The appref has an extension that windows does not display (.appref-ms)- I had to use dos to get the extension - how quaint.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Group Risk\StressMastr.appref-ms
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sApp) now launches the program successfully. Now to include a command line string!

Hi,
I have a project and I have designed the form, but I am not sure of my code. Can somebody help me plz?
This is the question of my project:
A local car rental company would like a computer application to calculate and display rental charges for each renter and summary rental charges for the day. The company charges AED60 per day plus AED0.8 for each kilometre driven by the renter. In this assignment, you are expected to use structured programming methodology to develop a user-friendly, high quality VB.NET windows system that will handle the following:
1. For each renter:
1.1the application must be enable the user to input the renter’s name, beginning odometer reading, ending odometer reading, and the number of days the car was used. The application will check to ensure that the name of the customer is not blank, ending odometer reading is greater than the beginning odometer reading, and that the beginning odometer reading and number of usage days are greater than zero – appropriate error messages must be displayed if incorrect data is entered by the user.
1.2when the compute and display button is clicked, the application upon ensuring that correct data has been entered, will calculate and display in appropriate controls, the charge for kilometres driven, the charge for the usage of the car, and the rental charge (sum of kilometre and usage charges). After displaying charge details for each renter, the system will update and display summary data (totals for kilometres, usage and rental charges).
2.Prepare for next renter’s charges or cancel the current renter by having a button for clearing all user entered data and computed details – but not the summary details. The summary details must always reflect the latest totals, and they are not to be cleared while the program is running.

This is a homework assignment. Treat this board as if your prof is reading it. Asking us to just handover the code is cheating.

I sure wouldn't mind having his professor's email address and drop them a line about the cheat

Seriously, assuming you manage to pass your course, when you get a job, did you hope to post here to get your work done for you then, too ?
You need to do your own homework, but, if you try and get stuck on specific things, we're more than happy to help you.

We only assist when you have problems with your code. What u are asking for is for this forum to fix u up with a whole project! Wake up and work!

It smell like homework, even through the internet i can smell it 
Well, the first, start working, because sure you don't have all the time.
Drill down the assignment in things that you need, try to create what you can, and than with specific questions we will help you. But the meaning of all is learn to program in VB.NET.
Good luck, and I hope to see you here with questions and with the progress of your assignment.

To get help you need to show that you have put significant effort into building your code ie you must have code of your own, then people can comment on your effort. You cant ask people to do all your work. This will not be taken kindly by the other hard working coders out there. This sort of practice is generally frown upon

I'm sure this has been asked ad nauseum, but I have MTA thread from which I need to write to a textbox on a different form.
Is there any simple, or at least doable, answer?
Thanks

Right, I understand the idea of the delegate and I know how to call one from a backgroundworker or from a STA thread.
My problem is that the code that I'm using (third-party) is running under an MTA (multiple apartment) thread.
I cannot seem to get the same delegates that work just fine from a backgroundworker to work under the MTA thread.
It's my impression that the MTA threading is a different animal entirely...that the GUI is based on calls from STA threads.
Am I wrong about that?

Nope. You're not. I'm just too tired and missed that part of your post.
Hmmm...

Wow, have I really stumped DK? First time on that for me! Makes me wonder whether this is even possible.
|

Stumped?? Hardly. I just need to do the research and come up with a testable solution. Time is a bit short right now, so this takes a while.

Well, it does work and without anything "off the wall". This is the test case I put together under the .NET Framework 2.0. The only controls are a Form, TextBox, and Button.
Imports System.Threading
Public Class Form1
Private Delegate Sub UpdateTextBoxDelegate(ByVal Message As String)
Private Sub UpdateTextBox(ByVal Message As String)
TextBox1.AppendText(message & Environment.NewLine)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click
For x As Integer = 1 To 20
Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf GenerateData)
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.MTA)
t.Start()
Next
End Sub
Private Sub GenerateData()
Dim callback As New UpdateTextBoxDelegate(AddressOf UpdateTextBox)
For x As Integer = 1 To 10
TextBox1.Invoke(callback, New Object() { _
String.Format("Thread Id: {0} Apartment: {1} Message: {2}", _
Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId, _
Thread.CurrentThread.GetApartmentState().ToString(), _
x)})
Next
End Sub
End Class
Sorry, I just went back and found out you're using a third party component. The short version of apartments is COM components written in STA mode can only have one thread call their methods at any one time, the thread that created the component. In MTA (sometimes called "free threading", multiple calls to the component's methods from any thread(s) are possible with complete safety.
Since most of Windows Forms and the controls it supplies wrap the existing COM controls, most of which are written in STA mode, the default apartment mode for a Windows Forms app is STA. It's possible to change this, but not a good idea because the COM controls backing Windows Forms requires an STA environment to run.
Calling a method of a control in STA can be done from any apartment mode, so long as the call is marshaled to the thread that created the control. It matters more about the apartment your code is calling, than the apartment the call is comming from. I'd be willing to bet that there's something in this third party component that is not marshalling the call back to STA correctly.

OK, thanks... I think you are on to something there. The 3rd party code is not allowing me to make my callback properly. I'll try to keep checking into this. Thank you so very much for your time....really appreciated.

Thank You, that is exactly what I need to be using.

Click on the Start button, then on Run. Type PERFMON.MSC and hit enter. This is the Performance Monitor. You can montior all kinds of system information such a network activity, disk access, memory usage, ...
The performance counter classes let your code create and expose custom counters so you can monitor components work using PERFMON or some other performance monitoring tool.

Have you looked around at the PerformanceCounter class?

I have an application in Vb.net. There is a crystalreport that displays records from an access Database.But i want to filter records that report displays.Each records has 6 fields and one of this is LisTR.
I have a function VerifyS(...) as boolean , this function get as argument the value of this field and return true if the record that have this filed should display in the report or no.
But i have problem using this function.
I use : CrystalReportViewers1.SelectionFormula=("VerifyS{Table1.LisTr}=True")
But i get an error
So , How to use a function inside SelectionFormula?
Thank You !
|

If this VerifyS function is defined in your VB.NET code, you can NOT use it in the SelectionFormula filter. Last I knew, CrystalReports cannot call back into your code to call functions.
The way around this would be to add a field to your table that your code can modify based upon your rules, then you can use that field in the SelectionFormula to filter the records.
