@ Muscleman: 'I'm not sure if you are making a point or correcting my grammar...?

Of course you are right again, JM. The reason I am converting the date to a string is that the date is eventually encoded. It is used to monitor the program's installation date to over see the free trial period and can not be a variable sitting in a file that a user could recognize and modify to...

OK... I stumbled across the solution so I can answer my own questions. For those who may need to know... The date in the Indian culture does not contain any forward slashes but rather hyphens. Also, the culture can apparently be set with the following code... Dim ci As CultureInfo ci = New...

I have made my VB application available to the entire US and it has been running without incident for several months, so I know there are no bugs in the basic code. Recently I have had a few people in India download the application and they have reported an error where the app parses the current...

I'm attempting to clean up some MVC code to make sure no memory leaks exist. I have a few processes where a Controller sends a data table or two to a View in ViewBag so the page can display the data records. At that point, I no longer have Controller access these data tables to dispose them...

My project is finally available online. It has been in the making for years and has been very educational. This post is just to say thank you to the selfless folks who have helped me through this forum to make it happen... Especially John H and JM Cilhinney. You two absolutely carry this site...

So I don't need the dispose loop ??? Excellent ! Thanks for the help with my Help page.

I have always been terrified of Delegates. I just had the hardest time grasping the concept and how to implement them, except of course those that are provided by a simple 'AddressOf' statement for an event handler. I'm sure in the past I have written many extra lines of code just avoiding them...

This is good ! Thank You JM. I was aware of the busy loop. I was in a hurry to make something work and had intended to clean it up once I got rid of the errors. 'Was unaware of the 'Task.Delay()' though. It's tough learning this stuff as piece meal through Google.

Well I beat the CrossThread error by using a timer rather than the Task.Run scenario. Private Sub WB1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As HtmlElementEventArgs) If e.KeyPressedCode = 27 Then RemoveHandler WB1.Document.Body.KeyDown, AddressOf WB1_KeyDown...

This may seem a little trivial, but I'm a nut for making an app work with the keyboard and avoid making the user reach for the mouse when ever possible. I have a Help page for my app that is shown on a web browser control. This is easy for me as I can update the help page quickly and easily...

As always, John, I appreciate your taking the time to look at this. Initially I was setting the Row's selection in code, as in "CDGV(Column, Row).Selected = True" so that the row would be selected regardless of Modifier keys or Right Click, etc. So the user's click would select the row and my...

In a DataGridView where the Selection Mode is set to Full Row Select, single row selection and the row's DefaultSelectionBack Color is set to a particular color, the user becomes accustomed to seeing this selected Row's backcolor when they click on a row. If they are clicking the row with the...

Thanks for clarifying that for me JM !

Many times I've read this advice: 'Do not call an event handler directly.' ... such as 'Button1_Click(Me, Nothing). I'm curious to know why this is generally a programming error. It seems to me like a way to reduce the number of lines of code. What's the down side ?

Thanks John. That's what I figured. It just seemed tacky to me that there was not a method similar to GetItemRectangle for a Combo Box List. I was thinking that on another OS, theme or accessibility option, the list box might not be exactly where it is showing on my system in relation to the...

I need to point to an item in a Combo Box drop-down list in one Form from a help page in another form. The drop down list is not owner draw although it could be changed. I figured the owner draw would give me the bounds within the drop down but not the location relative to the form or screen. I...

Is it possible to get the bounds / location of an item in a standard Combo-Box Drop down list?

For those out there with a similar question, it appears to me that Eazfuscator does a terrific job of renaming the variables, the class names and encodes the strings for a much more reasonable price tag. At this time it is right at $400. Looking at their obfuscated code was no less than a can of...

As Visual Studio provides a default Dotfuscator for personal use, I checked with PreEmptive Dotfuscator about their pricing for the version used for commercial apps. The 1-Year term subscription price is $4,250. They also offer a 3-Year term single-payment option for $11,225. For this kind of...
