They also got a webservice[^], wouldn't that be easier to interface with?I are Troll

Sorry Eddie,
but I'm trying to program some interaction with webpages, not trying to buy an excel datasheet.
My program needs now and then some distance calculations, and I'm not using it professionally.
Further more, I cannot find an option to program interaction with the webservices. They just offer some data for sale.
Still need help to communicate with e.g. the forementioned website, but others as well.
I think I can adapt the eventuel solution to other sites probably, so I'll stick to my help request as it is for now.
Kind regards,
Onno

Google for "vb.net web page scraping".

Once you push the button on the page, it'll load a new page, based on the URL. You'd have to build this URL from code, transferring the correct parameters. As an example, by changing "gouda" to "amsterdam[^]" in the URL, you'll get a different result.
Once you have that, you can fetch[^] the results. Last, you'd need to parse the results, cutting out those parts of the data that you're interested in.
You might want to search for "web scraper vb.net" to get some examples.I are Troll

BTW the change you suggested did give other text-output on the screen, but the calculated route was not affected. That seems to depend on the previously determined coordinates by the first button press. But I might filter those out of a stream that I get as you indicated.
Thanx a lot for helping me going again!

I am trying to design a pop-up notification in VB. For example i have an expiring date for some items and wants to notify the user about item that are about expiring and the number of days left. I am using VB and Microsoft SQL Server. ANy help?????

I can't see the problem here. You either need to design your own form and populate it, or you need to use a Message Box like this MsgBox(String.Format("{0} will expire on th {1}",Product.Name,Product.ExpiryDate). I am not sure what you really need to do.

What have you tried so far?
Sounds an easy enough task, but if you are stuck getting the code to work, post a relevant code snippet describing the problem and I'm sure we can help you out.

Hi all...
I am creating a project to monitor files of USB disk each time when it is inserted.
When a USB disk is inserted, a thread starts and checks all executable files in usb disk. when user run any executable in usb disk then thread immediately stops its execution. The code is working properly but it slow down the system.
The code is below :
Private Sub StartMonitoring()
Dim MonitorList As New List(Of String)
For Each drive As DriveInfo In System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives
If drive.DriveType = DriveType.Removable And drive.Name <> "A:\" Then
DriveName = drive
End If
Next
For Each file As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(DriveName.Name,FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories)
If IO.Path.GetExtension(File) = ".exe" Then
MonitorList.Add(File)
End If
Next
Do While Not memThd Is Nothing 'memThd is thread which is started to monitor.
Try
For Each prcName As String In MonitorList
For Each prc As Process In Process.GetProcesses
If IO.Path.GetFileName(prcName) = prc.ProcessName & ".exe" Then
prc.Kill()
catch ex as exception
msgbox(ex.message)
End Try
Loop
End Sub
The code is working perfectly but it slow down the system.
Suggest me some way to maintain system speed while running this thread or some other way to write the above code.
Thanks

I must say that if drive is A your code will not work, as you don't set DriveName but use the variable.
Also... what's the purpose of this? Kill any process started from the pen-drive? Are you trying to avoid viruses this way?
But, about the fact it is slow, any non-stopping code makes the computer slow. You can try to set the thread priority to Idle... this could help.

I have already checked if drv.DriveName<>"A:" then starting the thread.

I set the prority of threat to 0 (i.e. lowest priority) but it has no effect.
Suggest me some other ways.
Thanks.

It slows down the entire system because your code is horribly inefficient.
Did you notice that you're calling Process.GetProcesses (kind of expensive) each and every time you look at a new item in the MonitorList?
You're also consuming 100% of the CPU since your loops doesn't yield at all.
You also have the problem of killing off a legit process running off the hard drive with the same name as one stored on the stick.
Killing off a process rather abruptly opens the system up for data corruption and system instability if the app doesn't get the chance to close gracefully.
Your have two "fixes" for the performance problem. First, switch your loops so your only getting the Process list once per pass. Second, put in a Thread.Sleep (with an appropriate value) to put this thread to sleep for a second or two before it goes for another pass.
Look, you really can't stop someone from running applications off of a USB stick like this. There is a group policy that can stop this without you constantly killing the CPU to do it. It's also quite easy to kill off your process and launch an app anyway.

I created a list of all running processes and stored it in ProcessList.
Now I am comparing the executable file stored in MonitorList with process name stored in Process List.

I put this thread to sleep for 1 second as memThd.sleep(1000) after one iteration.
But it does not speeds up my system.
Suggest me some other ways.
Thanks.

I have no idea what you're app is doing to tie up the CPU so badly. If you rewrote the code, properly, the way I suggested, this wouldn't be a problem anymore. Of course, without seeing the modified code, it's impossible for me to tell you what's going wrong.

Good day,
I have created a webservice in visual web developer express.
"http://localhost:50198/ScanShip.asmx"
It has a function:
"http://localhost:50198/ScanShip.asmx?op=CheckSerial"
How would I now consume this webservice from Visual Basic .net.
You cannot create a webservice in visual basic 2008 express and all the documentation explains how to set up the webserivce and then consume it in the same project.
I only want vb.net to consume an existing web service.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add a reference to it from your VB.NET project.
Right-Click the Project in the Solution Explorer and select Add Service Reference.Steve Jowett

I am developing an assessment in vb.net and on the last page, I want to be able to add a signature. Does anyone know how to add or attach a signature in vb.net? Any advice would help. Thanks.
