• Adam Plocher My application acts like a parasite?

  Hello! Strange subject I'll explain. I’ve got a very simple application. A client module that calls a login form, followed by a mdiparent form. This module connects to a remoting server. The client module is deployed via ClickOnce. Why do I say that my application acts like a parasite Because, sometimes, the last application (i.e. notepad, internet explorer, outlook, “you name it”) used before opening my application looses its independence. Steps: Open notepad (set focus to it) Open MyAPP (through menu created with clickonce) Focus notepad (impossible) – MyApp link in taskbar starts to blink.

• Kyle J. Listbox in Vb.net

  Hi pals, forgive my stupid question, but this issue is taking me much more time that it should: I have a listbox control, and I need to access all the items and obtain both there Value and there Text, for creating my objects, setting attributes and add them to a collection.

• Whoisit Vb Games

  Hi im wondering if vb was a good language for good games, not real games like in a store but like a 3d basic game, and what are real games like games sold in stores written in thanks in advance If you want to write games using managed code VB.Net/ C# Check out XNA http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/ At the moment it only supports Microsoft Visual C# 2005 but its still in beta and I'm sure that pretty soon (I gave Alex my crystal ball for xmas last year) so I cant predict the future. Microsoft will release the final product for both C# and VB - this should simplify your game creation process. Alex's advice is good - once you are familar with programming constructs in Object Oriented Language - switching to another ...Show All

• shax stored procedure is taking more time to execute from ADO

  We have a web application which uses VB DLL to execute the stored procedure on SQL server. The web application has multiple layers of DLLs which are called specific function such as business DLL for business logic and Data DLL for database calls. The stored procedure gets executed very fast if i execute from query analyzer or using a stand alone client server application. Howver the same stored procedure takes very long time if called from my web application DLL. I am using a seperate connection object for each call and a seperate command object for each database call. The stored procedure has a couple of temporary tables and returns about 1000 records. I am looking for cause of slow execution for stored procedure so that I can ...Show All

• Arran picking off each digit of an integer

  I am using the following code to pick off each digit of a number, from right to left. The number I am working with is 84357. So for the first iteration it should return the number 7 and for the second iteration it should return the number 5, and so on. But for some reason on the first iteration returns the expected results. Each subsequent iteration returns the number plus 1. In other words, when I run the program I am getting: 7, 6, 4, and 9. Instead of 7, 5, 3, 4, and 8. Can someone tell me what's wrong with my code Sub Main() Dim input As Integer = 84357 Dim digit As Integer Dim decimalNumber As Integer Dim divisor As Integer = 1 While input >= 0 digit = (input / divisor) Mod 10 divisor *= ...Show All

• jazzydex Iterating through a given component type in a VB form

  Hello all, I am looking for a way to iterate through a given component type in a VB form. For example, if I want to go through all the buttons found in a given form and change their text to "XYZ", is there perhaps a "For Each" technique to do that The alternative is an ugly hardcoding of the button names, in the above example, and changing their text one by one ... not what I want. Cheers all. N.
