In this case I'd replace the motherboard. It holds almost all the parts that produce the display and make it work.

You may have to ask a question. I missed where you asked a question in all this. In fact the question mark only appears in your code.

That's one fine dump you have here but what is the question? Few will dive into 100+ lines of code to find where there's an error.
Try again but tell what's causing you to ask for help and narrow it down to a line of code or at most a function.

A few things. Very few folk write code or your site for you so with that out of the way, you may have reveal more about your web hosting. What database is available as well. To be sure you will learn to code as time passes but if this is to be written by others post this in the for hire or hiring area along with the renumeration for the job.

If I were to tackle this I'd put the details into a database then the PHP would be to query the database to create the view based on today's date.

-> One big deal is that today() could be variable depending on the user's timezone so going in you have to get the user's timezone so you can factor that into your query.

Sorry no. For this issue I've had to dive into the HTML, then use the caniuse site to research each feature to see if there are limits or caveats. There are folk that want others to do this work and for that, well I'm about to leave for the day and have other things to attend to.

But I thought I'd share how I work such an issue.

I'm going with you should not do this. Why? Because your app could be on any Windows version from XP to 10 and the commands vary from OS to OS and machine to machine. That said if I was to tackle this I would shell out to the host OS's command line disk partition tool.

As you know your OS target, then find it's diskpart command line and shell to that to do the deed.

Since shelling out is widely discussed I'll leave that to you.

You found it. "null value error." Which variable is it and then code to handle it.

Time to check out http://caniuse.com/ and see if any feature you are using is either not supported in IE8 or has a caveat.

OK, a few things.

1. On line 32 I can't find where the variable inc is declared or set.
2. In VS (visual studio), place a break on line 32 and examine the variables in that line.

Just in case I'm missing something, that tag "vw.net", is that a typo or a new language? Anyhow, while you are in Visual Studio, what line is faulting?

Also, let's consider if no records were retrieved. Line 29 and I could be wrong, looks like it could fail.

Just so you know why I chose those DNS. I ran namebench and those won.

Here's what my Chrome task manager looks like.

OK, I wonder if Chrome is spending time on addins. I have Adblock+ and Web Of Trust. Nothing else.
The DNS and such is in this IPCONFIG dump.

I opened Chrome Version 51.0.2704.106 m (64-bit) and it took 5 seconds to get to the Programming forum.

And it's updating. will retest after that.
Now at Chrome Version 52.0.2743.82 m (64-bit). It relaunched and the Dani URL for the Programming forum loaded and displayed in 2 seconds.

It's old enough to have failed (2005 laptop) but did you replace the CMOS battery and give it another reset?
I've noted the routine at my sticky in another forum. Link follows.
http://www.cnet.com/forums/post/30c241c5-dd8b-4d73-b08d-c6e15897fe5f/

Many laptops have a reset feature. Some don't but as not all machines have it, here's something to try when a laptop won't start. Remember this is generic, doesn't apply to all machines but when faced with a non-starter dead laptop, why not try this?

Ready?

1. Remove all connections to the laptop. (USB, power, etc.)
2. Remove the battery.
3. Press and hold the power on button for 1 full minute.
   -> Explainer. Yes, many machines only require 10 or 15 seconds but this reset instruction is generic and I've found people hold the button for 9 or 14 seconds so let's write the full minute.
4. Let go of the power on button.
5. Slip in the battery pack.
6. Plug in the power to the laptop and to the wall.
7. Do not plug in any other devices.

Try the power on button!

For this you would break down the design you want then code it step by step. However this is your first post so read https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question

I don't see any code so you must be asking the more generic how do I write code when I have a blank sheet of paper?
Answer: You don't. Design first then code. And then if need be, redesign, recode.

I think you didn't research this one. Example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=javax.sound.sampled+in+android+studio

This finds the priors and why it fails. It also gets into what you need to do next.

A few years ago I went to the CTIA convention (google Super Mobility 2016) and ATT would send messages by the tens of thousands for 10 to 20 bucks. This laid waste to the cost of how much to build your own systems. Not only that but you didn't have to have a database of numbers to send to. ATT has a database that you select your targets and then they send to those folk.

I'm sure other carriers do this as well.

@Sigmond,
Consider this PHP code.

<?php
for($x = 0; $x <= 53; $x++){
    $x++;
    echo $x;
    echo ",";
}
?>

I ran it on a PHP fiddle and here's the output.
1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,45,47,49,51,53,

I'd think over your code for this and the other reasons noted so far.

Spelling error in my reply. I meant "the loop" in my second sentence.

I didn't read where you checked your include directory settings. While the link I note is for 2015, it's same or similar to 2013.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee855621.aspx

That's been batted about for a long time. https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+keep+app+on+top finds priors and I won't tell which is the right answer but you need to decide if you want to use a timer or not but let me tell you why I'd use a timer.

Since it's a lot of work to tap into the OS's global events to figure out focus was lost, many just opt to run a timer and say, once a second call the window position to where you demand it.

While you left out if this is for a big display, print or what medium it's for the simple answer is yes.

The artist has plenty of free software today so maybe it's simpler than the free or cheap graphic apps I see at Ninite.com. Maybe you don't have an artist on your team.

Something looks odd at lines 36 and 37. It looks like only the odd values would appear for the value x$ So that's odd on its own.

Next we have what is in the look from 37 to 47. I can't see where x$ is used or why anything other than one set/row would be affected. You have have to rewrite that.

I used the title of your post and all I found were answers that I used before so I have nothing new to add. Maybe your MS Acesss or engine is out of date with a bug? Or you found a new bug and need to call it in (doubtful.) That said, I have run into a few folk that absolutely refuse to read priors. They demand you list out the most likely fixes or workarounds.

That happened to me as I was trying to login on my Asus T100 Android tablet. I tried to grab a screenshot but failed.

Very strange screens there.

How does this differ from https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/505507/how-to-create-a-datalist-table-layout-in-vb finds you pasting what looks like HTML in place of VB code.

Here your tags are not listing VB.net but asp and asp.net so I would be taking a huge leap that you were writing some web server in vb.net.

Let's keep in mind that putting a table on a vb form has many prior discussions so I can't think that is your question.

Since you are in VB, it may not be code but the attribute or format of the field in that grid.

Let's google this.

https://www.google.com/search?q=vb.net+grid+date+format&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Seems it's possible in the IDE as well as in code.

Short answer. Change the date format to what you want in that grid.

I tossed that out there since it's been one of the shill/hawker ploys. It's akin to the "Distraction display" but what this method is called eludes me.

The ploy is to try to elicit pity and then some (hawker) will follow up with the answer.

I'm not writing this is the OP but it's one of the plays I've seen before.

There is another reason a post like this appears. It's simply a shill setting up for someone to hawk a solution. These shills or stooges are all too common today.

And then we have folk that somehow got to their final years and never learned basic search skills. They are rare, so rare that this post is just what the above wrote or just another shill/stooge posting.

-> What should you do? If this was a setup for a hawker/spammer then you've been found out. If this is you being geniune I'd ask for this entire post be removed so not to taint your future.

Sorry but as I read your reply I only see the methods for starting and stopping, but can't find your code for creating the object.

If I was working this, I'd look again at the object creation and any code with its name.

Just to complete your post so all may know. What changes the current working directory? I can navigate in the dialog box so there is that.
Was it that or something in your code?

Let me start with 3 basic network questions.

1. Did you turn off "simple sharing" in Windows? (Hint I do.)
2. Did you enable the guest account? (Hint, if you don't have a Windows Server and do not care to maintain accounts, you might do this.)
3. How are you dealing with accounts? (Hint. A share is limited to user accounts, priviledges and more.)

Finally, did you turn off the firewall in your router? That does block shares.

That code, I can't find where you created the chronometer. Time to look around the rest of the project files.

@James. You buried your post on page 2 of an 11 year old discussion. Let's say it's imperative to get it working. I would not bury my posts like this.

Tip> Take your subject title and google on that. It appears this is an old old issue and you need to go over priors.

@Hans. That's quite the ambitious project. What you'll learn along the way is that this might be possible for Dial Up Modems with a lot of caveats but for Cellular data modems, you would have to collect them all then create your detection system, driver fetch and install and then your settings system.

That's quite a lot of systems and code for each area.

Here's the lowdown. You won't be able to handle "any inserted modem" but only those that you coded for.

Frankly I don't see why anyone would do this given the costs and support issues it would incur. Figure a year for your first working app and many months of testing.

I can't tell if you did research on this. Example:
https://www.google.com/search?q=GetOpenFileName+freezes+at+second+execution&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

The first hit is about turning off DEP for your app. I have a theory why that happens but it would be machine specific since I can't guess what else is on this PC, well I can't tell you it's "xviewer version 12" or something else. As you know this file open does a lot more than most suspect.

@Hans, time to get serious. No USB stick that provides the internet via cellular "dials." I had hoped for more detail from you but no go.

I wish I was there to see what you are trying to automate but I am not and here we are with a mess of a story. Take a moment to collect what you are working with (make/model) and then try again.

Just last month I had a friend with some USB stick that had to "connect" to the internet manually. For their stick it was some checkbox that needed to be checked and now it connects automatically. No code was required.

Remember I will take your word this is a dial up modem and not some internet dongle.

The code would try opening com 0 to 255 and send out the old AT command and see if "OK" comes back. That's your basic scan and I should not have to code this for you.

But later in your post you have this USB 3G Modem and that's an entirely different kettle of fish. Those require setup and not scanning and dialing! If the setup is the same each time, most of the time you have a checkbox to "connect automatically."

On Cellular 3G connections, we don't dial.

Just reread the discussion at the link I shared and the Don there wrote:

Thanks for the quick response. Your notes seemed to do the trick. I've connected and am in. THANK YOU!!

Oops, typo there in my post. "doesn't seem to work."

As to voting on mobiles, will have to try again on the smaller screens later. I guess I should have noted Aerosmith's song too.

I think your sentence needs expansion. This one:

Need to edited file the same as the original one.

While it's easy to google your question, if a file is edited, how could be the same as the original?

i just did an upvote from an 10 inch Asus Android transformer. So that works but this only brought up 2 issues.

1. Even while I'm in the Chrome browser and have the stock keyboard and touchpad the mouse flyover doesn't see to work. No popup box to comment why an upvote for Diafol above.

2. Login was blocked by Dazah with a for security message but ODDLY when I went to Daniwed.com I found I'm logged in and making this post.

To me this shows there are still issues with logins. Yes, busy with Dazah you are.

Editing from my W10 laptop to add I really need to try it with my iPad mini. The keyboard for it just arrived so unpack, charge, setup, etc.

I'm probably way off but do try using IP address instead of domain name. This one dogged a friends testing for months.

Again, just something I've run into.

There are tomes about table designs and there are even more folk to call a design good or bad. For me, I only balk when it doesn't work, breaks easily, is a security issue and other items.

I don't see a problem with 4 tables in a design. Being difficult to do a few reports or queries is fine when the design works. Revamping a working design just to make a few reports or queries easy seems to never pay off.

And with that, I'll share a cheat I used long ago. It's probably heresy in some academic circles but here goes. I was stumped on how to make a report on a multiple table database. So I cheated (?) and made a temporary table with what I needed then ran the report off the temp table which I dropped when done.

Question: Was there a way to do what I wanted without that temp table?
Answer: Yes. But it eluded me for more than a few days and there are schedules to keep and it had to get done.
Answer a decade later: Looking back I just needed more SQL foo. The system runs as I made it in 2005 so maybe it wasn't that bad a decision as an academic may have thought of it.

Tell more. What app was this report made in?

I think ClipBucket used VideoJS and SRT support vanished last year.
Read https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/1956

Maybe you only need to write or use a SRT to VTT convertor?

Cross posting? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38543589/how-to-use-musixmatch-api-in-c-sharp looks to be same question. Folk notice this and may downvoite folk that write "give me the code."
Did you post this as well? http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/1114109/How-to-use-musixmatch-api-in-Csharp

I think the first link gave you a lead in that you won't be using their API in C#. It may confuse you that you may be actually doing this via a RESTFUL app.

So with that out of the way, turn your attention to learning about REST.

The story is unclear but here, my PC connection has not been PPPoE for over a decade. So I take that as just a guess at what's up.

Since you own this router, go ahead and reset it, then give it a new SSID and go for WPA2 and a new password. If there are connections to the Ethernet ports, unplug those that don't belong to you.

Now, are you running Windows 10? If so, do not share WiFi Passwords! Read http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-kill-wi-fi-password-sharing-in-windows-10/

Is there more to your question? I looked and found your prior posts seem to revolve around Tamil and more.

-> https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/threads/505161/please-help-me

So far no one writes apps for you or me. But if a Tamil app you want, why not use what's out there?
