Hi,
the SerialPort class is what you need to communicate with your device over RS232C.
The communication will use whatever format the designers of your device have chosen.
Sending data is the easy part, receiving it is more difficutl as it will arrive asynchronously, which means it gets in in bursts that don't necessarily follow the borders of your messages, and it will be received on a separate thread, so you will need Control.InvokeRequired/Control.Invoke pattern.
IMO If you are new to programming, this would not be a good idea for a first project.

As Luc mentioned above, the .NET SerialPort class is what you want to use. Depending on how your device is sending data, you may be able to use the various Read methods (Read, ReadLine, ReadTo, ReadByte). I would suggest reading the MSDN documentation[^]. The bottom of the main Serial Port page has a sample app in C#, and below that is a link to "Serial Port members". This will list all the functions and properties available to you. Each function has VB and C# examples that should help get you started.

dear frenz,
i hav a grt problem here.
i am working on a windows application where i need to open a form2.vb to search records, which should be displayed on form1.vb.
the problem is dat i hav to use 2 data sets in order to navigate among the searched records.
how do i design my application so that without using multiple data sets, i can search records in 1 form/window and the results r displayed in anoder window.?
this is wat i want to accomplish:
1. form1.vb has various textboxes and other controls to display record fields.
2. when click on "search" button on form1.vb, a new window/form ie. search.vb opens up.
3. user enters search criteria on search.vb and cliks on the "find" button.
4. after find button is cliked, the "search.vb" form closes and the searched records are displayed on form1.
problem1: the problem lies ind fact dat wen the searched records are displayed on the form1.vb, cliking on the navigation buttons lyk first, next etc. displays the original complete database records, nd not the searched records. The only solution obtained till now is using 2 datasets, wich i want to avoid
problem2: on wat event of form1 or search.vb should i code the query for searching?
i'll be happy to expand on the problem in case this seems insufficient.

Try to clear the dataset and load the new searched records and after your work completed load all the records.
3. user enters search criteria on search.vb and cliks on the "find" button.
Your task itself has answer for the problem2:
Include the search code in the button(find) click event of search.vb
Hope i answered the question

see, if i work on a single page then the searched records get loaded on to the same dataset and i can easily navigate b/w them. to ghat i code on this button, doeso bak to the original dataset, i hav to press a VIEW ALL button.
but the problem is dat wen im using a seperate page to search records and even if i code on the FIND button, then the query that i code on this button, does not get returned to the "form1.vb" page.
This is wat i hav already tried:
1. i declare a string on SEARCH.vb page :
Line1:- Public srch_query As String
2. then i phrase the query according to the parameters defined by the user:
Line2:- srch_query="select * from emp where ......."
3. now to check whether a criteria has been searched, i do the following:
Line3:- Dim Query As String = Search.srch_query
Line4:- cmd=new sqlcommand(query,cn)
followed by rest of the code.
But the problem is that whenever Search.srch_query is called in Line3, it only checks the value from Line1 ie declaration part, and does not even go to the Line2, and so throughout the session, the value of query = " ".
what i mean to ask dat wat should i do so that the value of the query is returned and not the initial declaration where srch_query = " ".
after this, the query string is treated as a blank and the records do not get searched.

Create an object for the form1 in form 2 and call the same dataset from form2 to load the record onto the same dataset
dim frm as new form1
da.fill(frm.ds)
I have tried and working fine in single dataset

We have a Windows Service developed in VB.NET and using .Net 2.0 framework running on Windows server 2003 sp2.
Basically, our service uses serial port objects, some IO logging to text file and of course database calls. We also have a ping logic that pings like about 50 machines in a loop
within a timer. The timer that I use is of System.Timers.Timer type.
This service crashes about once a day. We get the following description for ".Net 2.0 Runtime error,event ID 1000" on the Event Viewer:
Faulting application readerservice.exe, version 1.0.0.0, stamp 49de72c5, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.1433, stamp 471eb5ae, debug? 0, fault address 0x000150d8.
We logged the unhandled exception and this is what we found just before the application crashed.
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.ExecuteCodeWithGuaranteedCleanup(TryCode code, CleanupCode backoutCode, Object userData)
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
at System.Threading._TimerCallback.PerformTimerCallback(Object state)
Any help on this would be deeply appreciated.

I forgot to mention that our servive is running on VM Ware on Windows server 2003 sp2.I am not sure that this is of importance but wanted to mention.

Hi,
looks like your timer's Elapsed handler is throwing an exception which you did not catch.
I would:
- add one overall try-catch catching the Exception and showing all of its information (ToString!)
- run the debug version of it
- shorten the interval to get it sooner and/or more frequently
then watch the line numbers mentioned in the exception.
Most likely cause is something is failing because you don't have the necessary privileges, and/or some service is temporarily out of order and your code isn't coping with that.

I want to get the field of HTML into the database
i am using a script which checks the active url in the current IE window and out of that i can praise the one i want to my database.
after a search i am able to do the following and got the active url from the internet explorer using the below script
Dim shellWins As SHDocVw.ShellWindows
Dim explorer As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
shellWins = New SHDocVw.ShellWindows
For Each explorer In shellWins
Debug.Print(explorer.LocationName)
Debug.Print(explorer.LocationURL)
Me.Label1.Text = explorer.LocationName
Me.Label2.Text = explorer.LocationURL
MsgBox(Me.Label1.Text & "-" & Me.Label2.Text)
If Me.Label1.Text = "Services Network" Then
Me.Label1.Text = explorer.LocationName
Me.Label2.Text = explorer.LocationURL
MsgBox(Me.Label1.Text & "-" & Me.Label2.Text)
' Now here i want to extract the url source code and then search for various content in that
just like parsing the HTML
End If
Next
shellWins = Nothing
explorer = Nothing
kindly if any example available for getting content from HTML

I have a MDI form that contains only maximized child forms. I need to size the MDI parent in the way that the client area of the active MDI child has a certain size (imagine that the child form renders a picture, and we don't want to have margin around the picture). What's the best way to calculate the size of the MDI parent based on the desired size of the MDI child? Thanks.

Problem:
I need write app which will be placed at top of desktop and will lay all time when user works at pc,
other Apps should not repaint my app, user have to see data at my form,
or say it using other words,
other apps shoud forget about location which is used by my app,
so when my app is running and for example notepad.exe is running
and I pressed maximize for notepad,
it should be miximized at height == (Desktop.Height - myApp.Height)
and location of notepad will be set to Point(0, myApp.Height)
I set topmost to true and hide captions\title and other controll button but of course
it does not allow.
So question: how to implement it?
