Add Application As A Resource?
Oct 30, 2008
I recently picked up the VS.net 2008 Trial, looking to possibly buy it. I added a splash form, and not even the default code works. First, I got the error "'My' is not defined". I went under my project, clicked the resources tab, and it asked me to create a resources file. So I did. Now, 'My' is defined, however 'My.Application' does not work. I'm assuming I simply have to add Application as a resource, just as I did with My.Resource. I'm not sure how to do this, and I apologize if this has been asked before. I did do a search but it yielded no results. 'My' was a bit too vague and returned no results, 'not defined' was a bit too vague and returned a bunch of results

I understand this is possible but I am not sure where to start. I want to either buy or create an application that captures a resource from another application so that I can fire off another application. In other words, I want to start an application (which I did not write) that is database driven so the form has a number of text boxes. When someone keys something into that field I want to be able to validate the value, outside of the original application. For instance, if the program asks for a zipcode and it doesn't validate the zipcode, I'd like to trap for that and write something that would validate it. At this point I don't think I'd have to send anything back to the textbox/resource.

i was wondering if i could access a folder inside the Resources folder of the application?
i would make it to eliminate the use of the debug directory in storing files and to use the clickonce deployment.

How can i make it so when my application has been compiled, a user can press a button, and then save a file within the exe its self (thus, a resource). Or text in a text document (not a setting, because when the exe changes places on a user computer, it will loose its settings. The main need for this is so that the exe can change locations / computers, but still retain the origional data (or text) stored in it.

I'm going to be using a text file to record and save values, line by line, and then pull these values out again upon restarting the application. Almost like a save file of sorts, just for some basic numeric variables.Getting the information in and out won't be too much of an issue, however I am wondering if there is a way that during the installation of this application, I could specify a place to create and save this text file, for eg:
c:ProgramFilesPOSxstocklevels.text
I have VS8 Professional, so I do have the Setup Wizard tool, which may allow me to attach files.

I have a question abour string type resources and hope this is the proper place to ask it.I know how to create a string (type) resource file. I also know how one localizes this file by adding the appropriate language abbreviation (i.e., es, en, etc.) after the name of the file (i.e., str_resource.es.resource).None of this is terribly difficult. However, I haven't been able to fine how to do what I want to do.
Specifically, because I have an enormous number of strings (button labels, labels, registry strings [key_names and values, etc.), error messages and such) I would like to create multiple string resource files - one for each of these items. For example:

I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.

I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.

What i have going on, is i have a MySQL connector as a resource on my application, and im basically trying to connect to my MySQL server, to either a) register a new account, or b) check that the account exists and they are premium, and login, Now what i have run into problems with is: My MySQL Database Name has a _ in it which VB is not allowing for some strange reason.
The code i am using is below
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Public Class Form1
Function UpdateRecord(ByVal query As String) As Integer
[CODE]...
How i can allow the _ into the application, because the only databases that don't have a _ in the user or dbname are a) Paid ones which i DO NOT have the money for or self hosted ones, i cannot leave my computer on 24/7

Sometimes I am not able to replicate code offered in several threads because the syntax is not recognized by what I have already installed under VB Express 2008. For instance:
One code snippet included the "Excel.Application" class. Yet even after importing the "Microsoft.Office.Interpol" resource upon adding the "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library", "Application" is not recognized.
How does one know which resource is needed to support particular functions?

Bob Tabor posted a series called "Visual Basic Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners." In his series, he explains many key foundations of programming to beginner programmers. I happened to find some of his videos helpful which is why I post this.
The series can be found on Channel 9, which is under the operation of Microsoft.[URL]..I haven't watched all of his videos at this point but it is definitely a great reference to brush up on old concepts or to give to newer developers in need of learning material.

Right now i have a line of code, in vb, that calls a text file, like this:
Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("data5.txt")
data5.txt is a resource in my application, however the application doesn't run because it can't find data5.txt. I'm pretty sure there is another code for finding a .txt file in the resource that i'm overlooking, but i can't seem to figure it out.

I don't completely understand the embedded resource. Here's what I'm trying to do.I've added a PDF to the application Resources using "Add Resource." It appears to add the resource as a BYTE (I'm assuming some type of binary file). I want to simply display this PDF in a PDF component I've added to the application.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AxAcroPDF1.src = My.Resources.aamaspoker End Sub This is not working because .src is expecting a "string" but the resource PDF is a BYTE. So what obvious thing am I missing here about using PDFs as resources?

I want to create a Resource-Only DLL so that I can use it in conjunction with desktop.ini files.All of the information I've seen so far, however, has been with C++ libraries. The steps outline in that URL don't seem too difficult, but I would rather create it in VB since I'm a lot more familiar with it.
With that being said, does anyone know what I need to do in order to do this with VB? The C++ instructions don't carry over well.I've been looking at DropBox because they do what I'm looking for. Except instead of using another library, they use the DropBox executable and set the IconDex appropriately. That would be ideal of course, but I can't find a reference point for the IconIndex, for starters.
