OK folks, I've made a little progress. Here is the latest. This one has problems with any files but text files. If you put the first file in the pak as an executable, it extracts fine. But 2nd 3rd and so on, no way. This code is driving me crazy!!! A big thanks to Robert Carter for his help on getting me this far. Please keep your ideas a coming folks. I know a lot of people out there can use this if it can ever get finished and fixed. There are still bugs in the code. I don't have many error handlers in it yet. I want to get the basics of the code fixed first, then I'll go back and make this thing proper. This Code was fixed. Look for the AppenderPak by me. It is the same code as this but with fixes.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrating zipping files using the ZipPackage class in this System.IO.Packaging namespace. This demonstration uses: VB.Net 2008 .Net Framwork 3.0

Peer into the brains of a professional programmer to learn how to become a better coder and more easily maintain your code for management and easily allow others to understand.

This is the framework for a mostly complete search engine. It uses ASP to access a database via ADO. It is completely setup and just needs a nice interface (i.e. web page). It is relatively simple and straight forward and is ready to be extended upon. It supports basic boolean operators 'AND' and 'OR'.

a basic banner rotator. please vote for me! www.vbcouk.co.uk

Have ever wondered if there is an ActiveX object that make you browse for a folder. This API functions calls make the browse dialog

This is a fully working INI file reader. It reads an ini file in binary mode and extracts the text into a string. then it checks for certain characters to parse the file with. Finally it compiles the data and creates a tree of the data. the tree is saveable and can be modified (Delete, New, Edit)

This code creates a horizontal or vertical line with a 3D look. You can see it almost in any Windows Application. This is dead simple code to understand. I saw the other 3d Line OCX in a code of the day, and it didn'y include source code. I hate including OCX's so I made my own. If you like this code, vote for me!

This is a basic scientific calculator Supporting all major functions! Nice example for beginning programmers! Don't forget to rate it :)

This code is useful for write, read and delete strings in regestry using wscript. You can now forget the cookies...

Instead of using a META refresh, use an ASP refresh to insure you have the most current copy of the web page.

The aim of this tutorial is to show you how to write a developed kernel in C++. At this stage you should be fairly competent in the use of C++ and to have a little knowledge of how protected mode functions would be recommended. I’ll try my best to walk you through the more important parts of the code.

Tiles a bitmap on your form. Fast and simple. Using the Bitblt API. There isn't much else to say about it. If you want to tile a bitmap on a form, this is as good as it gets.

Format the current data (off the server) in the following format, for example, Tuesday, June 19, 2001.

When this OCX is dropped onto the form, it makes it EXTREMELY easy to set the WHOLE FROM Transparent (well everything except the controls). It can also just set the container transparent (everthing except the controls and the title bar). Please give this a go and give m some feedback as i'm new to this stuff. NB: The original code is not mine i've just downloaded it from somewhere and made it alot better (well, i thinks so anyway). This zip comes with an example app and a compiled OCX.

This will allow you to get BMPs (only Bitmaps) from an Access database using ADO. Officially, Microsoft says this about it in MSDN:INFO: Issues Migrating from DAO/Jet to ADO/Jet ID: Q225048 OLE Container Control Many databases, including the SQL Server 7 Northwind database, contain pictures and other objects saved by Microsoft Access. In Visual Basic, you can see the pictures by binding the OLE Container control to the DAO Data control. However, the OLE Container control is not compatible with the ADO Data control and there is no way to access these pictures and display them using ADO. The OLE Container control cannot be used unbound because GetChunk does not retrieve the data in a format compatible with the ReadFromFile method. Please Vote!

Resizes a form based on the display settings

This code example will append a separator and a new MenuItem 'Always on Top' to the system menu of any form. The menu is affected weather left clicked from the control box on the form or right clicked from the taskbar. Subclassing is used to trap when the 'Always on Top' item is clicked. The custom message handler uses the SetWindowPos function to keep window on top or reset it to normal. Also on a lark I traped out the close menu item to prompt before closing. If you say yes then the close message it passed otherwise the close message is traped out and the form stays open.

This code and the accompanying tutorial show you how to make a screen saver using three functions. I wrote the tutorial and coded the project after reading about six screen saver tutorials on this site. NOTE THAT YOU MUST RENAME SCREENSAVER.EXE TO SCREENSAVER.SCR BEFORE EXECUTING IT, OR IT WILL DO NOTHING.

Just used for debugging querystring data. Creates an orderd list of field names and the values assigned to each one.
