• Visual Basic Building a defragmentation tool with VB?

  Hello :) I want to train my VB and had this great idea for a small defragmentation tool with Visual Studio 2005. Only problem is, is there any "easy" way to defrag hard disks with VB code I wouldn't have a clue about where I should start looking.. (if it's possible at all) So if anyone would have any lead as to where I should start looking/learning, thank you very much! Greatly appreciated, Steven Its sounds like you are an ideas person - but lacking in the skills to achieve the result. I would probably steer away from this as a project for starting out - as disk defragging is something that to make a positive benefit requires some serious understanding of how the files are orgnaized and read ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005: Encrypting "data in motion" between client and server

  Right-clicking "Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" under the Sql 2005 Server Configuration Manager I find the "Force Encryption" option. Right-clicking the SQL Native Client Configuration, Client Protocols, I find "Force Protocol Encryption" I believe these can be used together to force the connection between a client (running the SQLNC client) and a sql 2005 server to be encrypted. In other words, the data "in motion" can be encrypted. 1. Is my understanding correct 2. Do I need to use a certificate to make this work TIA, Barkingdog Raul, Thanks for the info and I will read the articles. I was talking to ...Show All

• Windows Forms Storing custom class in Application Settings

  I would like to store a class defined by me in the "windows from application settings". This is not easy to do, but it seems to work, mostly: 1) Open Settings.settings with the Settings Designer. Because the dropdown list doesn't allow me to chose my own class, I just use a property of type string. Close the Settings Designer and save the changes. 2) Open Settings.settings with a text editor. Change the type to my class. save the change. 3) Open Settings.settings with the Settings Designer. A property wiht my the type of my class is displayed. Nice :-) From my code, I can create a new instance of my class and assign it to the application settings, save them and read them again. This works for all fields in my class wh ...Show All

• Smart Device Development serial port

  Hi, Im trying to make a program to communicate with something that is connected with the serial port. The device i wanna connect to the serial port knows several commands.

• Visual Basic Upgrading from VS.NET 2003 to VS2005

  Hi all, i am currently in the process of upgrading a large scale VB.NET application from VS.NET 2003 to VS2005. I converted the code successfully and it is working fine. However, the issue i am having now is that there is so much new stuff, i.e. controls, features, etc., in VS2005 that i feel overwhelmed. I don't know how to go about taking advantage of all the new controls. Has anybody gone through the same problem and if so what did you do Any general advice on upgrading from 2003 to 2005 Thanks. I would say that dont try and change everything at once - a sure fire way to cause headaches. Start introducing new features as you need them when you start developing new functionality.

• Visual C++ linker cache?

  When compiling a project does the linker cache what librarys it found certian object in If so how do I reset this, I can not seem to get the linker to stop looking for a library that no longer exists. There's an .ilk file in your Debug folder to support incremental linking. That's probably not it though. Check your Additional Dependencies settings (Linker, Input). You might also have compiled a source code file that contained a #pragma comment(lib, "blabla.lib") statement. Or you're linking a .lib file that has such a reference. If you can't figure it out, you can always use the undocumented /DISALLOWLIB:blabla.lib command line option... ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why am I getting double events?

  I have a question that I desperately need some insight into. I have a listview in a form and when I click it sometimes the 'SelectedIndexChanged' Event gets fired once, and sometimes twice. Why This pseudo-randomness is messing up my desired result. When it fires twice the code runs both times which is 1) redundant and 2) the results for the first time have faulty information(i.e. when fired twice the SelectedItems.Count =0 and the second time it =1). I have a theory that it has something to do with entering or leaving other controls in the form but I've been testing and can't get to the bottom and its becoming a nasty web. Can someone please help Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. Been a while sin ...Show All
