Implementating Web Transaction Systems

This project is basically to demonstrate an ASP Based transaction system. That is, you will learn how to implement Winsock transactions in ASP.

You can use this component not just for implementing ECommerce transactions - but for any kind of socket based communication. Once you learn this project, you will get the concept for developing and implementing a number of features/technologies - like SMS, Chat Systems, Interaction with third party gateways, Instant Messengers etc.

This consists of three sections.

1) A COM DLL For wrapping Winsock Functionality.
2) An ASP file to test the component.
3) A Simple server to test the working of the system.

Each project is explained step by step, and the coding style is very simple with full of comments, so that even a very beginner can understand it with out Fuss or Frills.

A. THE ARCHITECTURE
We will develop the component as a COM DLL. As you know, later, we can create instances of this socket component from ASP pages, to send and receive data. The project package with this article contains:
SockObject - A well explained COM DLL, which shows you how to create a Wrapper class for using Sockets.
Test Server - A standard EXE server for testing the functionality of SockObject, and for giving you the concept of writing a server. Very simple and well commented. It just echoes the data comes to it.
An ASP file - A file named default.asp, for calling the SockObject to communicate with the server.
Please note these projects are interdependent. In our ASP file, we will:
Create an instance of the SockObject in the ASP file.
Sends the data to the Test Server, to get the reply.
Destroy the SockObject.

B. CONFIGURING THE PROJECT
To make the project up and running:
Remember that you need IIS or PWS in your system, to test the system.
Kindly go through these steps.

1) Copy the default.asp file in the with this project, to any comfortable directory in the web root (for example, if the installation path of your web server is c:\inetpub\wwwroot, create a directory MYDIR there and copy the default.asp file to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MYDIR).
2) Open and run the SockObject project in Visual Basic
3) Open and run the Test Server project in Visual Basic
4) Type the URL to the default.asp file. (eg: http://localhost/mydir/default.asp)

C. A LITTLE HELP FROM YOU?
I would like to request a little help from you, just if you have any option to provide it to me.

I recently developed a website that enables established training companies working in the field of Certification Training, and now I'm planning to sell out the site to established firms/organizations. Are you in touch with any such firms/organizations? Or if you are interested in a possible business tie-up with me, for finding a potential client to market it?

Access to your POP3 mailbox with FreePOP

FreePOP is an ActiveX control that allows read/write access to a POP3 mailbox and the messages in the mailbox. With this control you will not be able, on the other end, to access a SMTP server to send e-mail.
With this ActiveX control, you can:

* find out the number of unread messages in a POP3 mailbox.
* access to the various headers of a message (i.e. Subject, Date, From, etc.)
* retrieve the contents of a message.
* selectively delete a message.
* read a message directly into a file.

Once you have added the control to a form, it will be invisible and you'll be able to manage it with a set of properties and methods.

To install, extract the contents of the ZIP archive in a custom folder and run Setup.Exe. To use the control, go to Project>Components in VB and mark the line FreePOP 4.0.1. Remember that the control is invisible at runtime.

The ZIP archive contains a HTML guide to the control. Be sure to read it.

Optimize your code: Size & Speed

Here are some tips for optimizing your code mainly for speed.
I found some tips by Billy&George Software and Peter Dimitrov, if you want to get some more, search VB Online for "Optimizing for speed", "Optimizing code" and "Optimizing for size".
Take a minute to think over these pieces and you'll find that your code can be made much faster.

Use variables instead of constants
If you are using given constant many times in your code, then why don't you store it in a variable and use the variable later. See the following two extracts of code. The second one executes faster.

'Executes 1
For X = 1 to 10000
A = X * 3.1415927
Next X

'Executes 2
PI = 3.1415927
For X = 1 to 10000
A = X * PI
Next X

Use simpler math operations
Different types of calculation take different time for the computer to process. Thus wherever you can, replace expressions like X * 2 with X + X, A / 10 with A * 0.1 or A^2 with A * A. They really run faster.

Be careful with repeating operations
Sometimes, a certain calculation may be done several times in vain. This could happen in many different ways. I will illustrate it with two simple examples.

'Executes 1
For X = 1 to 1000
For Y = 1 to 100
P = X * 10 + Y
Next Y
Next X

'Executes 2
For X = 1 to 1000
T = X * 10
For Y = 1 to 100
P = T + Y
Next Y
Next X

The second example runs better, because X * 10 is repeated only 1000 times compared to 100000 times in the first one.

Stop the Visual Basic scrollbar flashing

The problem with the Visual Basic Scrollbar is that it flashes. This is to indicate that it has focus. You can either set the Focus to something else on a form when the Scrollbar receives focus, or set the TabStop property to False:

Scrollbar.TabStop = False

You will need to have another control on the form. If there isn't one the scrollbar will continue to flash. A PictureBox is a good control for this because it can receive focus but has no visible indication of this.

Printing tips: Printing Orientation

The Printer.Orientation property is a constant problem. Like many of the Printer Properties whether it has any effect is dependent on the printer driver.

Microsoft have a work-around called Pageset. This project changes the Default Printer settings to change the Orientation. One oversight on Microsoft's part is that it assumes the Default Printer Orientation setting is 'Portrait' so the Reset routine (that should be called after printing) will change the setting to 'Portrait'.

PageSet.exe is a self-extracting executable file that contains a DLL file that allows you to programmatically change the printer orientation.
This DLL is particularly useful when dealing with the Data Report, which reads the default printer orientation prior to displaying or printing a report. PageSet.exe allows you to programmatically change and reset your printer orientation.

PageSet.exe Programmatically Changes Default Printer Orientation.

Enhancing the Visual Basic Printer Object

qPrinter 1.6 allows programmers to add good quality print support to their applications. Documents can be constructed and edited through code. The Visual Basic Printer Object is extremely basic. When you have been using Visual Basic and Object Orientated Programming it is surprising to find how poor the Printer Object is in VB. Even simple features like basic word wrap facilities are not supported and most 'properties' include a disclaimer from Microsoft that their functionality is dependent on the Printer driver.

Read Registry values in VB without API

Often you'll want to manipulate the Windows registry in Visual
Basic without resorting to lengthy API calls. Fortunately you can
with the Registry Access Functions (RegObj.dll) library. This DLL
lets you create a Registry object with which you can manipulate
specific keys. For example, in a previous tip we showed you how
to use the WebBrowser control to display an animated GIF.

Unfortunately, the WebBrowser is only available if the target
machine also has Internet Explorer installed. As a result, you
may want to display an alternative image if Internet Explorer
isn't available. To determine if IE is installed on the target
Windows 95 machine, first set a reference in your project to
Registry Access Functions. Then use code similar to that below:

Dim myReg As New Registry, KeyFound As Boolean
Dim HasIE As Boolean, sValue As String
sValue = ""
KeyFound = myReg.GetKeyValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\" & _
"App Paths\IEXPLORE.EXE", "Path", sValue)
If KeyFound Then HasIE = (sValue <> "")
If HasIE Then MsgBox sValue 'contains the path to IE

Set myReg = Nothing

The Lazy Admin

This is a Visual Basic 6 (Works on Vista:) app which uses Microsoft's WMI to interact with, and gather live information from remote computers on the network. (Who's logged in, uptime, etc).

This software was written in Visual Basic 6 by Nick Sartor with credit also going to Tim Hunter.
The purpose of it is to allow us to sit on our asses more. It provides us with important information about
computers on our network, such as serial number, Mac address, etc. While a lot of the information from this
software can be obtained from the command prompt or using vbScript, I wanted a single place to obtain this
information. You must be an administrator on the computer you wish to connect to.
This has been tested on Windows XP SP2 and Vista Beta 2.

How to make flexible and efficient memory access

Techically savvy Visual Basic programmers for long have had to deal with VB's limited type system and lack of support for casting and pointer manipulation. Although type-safety generally is a very good thing, when you need to call the windows API or optimize a piece of code the strict type checking mechanism only tends to get in the way. Unfortunately, apart from a couple of unsupported low-level statements (i.e. VarPtr, ObjPtr, StrPtr and AddressOf) the language simply does not like untyped data and does a good job of discouraging you to use it. Most VB programmers eventually learn to live with this and unwillingly resort to the far from elegant but seemingly omnipresent abuse of an otherwise obscure API function exported by kernel32.dll, the discovery - and for that matter also first application in this context - of which should be contributed to Hardcore Visual Basic author and (classic) VB guru Bruce McKinney, although the entry point is actually quite useful for VB programmers when used to do what it was meant for in the first place.

Michael Rutten has wrote this article for you: "Hidden Gems for Free, Exposing undocumented memory access functions in Visual Basic 6".

Right here you will found and allow to pull the same low-level tricks in Visual Basic as in any given programming language.

Access to IDE with vbAdvance

VB5 and VB6 are able to build true Win32 native code executables by using what is essentially the Visual C++ compiler and linker. These build tools are a part of every VB 5 and VB 6 installation* and are as full featured as those found in Visual C++. However, the Visual Basic user interface provides access to only a subset of the capabilities found in this extremely powerful build system. For example, function exports and console subsytem applications can be built using the tools that ship with VB 5 and 6, but VB does not provide you with a way to access these features. The features are not missing, you just aren't given a way to access them..

vbAdvance gives you this access. On a per-project basis, you are able to access and configure these powerful build settings, as well as a host of other IDE convenience features. The result is that a range of capabilities that were previously unavailable are now made available to VB developers.

Put your VB application into deep sleep

There may be occasions when you want an application to wait for a specified period of time without performing activity or wait loops. The Timer control can help, but only up to 60 seconds.

The Sleep Windows API function lets you put the application to sleep. Enter the following declaration into a standard module.

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Then, simply call the function from your code, as in:

Sleep 5000

In this case, the 5000 milliseconds puts the application to bed for 5 seconds. You can specify your own period of time, though.

DB2 stored procedures in Visual Basic 6.0: If you're a database administrator or stored procedure author for DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS, you might use server-side tests (in COBOL) to test stored procedures. But there are also benefits in running some simple client-side tests. More on db2 stored procedures and vb db2 connectivity

------------------------------------------
If you are a database administrator or stored procedure author for IBM DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS, you probably use server-side tests (in COBOL) to test your server-side stored procedures. However, there are also benefits to taking the extra step in running some simple, client-side tests. By doing this, you can be aware of complications arising from communication or system problems related to stored procedures before client-side application developers try to use those stored procedures.

For example, if the database server is DB2 for OS/390 or z/OS, the complications that might arise include TCP/IP services being down or problems with the SQL stored procedure builder/processor DSNTPSMP. Creating these client-side tests can give you a better understanding of the way in which your database and stored procedures are being used (which might affect system and stored procedure design and implementation choices). Finally, the experience of creating and running client-side tests help you bridge the communication gap that sometimes develops between you and the client-side application developers.

Highlights include:

* Sample 1: Calling a stored procedure
* Sample 2: Navigating a result set
* Sample 3. Navigating multiple result sets
* Sample 4: Calling a stored procedure that takes one parameter
* Sample 5: Calling a stored procedure with multiple parameters
* Appendix A. Unattended batch processing
* Appendix B. Adding a graphical user interface
* Appendix C. Sample stored procedures in COBOL

Create data report as .txt file

Create your own Data Report in text file format, No need to use any third party Report writer, Try its very easy....

This bit of code will create a data report as a .txt file, thus eliminating the need for a third-party reporting application. To make it work, you must add a file scripting reference in your project before running this code. In addition, the author notes that this snippet creates a sample report from a generic table, so be sure to set the data fields according to your database.

Cetak Data Report Landscape (VB6)

“Report Width is Larger Than the Paper Width”

Pesan error yang sering kali membuat kita kesal ketika sedang kerja menampilkan atau mencetak data report dengan Visual basic 6.0.

Hal ini terjadi karena lebar report yang sudah kita desain dengan Data Report melebihi lebar kertas yang tersedia, misalnya kita membuat sebuah report dalam bentuk landscape dan pada saat mencetak aplikasi yang kita buat tidak bisa merubah seting printer kita dari portrait menjadi landscape.

Secara default Visual Basic 6.0 tidak memiliki fasilitas untuk merubah setting default printer dari portrait menjadi landscape atau sebaliknya. Untuk mengatasi hal ini adalah dengan “PageSet”.

Visual Studio 6.0 SP5 setup on Vista RTM

This tutorial teaches you to install Visual Studio 6 with Service pack 5 under Windows Vista RTM. I don't know if it works for Service pack 6 but I recommend sp5 anyhow.

- Right click on Setup.EXE from the Visual Studio 6 CD (MSVS98) and choose 'Run As Administrator' (take note it doesn't matter if your user is already an administrator you still must 'Run as Administrator')
- You may encounter some strange 'Yes/No' questions which you may not know the answers to that have not prompted you during Visual Studio Setup before. I don't remember what I clicked exactly, but I remember one of them said 'Do you want to overwrite your 'blah blah' settings?' and I clicked 'No'.
- You will need to reboot twice during installation
- Before running Service pack 5 setup, you must make modifications to the file 'sp598ent.stf' here's how to do that (note some of the spaces have been truncated, try to not remove the extra space in the stf file when modifying it)...

Step 1) Open C:\ServicePack5Dir\sp598ent.stf with 'Notepad.exe'
Step 2) Replace the following line;

13 Group 28 36 38 29 30 32 26 27 14 25 16 17 20 18 19 15 39 21 22 24 23 43

-with-

13 Group 28 38 29 30 32 26 27 14 25 16 17 20 18 19 15 39 21 22 24 23 43

Step 3) Delete the following lines leaving only a carriage return where it was

36 Depend "27 ? : 37"
37 IsWin95 CustomAction "sp598ent.dll,CheckForMDAC"

Step 4) Save and close C:\ServicePack5Dir\sp598ent.stf

- If you do not wish to modify this file yourself, you may download it directly from this url...
http://www.tnexgen.com/vs6sp5/sp598ent.stf
- Once you are done with that, you must run right click 'setupsp5.exe' and choose 'Run as Administrator' (if you do not run as administrator it will not work)
- Service Pack 5 Setup should work fine now.

MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 Downloads

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that provides users with a powerful multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query Language) database solution. It is fast, robust, and easy to use. Information system managers who oversee MS ACCESS database systems that are beginning to show their age may wish to consider converting their ACCESS files to MySQL files. Data moved to MySQL can continue to be accessed using already-developed ACCESS queries, forms, and reports.

Sending an SMS using CEMAPI

Background

SMS or Simple Messaging Service is a means of sending a short message (160 characters max) to another SMS capable device via the GSM network. On Pocket PC Phone edition devices and Windows CE Smart phones, when selecting a folder, there should have been at least an ActiveSync and SMS message store and possibly an MMS message store as well.

These message stores hold messages from different transport providers locally on the device.

For the purposes of this article, we will be concentrating on the SMS message store as we want to use this to send a message.
Using the code

To make the code simpler and easier to understand, the bulk of the code uses MFC for the User Interface and ATL for smart pointer support.

If people request it, I may make a Win32 only version available as the relevant code (i.e., not the UI code) only requires ATL and not MFC.

In this article, I am not going through a listing of the creation of the MAPI session and opening of the SMS message store and outbox folder. The code is well commented and provided in the source zip file in the two functions GetSMSMsgStore and GetSMSFolder which get the relevant SMS message store and the SMS drafts folder.
