    Understanding the New operator

    I'm writing a simple app to scan MP3 files, thousands of them. I've located an opensource class called Mp3Class which makes extracting the elements from an MP3 file easy, but I don't have much experience with objects. The following snippit works correctly on my small sample of files, but I'm...

    BASH script - array problem

    I'm trying to write a script which captures all the available WiFi SSIDs in my area, then puts them into an array 'a'. I don't get an error, however, when I print the size of my array at the end of the script I get 0. I'm sure I've got my array syntax wrong, but cannot figure out what to...

    MyApplication_StartupNextInstance not always firing

    My app processes files and is called from the right-click context menu from Windows Explorer. The user selects one or more files, right-clicks on the selection, then picks my app from the context menu. The behaviour of Windows is to call the app once for each file in the selection, and the...

    label control not updating during 'busy' activity

    I've got a program which populates then sorts a Treeview control on my form (~90K nodes). It is a very busy recursion algorithm which takes up to 30 seconds to complete, during which time my Label control stops refreshing. The label control is updated every 500ms by a Timer, providing progress...

    Reading the GAL (Active Directory)

    I'm trying to create a javascript function that I can run from my browser. The webpage form will take the login name of a user in the GAL, and return specific elements from the user's GAL record (email address, phone number, etc...). Security is getting in the way of my testing. 1. I need my...

    I have a VBScript which retrieves user records from Active Directory. Some of these users have x509 digital certificates in their records (userCertificate attribute). I am trying to decode this attribute in my VBScript to provide meaningful information, such as IssueDate, ExpiryDate...

    Query LDAP directory (non-AD) using System.DirectoryServices

    I am trying to query a public LDAP in my VB.NET application. The LDAP is not Active Directory. I found an example on the net, which makes no reference to AD. My test is based on that example. When I run this sample, an exception occurs, and I get the error "An operations error occurred."...

    Create Access database file (accdb) from VB.Net

    First, I've got to say how difficult it has been trying to find this solution. There are a few suggestions found with Google, but none has worked for me. My programming environment is Visual Studio Express 2013. My computer also has Office Pro Plus 2010 installed. My most recent attempt uses...

    Tuning Resource Monitor - lower screen refresh rate

    I am using Resource Monitor (PERFMON.EXE) to help diagnose times of intense HD activity. The issue is that the Disk Activity pane refreshes approx once per second. This is too fast to read the necessary parts of this very full pane. I've been searching for some way (registry setting?) to...

    Hook into filesystem operations

    OK, a bit ambitious here, but I want to write a "simple" app that hooks into the O/S filesystem operations. What I would like to see in my app is what files are currently being written to/read from, how much data, and what process is performing the activity. I know there are existing utilities...

    Cached pictures from USB stick?

    Hello, I used my wife's Surface Pro (Win 8) the other day to look at some holiday pictures stored on a USB memory stick. Once done, I 'Ejected' the stick using the standard Windows process. Then, the next day, I was using the tablet again, went into the Pictures app, and there were my pictures...

    I have a sub that recurses a directory structure (using GetFiles and GetDirectories). My form has a label to provide progress feedback. I have a Timer which fires every 1000 msecs, puts the current time (in seconds) in the label, and calls label1.update(). The label updates every second as...

    Provide Windows Remote Assistance without Invite

    I need to offer Remote Assistance to a Vista system, but without an Invite. Both machines are on the same LAN (no FW or router). If I use an invite file, it works, so I know the service is running on the Vista machine. On the machine providing the offer (Win 7), I use the Advanced Connection...

    Directing the election of the Local Master Browser (Net-BIOS)

    Hi, There is no dedicated NetBIOS group on Tek-Tips, so I will try my question here (sorry). On my home network, I have several machines, but no actual server. Occasionally, I have network problems which all suggest unstable Local Master Browser activities. The box that stays on 24x7 is a...

    Control WMP from VB app

    Hi, I've been looking for a method to control the WMP application from a VB app (running on the same computer). There is a 7 yr old thread (thread222-1104868) from the VB5/6 forum that shows a simplistic method of sending commands to the app, but it is limited to play/stop/ff/rew. I also...

    looking for active user forums for Linux issues

    Hi all, Tek-Tips is the goto place for many things, but based on the frequency of postings in this category, this is not the busiest place for Linux questions/answers/etc... With respect, I'm wondering what some recommended Linux forums are that have a huge and active following? Thanks.

    Ken Burns effect (graphics transition)

    Hi all, I have spent more than a year (on and off) looking for a VB6 solution to achieving the Ken Burns effect. Perhaps there are new viewers to this forum that have new ideas. The previous thread (thread222-1610752) died over a year ago. I'm not ready to give up yet.....! :-) Thanks.
