You might find the following code useful in complicated tasks that require a lot of code in other methods. I have not tested all of them, but they should work.

Learn how to write a simple DLL in C++ and then call it in Visual Basic. I scoured the web trying to look for beginning tutorials on how to write DLL's in C++ but came up with NULL examples. All the examples were to complicated for a beginner. Some of them were out-dated i.e. "Learn how to write a DLL to communicate with an ISA card". I soon gathered enough information to write a very simple one. Check it out.

Learn how to send output to your printer. PLEASE RATE THIS.

Updated the C# logic, since it was a bit messy. The purpose of this code is to calculate the age, given the BirthDate. Of course this is a trivial task, but is just to show one way to accomplish this task in VB.Net and in C#. The Zip file contains both projects. There is a slight difference in the logic since the VB one round the months, while the C# calculates the days too.

pretty basic code, opens notepad and uses a combination of an api timer and the sendkeys function. should be fairly useful for beginners wanting help with sendkeys/cursor manipulation and the shell command.

Trap system keys with a system keyboard hook on NT and 2000 OS.

A character map like the windows one. This is an updated version of my previous attempt. It now uses only one picture box (instead of a load of labels) and does all the drawing via PaintPicture. It's a lot faster than my other one. Feel free to use this code in your own project (all you have to do is add the code for the insert button).

This code will read in a two column data file (with the column titles in the first line) and update a listview control quickly and easily. It's easy to add more columns as needed. To use this code, you simply call the function like. Call load_list_view_two(mylist, "c:\test.dat")

The purpose of this code is to let users talk on an ASP website. It creates a good impression having your very own chat room.

Here it is fellow programmers: ASP Chat Version 3.0. I had promised when I first the skeleton ASP Chat Script i.e. Version 1.0, that I would try my hardest to clone the Yahoo! Chat Rooms. After a lot of hair-pulling and siting in tutorial sites, I fixed almost all the glitches and added a lot of new features. This new version allows users in a particular website to dynamically chat with other people accessing the same website. A good thing in this new version is that you can create you own Chat room, if you don't like the ones that are listed. Included as a bonus is a logging ability, which logs any activity in any chat room using seperate text files. It also displays the IP address of the user connected to the Chat Room. If you like it please vote for it! :)

You know... Real resize function needs some information about what to do. It cannot be done without information. The program even doesn't know what I want until I give it!!! For example, Let's say you have 4 controls. First one is command box, so it should be moved on form_resize. Second one is text box, so it should be wider or vice versa on form_resize. Third one is multi-line text box, so it should vary on width and height both. Fourth one is a label below the third one, so it should move vertically. You can DEFINE very easily how your controls should resized according to the parent form's resizing. If you are doing a lot of forms(maybe over 30, 50, 100?), this function will be very helpful.

I noticed a lack of Novell application code on this site, so I created this example from code found on the Novell developer site. It retrieves the Novell user ID and tree name using API calls. Requires, of course, Novell, the Novell Libraries for Visual Basic found at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/vblib.htm and the latest Novell Client.

The code was changed on 12/14/00 to use fstream objects for file I/O and I also added more comments. Use this to encode and decode a text file. The same password must be supplied in both cases because it is used in the encryption algorithm. This increases the security of the encryption making your encrypted file virtually uncrackable, even using the same program, unless you know the password. Please rate this. Whether it's good or bad, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
