You might try strings.exe from the free [Sysinternals Suite](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb545027.aspx). This may allow you to recover all/most/some of the text.

I see we have another "what is the best..." thread that is probably going to generate endless discussion from the linux/Mac/Windows camps. [Here](http://joelgrus.com/2013/12/24/why-programming-language-x-is-unambiguously-better-than-programming-language-y/) is some enlightening and amusing reading for anyone who is tempted to respond to **any** "what is the best..." type threads. It seems to me that most …

You didn't provide the table structures so I'll assume the tables have the same structure. I have no idea how much detail you need so I'll start with a little and you can ask for more as you need. If you have an ADODB.Connection object named `con` then you can …

See [here](https://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/threads/484044/hi-everyone#post2118530).

"_0" is not an integer. Strip off the underscore before you try to convert.

You can open the CSV as a text based database using ADO then use standard SQL statements to query to records. A detailed explanation can be found [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms974559.aspx). Here is a short example. Assuming your CSV file does not have a header line (identifying field names) you can create a …

I'll assume that you are using a database. You can select the current maximum student number by SELECT MAX(StudentNo) Therefore the next available number would be SELECT MAX(StudentNo)+1 AS NextStudentNo

The first mistake you made is asking us to tell you the requirements of a system that we know nothing about. What you have to do is meet with the people who are doing the manual process and document that process. The people who maintain the current manual system can …

This is just too good not to share with everyone. >The only reason coders' computers work better than non-coders' computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don't beat them when they're bad. From [Programming Sucks](http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks). A must-read.

My senior year of high school was the only year of school up to then that I enjoyed. I got involved in our production of My Fair Lady. I started on scenery then ended up in the cast. That spring when our geography teacher took a group of students to …

What is the error? Please post the full text and identify the line causing the error.

You could try [how to remove vmhost.exe](http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-vmhost-exe-virus/) first.

First of all, JJ Abrams doesn't know shit about Star Trek. See the excellent [Star Trek by the Minute](http://structureddream.blogspot.ca/2009/06/my-take-on-star-trek-2009-001.html) blog for more explanation. Against my better judgement I watched "Star Trek Into Darkness". More of the same nonsense and idiotic plot holes. for example, they establish that the new transporters …

One way (not necessarily the best way) is to use [AutoIt](https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/) to get a list of all windows and check the title bar text for a match. I use this for a lot of vbscript jobs to do just that.

You mean you want us to do all the work for you even though you have shown no proof that you have put any effort into it yourself?

The thing to keep in mind is that the computer belongs to your employer, not to you, so they have the right to monitor your activity. While something like a key logger may be too big-brotherish, logging what web sites you go to is not unreasonable. My former employer took …

If you use a Dictionary (also known as an associative array) you can do the following: Dim cars As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer) For Each item As String In {"Opel,5", "BMW,7", "Renault,12", "Opel,3", "Renault,6"} Dim flds() As String = item.Split(",") Dim car As String = flds(0) Dim num As Integer …

Don't make a typo. You are allowed only one change.

Possibly it's because of other "stuff" that you have loaded on your computer. Without knowing what else you have installed it's impossible to tell. I'm extremely careful as to what I install. If I want to try something new that is even remotely questionable I install it into a virtual …

I would suggest that instead of shuffling you start with a list of all possible numbers. Then for each new selection you just generate a random index from 0 to list.Count - 1. Once you retrieve the number at that index, remove it from the list.

Imagine the noise just from mowing your lawn.

It is possible to portray higher dimensional objects in lower dimiensions but the result always contains distortions. Just look at maps. Most maps (in the projection which is most commonly used) show Greenland as inordinately large. In the same way we can portray a cube in two dimensions  …

Happy to have you aboard.

What is the message associated with the squiggly line? I suspect your control has a slightly different name than the one you typed in the code.

Add a label to the form at design time and on form load do Label1.Parent = PictureBox1 Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent When you assign text to the label it will be visible. To make it disappear just assign the null string to the label. If the label text is the same …

What is the make and model of your Dell system? I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (32 bit) and I'm running Windows 7.

Why not create the button in the main form and just use the second form to get the parameters? Private Sub Form1_MouseClick(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then If Form2.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Dim btn As New Button btn.Text = Form2.txtLabel.Text btn.Location = e.Location …

I've been using [Virtual Clone Drive](http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html) for years. It works great, is free, and does not install any crapware.

We need to see the code.

You don't need to use a timer to update the progress bar. Just increment the progressbar value in the loop you are tracking. As for the cross form update, why not just put the progress bar on the form containing the loop?

A timer is simply another thread that runs concurrently with the main thread. When your program is minimized it does not have focus and does not receive notification of keyboard events.

The obvious question is do you have Microsoft Word installed on the tablet?

There is already a builtin way to generate a unique reference. It's called a GUID and you can use it as follows: Dim g As System.Guid = System.Guid.NewGuid It will generate a result of the form e57bf525-4b8e-4d09-98aa-53fe997acfb8

>I would suggest windows 8 because I use it and it works well and has a better user interface than windows 7 Keep in mind that this is one user's opinion and was given with no explanation as to why the interface is "better".

You could start with a button and a timer and do Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "\first.exe") Timer1.Interval = 10 * 1000 'ten seconds Timer1.Start() End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick Timer1.Stop() Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "\second.exe") End Sub

You can set the index of the topmost entry with the TopIndex property. If you want to scroll automatically you could use a timer and modify the value of TopIndex on each timer event.

>use PowerShell instead You'd think that with all the added power of PowerShell I'd finally be able to use ctrl-c and ctrl-v for copy and paste like every other dog damned program but nooooooooooooooo. I still have to go through the menu. But I'm not bitter.

Problems: 1. You didn't say what version of vb or vb.net 1. You posted in the wrong forum 1. You couldn't be bothered to provide any details 1. You didn't read [the rules](http://www.daniweb.com/community/rules) 1. We won't write your program for you

There is a more complete example [here](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/481034/save-and-retrieve-word-document-in-sql-database). I wrote the code to handle saving/retrieving Word documents but the same code works for any type of file.

That answer would have been more helpful if you had included the number.

CTRL W = close (browser tab) CTRL O = open (standard app hotkey) Close your eyes and open your mind.
