Gotcha. Doing some more reading I just ended up going with a Thread. Delegates are still a little fuzzy to me but it works. Thanks guys.

Thanks for your quickness John! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. There are still so many classes to get accustomed to I'm still not sure what all is available. I did a little research on the BackgroudWorker class and ended up using a Delegate and everything's peachy now...

I'm working on a website where we'll be getting a lot of videos to be uploaded. To keep things simple and secure, I'm just writing VB.net windows app to suck all the files in a directory in, allow you to set some options, and start the encode by spawning a new FFMpeg process. I have a working...

I'm dumb. I'm thinking completely wrong. The .FileName should be C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe with the appropriate arguments... I was trying to run a env path from the cmd.

Will the commands I send to a Process.Start() be obeyed from within the IDE? For example.. Dim cwin As New ProcessStartInfo Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process With cwin .FileName = Environment.SystemDirectory & "\cmd.exe" .Arguments = "/K ffmpeg...

I'm a huge fan of creating centralized, reusable libraries for any project, be it flash, php, or whatever, so I'd like to make a lib for some common functions I do in VB, and the one I like using so far is centering the Form on the screen when it starts. Problem is, I'm not sure how to...

I did find some stuff for the IComparer interface, and thought I would have to dig into that, so thank your for confirming... and thank you a TON for that userControl suggestion. Makes life so much easier, and the code a lot less dense. Cheers :)

For getting used to working in vb.net, I'm making a small project management app for myself to set up project directories when I start a new job. I have an XML config file that has the project directories and file names to be created "by default". For each file name I have 3 controls - a...

Thanks again Matt. I'm taking a look at some LINQ examples and walkthroughs and it's not so scary ;) The one thing I'm starting to see is that for every problem to be solved in vb there's about 12 ways of solving it. Thanks for the push.

Makes sense. May take a few goes to be able to recreate something like it, but I can see how it's a lot more straightforward than the XPath approach. Thank you for taking the time to do so. :)

Beautiful. Thanks Matt.

Is it me, or is XML navigation in VB a little more convoluted than it "needs" to be? I was a little excited to see that XPath was a part of the VB toolbox, but I'm a little confused as to why I'm getting the results that I am. My xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <cfg>...

Wonderful... thanks for the clarification. It seems with all the various flavors there are a lotta ways to do things.

Well, its official. I am a n00b. Turns out the debug was working fine. I'm so used to concatenating string with + that it returned everything fine when using the correct operator. I'm gonna go ahead and leave this thread up for you all to throw rotten tomatoes at.

Hey all- New here, new to VB.net, but no stranger to programming/OOP concepts. I'm just trying to figure out how to adapt my existing knowledge of loops, data population, etc into this rather odd, plain-english language. I'm using VB.NET, Studio 2008, if that helps. I'm attempting to make a...
