• Visual Basic Console textbox

  What is the best way to make a textbox behave like a console (command prompt) I have a System.IO.StringWriter that gets text appended to it. I can display the output of this in a textbox but the string grows bigger and bigger (i don't care about old stuff just a couple screens of the recent stuff) and anytime the textbox changes it is scrolled to the top, not at the bottom where the new text is located. This is what I have now but it's terrible: Private Sub ConsoleRefreshTimer_Tick( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ConsoleRefreshTimer.Tick If ab.ToString.Length > 6000 Then 'i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development infrared!

  Hi. I want to be able to send data (hex codes or whatever) using the infrared ports. I have imported the System.Net.Irda reference and able to access the IR classes. However, I do not wish to connect to a device but rather send data. The device I am sending data to will be a dumb device really, just as a "reciever"... this can be a remote control recieving box or a TV IR reciever for example. IS it possible to do this how I cannot seem to find a way in the .NET classes as it seems you have to connect to the destination then write data to the stream. Thanks! You will not be able to communicate with a TV IR receiver through your standard ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get last index of combobox

  Hi all, how could i get the last index of the item being selected by using ComboBox during the items being added to the combo box control since the last index of the combo box is depends on variance number, it was hard to get the last index of the combo box item being selected by default.

• Visual Basic Extracting Variables from Strings and Event for a Tabchange in a TabControl

  I have a program that is meant to take a user defined string (ex. x2 + 2x + 1) and divide it, and then store those values (the coefficents of x); there is a practically indefinite number of numbers in the coefficient. I've looked at the String.Split Method, but I don't understand it very well nor do I believe it's very practical when you have to keep splitting each variable to get the coefficient. Is there an easier way to the the opposite of concatenation --- Unrelated to my previous question, I also need to have some things(generate a MsgBox and set variable values) when the tab of a tab control is changed. I've read about what I ...Show All

• Windows Forms Clickonce vs. Updater Application Block

  We have a rather large ERP system in .NET that we are writing.  After considerable performance tuning, we have our main forms loading in 4 to 5 seconds on first load and and .5 seconds on second load.  Obviously we are taking a big hit on the jit compiling and began looking at the new 2.0 ngen to see if that will increase performance.  Ok, here is our problem.  After adding clickonce to our application we learn that you can not use ngen and clickonce together.  This now has us looking at the Updater Application Block.  Can anyone here give us any advise on the pro's and cons of the Updater Application Block as ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerializer deadlock/timeout in .NET 2.0

  I have experienced problems with the XmlSerializer in my application. Instantiating it causes a 10 minute timeout because the csc process seems to be deadlocked. The error is new since .NET 2.0. The problem only occurs in a slave process, not in any of the main processes which are started directly as services or from the shell. So what special about the slave process It's a .NET console application started fom a .NET service with Process.Start(), ShellExecute = false and RedirectStandardInput = true. The slave process reads commands from the master process in a background thread with Console.ReadLine(). In another background thread a ...Show All
