For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Use HTML in this post" check box is checked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question into an unrelated forum such as the lounge. It will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers,

I am attempting to create a list of lists so I can return a specific list when I reference list(index), for example. I created a custom class and am using it as the list type.
A subroutine reads through a text file (csv) one line at a time. The value in the line indicates the "section number" to which the rest of the line belongs, and all other values on that line are used to set certain properties in my custom class. (Confusing?)
Basically it reads through the lines, and if the first number is the same as the first number in the previous line, it processes the line and adds it to a list. If the number is different, it adds the list to the main list, then clears the list, and adds the current line to the new list.
And repeat until the end of the file.
Here is the code:
Dim EvalTopics As new List(of List(of customClass))
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(BLAHBLAHBLAH)
Dim OldSec As Integer = 0, NewSec As Integer = 0 Dim seclist As New List(Of customClass) While Not sr.EndOfStream
Dim splits() As String = sr.Readline.Split(",")
NewSec = splits(0) If OldSec <> NewSec Then
EvalTopics.Add(seclist)
seclist.Clear()
OldSec = NewSec
End If
Dim es As customClass = New customClass
With es
End With
seclist.Add(es)
End While
EvalTopics.Add(seclist) sr.Close()
After populating the lists, if I call up EvalTopics(0), I get the same as EvalTopics(3). In fact, every list I call up is the same as the LAST LIST ADDED.
Can someone point me in the right direction? At first I thought I was using lists incorrectly, so I tried an array of lists, then a list of arrays. Nothing worked.

Instead of
seclist.Clear()
use
seclist = New List(Of customClass)
Adding seclist to Evaltopics adds a reference, not a copy.
So it's necessary to create a new List after adding.

Dang it... I KNEW that, too! I guess it is time to start drinking coffee again.
Thanks to both of you!

You don't get copies of Lists, or any other reference type, without explicitly making the copies. It's never done implicitly.

My question has a scenario like this..
Example I made a solution program in vb.net called BookProgram then the compiler for debug is 32bit or x86 and for such coding I simultaneously made also on that solution x64 compiler debug (/assume they were on bin folder)
So is it possible to put a code that design to hide the form x86 program and show x64 form program vice versa without errors even though made in one solution program?
That concrete example is based on an uninstaller program because the anycpu is based on the current bit system and programs are likely missing vice versa to 86x compiler.

I really hate to tell you this but I've read and re-read your post a dozen times and nothing in your post was understandable. I have no clue what you're doing nor what you're having a problem with.

You would need a third program that will launch either the 32 or 64-bit version as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
|
What type of program will be like to open either 32 bit and 64 bit?
|
|
|
|
|
If the build target of the program was x86 (i.e. 32bit), the program will run in 32bit mode both on x68 and on x64 computers.
If the build target of the program was x64 (i.e. 64bit), the program will run in 64bit mode on x64 computers, but crash when you try to start it on x86 computers.
If the build target of the program was "Any CPU", the program will run in 32bit mode on x68 computers, and in 64bit mode on x64 computers.

guys can someone help in this problem i have been trying to save image into access table but the code i using is not working. here is the code
Private Sub Loadpicture_Click()
Dialog1.ShowOpen
Img.Picture = LoadPicture(Dialog1.FileName)
Private Sub Save_Click()
SavePicture Img.Picture, App.Path & "\photos\" & txtfullname.Text & ".jpg"
MsgBox "image saved", vbInformation, "New Solutions"
Adodc1.Refresh

Your code "isn't working" because you are saving the image to a file, you're not attempting to save it to a database.
Having said that, it is probably the better option - save the image to a specific folder then store the name of the file on your database
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to CHill60's comments, you are displaying a "image saved" message, without any checks to see that you have actually saved it. I see this more and more these days and find it quite worrying.
|

|
|
Saving images into an Access database can be a very bad idea, depending on the version you are using. Earlier versions stored images as uncompressed bitmaps, even if the original image was in a compressed format, such as jpeg
It's much better to store the image on disk, and store a pointer (path and filename) in the databse, and load the picture at runtime

Hi,
I've been using batch scripts to help automate pre-loads (pre configurations) of client computers for software installations. We support multiple software packages, from multiple program vendors.
What happens now is that the batch script asks a series of questions to "build" subsequent scripts to help with the automation. It works, but it's old-fashioned and brute force. Unfortunately, my programming background is batch and dBase, so I'm a little out of my depth. I'm up for a project, and would love to learn to program using this task as my educational trip!
Here's What I would like to do:
Have a script / application which starts a "GUI" to collect data (the variables used to install the various applications) and document the installation. Once done, the script should be able to SAVE The data to a file (thinking XML) and then fire off chained installations and or allow the technican to pick and choose what they would like to do (say something breaks mid-way through the chain, re-start at that point).
Is this something I should do with VBScript or a VB Application?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
Scott

There are various installer programs available that will do all the hard work, and Google will find them for you.

Richard,
I've looked at a few and feel that the scope of our varied projects kind of precludes using them.
For example: Need to install 3 packages with command-line swithches
Need to apply registry "tweaks" to some based on the data locations found at the client site (we do not control this variable)
Need to apply patches based on end-user preferences.
The flexibility of our current setup is that it allows us to create / re-create on the fly while onsite. We are only onsite for the installation and don't necessarily have return visits to the location.
Thanks for your speedy response,
Scott

Well just about every other manufacturer finds that one or other of them works OK. If you feel that none of them meets your requirements then you have a long job ahead of you writing your own.
[edit]
I don't think this is a job for either VBScript or VBA, but for a proper programming language, like VB.NET or C#.

Yes, I was aware of that Richard, my question was would it be better to start it out in VB, VBScript, or perhaps you had a different recommendation. I specifically didn't mention using other vendor products. This isn't a speed-dependent undertaking, it's more of a learning process with a pay-off in the end in terms of having something custom and flexible for our small, but highly custom fishbowl.
Ok, I see you edited the response, thanks for the point. I've got some basic apps written in VB, so I'll most likely continue on using that. Thanks for your help and advice.

It may be worth looking into AutoIT[^].
I have not used it in anger, so to speak, but have heard it recommended on a few occasions and the scripting language does seem to have the features you are looking for.

Hi All,
I am new to here. I have a situation where I need to create zip files from 5k files but with condition, the size of the zip file should not be more than 2MB so. Here, what I am doing is, creating Numerous zip files from all the 5kfiles.
Is there any script, code already available for this task? Is it possible to achieve this?
Thank you In Advance,
Best Regards,
Arjun

It depends on the capabilities of the .ZIP library you're using. Consult the documentation on whatever you're using to find out if it can do that.
You may just have to add a file to the .ZIP, save it, check the file size, then add another until you cross the limit you're looking for. Once there, remove the last file and you're back down to whatever limit you imposed.

Have a look at DotNetZip[^] - the examples page[^] shows how to do this, under the title "Create a split zip containing all the files in a folder":
Using zip As New ZipFile()
zip.AddDirectory("c:\my Documents\ProjectX", "ProjectX")
zip.Comment = "This zip was created at " & System.DateTime.Now.ToString("G")
zip.MaxOutputSegmentSize = 2*1024*1024 zip.Save("ProjextX.zip")
End Using
