I downloaded smallbasic which is great, I then wanted to go to the next step and use visual basic. What I want to do is load a picturebox with a random picture from flickr. In smallbasic this is a simple step eg
This gets a random picture with a moutnains tag from flickr and puts it in a graphics window.
I want to do the same in visual basic 2008. I can load a picturebox component from a know web location as follows; PictureBox1.ImageLocation = [url]
I have looked at some information on flickr and the code looks excessive going into details about authorizing etc. I want to use visual basic 2008 as I need the extra flexibility that it gives over smallbasic.
I want to add the ability to post images to facebook or Flickr in my app. Basically, they just browser for the file using an OpenFileDialog to get the path. Then they click an 'Upload to Flickr' or 'Upload to Facebook' option. Unfortunately - i have no idea how to do the upload to facebook/flickr part? How is it done?
I am making a game. In the game there is a picture box and three buttons. A picture is supposed to pop up and the player is supposed to click the button that best suits the picture. if it is answered correctly another random picture is supposed generate. How can I do this
i am a complete beginner in VB, I need help for a very simple cards game that I am doing. I need to associate a random picture to a Picturebox every time that I click on a button. I can set the visible property to the picture, but it is always the same picture that shows up, and I would like it to be randomly generated instead, (from a series of card pictures that I have in a folder.)
trying to finish up some odds and ends of a game I am making.I have 9 picture boxes, and after the user picks one, i want the computer to randomly pick another, then the user and so on until all 9 boxes are full.This is what I have so far. It will let the user click a box with one character, then the user has to click another box and it fills it with the other character, but instead of the user having to click the second time, i want it to be automatically filled, unless it is already filled.
i am making a game in visual basic and when the picture box that you have to shoot resets, sometimes it resets off the form i use this code to make the picture box move randomly.[code]
I have a number of images that I want to select a random number of and populate that number of picture boxes either dynamically or that already exist but can't think of the logic that would do it.
I considered dynamically creating them but don't know of a way to name them uniquely. I tried using pcbx& a variable but it didn't like that. Placing the image inside picture boxes that already exist, I couldn't think of a way to differentiate between them without what seemed excessive repetitive coding.
I have a picture box and I tell it to appear on a random location on another specified larger picture box.
here's my code:
Code: Sub P2_AppleMove() Dim P2ax As Integer = CInt(Int((P2Foodarea.Width * Rnd()))) ' sets the random area of the food
[Code]....
P2foodarea is a large picture box I created. I only want the apple to spawn on P2Foodarea, atm, it spawns on P1Foodarea which is very weird. P1foodarea is a whole other picture box. I even made new variables as you can see P2ax and P2ay, but it still doesn't spawn on P2Foodarea. I have even tried recreating a new picture box for P2foodarea
Still working on a very simplistic poker game and I'm struggling with getting the code to show my cards in picture boxes. I currently have 12 picture boxes set up on my form and when clicking the "deal" button I created on the form, I would like a random number to be generated from 1-53 and based on the number returned I would like a picture of a playing card entered into the picturebox. I would like this to happen in 10 picture boxes. So playing cards will be shown in the picture box on 10 of them and a the card back on the picture box 11 and 12. After hitting a second button, I would like the 11th and 12th boxes to display a card from the deck.
With all that being said my questions are:
1. How do I associate the random numbers with my playing cards? (I have my card pictures in a file on my computer.)
2. How do I get the picture of the cards into the picture boxes? What would the code look like?
3. I have a button to clear all the cards, but how to I program it.
I've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......
The class Random is out right defective. It always produces the same random numbers in the same sequence. Things I have tried so far is every kind of seed you can think of as well as Randomize. The result is that I always get the same random numbers in exactly the same sequence.
I am practicing using the drawing commands, and have gotten a grass background and black happy face that moves around the background.It's a 10x10 grid of 50 pixels.I want (at the moment, when i press enter) it to generate a random number of trees (15 ~ 25) at random locations on the background. The program doesn't freak out about anything, and the variables seem to be right (using stop commands) but it's not drawing anything. Here is the code for the "GenerateTrees" command I have for when I press enter.
Private Sub GenerateTrees() NumberOfTrees = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 15 For i = 0 To NumberOfTrees - 1 bmap.MakeTransparent(Color.Fuchsia)
I would like to use integers generated by Random.org in a small desktop widow app. Im using visual basic. All My search terms bring up unrelated (to My issue) information. Currently I am using the local random statement/command.
I am trying to make a texas hold em game and it is of the utmost importance that my code generate a random number. But using a random number function that I always end up with a lot of the same numbers over and over again. Any ideas on how to make it "TRULY" random? [code]
I've made an image viewer which opens a random image from a specified folder, but the random number is not that random at all... I've already used Randomize(), but without result.
1- how I can put picture in tool strip and put it convert to split button without the picture go invisible when i click on it
2- how can I make tabs in the forms
3- I want to put pictures in the form in the same place For Example when the user check the radio button or when the user choose the name in the combo box a specific picture should be display?
how to display picture using the Application.startup path? i want to locate the picture in my bin folder inside my debug folder as i selected the name of the candidate in the combo box.

I want to add a .ico to a notifyicon, but i get this message:Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as a Icon?What is the problem? It is a .ico file..
I don't take programming lessons at school or anything, and I'm starting to (try to) teach myself about random things.Currently I'm making an app that has 3 functions:
-Random Integer (1 to 100) -Random Answer (Yes or No, similar to a coin flip) -Random Dice Roll (1 to 6)
How would I go about doing this?At the moment all I know about random numbers etc. is that I will need to do something along the lines of Dim dice As New Random or something like that, but, like I mentioned, I have no idea.I am well aware of the DIC rules that you won't write the code for me/do my "homework(?)" for me, and that's not what I'm asking.
I have VS 2008 and use VB, not C#/C++ or whatever else. I'm trying to make a battleship game, and I've decided to use the only method I can think of to control the grid. A 2D boolean array for position marking. I have the array set up, and the grid set up in the design form, but I can't figure out with all my research how to link them together. I'm writing this program to shake off the rust before school starts again, and for fun. I took VB in school last year, a half year class, so I have a foundation, now I'm self-educating myself above and beyond the class. I've searched for a way to use a picture box array to use the coordinates of the ship to .Visible=True the picture boxes. I've been working on this for 2 days straight with no results. I just need a little nudge in the right direction. The exception I've been getting with my latest concoction of code is NullReferenceException was Unhandled. I think its referring to the fact that I have no idea how to link the picture boxes into the array. Here's my code, and I'll comment where the exception is thrown:
Private Sub cmdStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdStart.Click 'label for GoTo statements is Tryline:
I have this code in my system which I use to retrieving images from a database by formatted blob. But some database records don't have pictures ([BLOB - 0 B]). list code for me to place an error picture in picture box1 when a picture is not available.
Dim bytes() as byte bytes = (objdr("picture")) Dim memStream as New MemoryStream(bytes) PictureBox1.image = Drawing.Image.FromStream(memStream)
In a form I have two picture box and I want to drag the picture from the picturebox to a blank picture box and have that picture pasted there, how do I do that? I'm using VB.net 2003.
I need to display a arrow picture over another picture. But i cant able to make arrow picture transparent other than the arrow. Always it is in rectangle format(Picture box). I tried the picture box color to transparent, But that doesn't worked. A separate user control for displaying transparent image will be appreciated.
VS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.
