Well, there is this in this very forum which might help. And if you say you've searched, I'm sure I speak for others in here that you didn't really search enough. There are countless MySQL + VB.NET...

I agree with the OP that comments are important but there is a time and a place for everything and sometimes just posting a quick snippet will suffice without comments. What I can complain about is a...

Yes, I'm sad to report that I tested before I took it to this woman who insists on opening up a multiple instances (and wow is she ever a fox!) Anyway, I compile the new code and then copy the exe...

Thanks again to all for the replies. This is starting to gel, almost. And again here is the situation I'm up against.

Making this a single instance application is what this code above...

What I can tell you we've noticed around here is that one of the MS Access databases which has been in use for years is very prone to crashing. The mdb file is stored on one of the servers and many...

dday9, thanks again. But I may have jumped the gun a bit. I thought this was working but I can see that it's actually still bringing up more than one instance of my app. So let me be sure about this...

I'll check that one out next as well. But the proposal by dday9 worked slicker than snot on a doorknob. The users will never know what hit them. It is a silent assassin that was needed for this task....

I wasn't aware of that one either but from what I read in searches it will not bring up the existing instance which is already running on the users' desktops. The trouble with users is they don't...

I have just developed another one of those killer apps which is short and sweet but all the folks in the company are clamoring for it. So it's been deployed now company wide. There are several ladies...

And on the subject of deployment...can anyone enlighten me on the process. The MySQL.Data.dll file. Will that need to be copied in the path on each users' computer or is there a central location I...

Actually for Windows 7 uesers it will be at


When I installed it I thought I'd read something about it being both 32 bit and 64 bit and if it sensed a 64 bit OS it would install both. I will...

Thanks. I did find that by opening the Form1.designer.vb from an existing project as a file in a new project and then copying and pasting it's contents into the real Form1.designer.vb it worked well....

I found this on a thread at another forum:


But when I tried this I got a message saying:

This looks like a neat method of copying existing work but I don't see where they mentioned...

Actually I'm a FreeBSD + PostgreSQL guy. Even though my experience with that is only slightly higher than Linux + MySQL. But this is the only db choice I have here besides MS Access. I think I can...

We are seeing some real inconsistencies using MS Access over a LAN. I am hoping to use another DB platform like MySQL. I am totally new to using this platform on Windows so here goes another learning...

I think my problem may be that I used a method without understanding it fully. When I built this project I did build the datagridview with a datasource. When I check the properties on it the...

Thanks again...and I once again must apologize for my lack of knowledge on this subject. That is the complete code. I made a simple form with the data source for the DGV being this simple database...

The dgv contains the six fields, and no the users are not making any changes using the dgv. It was a nice feature that the users wanted to see to relate to the adjacent entries in the database for...

I have a small project which works with an Access 2003 database. It has some fields in text boxes, a few buttons and a datagridview. When I save the new record, I would like the datagridview to...

Thanks. That's got it. I was just about to propose that it must have something to do with s. When I tried to type in Client before it would not take it, that is only Client. But when I typed in...

Thanks again formlesstree4. I guess I don't understand all this typing stuff yet. I edited the line as you have shown but now it's giving me "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."...

It's part of this code, which most is working successfully, so far. The blue code is the new code I added, the red one is the offending line.



Option Strict On
Imports System.Net.Sockets...

Sorry about that, I'm making so many changes on the fly. The above post shows my latest corrections to my otherwise ramblings of today. Thanks again for your assistance and patience in this.

formlesstree4,

That second link to codeproject was the actual code I found yesterday in my search. But there were some comments by other users at the bottom of that page where one guy said he did...

You know I was beginning to think something weird like this was up. Oh, if the folks who develop these apps only had to work with them on a daily basis...they'd certainly build them differently.

I tried editing the Form1.Designer.vb file, which I understand is highly undesirable method of doing it. But it did not make any change and it did not cause any harm. I changed the file back to the...

I have built a listview using the Details view, with five columns in it. I have named all the columnheaders and set the text alignment in each one to be centered. However, the first one on the left...

The TCP Listener project is starting to gel. And one of the things I did was to find some code which will determine the IP address of the client sending in the stream. I could swear that this worked...

You guys are bad to the bone. The changes made it work like I need. And as far as anything else you would recommend chaninging, please advise. I'm still eargerly learning to write efficient code....

Just trying to reinforce what I'm learning here about a Function returning an array. I still think I need some advice. What I want to do is to pass a string to the function which will parse it into...

Thanks again everyone. OK, before I read Shaggy Hiker's reply I started my project from scratch again. It's cleaned up, I thought and it was working quite well. But as soon as I set Options Strict ON...

Thanks again. I am probably one of the sloppiest programmers around, but I have seen worse. And I'm still in a steep learning curve on this. I was using type object because the stream is made up of...

Not on this one. I'm just using the System.Net.Sockets to pickup the stream as it comes in on the defined port. I realize it might be kind of primitive but at this stage of the project I'm just...

Kevin,

Thanks again. I'm trying. I need to let you know that the loop I'm using is working on a more simplified version of this and it's getting rid of the Excel instances...all of them. I've...

Hey ident, I've been doing lots of testing with this and tried another method which uses a While loop. Had some success with it but came back to this timer method. I'm curious if there is a better...

I have a small project doing some P2P communication between a client and a server. The data stream comes in to the server, gets parsed and processed, then a I want to send the results of that back to...

DesignLife,

We'd like to help you. That's what this forum is all about. But what you're describing here is really off-the-wall.

First off, you can create a text file and give it an .exe...

I think I can see what you want but your directions are not clear. When you say "into a textbox in the second program" are you referring to another textbox or another textbox in another form...or as...

I have been over this before in the forum and first off apologize for being so dense on this subject. I really thought I understood it after the first go round.

The project I'm working on was...

I'm starting to get the hang of it. I guess a little advice is needed on my part. The programs I'm writing are to automate process and the users are not involved in any way, unless you count me or...
