• Visual Basic VB.Net (or C#) for machine control

  Hello Experts:      For some quick background - I've done lots of PLC programming (equipment design) and am probably an intermediate vb programmer. I have been dabbling a bit with the idea of using vb.net for machine control as it would provide many advantages in terms of software reusability, flexability, etc.       The challenges are two fold. The first is the abiltiy to interract with physical I/O and the other is the real-time aspect of control.       With respect to the first issue, OPC and Modbus TCP/IP seem to be the best options. I have read pros/cons of each but am still not certain which is the best choice in terms of performance and ease of use. Any t ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to transfer binary data from the server to a client?

  May be a wrong area for the question, but... How can I send a binary data from server to a client in IE6 via XMLHTTPRequest (is there any other way ) I did that partly in IE7, using the new property 'responseBody', but was unable to get size in bytes of the received data. How can I get this size in IE7 and perform this task in IE6 Thanks Base 64 is an old time-tested encoding scheme that was originally designed to support systems that did not properly exchange non-ASCII textual data. Binary files, like .exe files, .zip files, .wav files, etc., obviously fall into this category of non-textual data, so this encoding scheme is useful for these kinds of files if needed.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA - Microsoft lack of vision

  Its real sad that Microsoft, once again, shows this lack of vision for a games development tool: 1: Get visual: Don't force users to write such a lot of code to do just very little. It reminds the Charles Petzold's "Hello Window" hell of code days. 2: Provide visual tools: Let users choose the components, change their properties and write just the required code for the events. 3: Quick development means quick prototype and minimum learning curve. XNA has a lot of things to learn. Definetively it is NOT for students and hobbists. We will have to wait until someone encapsulates XNA framework into a group of visual components, that can be easily drag & dropped, inspected and tested very easily without having to learn lots of n ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem with passing arguments in shell command

  Aloha, I'm creating a GUI for a dos program I use a lot. Here i a sample of my code: [code] proc.StartInfo.FileName = "D:\\Program\\xyprogram.exe"; proc.StartInfo.Arguments = this.openFileDialog1.FileName; proc.Start(); [/code] This generates "xyprogram filename.txt" and it works.

  Hi: This is a bit wierd...we have a number of .net applications (2003) that use crystal reports.
