I know very little about RTF formatting, but from a quick google search, unless there's an intrinsic way of doing it in VB, I dont think it would be that difficult to set up a way of doing it. Basically you would just replce the RTF tags with HTML ones...

Would the first problem appear if I ran the complied app in a certain environment? Is there any reason I would need to invoke finalizers if I hadnt put anything in them? I did try using ExitThread(), but the problem wasn't the multithreading, it was the presence of a shared form object in a...

A simple solution: End

Its not mscorlib... To allow interactions between forms, my main form is a shared member of a class. In a basic setup, doing this causes the form to be unable to close. However, interactions between forms are fundamental to what the program does, so I cant disable it! Setting the shared...

I spoke too soon, it actually raises an exception! The problem appears to be that mscorlib doesnt want to exit. What does this dll do, and what might it be waiting for?

Well, it depends what the hardware is. For the devide Im using, its a case of sending plain-text commands through a serial port, which is fairly simple to set up. Id be happy to help you with this if you wanted... Beyond that I know very little about actual hardware interfacing, the internet...

If you are able send SQL queries then its pretty simple...

If you've never done any ASP before, I would recommend using PHP instead. PHP is open source, more like C, and created to work solely as a web language. Something like using sessions or cookies would be a very simple affair...

Is this for a web app?

Yes, VB can interface with hardware. Im writing a bit of software at the moment to automate surveying measurements with a theodolite. Only thing is, VB.NET 2003 doesnt include support for serial ports. Either use 2005 or a 3rd party plugin to do that.

Am now using System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Abort() Im not sure how correct this is, but it works :)

Didnt work :( My Closing event sub: Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing If clsCommon.Flags.connected = True Then clsCommon.thisSession.disconnect() End If ' Write the log to file Dim sr As...

When I click the close button on the main form of my project, it closes, but the application seems to stay running, as it appears in the task manager. Is there something obvious I should be doing that Im not?

That works a treat, thank you!

When I convert a double to a string, it sometimes gives me weird answers. This seems to be happening because it is very small, and when it converts it to a string, it includes the E-05 bit. How can I set it to output just the numbers? Example: CStr(1921.256197-1921.256157) gives...

Have you created an instance of the child form? eg Public childform As New frmClassification()

I do need more than 4 dps :) Its for measurements of distances in metres to accuracies of microns...

VS is telling me that that is obsolete. Apparently you're supposed to use something like: Dim port As Integer = 9890 Dim localAddr As IPAddress = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1") Dim server As New TcpListener(localAddr, port)

A point of sale system is a bit of software they use in shops: when they scan the barcode in, it gets interpreted by the POS system, which adds the price, item name etc. It then comes up with a total, maybe edits the stock count of the item, that kind of thing. If you wanted you could make it...

Recreating part of google isnt a simple task either :) The POS system would be good too.. You can make any of these projects as big or as small as you like, it depends how many features you put in and how comprehensive you are. Could you give us an idea of the kind of thing you were thinking of?
