By default, the compiler will "optimize" your structure by re-ordering its fields. Because of this, you'll need to define that your structure's fields be layed out sequentially in memory. You can do this via the StructLayout attribute as follows.
<System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayout(Runtime.InteropServices.LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
Public Structure SAFEARRAYBOUND
Dim cElements As Integer
Dim lLbound As Integer
End Structure
I've found an article on this website explaining how to do a CopyMemory call in VB.NET. It also goes over .NET marshalling too. Perhaps this will help you?

that too i have done and also gone through the article.....but major problem is that i could not be able to convert this sequential structure into 2 dimensional array.......basically i need to covert this structure into 2 dimensional array which gives pixel information......and later on i will convert it into one dimensional long array.....thats wht my purpose....

How is your 2 dimensional array defined?
How will it be used?

Public Function LongPixels() As Long()
'_____________________________________________________
'
' Purpose: converts the 2-dimensional 3/4 Byte DIB into a one-
' dimensional Long array, for easy summing of long int values.
' scans from left to right, then bottom to top.
' diblongarray(0) = lower left pixel.
' diblongarray(ubound) = upper right pixel.
' Assumptions: the DIB is 24-bit, the byte order of the pixels is
' r-g-b (not the common b-g-r)
' Affects:
' Inputs:

'_____________________________________________________
Dim bDibMag() As Byte '2 dimensional byte array holds pixels by row,col
Dim lX As Long, lY As Long 'x = pixel col, y = pixel row
Dim saDibMag As SAFEARRAY2D
Dim lXEnd As Long
Dim l As Long
Dim lCol As Long
On Error GoTo Cleanup
'structure the 2-dimensional safearray
With saDibMag
.cbElements = 1 'bytes to an element
.cDims = 2 'dimensions
.Bounds(0).lLbound = 0 'lbound of 1st dim

Cleanup:
Erase saDibMag.Bounds
Erase lColor
Erase bDibMag
If err.Number <> 0 Then WriteLog "MAGRAS ERROR In Procedure LongPixels, #" _
& err.Number & ": " & err.Description
err.Clear
End Function
this is the VB function which i need to convert to VB.NET...this is the way i have defined the two dimensional array in VB.NET project..
Dim bDibMag(,) As Long '2 dimensional byte array holds pixels by row,col
Thanks again for taking interest in this problem..

After looking at your code, the only reason MoveMemory() is called is for performance reasons. Maybe in VB6 this was faster, but in VB.NET I doubt it. The reason is because a call to MoveMemory() is a call to unmanaged code, requiring a P/Invoke, which is a performance hit in .NET. I suggest that you make it easy on yourself, remove all of the MoveMemory() calls, and just iterate through the 2d array and directly copy the color values into your 1d array. You can look into boosting performance after you get it working.
Also, there appears to be a lot of legacy VB6 calls in your VB.NET code. You may just want to rewrite the whole thing.
You should replace your "On Error Goto" with Try/Catch.
You should replace "DoEvents" with "Application.DoEvents()".
Do a "Return lColors" instead of "LongPixels = lColors", and perhaps return an empty array on error.

Yeah I totally agree with you. Eventhough I have started to thinking to discard all the MoveMemory call. But as you have told just iterate through the 2d array and directly copy the color values into 1stD array. Yeah so for that the question is that..How can i get the 2D array from the structure. I mean once I get the 2D array I can easily convert it into the 1D array.
And Yeah whatever changes you have mentioned I have already made on my new .NET Code.
I appriciate If you can solve this too.
Thanks

This is definitely tricky.
My guess is that pointer "lPtrDibMag" points to a BITMAPINFO[^] structure. This structure is defined like this...
typedef struct tagBITMAPINFO {
BITMAPINFOHEADER bmiHeader;
RGBQUAD bmiColors[1];
} BITMAPINFO;
The second field has the array of colors you need. The trick is accessing this info with pointer "lPtrDibMag". I believe you can access it like this.
Dim pbmi As BITMAPINFO<br />
pbmi = CType(Marshal.PtrToStructure(lPtrDibMag, GetType(BITMAPINFO)), BITMAPINFO)
I also found this[^] post in the C# forums which could help.

As we all know, creating a printdocument can be murder in VB.NET... however i've come to understand it.
Most of the simple reports and letters I can write the programming for with no problem. My company is now asking me if it is possible to add a collection of PDF files to the program in order to create templates for some of these reports, and have the program fill in a few fields where necessary.
How do I load a PDF into a printdocument?  The research I've done so far is leading me down the path of looping though the PDF converting each page into an image while looping throught the printdocument and setting each page to that image... Any sample code would be appreciated. From there I can figure out the rest.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello,
I created a windows service in VS 2005 and installer exactly according to the instructions Here
However, the service does not appear in my list of services. Has anyone ran into this? Is there a way I can start the service w/o seeing it in the list? Command line, etc?
Thanks!

Try checking the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services to see if it is listed, this is where all the registered services are listed
Did you have the services mmc open when installing, this can stop it working
you can start services using - net start SERVICENAME at the command line

Hi all,
I am creating a password login form but everytime I run the program, the first form that is loaded is not the login form but rather another form.
How can I firstly load the login form and wait for the correct password before I load any other form?
Thank you very much.
|
|
|
|
|
If this is VB.NEt select the PROJECT in the SOLUTION explorer and select properties.
Change the startup object in here to the form you require.
You then check the password and do
Dim oFrm as new form1
oFrm.Show
me.hide
If this is VB6 select the PROJECT in the PROJECT explorer and select properties.
Change the startup object in here to the form you require.
You then check the password and call
form1.Show
Unload me

Hi guyz.Can someone pliz give me a clue on how i can convert a report int a PDF file and save it in VB 6.0.I'm kindah stuck with my project and it's really getting on my nerves 
Also I have have a form that one is supposed to fill in some data then
on a click of a button a report is created reflecting what is on the form currently,i.e the program should create reports at runtime
I tried the usual way by using data environment connecting to data reports but that only creates reports based on the data on the database(old data)and not the current data (data on the form when at runtime)
Your responsibility determines your authority which in turn specifies your teritory

Hi,
Can u specify whether u r updating ur database after filling the form?
I think u need to refresh ur database/report before showing at runtime.
Thanx & Regards.

I have a method that instantiates the PrintPreviewDialog class inside of a class where I inherited the PrintDocument class. When executing this print preview method I would like to override the default title bar information displayed by the print preview dialog ("Print preview") before showing the preview dialog.. An example of the code I am using the display the preview dialog is shown below. Unfortunately I do not see a text property exposed by the PrintPreviewDialog. Can anyone provide any insight on how I may be able to override the default PrintPreviewDialog title text?
Try
Dim PD As New PrintPreviewDialog()
With PD
.Document = Me ' Me is the PrintDocument object
.PrintPreviewControl.Zoom = 1.0
.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
.ShowIcon = False
.ShowDialog()
End With
Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try
|
|
|
|
|
This is interesting, at least to me. Even though I can not see the Text or Icon properties of the PrintPreviewDialog object in intellisense, I can still get and set those properties through code. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but since that easily resolves my issue I am now a happy camper.

Is this a key logger? Come on, own up. We know your sort. lol
Although saying that, it wouldn't make as much sense to write it in .net if you want to install and run behind the scenes as you would have to install the framework to most PCs.
Just not helpful is it that, sorry.

Call HookKeyboard() in the form_Load event
Then in the KeyboardCallback event you need to write the value from the lParam.VKKeycode to a file as the actual character and not code.
Was that the problem?
