Have you thought about putting VB.NET ADO.NET Access in to a search engine and see what you get?

Hi Has anyone worked with DVT cameras? I want read and write camera registers. With activeX I can control the camera fine but working with camera registers(string,byte,int,...) acticeX is not capable (I think so). I use VB.Net 2003 standard version.

I am using a function to keep an error log in case of run-time errors. When the program breaks, ex.stacktrack and ex.innerexception, containing useful technical information are not written to the log file.

Any ideas?

Jon

Code:

Friend Sub DisplayError(ByVal Caption As String, ByVal ErrorMessage As String, _
ByVal LogError As Boolean, Optional ByVal InnerException As String = " ", _
Optional ByVal StackTrace As String = " ")

' Displays an error message and logs the error
If Caption = "" Then
MessageBox.Show(ErrorMessage, Caption, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
Else
MessageBox.Show(ErrorMessage, Caption, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End If

If LogError = True Then
'Log the error message in a text file
Dim ErrorLog As New StreamWriter(strAppPath & "\" & "Error.log", True)
Const strDelimiter As String = ","

Try
ErrorLog.Write(Now.ToString)
ErrorLog.WriteLine(strDelimiter & Caption & _
strDelimiter & ErrorMessage & _
strDelimiter & InnerException)
Finally
ErrorLog.Close()
End Try
End If
End Sub

Do you send any inner exception string to the method?

You have no code that writes the stack trace to the file.

NET-1.1: Owner Draw Context Menu

Hi to everyone,

I've written a small application which reside in the tray area, with a context menu and no form.

I'm trying to display a user drawn menu, the same way I already did so many times in standard Windows application, by using the DrawMenu & MeasureItem couple (and of course the UserDraw property set to True); but I'm getting no output, just a blank line, even the text ("View logs", for instance) disappear, though if I click on the item I get the expected behaviour (the log window appears).

By the way, another difference with the standard Windows app, is that I'm defining the menu items in the sub Main (since I have no form)

Can someone please help me.

Thanks in advance

Okay... So what part of making a chat application are you stuck with. A chat application is a big project and you are not going to get an answer to such a vague question as that in a forum. Be specific! Make an attempt yourself, and then, if you get stuck, as for help on a specific aspect of your application. We are not going to tell you how to create your application.

The size of the network doesn't change the complexity of the application. A chat application is essentially a peer-to-peer system communicating between two nodes on a network. It will still function the same way whether the network as a whole has 3 nodes or 3 million nodes.

So, what specifically are you needing help with?

So, you need a central server to take note of everyone as the log in and out of the system and their connection details. It also responds to each client when clients connect to tell them their contact lists and who is online or not from their contacts list and so on.

Next you will need to write a client application that can can connect to the central server. It also needs to act as a mini-server in its own right so it can receive message from other users. It also needs to act as a client that can connect to other clients (or clients that are acting as servers).

Are you seeing how complex this is yet? It really isn't the sort of question that can be answered in a forum post.
