Application Disappears From Taskbar Without Any Reason
Jun 15, 2007
I'm having problems with my VS2005 .Net2.0 VB.Net Windows forms application.When I start the application and work with it for a while it somehow disappears from the taskbar.To get the Application button back on the taskbar I use Alt+Tab to switch to the application and voila,.. the taskbar button is back.In my code and form I can't seem to find anything strange.ShowInTaskbar is set to trueFormborderstule = SizableIt is an MDI application that is used for administrative purposes on sql databases.

So i have made this program which im done with. All code has been written and it is working as it should. I do however have one bug that is pretty wierd.
Sometimes the main window just dissapears ! And i cant get it to show it self again.. Rebooting my computer does not help.. And then sometimes it just randomly shows it self again, but only between runs.
The only thing that i can come up with that could cause this, is the part of code i have that saves the position of the window to application settings and reloads them upon run. So that you can move the window around your screen (in this case dual monitors) and then close it, and the next time you start the application it shows where you closed it the last time. This must screw up somehow.

I submitted the same question a few minutes ago, but so far that hasn't appeared in the thread - I wonder why/ - I used the HTML to rite the code I used. When I Click the F5 / Strat Debug on menu the DOS-Based form appears and disappears immediately. I am able to run a DOS-Based program in the computer, I checked this after the Sample Console Application failed to run. The Code I used is given within the Brackets(System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World")).

Is it possible to make my app only have one tab on the taskbar? I have already created all the forms and now i am 'tidying it up' and i want there to only be one tab for the whole app. Will i have to set one form as a parent and all the others as child forms? Or is there a setting that just needs to be turned off?

So heres a image of what I'm trying to do [URL].. My application is a toolbar sort of thing.. I want it to be stuck to the user's taskbar and the '::'s in the example will be draggable areas so they can move the toolbar left and right above the taskbar.
What I need help doing is: 1. How can I get my app to stick to the users taskbar? I know I cant set the position to mine because different screen resolutions etc, is it possible to do?
2. How can I make the draggable areas only drag left and right and not up and down?

I have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?

I have a VB.NET form that takes up the whole screen. On Windows XP, the taskbar is not displayed when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen. I have auto-hide set, and the taskbar is not locked. I tried the same thing on a Vista computer and it works fine. What am I missing on Windows XP? I need the auto-hide feature to work for my app like it does for other Windows apps.

I am writing a vb application and i want it to run in the background and also appear int the taskbar ie no window will be opened. The main function of the application is to get data from an external database and send it to excel so it does not need to open a window just to run in the background and also appear in the task bar with options for connecting or disconnecting from the database.
I also want to know if its possible to send the data from vb application to a particular file in excel?

so so far I've gotten my console application to minimize itself, but I want it to be totally hidden: so I want to disable it from showing in the taskbar too. With a Windows form this was easy, but I'm not so sure about console apps.

I want to know how to start a forum hidden. I know I can just add Me.Hide() to the Window_Loaded event, But it's ugly. The user sees the form for a split second then it dissapears. I want to form to start up hidden. Little background on my program, it is a small taskbar application, Has a small notify icon. When the app is loaded. I only want the notify icon to be visible. I have done this by creating my own Main subroutine in a Module that I created. and I am laucnhing the application like so
Imports System.Windows.Application
Module MainModule
Sub Main()
Dim mainWin As New MainWindow

I have seen in Debugging .net 2.0 Applications the following code [code] Is there any reason to use the #if directive? I mean, from what I understand the method will only be called if the DEBUG is defined, so I don't see a point in having the #if in the method body.

I was asked by an employer to sort a hash table. I always thought that the usage of a hash table was in a way non-sort friendly. Am I wrong in thinking this, and if not can you point me to a good VB.Net(Yes Kill me now, but it's an old system) method of sorting a hash table.

I have inherited some code with a function that looks to Deserialize a Byte array that does not work with even simple arrays eg {1,2,3,4}it error out with "End of Stream encountered before parsing was completed"..Apart from the fact that it should work, I don't see how this does anything useful since all it seems to do is turn a byte array into an object.

We have a legacy setup that creates pdf's on the fly based on client info. I can follow everything through where the process gathers the info and everything runs normally, until it gets to the doc.Form.FlattenFormFields then it goes in to limbo. I've captured the base64binary string and it tried to use that to convert to a pdf with no luck also.

I have an application in VB 2008 Express that uses a DataGridView to display rows of information. I have a DataGridViewCheckboxCell on each row for selecting the row so the user can mass delete the selected rows. For some reason, whenever I try to select a row via checkbox it adds another row to the DataGridView, is there anyway to disable this?

I have a problem where a form is closing when it shouldn't be. I just don't see why this is happening so I hope someone can see the obvious error that I'm missing.The user is on a form called frmPersonalAddress. If he clicks on a button labled "Add Children", he will open a new form, using the .showdialogue method called frmChildren.FrmChildren contains several text fields that may be filled and a single CLOSE button. When closing, the program will examine the fields. If it finds an error, a Messagebox will display with the error and the form should remain open. If there are no errors, the form will close

I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.

Last night my project worked just fine. I left my system up overnight and came in this morning - my project is still on the screen, so there was no update/reboot or any of that. I added 6 lines of code, and suddenly get Build Failed. I removed those lines of code, and still get Build Failed. I restarted Visual Studio, and still get Build Failed. No Exception is ever thrown and no cause for a failed build is ever given. Output is set to Diagnostic, and it indicates nothing wrong or out of the ordinary - every task completes successfully right up to the end when it says Build Failed.
