Hi everyone, I NEED to use the Printer.Orientation method using the vbPRORLandscape value (2), but I obtain a RUNTIME error nº 380.

I'm running my application in Windows XP. I have been read that exist some INCOMPATIBLE issue between XP and this API but I haven't found anything.

Best Regards

VB Express 2005

How do I create a text file and then output variables to it? I found an example but it will only create the text file and the rest won't work. I don;t know where that code went to anyway.One way would be to use a StreamWriter object:

Code: [Select]Using SW As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter("c:\temp\TestFile.txt")
sw.Writeline("This is line 1")
sw.Writeline("This is line 2")
sw.Writeline("This is line 3")
sw.Writeline("This is line 4")
sw.WriteLine(DateTime.Now)
sw.close()
End Using

For my own information, do the Express versions COME with Help?

Good LUCK.
yes. I try it but the examples don't ALWAYS work for me. actually they rarely work properly.

thank you.LOL. I don't know all the errors in VB bu it says type 'streamwriter' is not defined.Sorry for the confusion. You also need to add these two lines your declaration section:

Code: [Select]Imports System
Imports System.IO

The examples don't always work for me either.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. lol

Has anyone here used SkinCrafter with VB.NET 2008 before? I have the DEMO version and wanted to see how it works. You would think the actual site would be of any help, but alas it is not. So I turn to my only hope, which is here. Anyway, how do I go about implementing SkinCrafter into the Toolbox components. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. Any help would be great.Quote

During installing Disc 1 that you suggested, this is what was installed:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 64bit Prerequisites (x64)
Microsoft Document Explorer 2005
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
.NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP3
.NET Compact Framework 2.0
Microsoft Visual J# 2.0 Redistributable Package
SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition
Microsoft Device Emulator Version 1.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Remote Dubugger (x64)
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK (x64)

So it wanted me to go online and install 2 things, which is Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 and Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista....

Now do you think I'll ever need SQL or the MSDN for this program at all? I mean what are the purposes of those? If you don't mind me asking.

A trip to Windows Update is in order. From a security standpoint, you need to keep your machine current. Then try installing disc 2 again.

Remove Visual Studio 2005 by using Add or Remove Programs
1.In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.

Note To manually open this Control Panel item, click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl in Open box, and then click OK.
2.In the Currently installed programs list, click Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and then click Change/Remove. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
3.Note This step is optional. You do not have to remove this component. Additionally, this component might not have been included in the original installation of Visual Studio 2005.

Remove Visual Studio 2005 from the Microsoft Windows Installer cache. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type installer in the Open box, and then click OK.
b. On the View menu in Windows Installer, click Details.
c. Right-click the Name column header, and then click Comments.
d. Right-click the cached Windows Installer file that has the Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office System 2005 Runtime RTL X86 enu comment, and then click Uninstall.
e. Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall this package.

I did all of what was asked above. Now do I want to see if there are any required updates for windows?

Heck don't even know if I installed the first disc right

Now how do I go about reinstalling what's on disc 2 when it's a continue disc from disc 1...

When the first disc finished doing everything, it never asked me to put in disc 2, so I took out disc 1 and went ahead and put in disc 2.

Feature Selection
Select the program feaures you want installed
click an icon in the following list to change how a feature is installed
Client Components
SQL Server native Client SDK

This appears to be the client side (local machine) of SQL. Try following the directions by clicking an icon. At least you'll see how the feature will be installed. For now just take the defaults, based on all the prompts and windows you're getting, should be a piece of cake to change things later.

I went ahead and did the SQL Server 64-bit

Finally i solved the problem following the next steps:

1. Uninstall native client using add/remove programs on control panel.
2.Try to install SQL Server Again.

I tried al least 3 times but at the end it works.

Thank you for the support.

About the other solutions none worked

The "Installing Prerequisites" stage of the installer installs the incorrect version of the SQL Native Client. Immediately after the "Installing Prerequisites" stage (but before the rest of the installation process), follow any of the above advice to download/extract the sqlncli_x64.msi file, go to the control panel and remove the "Microsoft SQL Native Client", and then install the newly downloaded/extracted msi instead. When that's done, you should be able to go through the end of the installtion process without too much more difficulty.

Crystal Reports AAC60-G0CSA4B-V7000AY
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005

Now what help files are you talking about? Ha ha!

Did you check the add/remove program applet? Was SQL Server installed? Did you have to remove it? Did you download and install a new sqlncli_x64.msi? Does the SQL Native client show as installed in add/remove programs? Please be more precise when posting what you have done.

If I understand correctly, you wanted me to remove the previous version of SQL server, and then install the new sqlncli_x64.msi, and then pop in SQL Server 2005 Developer 1

Ummm im trying to LEARN c++ but im stuck on a problem. how can i make a triangle look like this

* *
** **
*** ***
**** ****
***** *****
************
***** *****
**** ****
*** ***
** **
* *

using loops in c++? I've been trying to do it but i cant SEEM to get it. So help would be greatly appreciated. Like this? (This is what you typed, shown in monospaced font) There are actually 4 triangles in that figure.

Code: [Select]* *
** **
*** ***
**** ****
***** *****
************
***** *****
**** ****
*** ***
** **
* *
I am guessing not. You have not described the problem very precisely. Is it homework?

The continuous line in the middle has 12 asterisks so I will assume your pattern is meant to be 12 characters wide, and that you need to successively show 11 lines of text that consist of:

a number A of asterisks - a number S of spaces - the same number A of asterisks

If the display is 12 chars wide and you assume 1 character step in size

Then A - S - A will be:

1 asterisk 10 spaces 1 asterisk
2 asterisks 8 spaces 2 asterisks
3 asterisks 6 spaces 3 asterisks
4 asterisks 8 spaces 4 asterisks
5 asterisks 2 spaces 5 asterisks
6 asterisks 0 spaces 6 asterisks
5 asterisks 2 spaces 5 asterisks
4 asterisks 8 spaces 4 asterisks
3 asterisks 6 spaces 3 asterisks
2 asterisks 8 spaces 2 asterisks
1 asterisk 10 spaces 1 asterisk

Now all you have to do is think of an algorithm to generate that sequence of numbers or rather such a sequence for any given width of pattern. Study the figures and you will see a pattern. Then use writeln to do the lines.

the figure basically looks like the head of an axe. Two triangles point to point. it looks weird and i apologize for that. i know the code for it is suppose to be relativly short, so my 2 page long code DOESNT seem right.Pseudocode:

produce square figure (equal height & width)

H=height
W=width
W=H
for n=1 to (H/2) step 1 (
print n stars, print W - (2*n) spaces, print n stars
)

for n=( (H/2)-1) to 1 step -1 (
print n stars, print W - (2*n) spaces, print n stars
)

Seriously- we aren't here to DO the homework for you, we're here to help- and I think all the information you need was provided in previously posted answers.

WE? I appreciate the help that I got from the previous posts. I was just looking for somewhere to start from.

Is there any PIECE of code I can add to a command button that CAUSES an EFFECT like the "Nudge" in MSN Messenger. I the code can be either Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic.Net.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,
Cameron Grayusing the MOVE method of the form one can change the location of the window very quickly. For example, in the command button store the current Left and Top properties, then BEGIN a loop that uses the Move method, the stored values and random numbers to shake the window.

Dear Sir

I want to records which is displaying in DIFFERENT objects. I have used below code, but doesn't work properly.

Private Sub cmddelete_Click()
Dim i As Integer
i = MsgBox("REALLY want to delete?", vbYesNo, "Delete OPTION")
If i = vbOK Then
rst.Delete adAffectCurrent
End If
End Sub

Please COME back at your earliest.

Dear Sir

I have used below coding to display specific record from the database.
The problem is, when I click on command BUTTON, it is displaying only one record from the database. Though there are other records. I have tried a lot, please see my coding in below:

Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset

Private Sub cmdshow_Click()
frmpurchaseqty.Visible = False
SSTab1.Visible = True
DBconnect
If rst.State = adStateOpen Then rst.Close
rst.Open "tblpurchasesupplyqty", CNT, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If Not rst.EOF Then rst.MoveNext
If cmbsupplier.Text = rst.Fields(5) And cmbitemref.Text = rst.Fields(6) And DTPicker1.Value = rst.Fields(3) Then
With rst
frmpurchaseqty.cmbitem.Text = .Fields(0)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbbrand.Text = .Fields(1)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbpurchaseqty.Text = .Fields(2)
frmpurchaseqty.purchasedt.Value = .Fields(3)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbpurchaseqty.Text = .Fields(4)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbsuppliername.Text = .Fields(5)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbitemrefno.Text = .Fields(6)
frmpurchaseqty.cmbsupplierrefno.Text = .Fields(7)
'chkwarrenty.Value = .Fields(
frmpurchaseqty.cmdwrrenty.Caption = .Fields(
frmpurchaseqty.warrentyvoiddt.Value = .Fields(9)
End With
End If
End Sub
assuming you have successfully create the connection and rst object.
to iterate the recordset, pseudocode as below:

Code: [Select]while not rst.eof
msgbox rst.field(0)
rst.movenext

Thanks for your prompt response.

I have tried with your given code earlier but can't understand in which place I should place it.

Would you please let me know?

Hello, Im trying to MAKE a VERY simple application that will draw a castle on the screen (still adding more stuff to it) for a school assignment, but when im working on it in my IDE (netbeans) or any other IDE for that matter, it seems to only run when IT wants to, for example, i can click the run and get this: (good)



or this: (bad)


Note that i can make NO changes to the file, run it again, and get a different result from the previous run, is there any way to fix this? or what is the cause of it.

I have the latest JAVA JDK installed on my computer btw.I've never heard of anything like this happening..
I can only suggest basic troubleshooting, trying to work out what is different when it works or doesn't.
You could also try reinstalling everything and seeing if that helps.Im thinking its cuz im using the Turtle help file that my teacher gave us, because it does the same thing on school COMPUTERS (using TextPad), and it happens when I use JBuilder, and even Netbeans on my computer at home, one sec and i can GIVE the code for the turtle file, but it is quite large. (for a post) lol

Note: It has to be something wrong in the turtle file, because it happens no matter what kind of application i try to write with it, even when i start from scratch it does it.

Turtle file:

Just a note, I am using the most current version of Java. Since the Turtle file is old, I'm thinking that perhaps that is causing some issues?This thread can be closed, I fixed problem by adding a sleep command to the start of my code, for some reason that makes it work 100% every time lol.Excellent one of the many mysteries of the universe solved. lol

As the title entails, I'd like to know if there's any better IDE than Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. The DEBUG mode LAGS to *censored*, and once it even disconnected me from the internet. Maybe that was just my ROUTER resetting itself... again... Also, builds take forever and sometimes it even crashes on me when I have a loooong code >_>; I've already tried Dev-C++ and it didn't really work out too well xD. Anyways, a little help please? =/Check out the link, it has all major C++ IDE's free and proprietary.

Version six isn't laggy at all. Ctrl+Alt+T shows up instantly, just like VB6's Ctrl+J.

now the .NET environments, on the other hand...

what the heck is "VBS 2008"

OK, I'm using a langauge that most of you won't know (GML - Game Maker Language), and two of the commands are lengthdir_x(length,direction) and lengthdir_y(length,direction). For _x, it gives the following definition:
Returns the horizontal x-component of the vector determined by the indicated length and direction.

Um.. so can anyone translate that so I COULD UNDERSTAND?Try this..

Lots more info on the Weird & Wonderful Web (aka WWW)

Good luckThanks, Dusty. I'll look into that, and (hopefully) I should be using lengthdir in no time.Gaming Master Apprentice

Oxymoron EH.....?

Well, I've learnt how to use lengthdir now, just from one look at the diagram (I didn't read through the WHOLE thing), so my game making skills have progressed.

Now, I can do code such as:
instance_create(x+lengthdir_x(20,image_angle),y+lengthdir_y(9,image_angle),shot), where the shot will always be create from exactly where your gun is, no matter which way you face.

So yeh.Good to HEAR of your progress, look forward to you posting your completed game and letting us know where to have a go.

Cheers.

is there a way to make a Visual basic form or w/e that will aoutomatically click in a certain spot on the screen?LIKE i would define points in on the screen where to click and it would click there, then in like 10 seconds it would click ANOTHER point. Like in the code TYPE pixel NUMBERS for where to click; (480,272) then click (480,300) or something like that.

Hi,

I am new to this domain.

What's exactly is "Microsoft SDK".

Have a bit of knowledge of Visual Studio.
Its the Windows compiler, now how does SDK fit into the picture.

Thanksread this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Platform_SDKThanks,

Will get back after reading.Back,

It might be simple for other people, but since i am not from programming background its giving me some trouble.

Its sounds similar to Visual Studio, then how do i differentiate between them.

ThanksYou can't compare Visual Studio and the Microsoft Platform SDK. VS is an IDE and the second is a SDK.
So you will usually still need an IDE like VS if you want to CREATE programs using the Microsoft Platform SDK. Thanks,

Things look like to getting in place,

Just correct me if i am wrong.

IDE (VS) CONTAINS the compiler and you can't get AHEAD without it.

SDK on the other hand is required only when you need to complex programming pertaining to a particular system, as it contains API's and binaries pertaining to that type of system.Almost correct.
A SDK can contain a compiler and an IDE doesn't always have a compiler.
Visual studio have the compiler necessary for working with the Microsoft SDK, but the SDK also contains a compiler (in case you're working with an IDE that doesn't have it.)

If we were talking about Java, the IDEs you would usually work with like Netbeans or Eclipse, don't have a compiler but rely on you installing the SDK from SUN.

So an SDK is a collection of APIs, (often) a compiler, debugging tools and miscellaneous tools.

The IDE gives you a development environment with a editor that knows the syntax of the language you're working with, integrated debugging tools, (SOMETIMES) a compiler, tools that ease compiling, etc.Wow,

That was it.

Thanks for that majestic explanation.

got a list which CONTAIN the date and TIME for my windows logging.
each interval time is APPROX 3mins.
after i manually calculate,found that in 24hrs ,certain time, the windows failed to log.
how to find the missing log?
it got thounsands over logs,which i can't CHECK it one by one.
can i just with a formula and find the log?
any language,application....?

example of my log:
17/08/2007 05:13:55

you want to find the missing intervals in the log file, or are you asking how to find out why its not logging?
i want to find out how many time it FAIL to log.

You'll need to use the Windows API. Check out this technique for Always On Top

Good luck.

I want to learn to hack so that I can hack into my own machines. I have three computer sitting here and one is begging to to be used. Can someone give me some tips on hacking so that I can hack my poor little lonely computer. I have no intentions of getting involved in malicious activity. I just want to boost my programming intelligence. HELLLP! Can someone also tell me why it is SAID that Linux is better for learning to hack than windows IN DETAIL. Oh yeah, feel free to break things down as if you are explaining things to a guy who has been locked in a 3-wall room with no media access for 20 years.Advising you on hacking on an OPEN forum would be like printing the info in a daily newspaper for all to read. Besides I'm sure it would be against forum rules.

You may not wish to engage in any malicious activity, others may.

im TRYING to grab one field from a table(HBATE.BATE), can placing it to another table(ATL)...like join/merge one UNIQUE field with another table...im having problems...i made this query...and its saying
the query...

SELECT bate, val, doc, BREAK, TASK, PATH
FROM ATL INNER JOIN HBATES
ON ATL.bate = HBATES.BATE;

this is the error i get
"the specified 'bate' could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of your SQL statement"

can ANYONE TELL me what im doing wrong??
Try defining the table source of the bate field in the select statement:

Code: [Select]SELECT atl.bate, val, doc, BREAK, TASK, PATH
FROM ATL INNER JOIN HBATES
ON ATL.bate = HBATES.BATE;

OR

Code: [Select]SELECT hbates.bate, val, doc, BREAK, TASK, PATH
FROM ATL INNER JOIN HBATES
ON ATL.bate = HBATES.BATE;

By defining two tables in the FROM clause with same name fields, simply using the unqualified bate field name is ambiguous.

Good luck.

Hi there,

I'm working on a little project with a friend of mine, that is supposed to end up with being an online BOOKING system for a FESTIVAL. Therefore there's some economics INVOLVED in this, like how many PEOPLE are going to sleep there and for how long etc.

We're then trying to display this equation, so it's easy to see what they pay for and how much. But I simply do not know how to do that. It should look something like this:


Anyways, I'm pretty much hardcoding it, though I had NetBeans set up the frame for me, and then I manually changed all the code afterwards to make sure it was just like I wanted it to be (using GroupLayout). I'm using the javax.swing.* package if that's any help?

I've tried to display it in a JTextArea, but I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Any good IDEAS?

hey all,

I'm trying to write a vb script that will copy a batch file to another Pc across my network.

This is what i have so far but it doesn't work and keeps pointing the copyfile line as a reason for the failer, but tbh i can't see where it's going wrong.

any ideas???


Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click
Dim fso
CONST OverwriteExisting = True
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.CopyFile("C:\batch\remote.bat", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\remote.bat", OverwriteExisting)
MessageBox.Show("Transfer Complete")
VBScript or VB.Net?

Try something like this for VBScript:

Code: [Select]Dim fso
Const OverwriteExisting = True
SET fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.CopyFile "C:\batch\remote.bat", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\remote.bat", OverwriteExisting
MessageBox.Show("Transfer Complete")

I'm guessing input and output paths are correct. cheers for the reply,

in answer to UR question vb script.

i get a (ctl_e_permissiondenied) error.

I have no idea as to how to GAIN access of the remote machine.

If this where dos i'd use

net use \\10.1.0.100 /user:me spottydog
copy c:\batch\remote.bat \\10.1.0.100\c$\remote.bat
pause

but since i moved over to vbscript today i'm finding it hard to get the commands i require in.

any help is very much appreciated. You can duplicate the batch code, but you'll need a network object exposed so you can use the MapNetworkDrive method:

Code: [Select]Dim fso, WshNetwork
Const OverwriteExisting = True
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\"

fso.CopyFile "C:\batch\remote.bat", "X:\remote.bat", OverwriteExisting
MessageBox.Show("Transfer Complete")

I used drive X: arbitrarily, change it if you wish. Note that the remote machine must be up and running, presumably with File & Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks activated.

Good luck.

Normally I'd ping the other machine to see it's availability, but that requires the Windows Management Interface which will only complicate things right now.thanks.

Have done as requested but i now get "unauthorizedAccessException was unhandled" error.

It seems to be having problems with the permissions on both machines, i'm logged on as admin on both so i can't see why.

can i add a /user:me spottydog line in somewhere here?

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\"

any more ideas?Forgot about the name and password:

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\" ,, me, spottydog

Questions:

Are you using wscript or cscript?

Which line in the script threw the error?

Can you ping 10.1.0.100 from the command prompt?

The reason I ask is that "unauthorizedAccessException was unhandled" is a rather odd error coming from VBScript. Might be permissions. Can you run a directory listing on X: if you map it manually with net use?

Let us know. thanks again for replying,

I have put the;

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\" ,, me, spottydog - line in, but

,, me, spottydog become's , , me, spottydog and it tell me that it not valid.

I am able to ping it from a prompt (actual pc i'm post from now)

The line that threw the error was this very line (before the ,, me, spottydog bit)

?Sometimes I amaze myself with my carelessness. Literals need to be quoted. I promise to write that on the board 100 times.

WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$\" ,, "me", "spottydog"

With any luck that should work. right,

I've added the quotes but it still wont copy anything.

This is what i have;

Dim fso, WshNetwork
Const OverwriteExisting = True
WshNetwork = CreateObject("wscript.network")
fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
WshNetwork.mapnetworkdrive("x:", "\\10.1.0.100\c$", , "username", "password")
fso.CopyFile("C:\batch\remote.bat", "x:\remote.bat", OverwriteExisting)
MessageBox.Show("Transfer Complete")

The red line brings up an error saying "access is denied", but i know that the username and password to be right.

have i got them the wrong way round???

I have checked and i can map to 10.1.0.100\c$ from a run box, (windows does ask for the guest password - which i don't know!)

cheers again for ur helpQuote

i apologize if i am stepping on anyones toes with this message, i am just beginning to LEARN about "threads" and all this other fun stuff. my question is does anyone know what PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE motorola uses in their cell phones. I want access to the software in my phone and i was wondering if anyone out there could help me?Do you mean access as in reverse engineering the software on it? Or do you just want to make PROGRAMS for your phone?I dont want to engineer it necessarily, rather i want to look at the code that verizon updates and i want to understand what effect they have via their software updates on the effectiveness of my phone. Well, I Googled Motorola "programming language", and found this. Is it helpful at all?

hey all,

I've written a program in VB.net.

Most of the commands it runs are in dos and VB calls the relevent batch files to complete.

I'm LOOKING for the command to pop a " messagebox.show ("Commands Completed") " message once the the batch file has finished.

My mate saids there is an extention that goes on the end of the shell command below;

(whole form)

Public Class Formecho

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Buttechorun.Click
Dim printerChoice As String

If RadButHp.Checked = True Then
printerChoice = "b"
Else
printerChoice = "a"

End If
Shell("\\swnfs01\home\blastman\batch\new\echo.bat " + printerChoice + " " + ipDetails.Text)
'MessageBox.Show("Echo Commands Completed")

End Sub

Private Sub Formecho_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

End Sub


any ideas?

maybe somthing in the bacth to say it's finished is needed??

I need a windows boot log, so that everytime my system booting up,
there is a boot log file stored in C drive for every clycle.
example:
29/08/07 12.00a.m
29/08/07 12.30a.m

But i really don't know where to start,i'm not familiar in windows environment.
Needs your help.
thanks.You didn't mention your OS.

Start==>Run==>MSCONFIG

Click the boot.ini tab then click the /bootlog checkbox under Boot Options. This will create a bootlog.txt in the root directory of the boot drive.

You could use any spreadsheet or DATABASE program to analyze the log.

Good luck. so when i open the bootlog.ini under C:,
i can see the date and time when the system booting up?

i hope win2K and VISTA have the same options too.does them?Here is the definition of the Win.XP Boot.ini /bootlog option:

Causes Windows to write a log of the boot to the file %SystemRoot%\Ntbtlog.txt.

hi i'm new to python and i'm trying to make a calculator. It's PURPOSE is to calculate the price of a certain number of UNITS of a product.

Code: [Select]s1 = int(raw_input ("How many units do you need? "))
s2 = int(raw_input ("What is the price per unit? "))
print "The total price for the total number of units is" + (s1*s2)

please tell me why it won't WORK

thanks
frankly, you can just run in with the Python interpreter and it will show you why it won't work. I have found the fault using the interpreter. i want you to try that too..

plz help!!!!!
thanks in advance!!!!!

just a quick question. I made a computer program in VISUAL Basic.net for my sci fair and the judges thought it was bog standard code! How can I (if possible) prove it wasn't? (and it really wasn't, it took me 3 months to write!)From what I could FIND out, bog standard code is defined as something ordinary or basic, but often in a dismissive or derogatory way. Not knowing what your program does or what wow factor the judges were LOOKING for, it's hard to say what you could do in this situation.

Perhaps you could use this as a learning experience for next year. In the long run you CAME out ahead anyway....you learned VB.NET!

I wonder if Bones92 meant that the judges thought that his code was example code cribbed from a VB examples or tutorial site or other source or copied out of a book.

The best way to show that code is yours, in my opinion, is to document it thoroughly, (plenty of remarks) know it inside out, keep early draft and test versions to demonstrate the development process, and write a kind of 'lab REPORT' detailing how you wrote the code and why you did it the way you did.

What did you mean, Bones92?

i heard from one of the teachers in charge they thought my code was just that: example code that had been changed a bit. As it was a science fair, i did have logs of everything i had done and when I wrote it, plenty of remarks, three flow charts detailing how the program ran... and they thought it was all something nicked of a tutorial site. (even though the program when run told the user I had made it.) Maybe because I acknowledged the MSDN library in my evaluation? (but I had too, MSDN tought me how to program lol)This happens. Just goes to show the poor standard of knowledge that many science fair judges have. There's not really any way you can prove it's your code. They are going to believe what they are going to believe. At least you know it's yours and you know you can do it again. Which means you can improve on it. Don't let them get you down. Just keep plugging away and keep improving your skill set.I think that what the judges may have meant was, not that you plagiarized your code, but that the project concept was one which you might find on a code demo site, or a thousand other places, that it was not sufficiently unusual or original, even if you did write all the code yourself.

I'm trying to make a menu just to get the HANG of making them, and I'm running into a problem. Here's basically what I have so far...
@ECHO OFF

ECHO.

ECHO Welcome to Selection Paradise

The problem is everytime I try to test run it, it gives me the "(blank) is not recognized as an internal or EXTERNAL command.... yada yada yada.
In this instance it says it about CHOICE. What am I doing wrong? How can I resolve this ISSUE? I've looked all over the internet for HELP but can't really find anything to correct it. Any help would be great.Put quotes around Choose Browser:

Hello,

I am trying to detect whether a file is a PE or not, as I KNOW there are many ways to do that here is how I want to check:
I want it to read the first few characters of the file if they are MZ then my program will consider them PE's ?
Is this a reliable method ?
Actually wat I am looking for is a technique that detects all the PE but may (by accident) classify a file as a PE When its really not.

As FAR as the Code goes I am fine I just need to know if this is technicly correct ?

Thanks

Al968This file would be detected as executable by your method but it is not ;-)

All Windows executable files begin with a MS-DOS executable stub, so we first test for a valid MS-DOS executable using information from the MS-DOS program header that is present in every executable file. We then check for markers for a 16 bit or 32 bit Windows executable or for a virtual device driver (VXD). If we establish the file is a Windows executable we look for information that determines whether the file is an application or is a DLL. A review of the MS-DOS, Windows NE (16 bit) and PE (32 bit) executable file formats leads us to note the following:

* All DOS program files (and therefore Windows executables) begin with a "magic number"; the word value $5A4D ("MZ" in ASCII).

* We use the DOS header to check that the file length exceeds or is equal to the minimum length of the DOS executable and that the offset of the DOS relocation table lies within the file.

* Windows executables have a header record WHOSE offset in the file is given by the long word at offset $3C.

* The Windows header begins with a "magic number" word whose value INDICATES whether this is a 16bit (NE format) or 32 bit (PE format) executable or a virtual device driver (LE format). The word is $454E ("NE" in ASCII), $4550 ("PE") or $454C ("LE").

* 32 bit Windows executables have an "image header" immediately following the $4550 magic number. This header structure has a Characteristics field which is a bit mask. If the bit mask contains the flag IMAGE_FILE_DLL then the file is a DLL, otherwise it is a program file.

* 16 bit Windows programs have a byte sized field at offset $0D from the start of the Windows header which is a bit mask providing information about the file. If this field contains the flag $80 then the file is a DLL, otherwise it is a program.

is the "magic" number that stated PE on the second line of the program ?

how can i make a file for that my app opens? like....
".swd" which stands for "saved website data".if you are doing your own application, just make sure you code reading and writing for/to files with extension .swd. Otherwise, i don't understand what you want.i got the file format down. i need it to when you double click it, it opens the file in my APP instead of just opening the app.see here for referenceit doesn't RELATE to my problem. im trying to make it when i double click a ttxt file, my app opens the txt file in its self, not just open the app.what does you app do exactly..? what kind of app is that.? normally when you double click a text file, either notepad or wordpad (at LEAST i know notepad is default on my machine) opens the text file right? Now you want your app to open it correct? You have to associate the text file to be opened with your app instead of notepad/or whatever app. Also, notepad knows how to open the text file, does you app know? anyway, if you are still STUCK after trying to associate, post whatever you can post , eg your code or others so ppl can help you. I think i get what you mean, right click go to open with then there is a box you can CHECK ALLWAYS open with this pro..........

Thank for helping.... There are plenty of online tutorials you can try...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=how+to+learn+php
(Google search took less than a second to perform.)

But I think the best method is to actually take a class on it.You should try this website: www.w3schools.com. It has loads of tutorials on PHP, HTML, XML, JavaScript, and lots of others.

You actually have to download and install PHP on your computer first. You can do this at: www.php.net.

Happy programming!amazon.com has a lot of great php books.
The book that gave me my jump start was "PHP/MySQL Programming for the Absolute Beginner" by Andy Harris. But any other BEGINNING php book would do just as well.
I had played AROUND with php for a few months before I got a book and hadn't learned much but after I bought ONE, I figured out tons of stuff.

Hi

Im not too techno jargon minded so please go easy on me

I had some bespoke software desinged a few years back which basically allows me to ammend my website offline via a program made up of FORMS - the website is www.lakesandvalleys.co.uk (not the best written site in world but thats another issue )

The software basically converts the info I input to update the html files within the folder, then i upload the full folder with updated html files, images ETC.

The program software seems to be a .csv file run in excel, i click on a program called webupdate which has TASC after it (where you would get HTML document, BAS etc) in the folder are also the following webupdate files

webupdate.bas
webupdate.frx
webupdate.vbw
webupdate.frm
webupdate.vbp

As far as i know these are basically what create the program and if i fill in the forms within the software i basically create a new webpage in html without having to use any coding.

In past have managed to fix run time errors - often if changed Pc and not put the folder in C drive it causes problems.

Been PLAYING up all week so downloaded all the files off the server onto PC and it worked for a few days, then suddenly get run time error 5 message again. What i did notice and thought strange was the files and html pages downloaded off the server wernt as upto date as what the actual website was, couldnt understand this as assume the website displays the most recent version of a file uploaded onto the server.

Any ideas why i get the errors, am sure years ago fixed it once with a VB patch but again thats not worked, even tried registery mechanic which claims to fix run time errors and no joy.

The person who wrote the software lacks serious customer care always did, as soon as had the money that was it, and constantly had to chase him if had any problems (just did a search for his name/company and found a bad/unpaid debt listed from 2004.... need i say more)

Any help would be really appreciated as have come to a dead end

Thanks

Martindont know if it helps but even when go into BACKED up folder on usb pen and external h/d the software still plays up - not sure if fault/virus on PC (running kaspersky, spy dr, some freebie firewall, registery mechanic so unlikely??)

However just to confuse things tried it on laptop reading files off usb pen and works fine, could it be a virus or similar that has removed SOMETHING on my PC as both run xp?

Hi all,

I need to know if anybody knows how to send system information by email with Visual Basic 6, such as windows version, version make, etc... The reason I need such weird code is that, my aunt that lives in Germany wants me to help her to find what windows version she is running, she dosent know how to copy and paste, much less bring up her system information, and she speaks broken ENGLISH so she dosent understand when I TELL her 'Open Control Panel.' I figure, if I COULD send her a program that sends me the information, I won't have to talk her through it over the phone for an hour. I can program VB6 at an intermediate LEVEL, but I can't understand how you would send information through email

Form2.Show(Form2)the error is quite intuitive. if you GIVE one argument to hide() and it complains of too many arguments, then don't give it any arguments... try that.
as much as i hate to say this, but, since you are a newbie, you should go get a book on vb and read/learn how to use vb first. (or search the internet if you can't get any vb BOOKS). great it makes sence - EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT WOULDNT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE ARGUMENT. how would it hide this if i take off the code that TELLS it to hide? and as far as books im not spending money on books at this point. i hardly know if i like visual basic, i wouldnt go out and spend all the money i have on a book about it. As i said i tried searching the web for this and didnt understand what people said.Quote from: gamerx365 on July 17, 2007, 03:56:25 PM
