You can look into WIA, it can be used to tell most cameras to take a pic. Or you can look at the Canon SDK and my wrapper class ( it's a CP article ), but in that case, you need to buy a camera on ebay, none of the supported cameras on the SDK version I worked with, are still commercially available.

Hi,
I am working at a project in VB.net where I have to populate a listview (detail) with names and different colors for each item (color depending on status of name)
The project is has to be a part of a program written in C#.
When I use my code in a program completly in VB.Net all works fine. I can see de wanted colors. But in the project that is part of the C# programm all I get is the color chosen in the properties of the listview.
Also the toolstripbar is in desingmode blue, but when I run the program it is the windowcolor.
Is there a setting in C# that makes that the coloring dosn't work ?
Thanks

I imagine you need to mark the box as owner drawn.

I have 2 separate project, one running as console application and the other as window application. I need to combine both project so that i can use both function. How am i suppose to do it since both are different project type? Another question i have is that the window application project is a conversion from vb6, can it still operate as normal if i have combine the 2 project as i heard there is some limitation for activeX conversion file?

What you need to do is separate out the shared functionality into a Class Library and then reference the class library project in each of the other projects.

Sorry i don't really got what u mean as i never try something like this before. Is it possible to have a more detailed explanation? Sorry to be troublesome.

What Colin described is a basic concept of development, seperation of processes. If you have no idea of this then a forum question/answer is not going to help you, it is too brief. You need to get some education in this area, get a book and work through it.

I am not sure if this is what i should do. My application is kind of confusing. I am working on a server and client kind of relationship application. My client will send a request and my server will reply. The request is related to one of my external hardware, therefore both my server and client will have to have the same hardware interface. Currently i have already established the connection between the server and the client. I need to integrate my control application of my hardware to the client and server application. So i am a bit lost at the moment and not sure if i have lost track with my concept.

So you have a design problem. I presume the console app runs on the server and the winforms is the client app. Or maybe there is functionality that is required in both.
My suggestion. Identify the functionality in the 2 apps based on their location Server, Client or Both. Build a WCF service with the Server and Both functionality and a winforms app with Client and Both.
A service is basically a set of classes so seperate the Both functionality into it's own class so it can be included in the Client app as well as the service.
And yes I suggest you rewrite the entire solution as your current apps sound like crap and using a converted VB6 app is asking for trouble (this is why I know your solution is crap).

AFAIK Windows is not capable of having a single EXE that runs as a console app under some circumstances and as a Windows app under other (such as the presence/absence of a command line switch). It seems MS made a rather unfortunate fundamental decision to that effect long time ago.

Well, that's half true...
A windows application can also have a console and work as both, but you can't optionally open the console so that a program can work as either.
(Every Windows probram is actually also a MS-DOS program. If you start it from a system that doesn't have Windows installed, it runs as a MS-DOS programs that simply displays a message that the program needs Windows to run.)

Both a console application and a windows application does accept a command line.

So can i assume what u trying to say is that i can have my project as window application and console application. But just that if i set my project as window application i wont be able to see my command line? But my command line is running in the background?

A command line is not the same as a console.
A command line is a string that is sent to the application when it starts. If you start an application from a console window, you type the command line after the application name, but if you start the application another way you specify the command line in some other way.
If you for example start the application by dropping a file on the application file in the explorer, the command line will be the path of the dropped file.

AFAIK current tools (.NET or otherwise) generate EXE files according to the PE file format, which has a "console" bit somewhere, which is either set, so you are bound to get a console,
or it is not set, so you can not interact with it unless you come up with some user interface.
As a result you have to have two EXEs where one could otherwise be sufficient.
As an example: WinZip.exe is a GUI based zipper, there is an optional wzzip.exe that offers similar
zipper functionality from the console. How silly.

Ok, i think i got what u mean. So if i change all the things appearing in the console to a label it might work this way right? Because to me i do not need to touch anything on the console and it is like a log file to me. But i do need to retrieve request that made from my client which is display on the console.I not sure if u got me as i know is a contradicting explanation.

hello,
i want to make a program that wil make it LOTS of easyer for adminstrators of an Counter-Strike: Source server to send rcon commands.
what i want to know is, Is there a possability to do so in VB.NET ?
and where to begin? i really like to make this program as soon as possible.
So we could use it as administrators on the servers ...
it will need to have a ip adress input, rcon password input, server port input
and more options like loggin whats going on, on the server.
command sending to a server ofcourse!
thank if someone could help me plzz

I assume a network stream would work fine here, although I don't know for sure. good idea though, when you finish the project make an article or something if you can..

thanks mate, if i am done i will post it as an tutorial for others... its in VB.net

Sounds like you need more than a forums resource is going to give you. Do you want someone to write this for you or are you expecting to pick up and Express version and create the program from scratch yourself.
Try rentacoder for the writing and you will need a lot more knowledge to begin creating it yourself, try a book(s) or simple examples first.

I don't know about that, some applications like that already exist I'm sure it wouldn't be too too difficult....

Possibly but I think you have the wrong forum for the request, that was my point, CP will help you learn how to develop the code, I will be surprised if anyone here will write it for you.
