Hi,
I am recently using SQL for a project of my own. I came across this post and thought I might be able to offer some input. For example, in my team group is creating a database.
There is a way to insert multiple rows into a table in SQL without having to insert them individually. You could formulate the data to be inserted as select statements for multiple list row entries, but I believe for this to be accomplished you may have to do two stages:
1)Put the data into a temporary table
2)Insert from that table.

Hi,
Does it has a tool to know the memory occupied by a form in a VB application?
Thanks,
Claude

Various companies supply memory-profilers, or, one could use the CLR Profiler[^] from Microsoft.
You could also ask the Marshal.SizeOf[^] the form. Take in account that embedded objects (such as a Font) might exist once, and not use memory on each property-slot (only the size of a long for a pointer)

An utterly pointless question as you haven't specified which aspect of the forum you're talking about.
Are you referring to the memory required to serial the data content of the form?
Serialize the Form itself, just the controls or controls and content)?
How much memory the code behind the Form is taking as the code runs?
...??

Then you'll need a memory profiler, as Eddie linked to.

I am trying to write a simple WPF application in VB using Vs2010 and SQLExpress 2012, although i am not using any databinding.
The problem is that although i have found lots of examples of how to write code to read data from the database, some of it seems very complex and others real simple.
Now i want to update my DB and add (transaction log) records to it, i cannot find an example that works with my current setup. It can't be that difficult can it?
Class MainWindow
Dim dataEntities As MaxGateEntities = New MaxGateEntities
Dim passno As String
Dim passcnt As Integer
Dim inout As String
Private Sub Enter_Button_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
Dim Passes As ObjectQuery(Of Pass) = dataEntities.Passes
Dim PassTransactions As ObjectQuery(Of Transaction) = dataEntities.Transactions
passno = Me.PassNumber.Text
Dim passQry = From pass In Passes Where pass.PassID = passno Select pass.InOut
passcnt = passQry.Count
For Each item In passQry
inout = item.ToString
Next
End Sub
End Class

Depends on what you consider to be difficult. There are examples on MSDN that use adapters, but most of the time you'll see UPDATE or INSERT statements. The example for LINQ can be found here[^].

Eddy,
I have seen that page, but the examples have this line?
Dim db As New Northwnd("…\Northwnd.mdf")
and i don't have one of those. I added a data source using ADO entities and included the appropriate statement as in my code.

That's a wizard that generates code, and I have not worked with the ADO.NET Entities; the documentation is not very helpful either. That's the reason why I'm still using old-fashioned Sql and simple IDbCommands.
I found an example that matches your code here[^], but I haven't succeeded yet in creating a simple console-application that performs an insert.

I'm a novice programmer. I am having problem in connecting a printer "DATECS DPP-250" in my code. I tried to add "PrintDriver.dll"
but it output's like there is some kind of error that THE memory is being corrupted. I've searched a lot forums but still I can't solve it. Please I really need all of your help.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM:

What exactly do you mean by "connecting a printer"??
What version of Windows are you running this app on? 32 or 64 bit? Is your app compiled to target AnyCPU, or x86 or x64?? What bitness is the library you're using?
|
|
|
|
|
I mean it's opening port so my code can pass through.
My problem when it goes through this statement, It says that the memory is corrupt because of the "PrintDriver.dll."
___________________________________________________________
If printer__1.OpenPrinter() < 0 Then
Throw New ApplicationException("Failed to open connection with printer.")

Im using 32bit and x86 compilation. Please,If you have an email, I can pass it to you about my program because I can't explain briefly here. So you can see what I mean sir.

You don't need my email.
You also need to contact whoever wrote that .DLL you're using. I've never used it and never heard of it. You've got a specific problem with a third party product. You're best source of information on that problem is whoever wrote the product.

I see sir..You've got a point. Thank you for your advice sir Dave..

How is that PrintDriver.dll used - are there COM objects, or do you need DllImport/Declare statements? In the latter case, I'd say that the Marshalling of some types was not correct.

Hi,
I am accessing App.Major App.Minor in my VB6 application. And my O.S is Windows 7. When i am running this application from "administrator" user application is working fine and these variables are getting accessed. However, when logging to local limited rights user we are getting the error:
Run –time error “326”, Resource with identifier “VERSION” not found”.
So kindly suggest what should we need to do on our Win 7 systems to fix this?
Regards,
Dipesh

It's not the Win7 system that is "broken", but your programming platform. VB6-support is non-existing.
If you wanna use a modern OS, then the best idea is to do so using a modern language.

Locate the executable in Windows Explorer, open the Properties window, then the Compatibilty tab. There, select an appropriate version in the "Run with compatibilty mode" combobox. Do not forget the "Change for all users" button.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. It did half of the work. After doing these settings i was able to execute my application from normal user account. But as soon as i log into "administrator" user and then try to log back to normal user the error again occurs. That is the problem re occurs after switching to administrator and back. The settings were there but it just stopped working! And even if i redo these settings the problem persists. So, can you suggest some other settings.

Hi All,
I finally got solution of this issue myself. My application was having a code where I was impersonating a admin user and then doing some stuff. On debugging more i found that my application was not running beyond the point where i was passing token of impersonation to next command. Then i changed the security policy of my Win 7 system and added my user in following security policy "create token" something.. and this resolved my issue. 
Hope it will be useful for somebody.

I have following problem in my VB6 project:
I have an array of 44 bytes, aTZI(), which is a result of WMI objRegistry.GetBinaryValue call.
I also have defined a user types and a variable:
Public Type SYSTEMTIME
wYear As Integer
wMonth As Integer
wDayOfWeek As Integer
wDay As Integer
wHour As Integer
wMinute As Integer
wSecond As Integer
wMilliseconds As Integer
End Type
Public Type TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION
Bias As Long
StandardName(0 To 63) As Byte
StandardDate As SYSTEMTIME
StandardBias As Long
DaylightName(0 To 63) As Byte
DaylightDate As SYSTEMTIME
DaylightBias As Long
End Type
Public zoneTZI As TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION
How can I get aTZI into zoneTZI, so that I can read each element of the TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION?
Whatever I try to do gets me an error "Only user-defined in public object modues can be coerced to or from a variant pr passed to late-bound functions"
Every suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Use .NET to implement the functionality, and call it from your VB6 application.
It's not recommended to write new functionality in a deprecated language; as you already found out, support is growing thinner and will eventually disappear. You can use the VB6 Interop Toolkit to slowly migrate parts of your code to the new platform.

Hello all , i'm learining VB.NET and have some questions. will you please helping me by answer them. 1- what the syntax can be used to query Entity framwork collections? is it Lambda function or LINQ expressions. 2- which vb concept is used to add extra methods that can applied to a class without use of inheritance? is it Anonymous classes or implicit typing or Nullable types or Extension methods.3- in ASP.NET ther is data-access layer created how to write a method that returns several objects to used in UI layer.
I apprecitate any help
Thank you so much and best regards

Smells like homework, since the answers are included in the question. The value of the question is in your research, not the correct answers; the idea is that you'd spend time on researching each of the unknowns in the question and get exposed to new knowledge.
khalid333 wrote: 1- what the syntax can be used to query Entity framwork collections? is it Lambda function or LINQ expressions.
After Googeling for "syntax ef framework", I'd vote for a LINQ expression.
khalid333 wrote: 2- which vb concept is used to add extra methods that can applied to a class without use of inheritance? is it Anonymous classes or implicit typing or Nullable types or Extension methods.
Extension methods.
Again, the answer is a bit useless - the idea is that you learn to differentiate between those items (and get to know them) so you can answer the question once your confronted with it during work: should you use an Nullable Type? Implicit Typing? What should you code when a coworker says that you'll need an "extension method"?
khalid333 wrote: <layer>.3- in ASP.NET ther is data-access layer created how to write a method that returns several objects to used in UI layer.
Same way as we pass EventArgs; you'd create a base-class that encapsulates the result-objects and return that. If you'd rather use a struct, that's possible too - but then I'd additionally recommend to make it a immutable struct.
