    - PowerPoint SaveAs synchronized? Hi, I have a problem with powerpoints saveas during automation from VB.NET. I'm using ppt app to save several ppts to html and to gif. Despite using the app from separate threads (in MTA) looking at my log it seems that saveas is synchronized, meaning no other request to the ppt app is being processed till the file is not saved. Is this really how Powerpoint application works, or maybe my harddisk is that slow If so, is there any workaround for achieving async i/o for ppt's saveas Thanks, Bitula Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition A few questions Visual Studio Express Editions

    - turning a "textbox" into a "numberbox" Okay, I bet this has probly been asked times before, and answered for that matter, and it's probly in the help files somewhere where I didn't check, but I just cannot find the answer. I am trying to use textboxes so that a user can input a number to use in a calculation. Unfortunately, a textbox cannot be converted to a decimal. Which leads me to my problem. Here's my coding (little snippets, anyway): Dim Vf, t, Vi, a As Decimal Dim d As Decimal If Dkn.Checked = True Then d = CDec (dval) If Tkn.Checked = True Then t = CDec (Tval) If Vikn.Checked = True Then Vi = CDec (Vival) If Vfkn.Checked = True Then Vf = CDec (Vfval) If Akn.Checked = True Then a = CDec (Aval) dval, tval, Vival, Vfval, and Aval are all my textboxes. Don't stress out about the Dkn, Tkn, etc, those are all little radio buttons. Now, any help on this problem will be appreciated. I thank you for the help in advance.

    - serial port in C# (Overflow in hex? ASCII?) I wrote a C# program called SerialHex as a tool to read and write data in several common formats, including Hex and ASCII, to help test some serial devices that we were using for a robot. It is open source (GPL), so you can download the entire Visual Studio 2005 project from our club website: Download SerialHex Take a look at the ShowData function in Form1.cs to see how I converted a byte to several formats. Hope this helps! -Patrick McCarty Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition A few questions Visual Studio Express Editions

    - Why To Not Use Threading.Sleep in Your Application It's pretty well known that the webbrowser is not without problems. I've done a tabbed webbrowser in fact I'm typing on it now to you. It does frames fine and I promise you there is no Threading.sleep in the code. I've used it for a year now and and I've never seen a problem in it with framed pages. Could you point me to a page where you say I'd have problems It does absolutely fine on these pages: http://victorian.fortunecity.com/brambles/4/frames/ http://hem.passagen.se/ceel/frames/frames.htm Carsten, I've written mainframe disk drivers so of course I understand multi-threading. Because I've written mainframe disk drivers which was also a Cutler operating system, I find the multithreading environment so restrictive that I have never used it. You might be right and who could object to sleep(0) but I really can't comment on that environment since I've never played in it. At any rate, here people are not having problems at that level.

    - form transparent sometimes We are developing a windows application at the moment. I built the program successfully, and then copy them across to one of my colleague's computer for testing. Generally the program works fine, except sometimes my colleague can see through the form (see the background image) when he showed the menu dropdown menu items across the toolstrip and even click on the icons behind! This weird behavior of the program is not visible on my computer. Note I copied all the dll,exe,manifest files from the debug folder to his computer.

    - Need help sorting this out databases, arrays, for loops, etc I am trying to figure out the best way to do something: I have 2 datasets. One dataset is called Grid and the other is Coords. I want to do a For Each CurrentRecord As Datarow in Coords In this For Loop I want to subtract each CurrentRecord Value from each CurrentRecord value in Grids and out put them to an array So now I should have seperate arrays for each CurrentRecord value. ie example data/database setup Coords Table Record | X1 = 5 Record | X2 = 3 Record | X3 = 5 Record | X4 = 10 Grid Table Record | A = 1 Record | B = 2 Record | C =3 Record | D = 4 The out put after running the For Loop should be to this effect Array 1 X1 = 5-1 = 4 X1 = 5-2 = 3 X1 = 5-3 = 2 X1 = 5-4 = 1 Array 2 X2 = 3-1 = 2 X2 = 3-2 = 1 X2 = 3-3 = 0 X2 = 3-4 = -1 Array 3 X3 = 5-1 = 4 X3 = 5-2 = 3 X3 = 5-3 = 2 X3 = 5-4 =1 Array 4 X4 = 10-1 = 9 X4 = 10-2 = 8 X4 = 10-3 = 7 X4 = 10-4 = 6 Okay now that we have the data in an array I would like to run a IF Then statement (maybe) to find out which number is the lowest in each array Array 1 X1 = 5-4 = 1 Array 2 X2 = 3-4 = -1 Array 3 X3 = 5-4 =1 Array 4 X4 = 10-4 = 6 In this sample data all the arrays point to Grid D (this is only sample data and will not the the typical outcome). I want to either create a new array or dumb this into a new database table/xml file that X1 is D, X2 is D, X3 is D, X4 is D. I'll also do this for Y and Z, but they will be seperate in data. Anyone willing to help me get started with this Thanks Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition A few questions Visual Studio Express Editions

    - Of Pictureboxes, Transparency, Movement and Backgrounds Hi there, I am trying to make a picturebox move over another in a program - one, a stationary red arrow, the other a moving green arrow. When the green arrow picture box moves over the red, you can clearly see that the green picturebox is only *pretending* to be transparent; you can see that the green picturebox is filling the empty spaces with the form's colour, and that box moving over the arrow beneath it. Basically, it looks fairly unprofessional. Is there some way to fix this, so that you *only* see the green arrow moving over the red, and not the form's foreground colour with it I hope that made sense; please let me know if I need to clarify.

    - Visual Studio 2005 Express - how do i add and use active X controls? What I need to do is add an active x control to my project and use the methods from that active x control. I know how to use the object browser, add a COM component (although the one I need is missing from the list) and see it's methods. How do I add it to a form There's no Object Container control in VB2005. The help file says the Web control can be substituted 'in some cases'. I can use that and point the URL to the active x file I want to use, but then I have no way accessing its methods.

    - Bug?: Unwanted C4819 1. #pragma warning ( disable : 4003) applies to a Preprocessor warning and it works. I think you should try to disable the warning you don't like. (I can't verify it myself because I don't have anything that produces the 4819 warning.) No, #pragma warning(disable: 4819) does not work. If disabling 4003 works for Preprocessor, it is more like a bug now. I think maybe you meant that your source code is intended for compiling on different platforms. I write code like that too. But problems about different interpretations of the program-file character encodings (unless you store your program file in UTF-16 or UTF-8 and those are recognized properly by different platforms and compilers) are not something anyone can fix easily cross-platform. Yes, that is what I intended. The trick that used to work is carefully #ifdef. It does not work now. BTW, I've found another #pragma that should help here but does not. I added #pragma setlocale("english_usa.1252") to the beginning of the test program, and it still does not work. Tag: Visual Basic Express Edition A few questions Visual Studio Express Editions

End If

2. Kill all processed called "myapp.exe"

Dim x As New System.Diagnostics.Process()

x = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessByName("myapp.exe")

For Each pr As System.Diagnostics.Process In x
