• retrieve comma delimited data from a field in using SQL

  - by Nichols

  I've created a form in php that collects basic information. I have a list box that allows multiple items selected (ie housing, rent, food, water). If multiple items are selected they are stored in a field called Needs seperated by a comma. I have created a report ordered by the persons needs. The people who only have one need are sorted correctly, but the people who have multiple are sorted exactly as the string passed to the database (ie. housing, rent, food, water) -- which is not what i want. Is there a way to seperate the multiple values in this field using SQL to count each need instance/occurance as 1 so that there are no comma delimitations shown in the results? CLICK FOR EXAMPLE

• How do you add firewall permission to an app during installation?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've heard that you can, during installation, add an exception for your app to give permission for it to access the internet through the firewall. Anyone know how to do this?

• How to properly encode "[" and "]" in queries using Apache HttpClient?

  - by Jason Nichols

  I've got a GET method that looks like the following: GetMethod method = new GetMethod("http://host/path/?key=[\"item\",\"item\"]"); Such a path works just fine when typed directly into a browser, but the above line when run causes an IllegalArgumentException : Invalid URI. I've looked at using the URIUtils class, but without success. Is there a way to automatically encode this (or to add a query string onto the URL without causing HttpClient to barf?).

• If I have multiple apps accessing the internet through one ActiveX EXE will just the ActiveX need F

  - by Clay Nichols

  Here's one for a firewall expert: If I have an ActiveX EXE (created in VB6) and use that for several other VB6 apps to access the internet, will I need to only get permission from the Firewall (if it blocks the access) for just the ActiveX EXE, or for each app?

• Are folks using the VB6 "Common Controls Replacement Project" controls? Any caveats or showstoppers?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm considering using the VB6 Common Controls Replacement Project controls and would like to see what other's experiences with them are. Specifically: What do you need to distribute with them? (I assume just the .OCX file) Do I need to register the .ocx file or just include in the app directory? Do these controls depend on any other ocx's? (There is mention, for example in the Progress Bar replacement that it is using COMCTL32.DLL but the .DEP file does not list that DLL. Are they at least as robust as the controls they replace?

• Do you ever make a code change and just test rather than trying to fully understand the change you'v

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm working in a 12 year old code base which I have been the only developer on. There are times that I'll make a a very small change based on an intuition (or quantum leap in logic ;-). Usually I try to deconstruct that change and make sure I read thoroughly the code. However sometimes, (more and more these days) I just test and make sure it had the effect I wanted. (I'm a pretty thorough tester and would test even if I read the code). This works for me and we have surprisingly (compared to most software I see) few bugs escape into the wild. But what I'm wondering is whether this is just the "art" side of coding. Yes, in an ideal world you would exhaustively read every bit of code that your change modified, but I in practice, if you're confident that it only affects a small section of code, is this a common practice? I can obviously see where this would be a disastrous approach in the hands of a poor programmer. But then, I've seen programmers who ostensibly are reading the code and break stuff left and right (in their own code based which only they have been working on).

• Any benefits of using Windows Communication Foundation/ Web Services vs. a simple .aspx page for s

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm working on a VB6 app that will do some very simple communication with a web server (passing value and getting back an anwer. Low bandwith and infrequent use). Someone suggested using WCF or Web Services. I'm wondering what the advantages are vs. just posting to an ASPX page like: Myserver.com/Functions.ASP?FunctionName=GetValue?UserName=BubbGump and returning some simple, easy to parse text, like one value per line.

• Any templates for MS Word for formatting source code (when writing psuedocode)?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm writing an interface spec in MS Word and it would be great if there were some sort of template or pluggin for Word (2003 here) that would make it all look a bit prettier. (I'm realizing how spoiled I am with even the archaic VB6 IDE).

• VB6 code for Reading/Writing Windows Registry values

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm looking for a good example of reading and writing to the Windows Registry using VB6. Yes, I know there are lots of mediocre examples. I spent an hour googling and testing. Some were incredibly complex, others had only some of the functions, and almost none of it had been vetted in any way (voted on). Since Stack Overflow is intended to the canonical location for answers to programming questions, it seems reasonable to post it here.

• How to undelete from the SVN Repository

  - by Clay Nichols

  I accidentally deleted a major folder inside of the Tortoise-SVN Repro Browser. The working folder is unaffected. What is the recommended way to reverse that? Do I just Revert back to the previous version? Or do I need to do a Checkout to that previous version into a new folder and delete the old folder?

• Suggestions/pointers for Post/Get to an .ASP (or .ASPX) page from a desktop app

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm planning to have a desktop app interact with some .ASP or .ASPX pages on a server. I've only done a little bit with .asp pages and I'm thinking I'd just Post or Get a URL with some variables: MySite.com/Functions.asp?FunctionName=?Paramater1=somevalue?Parameter2=... I'm wondering if there is any better way to go about this? Am I missing something? Is there perhaps a better way to go about this?

• Is there something special you need to install to enable the Examples in the VB6 help file?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've always assumed that the VB6 help was just deficient in that few (or no) examples were included. But it does have the link for Example in the help, it's just greyed out and not accessible. Then I thought "maybe there's just something extra in the MSDN that needs to be installed". Any ideas?

• Any way to automatically run some script/EXE when exiting from the VB6 IDE?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'd like to run a script to do a SVN checkin automatically when exiting the VB6 IDE. Is there any easy way to do that from within the IDE? (I guess I could write a script that launches the vb6 ide, waits for it to exit, then runs the script, but I'm hoping for something simpler).

• How to resize an image smoothly (with resampling) using Windows API calls?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I need to resize images and resample them so they don't end up all jagged (I think that's called aliasing). I found some code (sorry, lost the link) that does this in pure VB6 code but it's a bit slow (2-5 seconds) and I'm displaying pictures in real time so I need something faster. I seem to recall seeing some examples of doing this with the GDI+ library. An example in VB6 would be ideal, but I can probably work with a simple example with Windows API calls in another language.

• How do you map a shared CD/DVD drive on the host to a drive letter on the Gues in Windows Virtual PC

  In tprevious versions of Virtual PC, the Host's CD/DVD drives just get assigned drive letters. Nice and neat. But in Windows Virtual PC (Win 7) the drives are all just available but without drive letters. I need to access the Host's CD drive using a drive letter.

  This is somewhat related to a similar post, but that post was Visual Studio 6 in general and a lot of the suggestions didn't apply to VB6. Suggest or vote for tools/tips. Please one tool/tip per post so that everyone can vote on them individually. Include a brief description of what the tools do.

• Looking for example projects and "how to create" VB6 Active X EXE's

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm learning how to create an VB6 Active X EXE. (I need to add the ability for a number of VB6 apps to "phone home" to a server and I'd like centralize this but don't want to do it with a DLL because I'd like to only need Firewall permission for one program (the "phone home ActiveX EXE). I've found a few tutorials but I'm looking for a downloadable project to "play around with".

• Image resizing efficiency in C# and .NET 3.5

  - by Matthew Nichols

  I have written a web service to resize user uploaded images and all works correctly from a functional point of view, but it causes CPU usage to spike every time it is used. It is running on Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I have tried compiling to 32 and 64 bit and get about the same results. The heart of the service is this function: private Image CreateReducedImage(Image imgOrig, Size NewSize) { var newBM = new Bitmap(NewSize.Width, NewSize.Height); using (var newGrapics = Graphics.FromImage(newBM)) { newGrapics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighSpeed; newGrapics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighSpeed; newGrapics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic; newGrapics.DrawImage(imgOrig, new Rectangle(0, 0, NewSize.Width, NewSize.Height)); } return newBM; } I put a profiler on the service and it seemed to indicate the vast majority of the time is spent in the GDI+ library itself and there is not much to be gained in my code. Questions: Am I doing something glaringly inefficient in my code here? It seems to conform to the example I have seen. Are there gains to be had in using libraries other than GDI+? The benchmarks I have seen seem to indicate that GDI+ does well compare to other libraries but I didn't find enough of these to be confident. Are there gains to be had by using "unsafe code" blocks? Please let me know if I have not included enough of the code...I am happy to put as much up as requested but don't want to be obnoxious in the post.

• Is there a way to read an .ini file into memory and then read particular values from it?

• Are there any "gotchas" to watch for in using a Class (object) within itself?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've got a Registry class and there are a few Registry values that I want to access from within that Registry class. (There is a bit of a calculation with these values so I thought I'd just put all that code right in the Registry Class itself). So we might have something within our RegistryRoutine.cls like: Function GetMyValue() as integer Dim R as new RegistryRoutine <calculations> GetMyValue=R.GetRegisetryValue (HKEY, key, value, etc.) End Function
