Hi,
im programming a tournament draw system in vb .net, which is an elimination system. i have completed all other modules in this project, now i need to make the draw. As there is an underlying points system, i need to record the byes, which do not score, and wins, which score 1 point.
so, if there are 5 entrants [a,b,c,d,e] in a particular division, the first round would be:
[a,b]
[c,d]
e
where b and c win, and e receives a bye. the second round would be:
b
[c,e]
where b now receives the bye. after this there would be 1 more round; a total of 3 rounds, 2 byes and 4 matches
how can i do this programmatically? i cant find a suitable pattern to follow or any useful info on google
has anyone made something similar? is there some keyword that i should search for?
i do realise that i havent supplied any actual code, but i dont have any to attach that would prove relevant
thanks,

Your question interested me, so I did a bit of searching. It is incredibly difficult to find a search term that gives any meaningful results, however I did find this[^].
I hope it is of some help.

Thanks for the link,
"Bayesian locally optimal design of knockout tournaments" is what i got from that article. After a bit of searching i found a report which mentioned phantom players, just adding these to fill a division up to a power of 2
thanks again

Hi,
I have created a form which I need to draw a triangle in it.
I found a block of code in internet like this:
Dim Graph As Graphics
Dim Ps() As Point
Graph = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd:=ActiveForm().Handle)
ReDim Ps(2)
Ps(0) = New Point(150, 25)
Ps(1) = New Point(150, 125)
Ps(2) = New Point(350, 125)
Graph.DrawPolygon(pen:=New Pen(Color.Black, Width:=1), points:=Ps)
it is in paint event of form,
it works when I load it by itself, but when I try to load it in a mdiParent form
the triangle doesn't show up,
can any one help me?
also I'm new to vb.net so if there is a better way to draw things please tell me
Thanks in advance

Actually I changed
Graph = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd:=ActiveForm().Handle)
to
Graph = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd:=Me.Handle)
and it works
I just need to know what ' := ' does
like
Width := 1

":=" sets parameters being passed to a method by name instead of relying on the order of parameters.
You REALLY should be doing your form painting in its Paint event instead of creating your own Graphics object.

assuming arrival method is still executing after say 40s seconds . how can i prevent the service from calling another instance pf arrival method
Public Class intestService
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Dim tDelegate As Threading.TimerCallback = AddressOf Arrival
oTimer = New System.Threading.Timer(tDelegate, Me, 10, 40)
End Sub
Public Sub Arrival(ByVal sender As Object)
'File.AppendAllText("C:\test4.txt", "AuthorLogService fires arrival at " & Now.ToString())
Try
'
Catch ex As Exception
log.WriteEntry(ex.Message, EventLogEntryType.Error)
End Try
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
End Sub
End Class
|
|
|
|
|
Dim TimerThreadIsRunning As Boolean Set it to true when you start your thread, and back to false at the end of Arrival method. Start the thread only if the boolean is false.
My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

VBA stands for Visual Basic for Applications. So, which "application" are your writing this code in??

Hi all
I am trying to create a small program in VB.Net (VS2005) that acts like a realtime application program like any antivirus program.
I want to know that how realtime program works?? How an antivirus program reports when a virus found??
I want to create a program that will report user when a usb device attached.
How can I do this? Should I create a Windows service or anything else??
Suggest me how can I do this.
Thanks.

A "realtime" application works by sitting there waiting for a message to show up in it's message pump, or waiting for a timer tick to tell it to poll for some data, or registering for a notification message, or whatever...
A service might work, but they are not supposed to be showing a user inteface. You're best bet would be to write a normal application that gets launched when the user logs in and just puts a NotifyIcon in the tray. You'd probably want to create a hidden window and override it's WndProc, looking for the WM_DEVICECHANGE message.

Hi, Does anyone know how to detect whether a key on the keyboard is being pressed outside of your application? This code seems to work for detecting the keypress as long as your focus is on the form. I think it has to do with the handles myBase.keypress. Am i correct that mybase.keypress is looking for a key being pressed inside the form? Is there something else that i could write such as system.keypress or something that could detect any time the key is pressed?
Public Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ex As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress
If keypush = False Then
keypush = True
End If
End Sub
I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, that's right. The form key events will only fire if the form has the input focus.

No, there's no such event. You'd have to use a far more advanced technique called a "global keyboard hook". Just Google for that phrase, and maybe add "VB.NET" to the end, and you'll come up with loads of examples.

Do you know the difference between vb.net and just vb? is there a difference? Thanks again for the help I really appreciate how quickly you respond.

vb (I assume you mean vb6 with that) is outdated / unsupported / and is/never was any good.
vb.net is the new version and uses the .NET framework.
(that's it in a nutshell)
|
|
|
|
|
The old VB doesn't have taht ability either. You still have to use a global keyboard hook.
|
|
|
|

The Managed Windows API has some really easy functions for Global Keyboard Hooks.

I've been using Cursor.Current to get the mouse point image but it doesn't capture alpha correctly. Is there something I can do to make it give me the alpha correctly?

I can't remember exactly, but I think the Cursor class didn't work with 32-bit cursor images with alpha. I believe this had to do with a problem in GDI+, but I could be wrong.
I think you'll have to use Win32 API functions directly to get at the complete image, though I don't know exactly how to do it. I'd probably start by looking into the GetCursor and CopyImage Win32 functions.

Copyimage doesn't seem to convert it from a cursor to a bitmap.

I have solved this. For anyone who needs help in the future with this problem, use the DrawIcon method to draw an Icon created from the handle of the cursor.

When click the check box with the device not conectted i get the error msg box and the check do not stay thare that part works good that is what i want
When click the check box with the device conectted it runs the code
and most of the time it only runs the code once i have to stop and start my program to get it working agine
If CheckBox1.Checked Then
NumericUpDown1.Value = CType(CTemp.Text, Integer) + 1
NumericUpDown2.Value = CType(CTemp.Text, Integer) - 1
and it works
But when you click to take the check out of the check box it will not run this code
Else
NumericUpDown1.Value = 0.0
NumericUpDown2.Value = 0.0
phidgetIFK.outputs(0) = False
phidgetIFK.outputs(1) = False
End If
witch it was working before i put the bChecking
This is my code for the check box
<br />
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged <br />
If bChecking Then Return <br />
bChecking = True <br />
If Status.Text = "Not Connected" Then <br />
MsgBox("interface is not connected. Connect USB cable and try agine.", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly + vbCritical, "Error") <br />
CheckBox1.Checked = False <br />
bChecking = False<br />
If CheckBox1.Checked Then <br />
NumericUpDown1.Value = CType(CTemp.Text, Integer) + 1 NumericUpDown2.Value = CType(CTemp.Text, Integer) - 1<br />
Else <br />
NumericUpDown1.Value = 0.0 <br />
NumericUpDown2.Value = 0.0 <br />
phidgetIFK.outputs(0) = False <br />
phidgetIFK.outputs(1) = False <br />
End If<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
I want to thanks everone for your help

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve but I think I see a problem with your code anyway.
* You first check bChecking, if it is not 'True', then you run the rest of the code
* Then, later on in the sub, you set CheckBox1 to checked, which I believe will then run this event again because after all, this sub runs when CheckBox1's check state changes!
* You now check bChecking again, but it is now 'True' therefore the event will exit (I think)
Maybe a better event handler would be CheckBox1.Click
