I would just save toa text file. Then you could read from the file to restore the valus. It is easy. You need System.io an duse stream reader and stream writer.
I have a logon form which is check for a saved user name from a file at load. And on Enter I save the user name to this same file. That way the user name is remembered when the program is ended and then restarted.
Ex. ( sName4User is global variable,
Private Sub frmLogon_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' This will retreive a user name from file if present.
' Opens a file stream for reading
Dim myFS As New FileStream("c:\winnt\Temp\User.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.None)
Dim myReader As New StreamReader(myFS) ' Assigning a reader
sName4User = myReader.ReadLine 'Retreives username
If Not sName4User Is Nothing Then
txtName.Text = sName4User
End If
myReader.Close()
End Sub
Private Sub btnEnter_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnter.Click
'Storing username to file and closing if a username was entered
If txtName.Text <> "" Then
sName4User = txtName.Text
' Opens a file stream for reading
Dim myFS As New FileStream("C:\winnt\Temp\User.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
Dim myWriter As New StreamWriter(myFS) ' Assinging a reader
myWriter.WriteLine(sName4User) ' Storing to the file
myWriter.Close()
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
Else
txtName.Text = "Enter a user name"
txtName.Focus()
txtName.SelectAll()
End If
End Sub

Is there such a thing as a copy constructor in VB.NET?
How do I copy a class? Do I have to copy the class data explicitly?
Thanks in advance

Yes, if the class supports the ICloneable interface, you can use the <object>.Clone() method to create a copy of the object. SUch as copying a Bitmap object:
Dim cloneBitmap As Bitmap = myBitmap.Clone(cloneRect, format)

I have just written my first VB.Net application. It uses a custom control, which I put into a control library project, which is loaded from a subroutine. the application runs fine when I build it in .Net, but when I use a startup project to build an installer,then install the application and try to launce the application, I get an error that the custom control or one of its dependencies can't be found. I traced the dependency that is not being found to the mscorlib. The application and teh custom control both have the following references:
Interop.Excel (10)
Microsoft.Office.Core
stdole
System
system.Data
System.Drawing
System.Windows.Forms
System.XML
Interop.VBIDE
1) How can I correct the dependency not found problem? I read that "you should avoid loading assemblies at run time by means of code or manually add the dependent assemblies to your deployment project". How do I add the assembleis (and which ones) to the deployment project?
2) What is the Interop VBIDE?
2) How do I deal with the dependencies on Office and Excel object libraries in my deployment. I found a help file that says to exclude the dependencies on other products from the deployment project, and write launch condition to prevent installation if the dependent file is not found. How do I do that?
Please respond quickly, I am supposed to send this application out for testing this week!
Thanks!

I am attempting to write an image to a network stream and am experiencing dificulties.
I have tried something allong the lines of:
<br />
myImage.Save(myNetworkStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)<br />
This causes a exception:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException' occurred in system.drawing.dll
Additional information: A generic error occurred in GDI+.
So I changed my code to:
<br />
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream()<br />
'' write the image to the memory stream<br />
myImage.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)<br />
'' declare a byte array <br />
Dim b(ms.Length - 1) As Byte<br />
'' set the position within the memory stream<br />
ms.Position = 0<br />
'' read the memory stream into byte array<br />
ms.Read(b, 0, ms.Length)<br />
'' write the byte array into the network stream<br />
myNetworkStream.Write(b, 0, b.Length)<br />
Is there a better way? Can anyone see why the first method threw an exception?
Regards

i have just purchased and installed (successfully the message said) visual basic.net standard 2003. I am unable to create a new project, add a new item or blank solution. In fact, anything to do with adding or new windows form it will generate an error saying it cannot perform this operation. Can anyone help, with this problem.

Supplying the EXACT error message would very much help to determine the problem.

When creating XML is better to just use string concatenation or use the XML document and create it in that? How would I go about doing the second?
Thanks

It seems to me that there are 1000s of examples of how to read XML but very few on how to write XML - I have always used string concatenation but it can look a bit messy after a while.

Hello,
I am receiving data of 3 KB from a Linux Server in a VB client which connects to the server after every 2 minutes(using a timer).I am working in a LAN. I dump the data received in a text box after the .GetData method.The problem is that at an average of 40% of the time I am getting no/garbage data.The pattern is inconsistent i.e.it might receive correct data 5 times and then maybe fail 2 times.
Can anybody suggest a reason for this because I think I should receive data with more than 90% success in a small network.
Also,is it possible to assign more than 1 port in a server and and have the client connect to the different ports ? If yes, how ? I want to know this because I want to send/receive different data through different ports for different screens in the VB client application.
Thanks,
Dhrubo

You might want to include some code samples from the server and client so we can see what your doing right/wrong.

For the code below, I always get an empty string from "GetWindowText()" call, instead of getting the caption or title of the window.
Not sure, why am I getting that empty string?
Any help is appreciated.

I am attempting to stong name my first assembly. I found the Sn.exe utility,but can't seem to open it. When I try, it flashes on the screen and then disappears. The reference book I am using is very vague on how to use the utility. what am I doing wrong?
Please respond as soon as you can, I need to get the deployment done so I can get this application to my associates!
Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
That's because SN is a command line utility. It doesn't have a window interface. Go to Start/Programs/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2002|2003)/Visual Studio .NET Tools and click on Visual Studio .NET (2002|2003) Command Prompt. Then type your SN command in there.

Now I have another problem. My application references both Interop.Excel and Interop.VBIDE. after I assigned a strongname key pair to the (2) assemblies I wrote, I tried to build the solution, and got a build error saying that I needed to strong name these two assemblies. How do I do this?
Thanks Again!

Hi,
From VB, how can we kill a particular process, given the following scenario:
I see 2 applications, say cmd.exe in task manager and only one of them is of my concern, which I would like to kill from VB.
How can I distinguish this cmd.exe from the other. Note that I dont know which one to kill just by looking at it and also the process ID's change everytime I restart an application which generates this cmd.exe
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

|
|
|
|
In simple terms, you can't tell them apart unless there is a property that is unique to the process your trying to kill, like MAYBE its MainWindowTitle.
Use the Process class to get the list of processes. You can then use the Close method on the instance of Process to terminate that process.
