Hi,
I need a way to find out before starting the download of a file with FTP if the file is being changed.
Ex: with a regular file, i can try to open the file EXCLUSIVELY.
Is it possible to do the same thing with wininet.dll and FTP
Thanks

No. FTP servers normally don't support that functionality unless it is an implementation specific extension, and I don't know of any that do. Normally, FTP servers don't support exclusive access to files being downloaded. The problem is the status of the file can change in between the request for the locked status and the start of the actual download. So with that in mind, by the standard specification, when you start the file transfer, the server can respond with a '450-File unavailable' error. But you have to try and start the file transfer to find that out.

In the windows form, I have a datagrid which is binded with the dataset. How can I know the rows number of the datagrid after I load the datagrid.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are binded with Dataset,it is easy to get number of rows.
datasetvariable.Tables("Tablename").rows.count.it will work. here you will get more information. http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinForms

I'm using VB6 to write a report and some of the reports's controls are being formatted with an underline at run-time even though it isn't in their font property or visible at design-time. Can anyone help?
If it's broken, I probably did it

Hi folks... Looking for an answer if you have one please.
I'm currently writing an game using vb.net. Its not the most graphical game on the planet but it's steadily growing... My question relates to size.
I already have 18 forms with over 5 Mb's of artwork and sounds. When I compile the program it comes to about 1.4 mb's (I'm keeping the graphics and sound separate for the moment.)
As I'm about a third of the way through this small epic I was wondering about the EXE. As it add new forms it grows (not surprising)  . But what are the limits (if there are any).
Most modern game files are small 1mb ish loaders that feed off large data files. Should I be looking this way or am I ok to carrying on increasing the size of my ending EXE.
All the best Coops.

Don't worry - You've got a long way to go before you hit these. You're more likely to need to worry about the amount of memory installed on your user's system first.

I would recommend you would be better splitting it up in to logically separate DLLS so you can load and unload them as the game progresses and keep the runtime memory overhead down. As you're keeping the graphics and sounds separate that at least means, as I see it, these are loaded on demand rather than residing in memory for the duration so it keeps the memory overhead down a little bit also.

Unloading a .NET assembly isn't an easy thing to do. Even if you load it into a separate AppDomain, this will hurt performance, as all calls will need to go through remoting.
The resulting code can be much slower than loading everything on memory.

How can I use an ActiveX (non-visible during runtime) created in Embedded VC 3.0 with VB.NET? The COM tab in References menu is not available for platforms like PocketPC2002.

Hi,
I am new to VB.net and I am writing an application where I would like a user to be able to click on a button on a toolbar (which is on a parent form) and then be able to click on a child form to place a .gif or .jpeg
I have no idea where to start and haven't been able to find much of use on the net.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

|

when the user clicks on the child form, what happens? they place an image there? or you want to display an image on the form where they click?

Jordan,
I want them to place an image on the form. I have been trying to work out ways of doing it by piecing together info I have learned from some GDI+ tutorials but to no avail.

Hi
I am looking for simple source code that allows me to get E-mail from an ISP onto a PC and strip it and re-build it ( I need to find certain text in the message body and copy it into the subject line.) The program then needs to act as a server and allow another program to use POP3 to retrieve the mail, any ideas?
Cheers

Hai,somebody can help me to write a search function in my program using vb6
|
|

To search for...? In what -- a database? -- in text files? -- in all files?

Search in database. The records we search for must display in datagrid. can u send me same example of program?
That is an extremely broad, general question, and as such, is very difficult to answer in this kind of forum. Assuming that you are accessing the records from some ODBC, OleDb or SQL data source, you would typically design a form on which a user would enter search parameters, then, since this is VB6, build a query string to execute on an ADODB command, return a record set and bind the record set to a grid. The high-level, general nature of your question makes me think this is something you may not have done before. I suggest searching for general ADO programming samples and tutorials on VB-related web sites as a starting point; then if you have more specific questions related to a particular sample or some of your own code, post it back here.

Brendon,
I want to make sure we're still talking about Visual Basic 6; your earlier example and code led me to this conclusion, but if we are really talking about Visual Basic.NET, then there is much different approach.
The code in the VS.NET magazine article (here[^]) was an excellent example of running a query and binding it to a MS Hierarchical Flex Grid on a Visual Basic 6 form. If you boil it down to the most basic elements, it looks like this:
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
cnn.Open "..." ' details omitted
rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Customers", cnn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
Set MyFlexGrid.DataSource = rs
However, I get the feeling from your recent inquiries (via email) that you are also concerned about the SQL syntax for joining a Customer Orders table on one or more Customer records. That would be fairly easy to produce, but I have no idea what your table looks like, so I can only offer the most basic suggestions, if that is the case. Let me know, OK?

use the MSXML Library:
this is a sample code :
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim root
Dim xmlDoc
Dim child
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
'Set root to the XML document's root element, COLLECTION:
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
'Walk from the root to each of its child nodes:
For Each child In root.childNodes
MsgBox child.Text
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim ElemList
Dim xmlDoc
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
Set ElemList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("AUTHOR")
For i = 0 To (ElemList.length - 1)
MsgBox ElemList.Item(i).xml
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Command3_Click()
Dim xmlDoc
Dim root
Dim newElem
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
Set newElem = xmlDoc.createElement("PAGES")
root.childNodes.Item(1).appendChild newElem
root.childNodes.Item(1).lastChild.Text = "400"
MsgBox root.childNodes.Item(1).xml
End Sub
that reads this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

VB6: I suggest the NT Service Toolkit from Desaware.
VB.NET: there are several examples in the MSDN library, and perhaps here on CP as well.

Hello again. I'm back with another random and mostly useless request; anyone have or know of a component for VB.Net that captures feed from a webcam (through a USB port if you need to know)? I'm thinking it would be a window within the form, like the browser control, and the video would play on it. If there is no such component, then I could use some source code (maybe I'll code my own component  ).
Thanks for the help!
As I sit here, I contemplate the last words of Socrates: "I drank what?".

Go to the site of the webcam's company and see if they have a developer site or an SDK. Logitech's is http://developer.logitech.com[^]. You can fill out a small survey, then download the SDK which will come with the stuff you want.
