Migrating Application FROM Visual Basic

Hi Everyone,
I have an application written in Visual Basic (Front End) and SQL Server as the Back End. Now this application should run on the web i.e need to web enable the application.I have coded in Java for sometime now,but I do not have any prior knowledge as to build a Web application from scratch.Can anyone let me know
how to procced.I would like to use open source like JDK for development.Eclipse for IDE.
Thanks,
Supriya.

First off let's get VB specific -- Are you using Access as a local database and container for your queries? If you are then read on, otherwise, the information already give is excellent and complete enough to get you well on your way.
1 - You are going to have to conver all of your queries either to SQL and store them in a business layer, or create stored procedures for them on the server. I strongly recomend the stored procedure route to hide any detail of your dataserver as much as possible and supply tighter security for table access.
2 - Your web server is going to be a significant ralleying point for your data and return HTML generation, you should take that into consideration with your IT staff and how it will affect other applications on that server. (It will probably not have sufficient impact, unless you already have your own dedicated server for this application)
3 - As mentioned by the others, the Applet/Servlet or JSP/Servlet configuation will serve you very well for your application.

Creating a DLL in Labview 8.6 and calling it from Visual Basic 6.0

Dear friends,
I need to create a DLL in Labview 8.6 and call it from Visual Basic 6.0. The system works as follows:
I made an application using Labview 8.6 + Vision Assistant 8.6 where I can obtain the x,y coordinates of a template in an certain image being captured by an USB camera. The template coordinates change every time it moves and Visual Basic 6.0 must read these x,y values in real time. I found some information in the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3925, but it works for version 6.x of Labview and 8.6 version is different. Am I in the right path? If you have an updated tutorial like the one in the link above but for Labview 8.6 It would be very nice. Please help me.
Kind regards.
João Júnior

Hello Osvaldo,
I analysed the updated tutorial you sent me, but the thing is that it doen't show how to create the DLL in LV 8.6 but only show how to accessing the DLL from VB6. My problem is really HOW TO CREATE THE DLL IN LV8.6. In the link http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3063 there is detailed information about how to do this in LV6.x, the problem is that I don't find the path Tools»Build Application or Shared Library (DLL) in LV8.6, I think the procedure in LV8.6 is a little bit different. Don´t you have an updated tutorial on how to build a dll in LV8.6?How could you help me?
Kind regards.

Calling a dll created with vision 7.0 from visual basic doesn't work

I created a dll using some vision 7.0 functions and Labview 7.0 environment. I call this dll from visual basic. The dll will work fine as long as I don't stop the visual basic program execution. As soon as I stop the program execution the dll will no longer work. I must reload the visual basic environment and the call to the dll will start working again. I created the exact same dll but I created it with vision 6.0 in Labview 6i environment. It works great and has no issues.

Thank you Jordan, I'm using Labview 7.1.
Anyway I've resolved the problem by adding the "lvanlys.dll" file (present in "..\Labview 7.1\resource\lvanlys.dll" path) as support file in the building process. Now the DLL containing the analysis functions works correctly.
Natalino Roberto
Ok, you probably got lucky since the lvanlys.dll seems to implement that function directly. However most Advanced Analysis functions are just redirected by lvanlys.dll to the Intel Math Kerneal Library that gets installed with LabVIEW 7.1 and higher. The only way to get that properly installed with your LabVIEW executable or DLL is to create a LabVIEW installer in your Application Builder and make sure to select under "Installer Settings->Advanced" the "LabVIEW Run-Time Engine" and the "Analyze VIs Support". Then use that installer to install your DLL on another computer.

How can I get the version of the GPIB driver from Visual Basic ?

I want to readout from visual Basic which version of GPIB-Driver is installed on the PC. I must change some parameters for my application when GPIB 2.0 runs instead of 1.7.
Thanks for any solution...

Hi,
The driver should create a key in registry depending on the driver version. Check for the existance of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-488.2M\ (In my case I had a folder called 2.00).
Hope this helps out.

Type Mismatch error while calling a Java Function from Visual Basic 6.0...

Hi,
I'm having a problem in calling the Java Applet's Function from Visual Basic. First, I'm getting the handle of the Java Applet and components of it using "Document.Applets(n)" which is a HTML function. I'm calling this function from Visual Basic. My code is something like this...
' // Web1 is IE Browser in my Form.
Dim Ap,Comp
Dim Bol as Boolean
Bol = true
Ap = Web1.Document.Applets(0).getWindow() ' \\ Gets the Parent Window.
Ap.setTitle("My Java Applet") ' \\ Sets the Title of the window.
msgbox Ap.getVisibility() ' \\ This will return a Java boolean ( true or false )
Ap.setVisibility(Bol) ' \\ Function Syntax is : void setVisibility(boolean b)
Here in my code , i'm able to call any function that which accepts Integer or String but not boolean. So, i m facing problem with Ap.setVisibility() function. It gives me a "Type mismatch error" while executing it. Can you please tell me a way to do this from Visual Basic !
I'm using Visual Basic 6.0, Windows 2000 , J2SDK 1.4.2_05.
Please help me Friends.
Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas Annam.

Hi

How to set transceiver mode to 2-wire TXRDY Auto from Visual Basic

I am using a PCMCIA-485 adapter to interface to some RS-485 sensors. The sensors are connected using a 2-wire interface. I have developed an application in Visual Basic to control the various sensors. However, the application is dependent on the PCMCIA-485 adapter's transceiver mode being configured into the "2-Wire TXRDY Auto" mode. Presently I require the user to configure the transceiver mode by opening up the advanced setting dialog within the device driver for the adapter and manually setting the transceiver mode. I would prefer to have my application take care of this directly. Unfortunately, I cannot find any references that document how to do this.
Can I use Measurement Studio Tools for
Visual Basic to control the transceiver mode of the PCMCIA-485 adapter?

Hello-
There is a registry key in Windows that can change this mode:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial\Parameters\Serial1000X\TransceiverMode
Try experimenting with it by hand first. It may also be necessary to reboot after changing this value.

I want to know how to set the password encrytacion a database. Accdb from Visual Basic 2010 for a report. Rpl

You have to connect via ODBC, then use code along the lines of what is described here:

How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition

I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?

Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.

Does anyone have experience with migrating applications from iAS6.0 SP2 to SP3? Did it go smoothly or are there problems to be expected?

Hi,
I haven't. But, there are lots of changes from each service packs,
henceforth you may have to stick to what the documentation says to avoid
the errors that shoots up. Again, the errors depends upon how you have
coded your application. Please let me know if you have encountered any
errors and the messages for me to help you.

Migrating application from tomcat 3 to tomcat 5

Hello everybody,
Does anyone have information about some kind of manual or tutorial with steps to migrate applications from Tomcat 3 to Tomcat 5??
Thanks a lot,
Johnny

What issues are you having? There have been some important changes between the Servlet and JSP specs between the two but most of these have been additions - nothing that will be too hard to handle.
Does your application use a database? If so there have been configuration changes between Tomcat 3 and 5 but for that the Tomcat 5 docs are very good at telling you what you need.
I would start by trying it and see where you get problems. I think it will be easier than you think, depending on how complicated your app is.

As an alternative you may want to consider writing a "C" DLL that is callable from VB. The DLL would make the Tuxedo "tp" calls and check all the return codes and the functions defined in the DLL would simplify the interface to VB. I have done this successfully in the past.

Vi started from visual basic application

Hi,
I made a small visual basic application which has a "start loop", "stop loop",
and "quit" button. It also has a text box. When I click "start loop", it
calls
a simple vi which generates a random number and sends it back to the
text box of visual basic. This is done repeatedly until the "stop loop" button
is pressed on the vb form. The problem is that when I run the program,
the random numbers are updated correctly on the vb form but the form never
gets the focus (no idle time) so I can never press the stop loop.
Here is part of the code:
Private Sub StartLoop_Click()
' this is the code for the "start loop" button
RepeatLoop = True
Do While RepeatLoop
Call DoLVDataExchange
' the DoLVDataExchange con
tains:
' Call vi.Call(paramNames, paramVals)
Loop
End Sub
Private Sub StopLoop_Click()
' this is the code for the "Stop loop" button
RepeatLoop = False
End Sub
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks for your help!

Check the vi.
I have never done this with VB so I am not sure.
In the VI you may need to add a "Wait MS" and wire in 200 (change to suit your
needs)
Or you may need to add this in the VB code
It sounds like the thing is running full speed and you cant hit the
button fast enough to stop the loop.

Can not select the VISA library (visa32.dll) as a reference from Visual Basic.

I have a copy of Labview base package version 5.1.1 and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 in my PII 333 128M PC. I like to use the NI-VISA feature to develope my own testing program by using Visual Basic. However, the NI-VISA library (i.e. visa32.dll) can not be found from the Visual Basic reference library.

Go PROJECT | REFERENCES menu. In the list, look for "VISA library".
If the list does not show it, then BROWSE the visa32.dll located in the
WinNT\SYSTEM32 folder.
If the VISA library is earlier than V2.x, there is no TypeLib supported.

Hi,
Finally I fixed this issue.
I ran the SybaseServerSync.v35.CAB on the device emulator. Then tried the program. It worked. This helps establish the synchronization between the device and the SUP server. This CAB file can be located at the path <UnwiredServerInstallationLocation>\UnwiredPlatform\ClientAPI\RBS\WM\ServerSync.
