This situation is very confusing. Page ONE is a list of post offices. Page two is Notes: on those post offices.
I made templates and use them to enter the INFORMATION. All of "A" post offices linked OK. The first four "B" post offices linked OK. but the fifth one did not go to the Post office Note: but to the head of the second (Notes:) page. Then alright down to number four in "C" post offices. The rest I had entered only went to the top of Notes: page.
I am using Yahoo Small Business on an iMac.
This is my first page, post office list page code.
I used a period for the GREATER than sign on the tags as it did not show right in preview.

My web site is Postcards and Postal HISTORY, http://www.postcards-postal-history.com.
If anyone can explain what is going on I would sure appreciate an explanation.

but also because I can do a few extra things with vbs that can't be done via batch.

shell.run """X:\setup.exe /s /v""/l*v /qn NETWORKTYPE=1 SERVERNAME=basdc01 ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress""", 1, True

I have since made a new varaible with the full command (including the extra "). I managed to use the chr(34) to add it.

/s /v"/l*v log.txt /qn NETWORKTYPE=1 SERVERNAME=basdc01 ENABLEAUTOPROTECT=1 RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress

I think I might have to start a batch file in vbs and have the batch file do the work. (tacky)

I think this is my problem. I guessing the setup.exe will only take %1. (hench why everytime I run it, it just opens the setup.exe and doesn't install)

Hello again and thank you for helping me every time.
Today I was thinking about some stuff in vb and had 2 questions that google didn't answer me:
1. How can I Sendkeys to another process without being focused on, I mean if I have the MS Word opened but minimized or in background, can I send a text to that process without making it on top of all?
2. Is it possible to find a text on another process and get the COORDINATES of where the text is? Ex find the Like button on a website with fb and get the coordinates? Without downloading the webpage, maybe using webbrowser controlQuote

2. Is it possible to find a text on another process and get the coordinates of where the text is? Ex find the Like button on a website with fb and get the coordinates? Without downloading the webpage, maybe using webbrowser control

If looking for text on a web page this is FAR EASIER, but image recognition of the Like symbol of Facebook would be quite an involved process.

I want to find a text and click on it automatically

i used to use nero as a backup tool on an external hard drive, but i had my settings backing it up wayy too often and it has taken up a huge portion of the drive. I dont much care for the software anymore, so id rather just delete the entire folder of backups.

problem 1: it took absolutely forever to try and delete USING the recycle bin, and so i right clicked to see how big these files are.
according to windows, the file size of my backups is 964 gb.
That makes no sense whatsoever, as i have 892 gb of other material on the drive as is. and its only a 1tb drive.
My OS itself is only on a 75gb drive, and i have another 250gb drive attached also, so theres no way these backups could be anywhere else on the computer than the 1tb drive, however i dont understand why windows thinks the files take up so much space.

problem 2: these backup directories are insanely convoluted and i dont have the time or patience to go through each of the thousands of folders manually and delete all the files. so far though i have had no success with the RMDIR, DEL or RD commands in cmd; i continually get the error "The directory is not empty" -which im aware of, and id like to completely empty it all in one go. Im running windows 7 32bit, so i can't use DELTREE to my knowledge?

Can someone please help me with syntax on what i should be using to delete this backup folder through command prompt?

the exact location of the folder i want to delete is: "F:\Computer Backup\Desktop\Nero". Please keep in mind i have little/no experience with command prompt (compared with the experience on here im sure). I know how to NAVIGATE directories and such, and thats about it. deltree was "replaced" with a switch on rmdir, rmdir /s. so rmdir /s foldername would remove the foldername and all it's contents.

Also, you can shift-del in explorer to delete something without sending it to the recycle bin.

If the size is being reported wrong I'd run chkdsk on the drive it is on. Some directory entries are likely corrupted.ok ill try those. forgive my ignorance, WHATS chkdsk? is it a download or is it on my computer somewhere?you can check a disk by right clicking it in explorer and choosing properties, then on the hardware tab selecting "scan now". Make sure to check "automatically fix errors". chkdsk is also available at the command prompt-
Code: [Select]chkdsk /f C:would check drive C. For the system drive it might not work right off, INSTEAD requiring a reboot so that it can perform the check before the system starts up.chkdsk is a windows utility program that's used to fix your disk (partition specified) 4 errors!!
u can type chkdsk /? in the command window to get the menu of the parameters and uses of
chkdsk..!! NB: u cant chkdsk on the drive holding the OS (most cases C: drive) while the computer is
still on. u will need to schedule that to be performed in start up!!...

I made a program that generates a random integer between 0 and 100, asks the user to guess it through console, and prints out results accordingly. I made use (most likely over use) of if and else if (methods? What do you call them?) and was wondering if what I have punched out is acceptable and efficient or unreadable spaghetti code.

package numberguessinggame2;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NumberGuessingGame2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

INT rdmint = 0;
int guess = 0;
while (rdmint == 0){
rdmint = (int)(Math.random()*101);
}

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
while(guess != rdmint){
System.out.print("Enter an interger between 0 and 100: ");
String userinput = input.nextLine();
try {
guess = Integer.parseInt(userinput);
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
}
boolean range = ((guess < 100) && (guess > 0));
if ((guess == rdmint) && range){
System.out.println("Your guess is correct");
}
else if ((guess > rdmint) && range){
System.out.println("Your guess is too high");
}
else if ((guess < rdmint) && range){
System.out.println("Your guess is too low");
}else {
System.out.println("Your guess is invalid");
}
}
}
}

Hello all,

I've started on a new android application the other day, and i'm designing it with the tablet in mind. It's going to be a multiplayer game and the basic idea of it is to have a "player" object on each side of the SCREEN and both players will be able to move and rotate their character at will and shoot at each other.

I'm getting close to getting the basic functionality working in it, but I've stumbled into a roadblock. I can't figure out how to get both objects to rotate at the same time without affecting the one that isn't MEANT to rotate. In other words, if I rotate one object, the other one either isn't being displayed on the screen, or is being rotated around the screen too, if that makes any sense.

I've included the source below and all help is hugely appreciated! Thank you

I'm also using a custom thread class, AndThread.java, but I didn't include this because I didn't think that it would help with my issue, but if anyone thinks that i should include it, just let me know so I can throw it up on here.You should move the drawing code into the player itself:

Code: [Select]public void draw(Graphics g){
Matrix cached = g.getMatrix();
canvas.setMatrix(matrix);
if (touchX < this.getRLimit())
matrix.setRotate(player1.getRotationAngle(),
getX()+getImage().getWidth()/2,
getY()+getImage().getHeight()/2);


canvas.drawBitmap(getImage(), getX(), getY(), null);
canvas.setMatrix(cached);
}


Basic idea is to save the initial rotation, rotate if NECESSARY, draw, and then reset it to what it was.Thank you for your post BC_Programmer. I don't know why I didn't think of that, actually. But I will surely give this a shot.

Hey all:

I have a question I would like to POSE regarding a resulting SAFEARRAY from managed code. I have a C# class that contains a struct and a METHOD that returns an array of that struct. For example:

Code: [Select]
struct myStruct
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8)]
double val1;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8)]
double val2;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8)]
double val3;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.R8)]
double val4;

[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string name;
}

myStruct[] buildStructArray(Rectangle rect);


I can follow the progression of the method when I call it from the native C++ source code. Inside there, the code is running through and building the myStruct[] accordingly. When the C# class is COM interopped, the struct array is converted to a SAFEARRAY so the C++ progression looks something like:

Code: [Select]
SAFEARRAY *pStructArray = NULL;

myClass->buildStructArray(rect, &pStructArray );

// Get the IRecordInfo object associated with the structure.
IRecordInfoPtr spIRecordInfo = NULL;
SafeArrayGetRecordInfo(pStructArray , &spIRecordInfo);

// Get the lower and upper bounds for the inner safe array data.
long lBound = 0;
long uBound = 0;
SafeArrayGetLBound(pStructArray , 1, &lBound);
SafeArrayGetUBound(pStructArray , 1, &uBound);

long dimSize = uSubBound - lSubBound + 1;
long rgIndices[1];

for(int i = 0; i &LT; dimSize; i++)
{
rgIndices[0] = i;

myStruct* curMyStruct;

memset(&curMyStruct, 0, sizeof(curMyStruct));

SafeArrayGetElement(pStructArray , rgIndices, &curMyStruct);

// Try to read the values from the SAFEARRAY here. The values are garbled or non-existent.

spIRecordInfo -> RecordClear((PVOID)&curMyStruct);


OK. So getting the values from the SAFEARRAY is erroneous. I am trying view the name using something along the lines of:

Code: [Select]
DisplayMessage((const char *)curMyStruct->name));


...and the double values using the code:

Code: [Select]
double curVal1 = 0.0;
double curVal2 = 0.0;
double curVal3 = 0.0;
double curVal4 = 0.0;

curVal1 = curMyStruct->val1;
curVal2 = curMyStruct->val2;
curVal3 = curMyStruct->val3;
curVal4 = curMyStruct->val4;

std::stringstream val1ss;
std::stringstream val2ss;
std::stringstream val3ss;
std::stringstream val4ss;

val1ss<< curVal1 ;
val2ss<< curVal2 ;
val3ss<< curVal3 ;
val4ss<< curVal4 ;

DisplayMessage(_T(val1ss.str().c_str()));
DisplayMessage(_T(val2ss.str().c_str()));
DisplayMessage(_T(val3ss.str().c_str()));
DisplayMessage(_T(val4ss.str().c_str()));


I am confident in the DisplayMessage function because it is used successfully throughout the code quite frequently. I am going to have to figure out why the SAFEARRAY has bogus values or find another option to using arrays.

So my question: why am I getting the erroneous values when I can see the values being stored inside the managed method when being called from the C++ code?

THANKS for any input.

Now, the weird thing is that when the MsgBox comes up, it prints "P: True M: True". Shouldn't it be "P: False M: True"? Why is vb.net, a language completely devoid of pointers, suddenly behaving as if it has them all of a sudden?Quote from: glaba on August 01, 2012, 11:45:25 AM

oh, i didn't realize that assigning objects didn't copy them thanks. i still find it odd that vb should copy the reference, though. I thought it was only C-based languages that did this.

I am working with WINDOWS xp and have basically no programming experience... I have a basic excell (2010) document saved on a shared drive over the company network. The goal is to have a batch (or any language really, I'm not picky) program that will check if the document has been saved (ie modified RECENTLY) and SEND me an email (using outlook 2010) if it has been. I figured I can used Task Scheduler to run the Batch file every ten minutes or so, but I'm basically at a loss as FAR as the program itself. Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks!Welcome to CH.
You NEED to resolve this with other users in your group.
Excel has some work group rules about how a document can be changed. One rule is that a change has to become a new document, the old document is still there for reference.

In your documentation find "Workgroup Rules" as see if that fits your problem.

Hello, I am having some problems with a code that I am working on it is supposed to copy everything in one folder and then place the copy where the file is.

The Problem is when I test it, it incorrectly creates the exe files and they end up beeping at me several times before closing when I run the copies.

is there a way I could improve this code or is it not possible to copy exe files? Every other file type I have tried worked with this method.

Code: [Select]using System;
using System.IO;
namespace CopyFiles
{
public class Copy
{
public static void Main()
{
int Byte;
string Lines;
Byte = 0;
Lines = "";
string [] files = Directory.GetFiles("TestFolder");
foreach(string file in files)
{
Lines = "";
string filee = file.Replace("TestFolder\\", "");
FileStream A = new FileStream(@file, FileMode.Open);
for (int i = 0; (Byte = A.ReadByte()) != -1; i++)
{
char by = (char)(Byte);
Lines = Lines + by;
}
A.Close();
FileStream B = new FileStream(@filee, FileMode.Create);
foreach(char l in Lines)
{
Byte = (int)(l);
B.WriteByte(Convert.ToByte(Byte));
}
B.Close();
}
}
}
}

C#/.NET use Unicode.
a Unicode char is 2 bytes in size. A byte is one... byte. Converting LIKE this will not work. Additionally, when you have certain code points in a string it will create different unicode characters. You should not be using a string. I am not on Windows atm so I cannot test with an EXECUTABLE but you could use SOMETHING like fc on the original and destination to see how the conversions are screwing up the executable.

You are reading the entire file into memory, then writing that to a new file. Why? Why not do both at once? eg.

Code: [Select] int bufferSize = 1024 * 64;
using(FileStream is = new FileStream("source",FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read))
{
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("destination", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write))
{

int bytesRead = -1;
byte[] bytes = new byte[bufferSize];

while ((bytesRead = is.Read(bytes, 0, bufferSize)) > 0)
{
fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytesRead);
}
fs.Flush();
}
}
Or, could do something really crazy like use the provided .NET framework method for this purpose:

Code: [Select]File.Copy("Source","Destination");

Well so far I tried to test your code by compiling and it doesn't like your using statements here is the error.

Copy.cs(10,22): error CS1031: Type expected
Copy.cs(18,21): error CS1525: Invalid expression term 'is'

I think I'll go through msdn.microsoft.com to see if I can find another way to do this. Your idea is really good THANK you for the help =)

EDIT: No the problem seems to not be the using but the first FileStream itself, I'll see if I can figure this out >.<

EDIT AGAIN: okay the problem was the file streams name all it needed was to be changed from is to just about anything else >.>Thank you, you solved my problem I re tested the code and it works =)

I learned intro to C# off one of those MS Books and its a great book with examples and at the back of the book it came with a DVD containing all the Express packages C++, C#, Visual Basic, etc. They must have made 1 DVD for every Express Programming book they made vs making 3 or more different discs. My favorite project in the MS C# Express book was making your own custom browser, spinoff of IE. I found C# very easy given that I came from a background in Basic, C++, Perl, and a few other languages and scripting languages. Was amazed at how simple it is to use and it automatically populates sections of code when adding features to your programs in addition to how it starts you out with a template SORT of, of the necessities to make any program without having to type in what would be redundant to every program. C# was definately designed for RAPID development and ease of use. I too suggest C#. I started with GW-Basic way back in the 1980s and worked my way from that to QBasic, then C, then C++. I find C++ for the most part easy but its only because I have written programs in it for the past 14 years. Anyone jumping from say Basic with line numbers to C++ or any other modernized language for that sake is in for a challenge when they have to break the spaghetti code habits of what Basic with line numbers created. Teaching others programming basics I find it easier to train people with no experience than those with exposure to Basic with line numbers, as for some habits are hard to break, and although you can add goto's in modern languages its poor programming grammar to add them when they can be avoided with cleaner coding. Have I added goto's...YES... sometimes its nice to throw one in there for a 10 SECOND fix, but I generally avoid them when POSSIBLE.

InnerException:

I searched on Google but didn't actually understand the code and I don't use pieces of code that I don't understand.

Thank you again:DWhen accessing Windows Forms from another thread, you need to use Invoke on the TARGET control. eg. to set the text of a label from another thread:


Code: [Select]Label1.Text="hello"


will throw an error.

Code: [Select]Me.Invoke((Function() Label1.Text="hello"))
I'm not 100% Sure for VB; this is AFAIK the equivalent to this C#:
Code: [Select]this.Invoke((MethodInvoker)(()=>Label1.Text="hello"));

Figured it out, works now:D
now i'm getting another error:
Code: [Select] If version = onlineversion Then

Else
MsgBox("A aparut o versiune mai noua! Apasati Ok pentru a face update." & vbLf & "Versiunea programului: " & version & vbLf & "Versiunea noua: " & onlineversion & vbLf & vbLf & "Apasati F1 pentru actualizare!", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Actualizare disponibila!")
actualizare.Show()
End If
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: CONVERSION from string "" to type 'Double' is not valid.

Visual Studio shows that the error is at actualizare.show()Quote from: alecsillidan on July 21, 2012, 11:53:19 AM

It works setting the label text, the error occures in line "If version = onlineversion Then" and I'm not getting the ideea...how i'm supposed to make the if condition if vb can't read those variables or idk why i'm getting that error:|

Hey guys,

Can someone help me scrape this page please: http://director.flyerservices.com/SOB/default.aspx?banner=Sobeys&pubtype=1&language=en&view=Text&storeNumber=743

The page seems to redirect to another page and my PHP result from cURL says "Object moved here".

Can someone please PROVIDE me with a solution on how to scrape this page?

Thank you in advance,


- ultimatumI always feel slightly uneasy about helping out with screen scraping. There are plenty of legitimate use cases, of course, and I am not for one second suggesting that your intentions are dark - but the intentions of many reading this thread may be less scrupulous.

So let's keep this to helpful pointers.

Firstly, I'd strongly recommend reading up on curl_setopt(): http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Pay particular attention to the myriad of options and the effects they have. HINT: one of my web apps uses the following, but these of course may not be appropriate for your needs:

Code: [Select] curl_setopt($this-&GT;_ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies/cookie_'.$cookie_serial.'.txt');
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_HEADER , 1);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 25);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 25);
curl_setopt($this->_ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // cURL having problems with CA certificates

Secondly, get yourself a copy of Fiddler. Understand what it does. It will help you immensely with tricky web transactions: http://www.fiddler2.com/Fiddler2/

Hey all,

I am in the process of MAKING a game using Actionscript 3 in FlashDevelop. In this game, you will have a player object located in a fixed position (for now..) on the screen and can control your player using your mouse. I want this sprite to ROTATE from it's CENTERPOINT and facing the mouse. I'm having a heck of a time getting this to work how I want it to, and the closest I can get is to get it to rotate from it's top left corner. I've googled for hours on the subject, but if anyone knows a good tutorial on this, or a snippet of code for me, that would be super helpful. Thank you I am not familiar with action-script (i wish i was), but is it possible to copy the sprite image file multiple times and have it partially rotated with your graphics editor

Then in your program have the sprite redrawn as the partially rotated sprite files?
Does this make sense? Seems the commonly accepted method is to put the bitmap in a sprite and rotate it that way:
Code: [SELECT]var spriteContainer:Sprite = NEW Sprite ();
bitmap.x = - bitmap.width / 2;
bitmap.y = - bitmap.height / 2;
spriteContainer.addChild (bitmap);
addChild (spriteContainer);
spriteContainer.rotation = 30; //put your rotation here

For some reason when you run it the button's command is run and doesn't run when you click it.TheWaffle,

It can help a lot if you indicate what OS you have and which version pf Python. And how does TK fit in here?

Did you copy this code from a sample file?It's because you are CALLING the files command as a parameter. You need to pass the Function object itself. Leave off the parentheses, for example, rather than this:
Code: [Select]self.Button1.configure(command=files())

try this:

Code: [Select]self.Button1.configure(command=files)

Hey people...

I have a C++ project that contains a stdafx.h file which tries to import a TLB (we'll call it MYFAVLibrary.tlb). When I go to compile the project I get an error on the line

Code: [Select]#import "MYFAVLibrary.tlb" raw_interfaces_only, raw_native_types, no_namespace, named_guids

The error is

Code: [Select]error C4772: #import referenced a type from a missing type library; '__missing_type__' used as a placeholder

I have tracked down which types were replaced with '__missing_type__' and they are IXMLDOMDocument, IXMLDOMNodeList, and IXMLDOMnode. These types are defined in the msxml.h header file derived from msxml3.dll. The header file is listed in the external DEPENDENCIES for the project and if I try to add one of those types in the code it is recognized so I am not sure why they are not being seen when #import tries to build the TLH file.

Microsoft states the following about error C4772:

Quote

Note that the compiler will not find type libraries in different directories if you use the /I (Additional INCLUDE Directories) compiler option to specify those directories. If you want the compiler to find type libraries in different directories, add those directories to the PATH environment variable.

I wonder if maybe MSXML might refer to other types, say from olelib? (I'm just guessing here, never really used COM & C/C++)

Aaughh!!!

I was RECENTLY talking to a friend on msn messenger when somethin started downloading, before i could STOP it had downloaded. It was, wat i believe to be an MS-DOS VIRUS which sends to everyone when i log on to msn.

I found the folder it was living in and also descovered 8 others!! i was happy and jus deleted them and emptied my recycle bin and THOUGHT nothing of it. Went back a bit later to find them back again.

Descovered if i delete them, a shortcut copy of them automatically comes back.

Anyone know how to completely get rid of them? Or what i need to BUY to do so??

I typed up a SMALL C++ program for sorting int arrays. I was wondering if there are any issues with the program. As always, all help is appreciated.
Code: [Select]#include <iostream>

void swap(int& a, int& b)
{
int temp;
temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}


int main()
{
//Create an array of integers.
const int SIZE_OF_A = 10;
int a[SIZE_OF_A];
int i = 0;
int j;
//Generate an array of random integers.
for(int k = 0; k < SIZE_OF_A; k++)
{
a[k] = rand()%11;
}
//Sort the array values from smallest to largest
// if one index is greater than the next, swap the indexes go back to beginning of CHECK
while(i != (SIZE_OF_A - 1)){
j = i + 1;
if (a[i] > a[j]){
swap(a[i], a[j]);
i = 0;
} else if (a[i] <= a[j]){
i++;
}
}
//Print the sorted array to console.
for(int i = 0; i < SIZE_OF_A; i++)
{
STD::cout << a[i] << std::endl;
}
//Pause and wait for USER to exit.
std::cout << "Enter any alphanumeric value(s) and press enter to exit. " << std::endl;
char response;
std::cin >> response;
return 0;
}

Can someone please help me on this problem. I am trying to send the updated changes to the sql database when I remove a row. I use the delete method to delete the numbered row and then use the upadte command to update the changes. However, when I reload the PROGRAM all the rows are still showing again. Below is the current code I am using for forms 1 and 2. This has been giving me a headache for awhile now and any further help would be appreciated:

Code: [Select]
//form1

private void UpdateSavebtn_Click_1(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Mcon.Open();
UpdateVal = 1;
if (UpdateVal == 0)
{
CurCol = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber;
CurRow = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber;
CellValue = dataGrid1[CurRow, CurCol].ToString();
MessageBox.Show(CellValue.ToString());


if (CellValue == "")
{

MessageBox.Show("No FIELDS can be Blank - update failed");
Movset1.RejectChanges();
ImageMain();
CurRow = -1;
CurCol = -1;

Mcon.Close();
return;

}
CellValue = dataGrid1[CurRow, CurCol].ToString();
CurRow = -1;
CurCol = -1;
}


MovAdapt.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand();
MovAdapt.Update(Movset1.Tables[0]);
Movset1.AcceptChanges();


MessageBox.Show("New MOVIE added");

Mcon.Close();
UpdateVal = 0;

dataGrid1.RowHeadersVisible = true;
}


Code: [Select]
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.Text == "")
{
MessageBox.Show(" Please enter a title to be DELETED ");
return;
}



DSMethod();
DV2 = new DataView(ds2.Tables[0]);
F1.dataGrid1.DataSource = Dv2;
Dv2.RowFilter = "Title ='" + textBox1.Text + "'";

if (Dv2.Count < 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Movie does not exist in MovieBase, please try again");
return;
}
else
{

int rownum = (F1.dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber);
Dv2.Delete(rownum);

ds2.AcceptChanges();
//MovAdapt.UpdateCommand = cb.GetUpdateCommand();
//MovAdapt.Update(Movset1.Tables[0]);

this.Hide();

//Dv2.Table.Rows.Remove(Dv2.Table.Rows.current)

MessageBox.Show("Movie has been deleted");

}

Try updating the whole DataSet, as in

Code: [Select] MovAdapt.Update(Movset1);

I believe you're missing a comma in this line.

If I have the following CODE:

Code: [Select]List<object> objList = new List<object>();
objList.Add(object1);
objList.Add(object2);

and object2 is not can not be serialized, how can I get this into a byte array?

You can not use:

Code: [Select]BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();

formatter.Serialize(memStream, objList);

byte[] listBytes = memStream.ToArray();


because of object2 and:

Code: [Select]byte[] byteArray = (byte[])objList.ToArray();
will not get it either. Any other simple possibilities?

I'm LOOKING for Code that will allow me to PROGRAM a command button whose function is to CLOSE the database to produce the MESSAGE "Happy FRIDAY and have a nice weekend" - only, of course, when the weekday becomes Friday.

Any help will be appreciated.Something like this may help:

Code: [Select]if weekday(now) = vbFriday then msgbox("Happy Friday and have a nice weekend")

Use the code in the button click event along with the code to close the database.



Thanks Sidewinder - your suggestion works perfectly!!!

I have 2 forms in a database which I’ll call form A (BASED on table A) and form B (based on table B.) A field on form B is populated using a combo box ( a list of names) based on table A. If the name is missing in the combo box it needs to be added to table A but I don’t want to have the user exit form B, GO into form A, enter the item and reopen form B. I used a command button to bring up a pop-up form on form B where the user can enter the name to go into table A. The newly entered name won’t show up in the combo box unless form B is closed and then REOPENED.

How can this be made to work without having the user exit form B? What other WAYS are there to do this?

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.Do you have VBA code behind these forms? You might be able use the AfterUpdate event for the combo box or add to the logic where the popup occurs and CLEAR the combo box and reload after the database update.

Good luck.
In Form A, in the COMBO box, go into VBA & in the ComboBox_GotFocus() put "ComboBox.Requery". Be sure to substitute the name of your combo box for "ComboBox".

I have added a TEXT BOX on a form that performs a calculation. Is there code that would ALLOW me to SAVE the results in a table?

Any help would be appreciated.You will need a SQL INSERT statement or a SQL UPDATE statement.

Check out:

http://www.1keydata.com/sql/sqlinsert.html

http://www.1keydata.com/sql/sqlupdate.html

Hope this helps.

I have 2 databases where I've set up certain fields to be required or not null. The fields are required, at the table level, based on a Validation Rule and Validation Text not by setting the property Required to Yes. In one database, this is WORKING perfectly. If a user doesn't fill out one of the "required" fields and tries to close the form using a "close form " command button, the user keeps getting the Validation Text message until they enter data in the field.

In the other database, the "this field is required message" only pops up if the user closes the form using the built-in X in the corner of the form. If the "close form" command button is used, the form just closes without popping up the validation text. It just seems to be IGNORING the validation rules and validation text messages that have been set up.

The database where this is working correctly was created a few years ago in Access 2000 and later converted to Access 2003. The database where the validation isn't working was created in Access 2003. That's the only difference between the 2 that I can think of.

Any SUGGESTIONS?

Does anyone KNOWS something about the NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)?, specifically if someone have an explicit manual, I'll glad with it.

CheersDo you already have the product? You can download from here. It comes with help files (.chm) and online documentation.

Good luck. THANKS, I've been found it! It's excellentI had it a while back. Pretty good for making setups.Quote from: Sidewinder on July 24, 2008, 12:03:39 PM

My single living brain cell keeps me from remembering what I had for breakfast, much less stuff from 1 or 2 years ago.

You were the most famous person on CHF pretty much back then.

I just wanted to post the picture of the car.

How do I WRITE a program to convert centigrade temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures, using this formula: F=9 0ver 5 C + 32? pow....maybe? pow is still confusing me. HELP!It's just math. It doesn't matter much what the programming language is, it is just math.
1. Create some interface to gather the centigrade temperature from the end user.
2. Do the math.
3. Provide some feedback to the user with the result.

Below is a Visual Basic Script that will do what you ask in 5 lines. It is not much different in Java Script, Visual Basic, C++, C#, VBA, etc., etc., etc.

dim c
dim f
c = InputBox("Please enter centigrade temperature")
f = (9 / 5) * c + 32
msgbox f

C++ is a very difficult language to get your head round for the first time. I'd advise you either learn C (which is similar, but if you've programmed before it should make sense) or better yet use my favourite language, Python - www.python.orgLooks awfully like homework!!!Thanks gussery! Needless to say, I also forgot the floating-point. Had to use 9.0.
Yes....Dusty......it's homework. ENCARTA directed me to this site for help. As a C++ student, with lousy math skills, I'm trying to educate myself on these mathematical assignments. Sorry to have bothered you with my needs.
Thanks for the suggestion corrosive; however, the college only teaches C++ at this time. Bummer.......Okay - mebbe my comment was kinda unnecessary.. but the usual way to get help on programming is to submit what you've written and ask for assistance

If you want to do some work at home on C/C++ you need:

a. Access to a tutorial. Here's one and OK its C but it will help

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/c.htm


b. Access to a compiler to allow you to test-run what you've written - see here http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.3/gcc/index.html#Top


c. Access to a specialised forum where help is always willingly given - but note you will have to provide what code has already been written by you... The link below has tutorials & forum available

http://www.programmersheaven.com/zone3/index.htm

Good luck - C/C++ is fun (believe it or not!!)

Since you want floating point, you'd probably want:

f = (9.0 / 5.0) * c + 32

A plain 9 or 5 is interpreted as an integer, and the result of that division would be 1, so I SUSPECT the results would not be as intended.

Hello how are all of you? I am learning Java language. I want to make a VoIP (VOICE Over Internet Protocole) application. So is it possible in Java?

Seondly, if also use VB then can I use Java langnage code in VB also?

Third ANYONE who KNOWS any Operational Documents on how to make VoIP, AVAILABLE on web sites?

I shall be very thankfull to you.
Take care of you and others and be happy.
DrWahabDr Wahab,

Don't know about the VoIP specs.

But you cannot use JAVA inside a VB application, you can only use VB. They are seperate languages.

You can use VB Script and Java Script inside the same web PAGE, but I suspect this is not what you are after.

What is the best book to learn WSH scripting? I have done alot of UNIX shell scripting, but WANT to learn WSH scripting. I LIKE the format of the SAMS Teach Yourself books. The WSH scripting book on that topic is dated 1999, so I don't know if it would have any info on Win 2000 or AD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!Everything you need is already on your WINDOWS MACHINE. You can download the documentation for WSH from:

Hello. I am taking a computer science course at my high school and i needed help installing the program on my computer at HOME. i downloaded java and jcreator, but now i need to copy 3 files into 2 CERTAIN directories. I am not sure how to do this. Can SOMEONE please tell me how to deal with directories??thanks.A directory is the proper term for a folder. And if you don't know what a folder is then GOD help you in your course.

Hello guys.
Today, while PLAYING with VS2010, I discovered a strange ISSUE: the sendkeys.send code isn't sending "(" or ")", it REPLACES them with spaces.
I tried PUTTING the string in a string variable but the result was the same.
How can I send "(" ")" like the NORMAL text?
Thank you, guys:Dhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send.aspx

Quote from: MSDN

The plus sign (+), caret (^), percent sign (%), tilde (~), and parentheses () have special meanings to SendKeys. To specify one of these characters, enclose it within braces ({}). For example, to specify the plus sign, use "{+}". To specify brace characters, use "{{}" and "{}}". Square Brackets ([ ]) have no special meaning to SendKeys, but you must enclose them in braces.

i don't know if anyone here has ever used the DELOLDER script found on http://www.ss64.com/ntsyntax/, but basically it deletes all files older than a certain number of days. for example:

C:\> DELOLDER 90 "C:\TEMP\*"

will delete anything in C:\TEMP older than 90 days old. this works on every SERVER we have except for one and i can't figure out why.

i've NARROWED down the problem to one line. here's what happens when i set the echo on for that line. my file variable seems to get lost.

---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---

SERVER_A (BAD)

C:\ORAMAINT>delolder 120 "C:\test\*"

FOR /f "tokens=*" %G IN ('XCOPY "c:\test\*" /D:03-08-2006 /L | FIND "\"') DO IF """=="%G" (GOTO :eof)

---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---

SERVER_B (GOOD)

C:\ORAMAINT>delolder 120 "C:\test\*"

FOR /f "tokens=*" %G IN ('XCOPY "C:\test\*" /D:03-08-2006 /L | FIND "\"') DO IF "C:\test\poop.txt"=="%G" (GOTO :eof)

---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---

both servers are windows 2003. there's got to be some SETTING or something that i'm missing, but i think i'm staring at it too hard.

the scripts are in a zip file here:

http://www.ss64.com/ntsyntax/delolder.zipThe technique for aging files is actually quite clever. Unfortunately the truckload of supporting batch code is enough to choke a horse.

Best I could COME up with is that this is the line in question:

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('XCOPY %v_source% /D:%v_mm_str%-%v_dd_str%-%v_yy_int% /L ^| FIND "\"') DO IF %1=="%%G" (GOTO :eof)

Since there is no error in the code, check out the data. Run the XCOPY with the /d and /l switches at the command prompt and check the results. Turn ECHO ON so you can see what's passed to the subprograms and what data is returned.

Date calcs in batch seem to be this weeks hot topic. Given a choice, use one of the Windows scripting languages. They all have functions which are designed for just this purpose. Batch code is a command language not a programming language.

8-)the xcopy seems to work fine, but when i set ECHO on in the last line...


:s_match_older
echo FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('XCOPY %v_source% /D:%v_mm_str%-%v_dd_str%-%v_yy_int% /L ^| FIND "\"') DO IF %1=="%%G" (GOTO :eof)
DEL %1

it throws a double quote in where there should be a file name. not only should there be a file name there instead, but the double quote screws up the whole line because it's looking for an "ending" double-quote to pair up with the extra one.

C:\ORAMAINT>DELOLDER 20 "C:\test\*.*"
FOR /f "tokens=*" %G IN ('XCOPY "C:\test\*.*" /D:06-20-2006 /L | FIND "\"') DO IF """=="%G" (GOTO :eof)

so:
• it's not the code (because the SAME code works on other servers).
• it's not the xcopy.

there's got to be some setting that's different on this server than the others, but i hav eno idea what it could be.

Actually I meant to turn ECHO ON in the first line of DELOLDER.CMD. Using ECHO on the FOR line turns the statement into a ECHO instruction with FOR as a literal.

The only settings I'm aware of for the cmd processor are enableextensions and enabledelayedexpansion, both of which can be set within the batch file. Since the author saw no need to turn them on, it's doubtful they're needed.

Without knowing the data you're working with it's difficult to debug. Adding to the difficulty are the calls to subprograms (DateMath and GetDate) where data gets passed around. With ECHO ON (you may also have to turn on ECHO in the subprograms), you should be able to see how each statement is resolved. Work backwards to determine where the variables got their values from.

Considering that this works on other machines, try concentrating on unexpected data on this one machine.

Good luck. 8-)

i do need to do it in VBA, yes. I searched for the INET active X, but apparently you have to pay to get it downloaded. is that true?

How do I ACCOMPLISH this? As in setting myCell to set the integer to 2 for any references, but to the end-user, it should just show "xlLandscape"

Thanks in advNot sure that myCell would have a text property. You COULD reference another cell to get a value.

A1 = 2
A2 could then have a formula: =if(A1=2,"xlLandscape")

You'll create a circular reference if you attempt to use the cell being REFERENCED in it's own formula.

8-)Thanks Resolved!

Can anyone help me... I NEED to ensure whenever I select a Combo Box Option, it will run the respective command.

This is for Visual Studio 6.0. Thanks in advance.Try using the SHELL function:

Code: [Select]dim rc as INTEGER
rc = shell("notepad.exe")

Note: if it's a batch command, you need to include the command PROCESSOR in the shell function:

Code: [Select]dim rc as integer
rc = shell("cmd /c copy fileA fileB")

Happy programming. 8-)Thank you! But how do i integrate it into my code... i know Combo Box options can be identified by integer as well.

I need to ensure whenever I select a Combo Box Option, it will run the respective command

I do have a question on a batch file if you do not mind.

I am creating this batch file below:

1. Create a batch file, Micr.bat, which will accomplish the following:
a. Update a log file on your C:\root folder. Call this log file cleanup.log. Each time your batch file is run it should over-write this log file which CONTAINS the User Name (utilizing the %USERPROFILE% environmental variable),
b. Merge this file onto the back-end of the file cleanup.hst which will also be stored in the C:\ root folder.
c. List the directory contents of this TEMP folder.
d. Ask for the user’s permission to proceed with the deletion of all these files.
E. If the user responds positively, then delete all the files from the user’s TEMP file.
f. Remember to copy the textbook’s REPLY.COM to the folder containing your batch file.
g. Place this batch file in the C:\BatchFiles folder.


This is what I have come up with:

@echo off
rem (BAT)
rem (EVA)
rem (dec 2 2004)

FOR %%a IN (%USERS%) DO IF "%1"=="%%a" GOTO OKAY
:NO
ECHO YOU, %1, are NOT allowed in the system.
GOTO END
KAY
ECHO Welcome %1 to the system.
:END
c:\setup.exe /L2 c:\Logfiles\cleanup.log
c:\ move cleanup.log a:\cleanup.hst
c:\ dir /TEMP
REM This Batch program DELETES all files in the TEMP folder in the current folder.
REM I will give the user to react and abort this process.
@ECHO OFF
ECHO WARNING: Going to delete all files in the temp folder
ECHO Press CTRL+C to abort or simply press a key to continue.
PAUSE
DEL TEMP *.*
c:\ copy REPLY.com C:\EVA
IF %1==Eva GOTO EVA
Echo Is anyone there?
GOTO FINISH
:end

Can you please tell me if i am on the correct track?I can't give you much advice on batch files (I rarely use them anymore) but your logic seems to be correct, although I believe you mis-spelled the word "OKAY" in line 10.Thank you.

I was really not to sure where "forum topic" to send my issue. Well I guess I am were I was before I made the post.

I APOLOGIZE for the repeated posts.

Im just beginning to learn how to USE C. i got this script from this site: http://randimus.freeservers.com/ctut1.html and after i compile this:
#include
main ( )
{
PRINTF ("Hi Cruel World");
return (0);
}

it keep SAYING that line2 warning no newline at end of file
did i type anything wrong?
btw im using dev-C++4.9.9.1Does the guide mention you have to use that compiler? Some guides are focused on different compilers..

There are more patient and serious guides out there..I THINK you may also need to include the STDLIB library as well. Add "#include " just below or just above the other one. Or maybe try replacing "printf" with "puts"

Hi All..
I'm new as you can see.. I don't even know if I'm in the right area. But I will post and see if I'm even in the general area.
ok.. here it goes..

One of my kids was on the computer. When I went to use it.. I right click and scroll either up and down on the dropboxes.. only my dropboxes are "invisible" until I scroll over them. I don't know how this setting got "on" but I do so HATE it..
Can someone help me?
I would very MUCH be greatful for it if you did.
Thank you. DQ :-/
Have you scanned for spyware and VIRUSES?

Ask your children what they have done. Use force if necessary.Hi Raptor,
ACTUALLY my 6 year old has no idea what he did. And he really didn't mean to do it as he was clicking with the mouse.

This did happen once before about a month after I got my computer. I was able to find the issue and fix it but all be darned if I can remember how!! :-/

I know it's fixable, I just can't remember....
Thanks anyways!Maybe it's not invisible but instead a part of the spirit realm.. as a psychic you should contact it and ask it to come back or something.Joleen has a good point there. It may be HAUNTED by undeadware.

Have you tried sprinkling holy water on your monitor? The flashing effect means that the spirits have now been driven out.

I am a BEGINNER on C programming and an error message (underlined) that I have typed on the below program is not working....can anyone help please???
I am solving a quadratic equation the -b +/- root(b*b-4ac)/2a. If b*b is less than 4ac then there are no real roots so I need an error message. So i have made the bracket (f) and said that if it is less than zero the error message should come up....but its not! Any help would be grateful!!!



#include
#include
int MAIN() {
FLOAT a, b ,c, d, e, f, root, x1,x2, b2;
printf("Enter a: ");
scanf("%f",&a);
printf("Enter b: ");
scanf("%f",&b);
printf("Enter c: ");
scanf("%f",&c);
b2 = pow(b,2);
d = (4*a*c);
f = (b2-d);

if(f<0) {
printf("Error - no real roots!\n"); /*Error messaging*/
return 0;
}
root = sqrt(f);
e = root/(2*a);
x1 = ((-b)+e);
x2 = ((-b)-e);
printf("Solution=%f\n",x1);
printf("Solution=%f\n",x2);
return 0;
}
wel i understand your problem , the small thing that is missing in your code is
" #INCLUDE header FILE because of which you are unable to calculate..
1>. " sqrt " function.

2>. " Pow " function so are getting unexpected RESULTS..

i am pasting the correct code , just check it out

#include
#include
#include
int main()
{
float a,b,c,d,e,f,root,x1,x2,b2;
printf("enter a: ");
scanf("%f",&a);
printf("enter b :");
scanf("%f",&b);
printf("enter c: ");
scanf(" %f",&c);
b2=b*b;
d=(4*a*c);
f=(b2-d);
printf("the value of F is = %f",f);
if(f<0)
{
printf(" error - no real root") ;
return 0;
}

root = sqrt(f);
e=root/(2*a);
x1=((-b)+e);
x2=((-b)-e);
printf("solution =%f\n",x1);
printf("solution =%f\n",x2);
return 0;

}I know nothing about C. That said, I used the Tiny C Compiler and your code works just dandy.
