View 1 RepliesI'm making a map creator that chooses images randomly from various sets. What I'm trying to do is set up subfolders in Resources and put the different images in each folder - e.g., a folder for streets, a folder for monuments, etc. Then I just make an array of images out of the files in the folder, and pick one.
For some reason, I can't find a simple way of getting at the subfolders. I've tried using IO.Path.GetFullPath(My.Resources.ResourceManager.BaseName) and appending the folder name to the end of it, but no luck.
Is there some other way of getting the path? Is it even possible to use subfolders of Resources? Is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to accomplish? I'd really like to avoid creating the image arrays by hand.
Is there a way to running program exe that i embeded into my exe program without need to extract it, and run it from shell ?
View 1 RepliesHow do I open this .REG file in Visual Basic 2010?
I'm trying to make a program that will launch this registry file that I've put already in the Resources folder of the program.
BTW if you're curious it's not a harmful program I'm making.
So all I've done so far is put the file in the resources folder of the program, but I don't know how to actually launch it.
I'm developing a very simple program in VB2010 Express that will create folders based on entries in a remote database. I am fully aware that the minimum requirement to run the exe is the latest .net framework, however I have a few added resources to the file, and when I try to run the executable on another computer, it fails to run stating that the resources are missing.
How do i compile my VB code AND the resources together into a stand-alone executable that only requires the .net framework to be installed?I have already tried to google this issue, however every answer I find has nothing to do with my initial question..
I am trying to bootup other executeable file from my project's resources folder, and I can't figure out how
View 2 RepliesSo in VB.NET I created a resource file called "source.txt" (as its a text file). My program will take in the text in the file, and then compile it into an executable.
How do I access this file which is in my resources folder in my project?
1. Place a PDF file in the resources and open it in my program using 'AxAcroPDF1.src'
2. Place a txt file in the resources, open and change it.

View 3 RepliesIs there any way to do so? I know its possible to programmatically eject/retract the cd drive SOMEHOW, cause Roxio does that when it prompts me to insert a disk.
Either c# or vb.net is preferable, but c and c++ are okay too as a last resort.
I am nearly positive there is some way to do this, I just don't know the methods to call.

View 6 RepliesI have developed a small ms-access based software with vb.net.
I've added auto-update capabilities to the software (mostly by using clickonce) to simplify the release of new features.
Every version of the software executes the update routine which may update also the existing database.Lately i've made few changes on the database structure adding few stored queries, so i want the autoupdate code to programmatically add these new queries to the existing database and make it perfectly up to date.
I haven't already found a solution to add stored queries to an ms-access database using odbc...I also tried to use the "CREATE PROC" sql statement but it does not seem to work with access databases, even if i create the query form the Microsoft Office Access front-end.I've found some examples that uses ADODB, but i'm using odbc to remain both x86 and x64 compliant.
want to make a custom calendar. For that I made a table of 7 cols and 6 rows and added 42 buttons in it. I added an event handler. I used this file in other form and when I click at the button the event is fired in form2. I understand this is not hte efficient way to add so many buttons. As it is a calendar, so I got to add dates to buttons based on month selected.I am finding that part difficult. For this feature, I think I should add buttons dynamically. But I can't make out how to add buttons to each cell of the table. Later on each buttons text will also change. I have added the code written so far :
Public Partial Class CalendarControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
Public mnthNo As Integer

This sounds pretty stupid, and it's not challenging at all. There is a wave file, which is what I want to publish. Then I can't find it in Solution Explorer. And when I publish it in Clickonce, the wave file is gone, as with the Resource folder. Now I want to make the Pesource folder appear and enbedded in the excute file code, that is, there is also a "Resource" and in which there is the very wave file. This is my code. It means I want to click this button and play a wave in Resource folder.

I've been working with VB for some time using my.resources.I recently installed it on a new computer(Windows 7 ),everything works fine...well almost.
I'm trying to teach my cousin how to change images in an image box using a button.I did it on my computer and it worked,but it wont work on his.Exact same code and images.
Here is what I did:
After having everything set-up I import the 2 images I want to use.
Then inside the click event for the button I write picturebox1.image = my.resources.picture1 "and here is where it doesn't work.It says I don't have any images in my resources named that.Instead it gives me two options Culture and ResourceManager but it doesn't show any of the images I previously imported.
*picture1 is the name of my image
I have no problem with the code(it works),I don't get why it's not seeing the imported images on my cousin's computer.
I need to be able to run a .exe within the resources i have a .exe i built a while back in vb6 and i need to be able to run it from resources so in the final installation build it would run properly on every computer that it installs on.

View 4 RepliesI am a beginning programmer and having a problem with picture boxes and resources which I want to use on the opening screen/form of a program. I have 4 arrays, each with 25 pictures(JPG); I want 4 pictures to appear on the form and to scroll through them using the form load event or a button. The problem however is I get build errors when I have more than 6 pictures in each array. the pictures load if there are 6 or less; more and it's a problem. I have considered some sort of corrupted picture but have changed pictures and get the same result.Is there a limit to the amount of memory that can be committed to resources?
