• Trainwreck Getting processor type

  Is it possible to get the processor type and count in VB2005 I cant seem to find anything in the my.computer namespace. and without using wmi..the best you will do is to return the processor architecture: Dim a As System . Reflection . Assembly = System . Reflection . Assembly . GetExecutingAssembly () Dim MyAssembly As System . Reflection . AssemblyName MyAssembly = a . GetName MessageBox . Show ( MyAssembly . ProcessorArchitecture . ToString ()) Which on almost all machines will return MSIL not the actual processor type! To get processor count System.Environment.ProcessorCount ...Show All

• The Other Bill Object oriented issue puzzles me

  I have a project with a form and 2 classes: Form1, clsAcad.vb and clsAcadPlot.vb I'm trying to keep all my objects in the classes but most methods of these classes use the same objects. This forces me to initialize same objects in both classes, then apply methods on them. So, using code in Form1 I'd have to make sure I pass the same document names to variables in both classes before using them. Can I retrieve the object from the class to the Form1 and pass it to the other class I guess not, that would be a violation of the encapsulation concept. I could combine the 2 classes in 1 In this case I'll have a large class with many methods useless in other projects. Should I use inheritance Is there an easier way of doing this ...Show All

• XCT Adolfo Terminate program from nested function

  Hi, I'm writing a .dll. I'd like to know how to stop all the code running from anywhere in the solution.

• Han Qiao mcisendstring x64

  Hello, I got a little problem. I would like to play sounds with my application. I tried already a lot of methods. I tried the mcisendstring method too. This works very well in 32 bit (x86 compile), but not in 64 bit (x64 compile). But why does this not work in x64. I've installed Windows XP x64 so normally it has to work. Can somebody please help me Sincerely, Sascha Zeidler Your best bet would be to ask Larry Osterman since he is on the team at Microsoft that is familar with how the MCI command set was ported. If it was me though, I would just find another way to play my audio files. The MCI command set was written in 16 bit and than ported to 32 bit and it 'MIGHT' have been ported again to 64 bit.

• Acanthus array allocation vs. memory available

  When creating or redim'ing arrays, how does one tell if it was successful What if there wasn't enough memory available I can't find any documentation of an exception thrown when creating or redim'ing an array that needs more memory than the running system has available. Isn't that a real possibility What am I missing Steve if you wrap it in a try catch block and catch the exception if it was not successful. There are two ways of looking at memory (Physical and Virtual). For the most part with windows application, the memory is virtual which means you machine can use more than the physical RAM in your machine. It will create swap physical memory in out to disk when it it has to (somet ...Show All
