• lms07424 Rounding Help

  Hello, I'm new to the forums, so if I have placed this message in the wrong subject, I apologize. But, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. I am trying to compare two numbers in VB.net. I want to compare all the digits to the left of the decimal point and only the first digit to the right to see if they match. For example: 8.6 4 and and 8.6 9 would be a match because all that I'm concerned with is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. But, if I use the Math.Round , it would round 8.6 4 to 8.6 and 8.6 9 to 8.7 - and then they wouldn't match. I thought I could determine the length of the number and then trim the digits, but there could any number of digits to the left and/or right of the decimal poin ...Show All

• miltho clean solution

  Where can I find a discussion of clean solution Exactly what it does, etc. I haven't found any dox on it. Thanks I wasn't aware of 'Unused References' Thanks for your reply. That much I was able to determine before. Your hi-lite gets to my point (and what I need more info on). I have a project with 3 direct dll references (all my own dll's ). These, in turn, reference others. After a BUILD, I have about a dozen dll's in References -> Bin -> Debug and ->Release. As I bounce back and forth between changing the dll's and recompiling the main project, I use Rebuild Solution which is SUPPOSED to do a Clean first. But, it doesn't always work. SO ... I tried Build -> Clean Solution. IT D ...Show All

• DevDells Accessing Remote Computer's Information

  Okay, I'm creating a Visual Basic .NET 2005 Windows Service. I need it to periodically access some remote servers for their information. Right now, I'm working with drive information, so I'm trying to get the total space and the amount remaining on the drive of the remote server. How do I go about doing that I'm trying to keep this service centrally located so that it can access 3 separate servers without loading and configuring it individually. I tried My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo() and System.IO.DriveInfo, but, predictably, they only access local drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's some snipets from a application i wrote to collect computer info from our network. Pu ...Show All

• ssfftt Saving forms at runtime??

  If I want the user of my program to be able to enter data into a form, and then be able to save that form/data so, if need be, they can come back to the form and change the data without starting over from scratch, how would I do this I am using VB.NET 2003. Is it possible If so, can you point me towards any resources that will show me how to do this Any help would be very much appreciated. For every item that the user adds to your base form you are going to have to keep track of the control and its properties. I would do this by using xml files and serialization. This is nothing different from many applications which save the data that you enter to a database. So, lets save you create a n ...Show All
