Form.MethodName().
Oh, and you don't need to use "Call" anymore.

Hi should have added that this is an event.
Public Sub loadFromFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles loadFromFile.Click
is it possible to raise an event on another form from a sub main? i'm not quite sure how to code that. Would i need to change the above click event code and how would I call or raise the event from the sub main? And would rasing the event execute the click event?
Thanks, GregC

You can certainly do something like what you describe; here's what I did:
Module MainModule
Sub Main()
FormRaisingEvent.LoadFromFile(New Object, New EventArgs)
End Sub
End Module
and the form's code looks like this:
Public Class FormRaisingEvent
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
' Windows Form Details omitted...
Public Shared Sub LoadFromFile(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
MessageBox.Show("Hello!")
End Sub
End Class
The important things are 1) declare the Sub as Shared and 2) when you call the method of the form from somewhere else, pass it the parameters required in the method's signature.
Let me know if this answers your question.
