• delas Launching an app in Sub Main

  I am creating an application, where the form should not be visible. So I am using Sub Main as the startup procedure. The code for my Sub Main procedure is: Public Sub Main() Dim J as New JobQueManager J.JobQueManager_InitApp End Sub When I run my application, it starts in the Sub Main, launches the JobQueManager, and goes thru those procedures, but then comes back in the Sub Main, and exits, and my application unloads. When the JobQueManager goes thru its procedures, there is some user interaction required. But my application, just goes back and exits the Sub Main() and my application unloads. How can I allow for the user to interact Thanks I assume there must be some w ...Show All

• edukulla Efficient AutoComplete algorithm?

  This is something I've been wondering about for a while. In the past, I have wanted to load a table of string values into the autocomplete custom list for a textbox. This often works great, but is in issue if I'm iterating through 10000+ datarows to build the list. I've tried building the list asynchronously when the app first runs, then adding the collection to the autocomplete list when a control loads, but with so many entries even this lags. So I've been thinking about how to implement an efficient autocomplete algorithm on my own. Assume that I have an object that provides a pre-loaded generic collection of strings (list(of string), etc.). How could I design a function, taking an input of type char[ ] or string, and search through ...Show All

• J Andrews How do I get my IP address into a string?

  I'm not talking about local IP. I want it to be the same IP that I get by going to whatismyip.com. Also, what is that kind of IP address called Thanks The IP address that shows up when you go to whatismyip.com or what the rest of the world sees is not necessarily your computer’s IP address but could also be that of the gateway you are using and because of that verifying the address you appear to the public as can only be determined by going through it. One quick and easy way to do this would be with a web service or web page running remotely (ie on the internet) that would call either Context.Request.UserHostAddress (within a web service) or Request.UserHostAddress within an ASP.NET web page.

• erzfezsf Unexpected Results when resetting a dataset

  I have what is basically an adhoc query tool that loads a single table (ds.tables("Work")...)in one dataset from SQL server. The dataset can be saved with WriteXml(FileName, XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema) and reloaded with ReadXml(FileName, XmlReadMode.ReadSchema). Because the query behind each dataset might change between saved DataSets I am calling DS.tables("Work").Reset before each reload. The first "reload" of the dataset using the ReadXML works as expected, but if a second resultset is loaded the second set does not produce the desired results. ds.tables("Work:).rows.count returns the correct number of rows but ds.tables("Work").columns.count always returns 0. console.writeline ds.writexm ...Show All

• gray-82 Showing a form in a tabcontrol

However, I want the form to appear in the current tab area of the tabcontrol. I can't seem to find the right combination of commands! Thanks, Carl Yes, you can. Not with the designer though, you have to do it a run-time. For example: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim f2 As New Form2 f2.TopLevel = False f2.Visible = True Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls.Add(f2) End Sub Thanks for the reply. ...Show All
