Dim a as new AccesoDatos.CRMWEB.AccesoDatos.contacto_cliente_autoCD
a.contacto_cliente_auto_Insert(contacto_id, cliente_id, serie)

Ya that is true the best way to learn is MSDN documents , also use the intellisense in Visual Studios , it would be too hard to mention about all attributes , but if you have specific doubts , may be i can help

Your are developing a game and hence , you need a reliable connection (you need to know if you are connected or not , etc ) , would say Use a TCP connection , also u are right there is Winsock control in .net but there is a library stronger than it , it is under the Namespace System.Net , use it , also if you are developing a game may be your are using directx , it also has a component called as direct play , which can be used for communication , i case you are using directx Let me know if you need more info

These are called attributes, this not something very new , the code above seems to use a native windows API (Windows API can be considered as functions provided by OS , to be able to program the OS), This Windows API are present in the dll files Kernel32.dll , GDI32.dll, etc , so in above code we are using attribute "<dllimport("kernel32.dll")>" to tell the compiler that we want to use a windows function WaitForSingleObject() which is present in Kernel32.dll , in the same way we want the compiler to allocate the memory in sequential order hence use an attribute <structlayout(layoutkind.sequential,pack:> (the reason for this sequential allocation is a different topic , let me know if you want details regarding the reason , for now I will skip it :)) Hope this make things clear, let me know if you need further information

Hi, There are two solutions that comes to my mind at this point.(i am assuming the website you have mentioned is under your control) 1) you store the file on an FTP server , and then use the FTP class provided in .net to check if there is file available (Also we can use a date time stamp to check if we really want the file), then download the file and run the file using "Shell". 2) using a web service , you write a web service which will provide the file to you , then from windows application call the web service , get the file and run using "Shell". Please let me know if this what you want(Let hope :) ) , i am just trying to give you direction to think , if you need more help let me know .

Hi Vinziee , You can try the following code , also do not forget to Import System.Net In the following example we use the service of DNS , first we find the host of current computer then try to get list of computer from this DNS. I hope this works .

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
GetAllIP()
End Sub
Public Function GetAllIP() As Integer

    Dim strHostName As New String("")
    strHostName = Dns.GetHostName()
    Console.WriteLine("Local Machine's Host Name: " + strHostName)
    Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(strHostName)
    Dim addr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList

    Dim i As Integer = 0
    While i < addr.Length
        TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & vbCrLf & String.Format("IP Address {0}: {1} ", i, addr(i).ToString())
        System.Math.Max(System.Threading.Interlocked.Increment(i), i - 1)
        Application.DoEvents()
    End While
    Return 0
End Function

Hi Geri, I think you may find something using "Windows Hooks" , you need to search for it , i am assuming that if registry value is changed a message or notification should be sent to the system , we can use "Windows Hooks" to get this message form the system's message queue (i am not not sure about the method , just try to mention a possible solution) , the above two methods u mentioned do pooling on to registry , which not good always :)

I really don't understand what you are trying to do , but the error you are getting is because you have not initialized the array ink() , it is still Nothing and hence are getting the error , was not able to understand the logic you are trying to apply , looking at the code it don't think it is going draw anything :( . The only thing i can suggest is initialized the array before using it.

Hi Jacob, I ya know Microsoft's sycn framework is bit hard to understand , but some times proves worth all the time you put in , anyways if your problem is solved without using it , its gr8 , any thing which works fine is fine :)

Don't you think the question is completely out of context ??????????

I think the problem is not related to threads , it is something to do with creating proper instance of a class. When from Form2 you call Form.SerialPort1.IsOpen you are not creating an instance of Form1 which means Form1_Load never gets called , and hence the code inside the Form1_Load event is not called ,keeping the the port closed , in Form2 try this , just before Debug.Print(Form1.SerialPort1.IsOpen) statements put the following statements

Form1.Show()
Form1.Hide()

We are forcing the Form1 to load. Let me know if this answers you question Feel free to ask if something is not clear

-Regards Bharat Jain bharat.jain.nagpur@gmail.com

No Clue !! , it does not seem that any threading is used in the code you pasted , i am really not able to think of any other cause of problem :(

Are you using Microsoft's Sync Framework ?? If yes then it is been taken care Microsoft's Sync Framework , if not if it is a query base update then in most case the query with a were clause at the end (update table where id = ? ) if sql does not find a record it does not update anything and move ahead , it is not necessary for for sql to update something. I hope this is understandable
