Thank you Joacim, I think I finally understand what the book I was reading was trying to say. Very nice explanation about the closures as well. It seems that in almost all the threads I've created...

Thanks, but I did know all about that. I just wanted to know if the value of the integer (or some other value type) is ever stored on the heap or not and if it is then when is it stored on the heap...

Hi Milk and thank you for your reply. I'm not worried I just wanted to understand it.

What do you mean with "when they are instantiated within the body of a method"? Value types aren't...

Yes, I meant the latter. Update the progress bar within the loop. However you might not want to update it on every turn of the loop but perhaps every 10th or 100th time or something like that.

Because of this:
Do While contentLen <> 0
'Write Content from the file stream to the FTP Upload Stream
Stream.Write(buff, 0, contentLen)
...

Hi,

I always been under the impression that value types are stored on the stack while reference types are stored on the heap. Then the other day I read somewhere that said something in the line of...

I've seen the term Predicate being used in various functions in .Net but what does that really mean?

I'm sorry for the long delay, but thank you very much Joacim. That makes it very clear.

Hi folks,

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know why in heavens name the parameters for SendMessage are called wParam and lParam? What does the w and l stand for?

Yes I know what the function is supposed to do. I'm also aware that the MSDN library claimes that it can't be used to retrieve the text of a textbox from another process, but I've used it many times...

I was trying to get the text of a control from an application. So I first tried using GetWindowText and got a string back but to my surprise it wasn't the text in the actual control. So I used...

Thank you very much for that very clear explanation. Is there anything you don't know? :) Unfortunatly I can't rate you at this time :(

This question might not be that very important but I have been wondering about this for some time now. In most programming books I have read it says that the epoch of the date datatype is January 01,...

Hello. I've been using this forum on a regular basis since I became a user a while ago. I don't have a huge post count since I mainly use the search feature and have almost always found what I was...

Set the KeyPreview property of the Form to True.

This was really cool!

Now you confuse me again. I do get a list of properties when I use the Ambient object but no list of properties comes up when I use the Extender object. But on the MSDN page provided by MartinLiss in...

I'm confused. The user selects to do something but isn't the user using your application to do so? Isn't it your program that is actually sending the requests to the server first and then get the...

Thanks moeur. I've got that much but what I find confusing is what the ambient object really is. If the ambient object is the form the control is on why doesn't it have all the properties of the...

Thanks manavo11, that looks like a great article but after a quick browse through it I can't find anything that explains the ambient object.

I'm not an expert but wouldn't it be an easy task to parse the reply if you just keep track of which the last request was you sent to the server? If you know you just sent a LIST request wouldn't you...

I have nothing against getting a link if that provides the answer that I was looking for. In fact I already rated MartinLiss for the first link he provided. It was the way he frased his second answer...

Are you suggesting that I should stop asking questions in this forum and use Google instead :(

I found this forum via a google search and thought I could get some deeper insight from some experts...

Nevermind I found it :)

Sorry I don't understand. What do you mean by "go up to thread tools"? Where is that?

Thank you. Do you also have some information about the ambient object?

Oh ok... Or should I just say OO :)

Btw, what is IIRC?

Oh thanks Blade. No wonder I couldn't find the coolbar name in the list :)

Thanks for the link MartinLiss. Can you also explain the Ambient object?

Where do I find the coolbar control? I can't find it in the components listbox.

Why would anyone do that???? Doesn't the effect be the same if you used the same code in VB? What is it you're after? I don't understand any of this.

What exactly is it and what is it used for?

Thanks for that.

Please don't confuse this anymore :). The image Joacim have in that other thread clearly shows the relationship between the VarPtr and the StrPtr. I come from the C++ world and fully understand what...

Thank you so very much Joacim for that in depth explanation. It's easy to see why you are called a guru :) So using vbNewLine is faster simply because it's a predefined string.

Now I only have one...

Thanks RobDog888, but that confused me even more. If the Object Browser say that vbNullString is equal to "" but MS say that it's the same as NULL what does that actually mean? And why do people say...

Are you saying that vbNullString is not an empty Unicode string? But VB uses Unicode strings so if vbNullString is not in Unicode format wouldn't VB need to first convert it to Unicode before it can...

Now I'm really confused. If I would use LenB("") 0 is returned so no extra data seems to be there. Same thing with LenB(vbNullString), but LenB(Chr(0)) returns 2 wich is logical since it's a 1...

I don't understand. What is it that is removed from memory? If I would use: Label1.Caption = vbNullString instead of using Label1.Caption = "" what is it that is removed? Obviously the old string...
