If in VB6, right click on the Forms folder, select Add, then choose MDI Form.

I heard that resource(memory) is freed automatically for you in vb.net but not vb6, so i was wondering how do you do it manually in vb6 ?

Set MyObject = Nothing

Setting an Object = Nothing does not ALWAYS free the memory in VB6 (this goes for .NET as well). Get familiar with the Objects you are using, if they implement a "Close" or "Dispose" method, ALWAYS use it before Setting your Object = Nothing.
For example, watch ADO eat up memory in a VB6 app. However, when you use the Close method, the memory usage goes way down. It takes a little while for the VB6 runtime to clean up the memory references, but it happens.

I am trying to add numbers from a listbox
Its working with vb6 but not with vb.net.
That's what I tried but it's not working
Dim sum As Integer
Dim i As Integer
sum = 0
i = 0
For i = 0 To ListBox2.Items.Count - 1
sum = sum + ListBox2.Items(ListBox2.SelectedIndex)
Next i
TextBox5.Text = sum
I would like the sum of what's inside the listbox to appear inside the textbox
Ex: 12 + 12 + 12 from the listbox and sum would be 36 in the textbox
|
|
|
|
|
I'm thinking you might want to go for
sum = sum + CInt(ListBox2.Items(ListBox2.SelectedIndex).Value)

Ooops. My bad.
What happens when you use
For i = 0 To ListBox2.Items.Count - 1
sum = sum + ListBox2.Items(ListBox2.SelectedIndex)
Next i
?

Hold on! I've only just clicked on to this DataRowView thing.
How is ListBox2 defined? A ListBox item should be of type Object. A DataRowView is an item of a DataView.
[edit]I have this question wrong. I should be asking "How is ListBox2 populated?"[/edit]

I am trying to add numbers from a listbox to to make a total in a texbox its working with vb6 but not with vb.net that what I did and it's not working
Dim sum As Integer
Dim i As Integer
sum = 0
i = 0
For i = 0 To ListBox2.Items.Count - 1
sum = sum + ListBox2.Items(ListBox2.SelectedIndex)
Next i

Try specifying the property of the object you are referencing in:
sum = sum + ListBox2.Items(ListBox2.SelectedIndex).
In VB6 each data type had a default property, and I don't think VB.NET has this so you need to indicate which property you are reading from. Is it numeric?

Hi,
I wrote a Collection Class(viz: MYCollection)
(Derived from Collection Base).
And have added methods for Add() and Remove().
I have used this Class in a Custom Control,
and exposed a Property of type MyCollection.
Now, the VS.Net IDE does show the Collection Editor
Dialog Box for the Property,but when I add items to the
collection using the Collection Editor, the changes
are not persisted. (ie: The IDE does not Generate code
for the Items added to the collection).
What is to be done to persist the Items Added using
the Collection Editor (ie: to make the VS.Net generate code for the Added Items, just like it does for ListView
Items Collection, for Example)
Someone please help me....
Thanks

As I said: I want to read the summary information out of an word file.
I got a definition page of a wordfile (v8.0) at http://www.wotsit.org.
But the offsets described in this file seems to be invalid.
Infos:
SummaryInformation -> STTBFASSOC (Table of Associated Strings)
STTBFASSOC -> offset in FIB: 410 0x019A fcSttbfAssoc long
the FIB starts at offset 0x0000
Maybe somebody had the same problem ... and fixed it? So that he can help me...
thx

I set the background picture of my main window. But I just can't get rid of it from the attribute window latter. How can I remove it? Thanks

I have never found a way to do that. You could do what I have always resorted to. Go into the Windows Forms Designer Generated Code region and remove the Form1.BackgroundPicture property. Then save and exit VS.NET. Reopen the thing and it should be gone.

After many hours of battling with others sample code and sifting through countless message board posts I believe I have managed to come up with a fairly functional and stable encryption and decryption class that utilises multiple encryption methods.
The code is shown below and a sample call would look something like
Dim Crypto As New Crypto(Crypto.Providers.DES)
Dim Encrypted as string = Crypto.Encrypt("Test String", "Keystring")
Dim Decrypted as string = Crypto.Decrypt(Encrypted , "Keystring")
‘Crypto class
Imports System.Security.Cryptography

Imports System.Text
'SymmCrypto is a wrapper of System.Security.Cryptography.SymmetricAlgorithm classes
'and simplifies the interface. It supports customized SymmetricAlgorithm as well.

'use the maximum legal keysize for each encryption algorithm

Have a look at the article "Registry handling with .NET" by S Nishant in this site (www.codeproject.com/dotnet/csregistry01.asp).
The VB.NET equivalent is virtually identical.
Imports Microsoft.Win32.Registry
Imports Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim rKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Dim rKey1 As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
rKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine
rKey1 = rKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion")
ListBox1.Items.Add("RegisteredOwner :- " + rKey1.GetValue("RegisteredOwner"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("RegisteredOrganization :- " + rKey1.GetValue("RegisteredOrganization"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("ProductName :- " + rKey1.GetValue("ProductName"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("CSDVersion :- " + rKey1.GetValue("CSDVersion"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("SystemRoot :- " + rKey1.GetValue("SystemRoot"))
rKey1.Close()
End Sub

Heya - I also had a bit of trouble with the registry. I can modify it easy enough but I can't get it to refresh without restarting the computer. Is there some way to force Windows to reload the registry without restarting? 
Thanks

How do I display an mpeg or avi file on a form? Thanks for any help.
|
|
|
|

If this is for VB6, just use the 'Windows Media Player' ActiveX. To insert it in VB, go to the menu Project->Components, then select the 'Windows Media Player', then OK.
This will add a component that you can put on your form. Then, go through the properties of this component to load your movie.
Hope this helps !
