I'm looking for a midi piano class that is written in vb.net. I have found plenty in VB6 and C, but not written in Vb.net. The class should be able to play notes that I can call from the form with parameters for note (e.g. "C" in octave 4) and for duration (millisecons). The grand piano sound of General MIDI is enough.
Here are two examples. Can someone translate one of them in VB.net? I would be most grateful!

You can modify this vb.net code into a class,
Take a look here:
http://www.tomgroves.net/projects/vbmidi/[^]
Notes:
'Grand Piano Midi Patch Number is 0
'Octave 4 "C" Pitch (Midi Note Number) 108, Freq = 4,186.0090448096 Hz

Hey, thanks a lot!  I'll try that tomorrow. By the way, is it possible to play two notes at the same time?

In Sequence, Yes, just send the new message right after the first message.(just don't forget to close all the messages when your done with them.)

OK! The code worked very well.
One question still: How to open two midi channels and play them at the same time: one playing grandpiano and the other playing percussion (drum hit)?
|
|

|

'Send a program change message. Change the last zero to any other number < 16
'to specify which channel to alter. Change '70' to any number between 0 and 127
'to set which patch to assign.
'
'sm(&HC0 + (70 * &H100) + 0)
' ^ ^
' | |
' | +---------- Midi Channel Number (0 to 16)
' |
' +----------------------- Midi Patch Number (0 to 127)
sm(&HC0 + (118 * &H100) + 1) ' <<== Change Patch to 118 "GM Synth Drum" on channel 1"
Or change Midi Channel to 9 (all notes in GM on channel 9 are different percussion instruments)
Here is a "Patch Map" for GM Patches(subtract 1 in your code) and GM Drums( channel 9).
http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/links/music/gm.htm[^]
Example:
sm(&HC0 + (0 * &H100) + 0) <== Change Patch on Channel 0 to "Grand Piano"
sm(&HC0 + (118 * &H100) + 1) <== Change Patch on Channel 1 to "GM Synth Drum"
sm(&H90 + ((60) * &H100) + (80 * &H10000) + 0) <== Octave 0 Middle "C" "Grand Piano" on Channel 0
sm(&H90 + ((62) * &H100) + (80 * &H10000) + 1) <== Octave 0 Middle "D" "GM Synth Drum" on Channel 1
sm(&H90 + ((38) * &H100) + (80 * &H10000) + 9) <== GM Drum kit "Acoustic Snare" Channel 9
Would play "C" (Pitch on Piano), "D"(Pitch on Synth Drum), And the Acoustic Snare.

Hello,
I made an application, which is a kind of basic explorer window, but with a tree on the left side that has a specific structure. The problem is that in the right side window, the viewing window where you see what is in the directory you selected on the left side, those files and directories are always default in 'large icon' view while I need a 'list' view (the files have long names). The only way of changing the view now is right click, choose view and select list. To do this in every window is time consuming. How can I set default view to 'list' instead of 'large icons'?
I've been digging in in manuals and forums but can't seem to find the answer.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Maarten

What control are you using to display the file list? Assuming it's a ListView control, all you need to do is change it's .View property to View.Details in your initialization code or in the Properties window in the Form Designer.
Private Sub Form_Load(blah, blah) Handles MyBase.Load
ListView1.View = View.Details
End Sub

Thank you Dave.
Well, I use a simple Forms.Webbrowser . Depending on the selected item on the left I pass a path on our server to the webbrowser who shows the files/folders on this location (other people can change that filestructure in the normal way). But shows it in Large Icon view. This should be list by default.
Greetings,
Maarten

Using the webbrowser control to show the file list gives you less flexibility. I don't know if you can set this view on the webbrowser control. It might take a registry modification to set the view you want. But, there is a problem. If you change it, it changes this setting for every instance of Internet Explorer the user launches, not just your instance in your app. Changing a setting that controls stuff system-side is greatly frowned upon and considered very bad practice.
If all you're doing is showing a list of file, using a ListView, and filling it yourself, you'd have much greater control over stuff like this.

Thank you for your explanation.
I used this webbrowser because it has a preview part on the left side (if the window is big enough). It has all of the nice features an explorer window has: drag n drop, placing, deleting files/folders, renaming them... In fact, I'm just looking for a standard explorer but with on the left side my own built tree structure. Tonight (GMT +1) I'll post a printscreen of the application.
I was indeed afraid that it would hold registry modif's, not exactly what I was looking for Thanks for pointing that out. I'll check if I can delete, rename etc. files using listview...
Thank you for your help!

What is it that you need help with, then?

this is my code for the insert
Private Sub submit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submit.Click
Dim connString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=D:\\inetpub\wwwroot\purchasing\ReturnToVendor\2006 Shipping db.mdb"
Dim SQL2 As String = "Insert into ReturnToVendor (shippername, ponumber, ranumber, authorizedby, itemtoreturn, itemvalue, qtytoreturn, qtyunitofmeasure, reasonforreturn, actiontobetaken, notes, shipvia, rcicontact, contactdepartment, contactcostcenter, contactphonenumber, contactfaxnumber, carriername, Documentdate) values ('" & shippername.SelectedValue & "', '" & PONumber.Text & "', '" & ranumber.Text & "', '" & AuthorizedBy.Text & "', '" & ItemToReturn.Text & "', '" & ItemValue.Text & "', '" & qtyToReturn.Text & "', '" & qtyUnitofMeasure.SelectedValue & "', '" & reasonForReturn.Text & "', '" & ActiontoBeTaken.SelectedValue & "', '" & notes.Text & "', '" & shipvia.SelectedValue & "', '" & RCIContact.Text & "', '" & contactdepartment.Text & "', '" & contactcostcenter.Text & "', '" & ContactPhoneNumber.Text & "', '" & contactfaxnumber.Text & "', '" & carriername.Text & "', '" & Date.Today() & "')"
Dim dbConn2 As New OleDbConnection(connString)
Dim Cmd2 As New OleDbCommand(SQL2, dbConn2)
dbConn2.Open()
Cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbConn2.Close()
Response.Redirect("http://rfrmsweb/Purchasing/returntovendor/returntovendor3.aspx")
End Sub
how do I place the documentnumber in my insert statement to create the number in the table?

I'm not sure i'm understanding the quesiton but if you just want to insert the var documentnumber that you've created, add it just like the textboxes were added without the .text so '" & documentnumber & "' in the values, and whatever the column is named into the column list (in respective places of course). If you were (and probably are) asking about something else, try to specify the problem a little more.

what is wrong with this statement?
Dim DOCUMENTNUMBER As VariantType = "RTV-" & Format(Date.Today, "mmddyy") & "-" & Format(RecordID, "0000")
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax is fine. What is the exact error? When is it happening? On insert? If it is on insert step through it in visual studio and see what the value of the documentnumber is. Sorry the answer is vague, I still don't know what error you're getting.

Syntax is wrong.
Please try,
Dim DOCUMENTNUMBER As String = "RTV-" & Format(Date.Today, "MMddyy") & "-" & CType(RecordID, Double).ToString("0000")

I'm trying to add sub menus to a context menu control in code (vb2005 express)(and read selection). Following code creates a vertical menu but I can't see how to add sub menues - then read selections?
I'm after somthing like:
Edit
......Cut
......Copy
......Paste
where the cut, copy and paste are extentions of the edit menu
to create:
ContextMenuStrip1.Items.Clear()
ContextMenuStrip1.Items.Add("Cut")
ContextMenuStrip1.Items.Add("Copy")
If Clipboard.ContainsText Or Clipboard.ContainsImage Then
ContextMenuStrip1.Items.Add("Paste")
End If
to read:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.ItemClicked
Dim c As Control = ContextMenuStrip1.SourceControl
Dim s As String
' Check the source control first.
s = sender.GetType.ToString()
If Not (c Is Nothing) Then
Select Case c.GetType().ToString()
Case "System.Windows.Forms.TreeView"
Select Case c.Name 'ie TreeViewInformationList
Case "TreeViewInformationList"
RightClickActionTreeViewInformationList(e)
Case "TreeViewItem"
RightClickActionTreeViewItem(e)
etc

I have come across the same problem many times before. You have to create the context menu in the Visual Studio Form Designer.

How can i get the values in textbox to class
Please help me
the code is that:
Public Class islemler
.
.
Public Sub Calculate()
degisken2 = CDbl(textbox1.Text)
.
.
.
|
|

Get the values out of the textboxes first, then pass those to your class code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(blah, blah) Handles Button1.Click
Dim x As Double = Double.Parse(TextBox1.Text)
Result = Calcuate(x)
Public Class islemler
Public Function Calculate(ByVal d As Double) As Double
... do your calculation and return the result...
End Function

Hi all
Any one knows about a good converter to convert Vb6 to Vb 2005.
Appricated if you can provide a URL to download.

There is only one and it's built right into VB.NET. All you have to do is open the old .VBP file for the conversion to launch. But, it's most definitely not perfect! There's just so many differences between VB6 and VB.NET, that the resulting code looks like something Dr. Frankenstein threw together. Your best option is to rewrite the app from scratch. But the conversion is at a least a decent starting point if you want to rewrite the app in stages.
