Hi!
I'm looking for an informative "step by step" guide/example on how to use/create crystal reports in VB.NET.
The basics, and som nice tips! Maybe a complete example?
Anyone knows where to find that?
Cheers!

Hi every body!
please tell me! how can i set a code part to critical section?
Thanks!

Can anybody tell me why this is illegal and how to do it correctly?
Option Strict is on
Dim IDList as ArrayList
Dim IDs() as Int32
IDs = IDlist.ToArray(GetType(Int32))
--------------Error---------------------------
Option strict on dissalows implicit conversions from System.Array to 1 Dimensional array of integer
Definitely a PEBCAK! (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

This is because IDList.ToArray() is returning an Array object and not an Object(). You might want to remove the GetType(Int32) and try it. But I think it's still going to fail. The problem your running into is an ArrayList is a general type collection, not an Object(). It can hold any type of data without being cast to a specific type first. You can create an ArrayList without any parameters and just start adding Strings to it and it won't complain. Same is true for Integers...if you just create the ArrayList and start adding numbers to it, chances are that ArrayList is a collection of Integers and not Int32s. This is were your casting problem is coming from. Your trying to do two cast's, an Integer to an Int32, and an Array to an Object(), under the Strict rules.
You either have to use the ArrayList as is, or use an Object() array instead of an ArrayList (consistancy of object types is key!), or get rid of the Option Strict.
Personally, I never use Option Strict...

Can anyone please tell me how to capture the packet in vb.net(code)in windows and how to program to manipulate the data field of the TCP and UDP packets. i have no idea about it. just tell me from the begining. should i have to do the SDK or device driver programming. so where to start.i really need help these days so i am looking forward to you people for some tips.

I'm trying to understand what you are trying to do.
1. Capture a packet.
2. Modify the data in that TCP or UDP packet.
3. Send the modified packet on its way.
Is this correct?

yeah correct i want to do the same thing actually i want to make my encryption algorithm and apply on the data field of the UDP and TCP packets in wireless packets. can you tell me or guide me stepwise what should i do . main thing is that i want to do it in vb.net. lookiing forward to you.

The obvious question is why don't you encrypt the packets at source rather than in transit? (by "in transit" I mean that after the process that is sending the packets has created the packet but before the packet has left the PC) I am assuming that you did not create the process that is sending or receiving the data.
I think what you need to look at is something like an NDIS hook - which is effectively a kernel mode device driver that hooks into the network layer just as the packets are entering/leaving the PC. There is a solution out there that will allow you to create such a hook and pass it into something that isn't a kernel mode process (like VB.NET). However, I don't recall what it is called off the top of my head. (I'll get back to you on that). If you don't want to use that solution then I think you are going to have to create your own kernel mode device driver which most definitely cannot be written in VB.NET.

What your thinking of is an NDIS Intermediate Driver. These things slide in between the miniport and protocol drivers.
For original poster:
Docs on NDIS Intermediate drivers start here[^]. Your best best is to write the NDIS driver in C++. That'll save you time of recoding all of the structures, constants and function headers. You'll be doing this for about 3 dozen functions and structures. On top of that, you'll have a VERY difficult time debugging this thing unless your up to speed on debugging kernel mode drivers...

Almost, what I was thinking of was an NDIS Filter Hook Driver[^]

i cant understand you what are you saying, you mean that
i should NDIS hook , take its output to manipulate data field of TCP and then again pass this information to the driver? where should i write the code in vb.net which will do the work? is this or else?
can you briefly explain the steps involving in this thing?
and can you refer me some tutorials?
anyways thanks i seached on the google and found some sites on ndis.
waiting...

If you are not generating the packets in the first place then yes - The wording of your previous posts indicates that this is the case. If you are generating the packets there are easier solutions open to you.

It is not something that VB.NET can do by itself, you will need a third party piece of software. NTKernel[^] produce a product called WinPKFilter[^] which might suit your needs.
To connect it to VB.NET you will need to P/Invoke the functions that you are interested in.

The web site, has a forum for its products and demo software to show how to build applications using its components.

Packet capturing is not so simple that someone could explain everything about it here. It's just too big a topic. But there is a couple of articles on it here[^] and here[^] on CodeProject. There are also some packet capture libraries out there like this one[^]. It amazing what you can find with a Google search on "source code packet capture"!

Hi. I'm a newbie programmer so my problem probably have an easy solution.
Here's the code that adds items to my ComboBox:
*****************************************************'
Sub loadTypCombo()
Dim recset As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = loadDatabase(CommonDialog1.FileName)
recset.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
recset.LockType = adLockOptimistic
Set recset.ActiveConnection = conn
recset.Open "SELECT * FROM tblObjects ORDER BY Name"
While Not recset.EOF
TypCombo.AddItem (recset("name"))
recset.MoveNext
Wend
recset.Close
Set recset = Nothing
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub
******************************************************
The problem I have is when I run the program only 4 of the 5 records in tblObjects are added to my ComboBox, however, when I debug all 5 are added and it works like it's supposed to.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance, Rikard

i have a form allows me to add, edit, delete records, and also see the master list of my records, this form has a dataset and a winsock-like object (private withevents) this application is connected to a server using my winsock-like object
what it does is that everytime i click on add or edit, a new form is instantiated and the record which i want to edit from the previous form is loaded in this new form (in the case of add, no data is loaded on the form) after adding or making the changes, the new form calls the add record method / edit record method to...
1. update the changes to the database
2. pass the new data to the server using my winsock-like object
after executing, the new form closes itself. i don't have any problems with updating changes to the database, but when i try to send the new data thru my winsock-like object, it gives me a "object reference not set..." error where in fact i clearly created a new instance of my winsock class when the form was loaded and the connection is still alive between my application and the server, should i change the modifier of my winsock-like object from private to shared or protected? please tell me what went wrong, thanks

It's definately not a modifier problem. You'll have to supply some code and the exact error message and the line it shows up on. It could also be that the problem is in your "winsock-like" object. Is your object throwing the exception and your main code catching and not handling it?

thanks anyway, it's already working, i realized that i instantiated the winsock object during "form load" and not inside the form's constructor

How do you pull data from a database and set them as columnheader in listview or a datagrid?
|
|
|
|

Are you using a stored procedure?
Give more info about your requirements...

The list view will be controlled by a date or calendar control. Haven’t decided whether to use a stored procedure. Since I use a select statement with a case argument. Still not getting the look I want.
It would be similar to a cross tab table used in ms access.

Hey Ole123
Well I will leave the front end to you, but if you choose to go with a stored proc then here is the basic layout including getting the headers...
CREATE PROCEDURE MP_CB_Get_CallBacks
AS
-- V1.0.0 : Super Winsock : 4 March 2002
-- Returns the Column names and width for the grid.
-- It also returns the data.
SET NOCOUNT ON
--Returns the Column names and it's width.
-- 1st is the column name & 2nd is the column width and so on.
SELECT
'Id',
0,
'Student_Name',
0,
'Teacher_Name',
2000,
'Subject',
1500,
'Time',
1500,
'Date',
1500
SELECT
[Id],
Student_Name,
Teacher_Name,
Subject,
Time,
Date
FROM
?Table
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
/* Hope this helps?
|
|
|
|
|
I forgot to add that the student data is a seperate table as well as the teacher's data. So I have a Student and Teacher table. I don't think I could use a stored procedure.
