Hi,
in the simplest case, you have one main form, visible all the time;
and a series of dialog windows, which are forms you show with ShowDialog(),
which means as long as a dialog is visible, the form cant get focus; so you must
close the dialog, before you can continue using the main form. That does not require
any special programming, except for the ShowDialog() instead of Show().

Afternoon all
I have a while loop that is constantly receiving data at 4 times a second. Right now I convert the data and store it as a sorted list. I have to save the first data set in order to compare it to the next incoming data set and record only the key/value pairs that changed. After the comparison the most recent data has to be stored for comparison to the next data and so on and so on. Any suggestions on how i might go about doing this
Thanks in advance

As the lists are sorted, it's very easy to compare them. Here's some pseudo code:
input: listA, listB
indexA = 0
indexB = 0
while indexA inside listA or indexB inside listB
begin
if indexA outside listA
changed: listB(indexB)
indexB++
else if indexB outside listB
changed: listA(indexA)
indexA++
else if listA(indexA) < listB(indexB)
changed: listA(indexA)
indexA++
else if listB(indexB) < listA(indexA)
changed: listB(indexB)
indexB++
else
indexA++
indexB++
end

Thanks for the response
I dont really need to know how it changes just that the value changed so I was doing:
Public Sub compareit(ByVal statusList As SortedList)
Dim statusChanges As New SortedList
For listIndex = 0 To statusList.count -1
If statusList(listIndex) <> lastFrameList(listIndex) Then
statusChanges.Add(sataList.GetKey(listIndex),statusList,GetByIndex(listIndex)
End If
...here is need to save the most current statusList to be compared the next time a frame is received
Next
lastFrameList = statusList
End Sub
statusChanges should contain all the key/value pairs that changed from the previous frame
How do I initialize lastFramelist when this routine is called for the first time since there is no previous frame.
THanks again

That blows up if lastFrameList is shorter than statusList.

If you compare them like that, you will also get a lot of items that aren't changed. If you for example add an item first in the list, statusChanges will contain all the items in the list, as the items that do match no longer have the same index.

Just create an empty list.

Hello All,
Thank you for reading this post. Iam trying to build a single sign on, so that other applications in my company can be reached by just logging once. Here is how it is:
1. Lets say the site i build is called abc.com
2. I want the user to logon to abc.com, all my user info is in a SQL Server database
3.Once login is determined successful, we go to a welcome page in abc.com... From abc.com, there is a link called link1.abc.com which is a different application... here i dont want the application to ask for logon credentials again, it should give access to the user because user was validated in abc.com
4. Expanding this...how to I provide this service if i have more that 3 applications...???
My company cannot afford LDAP...all we have is a good SQL Server database, .NET 2005...what is the quickest and best way to acheive single sign on ??? Is there a free third party tool/ open source available?
Sample code, articles explaining things are very very welcome !!
Thank you
RH

Hi,
On the root add a config file with the following:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MyAppFormName"
="" loginurl="login.aspx" defaulturl="Apps/welcomepage.aspx" cookieless="AutoDetect">
/authentication
authorization
allow users="*" /
/authorization
in the protected areas (e.g. Apps) add a web.config file with the following:
authorization
deny users="?" /
/authorization
In the login form:
Check your SQL database...
IF it's OK - > FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUsername.Text, False)
Hope this helps

I have a device on my COM port. I need to send a string to it. What is the best way to do this? Do you have to know the port it will reside on?

Exactly what you do depends on the version of VB you're using.
Cory Kimble wrote: Do you have to know the port it will reside on?
Yes. Without it, you don't know what your sending data to.

I have vb .net 2003. I want to send and receive stings and packets through Com port.

The .NET Framework 1.1 does not come with a Serial Port class. That showed up in .NET 2.0.
Google for "vb.net 2003 serial port class[^]". There's a smattering of custom written Serial Port classes out there, but each one is different in how you use it.
|

|

If you want to use a serial port in .NET I strongly advice you to switch to .NET 2.0;
you would need the FrameWork itself, then an IDE (Visual Studio Express Editions
are free); both can be downloaded and installed in the matter of say 2 hours.
After that, you read up on the SerialPort class (there are some nice articles on CP about it),
choose a port (say "COM2") and you can start debugging...

I already told you here[^]. Noone is just going to hand over the code to you. You have to write it yourself. When you get stuck with a problem with your code, then you asks specific questions about it.
To start, a little Google goes a long way. Results for "vb6 simulate mouse clicks[^]".

Nope. Will hand an invoice that he couldn't pay with the kind of money from his area. I wouldn't even accept their currency

You were a "stand-up philosopher" in a previous life, weren't you? I like it!

I keep getting the occasional flashbacks to that previous life, too

Reasking a question in which you have already gotten the answer is bad. Telling people to hand over their code (even if you say please) is bad. Now go to the corner and read the forum guidelines.

Oh please, this is getting old. I'll hand him over code, but I will hand an invoice along with it.

I have a button, and once clicked, want it to open (and display) a pdf document. How do I go about this? Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need a 3rd party control to load and display the PDF. Visual Basic doesn't come with anything that can do it. Google for one here[^].

Thanks Dave. Any recommendations? (ie, have you used one ever?)
|
|
|
|

Nope. I haven't had to do anything with PDF's.
