Yer, I would like to develop for people privately or for other compnies. I'm not a whole lot sure on prices I would charge but I would just go of quering people on how big the task will be.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if someone could give me any ideas on how to get my company out there?

Just add this to your program:

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged, TextBox2.TextChanged
    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) OrElse String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) Then Exit Sub
    If Not IsNumeric(TextBox1.Text) OrElse Not IsNumeric(TextBox2.Text) Then Exit Sub
    TextBox3.Text = CDbl(TextBox1.Text) + CDbl(TextBox2.Text)
End Sub

Because this is handling both textbox1 and textbox2

Thanks

Yer I tried that but for somereason it didn't work, I think that is because that is the local account so I had to create a normal account.

Ok, I've fixed it. I'm using Xampp, added a new user to the phpmyadmin and just tried connecting to the database using those credentials.

First of all what is better to use? easyPHP, Wamp or Xampp. I'm used to using Wamp but I thought I might ask.

This is a error message:
Could not connect to the database: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Ok well sorry to say but all of you have all missunder stood what I wanted.
What I want is to setup a database on one computer (That is on the same network, as all the employees) and there will be a program on all the employees computers that will access the database stored on the server computer. Also the server computer will be running windows. So the IP would not be a dedicated IP it will be like a sub IP such as eg. 10.1.1.1. While I'm testing this I've installed Xampp on my computer and tried accessing it from another computer I can access the Xampp fine but I can't access the database running in Xampp.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to use some kind of local server such as Wamp, Xampp, easyPHP etc... something like that and set it up so everyone on the same network can access the database on the server.

The server will be running on a dedicated server computer (A computer stored in a room running the server), an online database is not an option it needs to be a lan database.

F.Y.I: I have never worked with servers before so I don't know how they work I only know what they look like so I don't know if all servers have one computer running it all.

Hello Community,
For my new service I'm making a way for users to make the're tracking links short.
The URL is http://hitcounter.co but I can't think of any short versions of it because all the ones I've chosen have been taken such as http://hilnk.co, http://hlnk.co and http://hit.co.

So I was wondering if you could help me think of a short URL.

@rubberman I really want to get the Samsung ATIV S but I not 100% faund of Windows Phone 8 apps, the store looks like it has the smallest basic apps which is why I'm hesitant about getting a Windows Phone.

@caperjack Once again, even I know it's a waste but at least if I get a good phone now. Down the track when I do have a job I won't have to buy a better phone. So I can buy a good phone now and save some money down the track; I guess.

Ok, I've found this that does just that. Hope this helps.

I knew someone would say that, that is why I said above I know it would be a waste but if I'm getting a phone I want a cool phone. Not a crappy basic phone. The thing is anyway I'm the kind of person that if I see something that I get attaches to I really want it currently my heart is set on getting the LG Nexus 4.

But don't worry I even know it is a waste buying a $400 phone that I'm only going to use once in a blue moon. The only time I'd need a phone is when I'm going out, or when I actually get a job. I don't go to school anymore but even then no way in hell would I even bring a $400 phone to school where there are scum bages that would just pick pocket it. But that a whole other story.

Thanks for the suggestion but there is no way I'm spending over $500 on a phone that I wouldn't even use that much. Now if I always needed a phone and I use them all the time them I would maybe consider buying it.

Hello Community,
I've been thinking about buying a phone I've chosen these phones to choose from:

http://www.harveynorman.com.au/optus-nokia-lumia-720-windows-8-phone-pre-paid-mobile-red.html

The funny thing is currently I don't have a mobile phone so I'm not sure what is a good phone and what isn't; the thing is I don't really go anywhere to need a phone, I know what you'll be thinking "Why don't you just buy a basic phone?" but the thing is if I'm getting something I want a "good something" in this case I don't wont a basic phone because I really like cool smart phones etc... also I'm not sure how Windows Phone 8 is all I know it there are way more apps for Android so that is the only thing that would make me want an Android phone more but still I kind of like to try new things.

So what phone should I buy? or what phone would you buy if you where me?

(Optional) Why?

Also if you have anyother phone suggestion please list them.

It's ok I'll just go with using PHP and cronjobs but thanks.

When I say "system" I mean some other way of doing what I wanted to accomplish.
I thought I could find a way of doing this with just plain MySql but I see I will have to implement other scripts such as PHP (To check the limit). Do you get what I'm talking about now?

I was thinking I would have to use someone kind of system other then just plane MySql so thanks I guess that is going to be the only way I'll get the best result, but if I do it this way at least I have a little more control seen I'll be using PHP.

So thanks, I'll go ahead and use CronJobs.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to limit users on how many database entries they can insert then once they have reached 100 (Max entried) entries it will delete old entries. So if the user has reached 100 entried and they try to insert another entry it will delete and old entry to make room for there entry.

Hello,
Can I first just ask why if using MySqlDump works why would you want to do it in just plain VB.NET?

Ok now did you just want the data from the database? (Example below)

+---------+---------+
|ColumnOne|ColumnTwo|
+---------+---------+
|Row1Cell1|Row1Cell2|
+---------+---------+
|Row2Cell1|Row2Cell2|
+---------+---------+

or did you like want a backup script like the example below?

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Testing` (
  `ColumnOne` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `ColumnTwo` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO `Testing` VALUES ('Row1Cell1', 'Row1Cell2'), ('Row2Cell1', 'Row2Cell2');

I fixed it I put the PHP code above the notifications dropdown.

Never mind I think I'll just try placing all the PHP code at the top of the page.
What I think is happening is the notifications are being loaded before the the php functions clears the notifications. The notifications are at the top of the page and the php script that clears the notifications is half way down the page.

Could it be because the php script is below the notification dropdown?

It's an entire page.

Thanks for responding, but I don't think you read it correctly.

Hello Community,
I'm having trouble with data returning after my form has been submitted.

So in my case I have a notification system on my website and a setting popup window with a clear all checkbox so when the user clicks it then click save, after the form submits. All the notifications are still in the notification dropdown but if I refresh the page they will go away. So it's removing them from the database but not removing them from the list.

Hello Community,
I'm trying to make a way to post data to my php file located on my website, I tried it on my Windows 8 laptop; it worked fine, then tried it out on my Windows 7 laptop and for some reason it won't work. I have gone through so many test to find the bug and I'm sure it's got something to do with the get response command because I set a try function and had a look in the error (ex.ToString) and the first error was the get response command, there are more errors but I think the get response error caused them, for the ex.Message it comes back saying "The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly" so I have no idea what is causing it.

I have attached the file I'm working with to test the post function, for you to fiddle around with.

Please help, I have been trying to fix this for about 4 hours now. (Currently 3:19 am)

Well if thats the easiest way then I'll just have to do that.

I don't know if this will help with what I want to acomplish.
I want a system so people can retrieve information from their profile by sending an email to my website email address then the website will gather what the user wants and emails it back to them.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to send an email to a database?

Example:
So when the user sends an email to my websites email address the email will be broken up in to parts (Subject, From, Body etc...) and added to the database.

FYI: I'm using GoDaddy and a normal website hosting account that is using Linux.

There is still alot, but it doesn't matter now because I decided to just buy another laptop.

No

Thanks i just needed a second opinion, I've decided not to get it i was only thinking about getting it just to give users that little bit more reason to trust me with there data.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if getting an SSL certificate be worth it for my new website it the website doesn't store users personal details all it will hold is users links that would be counted but the thing is i don't know if it would be worth it or not because I'm not dealing with personal details.

So what do you think would it be worth it?

You mean like call support? if that is what you mean yer that is a good idea but that wouldn't make me want to donate but i could package that with one of the donation plans.

Hello Community,
I have setup a donation system on my website and i was wondering what would be a good gift in return for donating i was thinking of doing like a sponsor thing so if someone donates a certain ammount i will sponsor them by putting an ad on my website.

Can someone give me ideas.

I do have access to the DNS manager.

Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to set a multiple level subdomain? eg. sub.sub.domain.com

FYI: my web host is with GoDaddy.

It looks like an encoding issue have you tried it with out the encoding. Thats my guess but i don't much work with encoding so i don't know what you even need the encoding for.

The reson it's saying it's being used by another process is because it is still being accessed by your program when your done writing to or reading from the file you will need to close and flush the stream.

I have never tried this but you could try placing the streamreader or streamwriter at the top of the page so that way you can keep reading and writing to it without having to start a new streamreader/streamwriter in seperate functions/events and all you will need to so is just save the file then when you need to access it again just call the stream reader.

I hope that made sense.

You could use an if statement: (like the following)

If System.IO.File.Exist(".txt location") Then
    'Proceed
Else
    'Don't Exist
End If

I'm not quite sure but I know it's Linux hosting.

Hello Community,
I am trying to redirect a page to the same page but with the .php extension added this is what i'm trying Redirect /projects http://randoma.co/projects.php but it won't work i just keep getting a 404 error.

FYI: I'm using GoDaddy.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks everyone i have found another way to get around it.

Yer i decided to do that i just forgot to mark this as solved, but thanks every one for helping.

Could you please give a better description.
I may be able to assist you further.

Why don't you try using an if statement to check if any of the picture box contains that image and if it does then it will to back and insert a new image eg. using the Example: and goto Example.

Does that make sense?

I may have explained it wrong i don't want to save the string i just want it to be rembered throught the submission because when i update the string to what ever when i click the submit button they get reset back to nothing ("").

What is happening is when i put update the $tS string with $_POST['tString1']; then submit the form the $tS is reset back to nothing, i need to to keep what i put in it before i submitted the form.

No it's all on the one page.
