Commonly, we use free SDK / COM components provided by the manufacturers (For example, Logitech Quick Cam provides one. See FAQs at http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?countryid=19&languageid=1&page=partners/info&CRID=1463&parentCRID=948&categoryID=265 Another interesting link is http://www.microsoft.com/windows/NetMeeting/Authors/SDK/default.ASP which may not be directly relavent to your posting cheers vasu

If you can not pay: Either use TAPI or MS Communication control (with VB - check MSDN) If you can pay, there are several APIs such as HAPI (check hyperterminal in your system). cheers vasu

By saying Front end , do you mean that browser? If so, make sure that the asp page doing database update is returning only S(uccess)/F(ailure) message and then updating the DOM? If that is the case, it shouldn't put any load on front end because the page does not get refreshed. Web-server load (so with N/W load unless it demands upgrade) is ok for 50 users because 50 users can not be 50 concurrent connections, in web environment. cheers vasu

Hi There.. This is my favorit, it's really cool, and have a lot off stuff. http://gotdotnet.com/ Hmm...

This code works in VB6, however you may be able to just wrap it into a ActiveX COM component to work on the web. Domain Name in VB6 HTH Nick Parker

Try this (Need Script Host 5.5+): Sub ShellAndWait(AppToRun) Dim Shell Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Shell.Exec( AppToRun ) End Sub YVOTD: 15 "The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. " - Psalm 34:15-16 (1 Peter 3:11-12) (NIV)

I got it.. that's what i did Dim fileName As String Dim path As String Dim index As Integer path = "c:\temp\testing\folder" path = frmPrinterProperties.IDpath.Text ' deleting the last folder name.. index = InStrRev(path, "\", -1, 1) ' find "\" reversly in the path string path = Mid(path, 1, index) ' get what ever right before "\" fileName = path & "new folder" ' now "c:\temp\testing\new folder"

Thanks Paul... Brain Fart; I keep writing things as: Regex r = new Regex("..") and then remembering I'm in vb.net and not adjusting properly - :) *->>Always working on my game, teach me *->>something new. cout << "dav1d\n";

Thanx for the feedback first of all. (1) but in the code fragment that i showed earlier, why not Serialize to a "String" as opposed to a "MemoryStream" (2) Quote: "An example: If you make a compression routine that compress one file to another, it will do just it." what do u mean by "it will do just it"? norm

e.g., Public Overridable Sub MyMethod() End Sub Then use Public Overrides Sub MyMethod() End Sub in the Derived class Kevin
