This would do exactly what I need, only I need to do it from the VB.Net code. It is not possible for me to add the macro to the documents, since they are generated by another (ancient) system. Thanks, Rick

Hi All, I have a small windows application that gets word documents from a source folder, prints the documents and moves the documents to a destination folder. The printing is done using the following code: Dim printProcess As New Process...

Hi, I'm porting a VB.NET application to the compact framework. In my .net application I use a listview to display some data from a database. In the .NET framework application I added some columns to the listview. These columns where then shown, both in the IDE and in the application itself...

Hi, I have written an application to keep track of my software collection. I would like to use this app on my PDA, so I'm converting it to a smart device application. My original app works with a access 2003 database and I want to keep the database on the PDA synchonised with the database on...

Someone on another forum suggested this tutorial. Just thought I'd post it here as well, maybe help somebody... Greets, El Loco

It's that simple? I'll try it right away! Thanks, El Loco

Hi, I have written a number of vb modules that I use in several of my applications. I would like to put these modules in a dll file, so I can simply include that in future projects. To do this, I've been looking in the MSDN, but several things are not clear to me. - There seems to be a...

Hi, Most applications today have some form of activation, to protect it against illegal use (user didn't pay for it). Usually the user has to enter a key when installing the application. The key is then checked against some algorithm to see if it is a valid key. I was wondering how to...

Hi Kannan, I found the .NET Application Updater Component on the internet (actually someone posted the link on another forum). This little component can be used to let your application update itself, using http-dav for the download. In the example they use IIS as their webserver, but I don't...

Thanks for the help, but I found a better way to update my application: Use the .NET Application Updater Component. It is written by Microsoft, and even the sourcecode is supplied. I'm still a bit confused by the security part, but that will come to me when I try this I suppose. So, anyone...

Is it also possible to get the version info from another application? I have 2 applications. Backup and Updater. Backup is just an application I wrote to make scheduled backups of some folders. I use it on several computers, but when I have a new build, I don't want to install it on every...

I came across a realy easy way to implement these balloontips today! In the Coding4Fun column on msdn.microsoft.com (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncodefun/html/code4fun03282003.asp) Duncan Mackenzie uses the HansBlomme.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to display...

It sure does! Thanks, El Loco

Hi, I was just wondering how I can get information from the AssemblyInfo. For instance, I entered the version number in the AssemblyInfo, how can I get the version number? I found plenty of info on how to set the version number from the code, but not how to get it... I want the application...

Hi, I don't know if it is possible to communicate directly to the application, but when two applications are on different computers you'd use sockets to communicate. I thisnk this should work just fine when both apps are on the same machine... I can't help you with the download part, since I...

Thank you very much!!! This is great! You've just helped me out big time! But I still have a few questions: 1) You use Text1.Handle.ToInt32 to tell the tooltip the location of the textbox (if I interpreted this correctly). But I want to display a tooltip from a notifyicon, and the...

Well, I found some C# code on msdn.microsoft.com that should do this. Normally converting C# code to VB code isn't to much of a problem for me, but this has got me puzzled. I think it's because of the struct used for NOTIFYICONDATA. Can anybody help me with this? Here's the C# code: typedef...

Just out of curiosity; yp_prashanth, why did you copy TPM's post? It doesn't add any value, does it?

Hi, I was just wondering how to detect when the 2nd form of my app closes. I have a small app that opens a second form when you click a button. In the new form, you can add some information to a text file, that is used to fill a combobox in the first form. When you click the add button, the...

Ok, bad example. As you correctly noted, when running on a schedule (like every 3 hours) the output isn't exactly wanted :) But the app can be run manually as well... So it has an parameter that turns off the output. And you are right, I should use a service for this. But my boss didn't want...
