Re: Exit Code From VB application

It is possible do this by setting the App Startup to Main startup, instead of a form. You can do this in the Project Properties. But, you must add a class to the project and add a main function something like this:

Function Main() as Integer

The this main must start the first form in your program, if you have one.
You can use the help in Visual Studio or on MSDN and search for "Structure of a Visual Basic Program" to find an example.

Thanks I read this and picked up alot.
It works though if anyone is curious the VS.IDE debugger always
returns a 0 in that window. I had to use the windows scheduler
to see the return code.

It sounds like you're starting brand new to VB.NET, yes?

If so, you may want to review the QuickStart tutorials for WinForms. It's a good place to start.
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/winforms/[^]

If you're looking for socket-type programming, the .NET Framework contains classes in the System.Net namespace that you can investigate. If you're looking to create a Client/Server database application, you may be fine with the ADO.NET support in the Framework. The QuickStart tutorials introduces ADO.NET.

Would something like this work? (Assuming a control on the form called ListView1)

Private Sub ListView1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
              Handles ListView1.DoubleClick

    '-- get the item selected following the double-click
    Dim sel As ListViewItem
    sel = ListView1.SelectedItems(0)

    '-- display the selected item text
    If Not (sel Is Nothing) Then
        MessageBox.Show(sel.Text)
    End If
End Sub

connecting to access project

Hi,
I'm relatively new to vb .net. Right now I'm working on a project where actual database is in SQL Server. But the "Access Project" file has been created to connect to SQL Server database.
I can not connect to SQL Server directly, basically no one has access to SQL Server directly. So if we need to access it we have to go thru the access project that have been created.
I'm using vb .net to create an application that involves this database, but I dont know how can I connect to "access project" file to access SQL Server database using vb .net???
Is it at all possible? can u guys help me with this?

I'm trying to automate some tasks using VB/VBA. I would like to do something similar along the lines of the article found here:

http://www.codeproject.com/tools/VssReporter.asp

More specifically, I would like the click a 'Browse' button within a Word document that would have a VSS explorer (or something like that) window come up. I am able to access the basic ssapi.dll methods, but am lost beyond the basics. Any help would be much appreciated. Smile | :)

Drag And Drop

NightCreature20-Jan-04 23:59

I have a little application I've been developing, and it moves a set of controls around a panel using drag and drop. If the panel is set with AutoScroll as enabled, the controls can be dragged out of the default visible area. However, when the control is dragged back slightly closer to the default area, it leaps suddenly and the scroll bars vanish (when there are no other controls, otherwise they stay, but all the other controls outside of the default area fly past as the control 'leaps' to the default area.

Has anyone heard of this / encountered this? Most oblidged! Confused | :confused:

Even though I have administrator rights under a particular domain, I'm not able to register any dlls which are necessary for running a web-site. But I am able todo the same using a local admin username & password. why is it so? how can I rectify it.

Dave Kreskowiak21-Jan-04 6:30

That is because the account your using has admin rights to the website, NOT the server it's running on. You need at least Power User privileges to install software on the server, this includes registering controls and .DLL's.

What your looking for is in this[^] post. Or, if your using VB.NET, you can use Process.Start and Process.StartInfo to do the same thing. Docs on that can be found here[^].

How to Free a USB port on VB.NET

If there isn't a function to Close/Release/Free the port, then your going to have to contact the manufacturer and find out why and what should be done. Another possibility is searching for any sample code, either in the docs for the SDK or on the web, that shows what should be used. But, as with any SDK, what the procedures are and what function names are used depends ENTIRELY on the SDK and the device your using.
