View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Fading To Black With A Delay
Jul 20, 2011I am a VB hobbyist and a new one at that. I am trying to create a transition effect in VB.NET 2008 when a certain form closes. The transition will take the form's current BackColor and slowly drop all the RGB values in it to 0 via a loop, obtaining a Fade to Black transition. I was able to come up with the code below. It works great. Maybe too great. It goes so fast that there is no transition. To the human eye it looks like the screen just went black instantly. Is there an easy way to enable a delay or pause in the below code to slow the loop down so that the end user sees the transition, and not just a quick jump to black?

VS 2008 Gets Erased And User Is Able To Type With Black Text?
Feb 27, 2010On my login form I have a username text box and a password text box...
The TxtUsername text box is preset with the following:
Text: Username
Colour: Gray
Here is the code for the TxtUsername (on click):
Private Sub TxtUsername_Click
TxtUsername.Text = ""
TxtUsername.ForeColor = Color.Black
(So it's like the facebook login if your familiar with it)When user clicks the text box, the gray text already inside gets erased and user is able to type with black text.The problem is that even when the user has typed in the box, every time you click the text box the text still gets erased....It's like the code should be something like If TxtUsername.Text = Anything but "Username" then dont change it to ""

Proper Update And Delete Code For SQL Express In 2008 Express Edition?
Oct 3, 2011I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

Unhandled SqlException In VB 2010 Express Thta Does Not Occur In VB 2008 Express?
Oct 16, 2010I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.
VS 2008 How To Make Disabled Text Box Display Black Font
Apr 15, 2010I am trying to make a calculator program. I would like the display(text box) to have a white background, with black font. So I set the "enabled" property of the textbox to "false"(because I want it to display, not receive input) and then choose the background colour to be white. In the form designer, the text colour is black, which is what I want.But when I start debugging, the text becomes the colour of the form. How can I make the font black?

Jan 21, 2011I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Loading Few Icons To The Toolstrip?
Mar 24, 2011I have a base form which has toolstrip. I am loading few icons to the toolstrip through the code as given below
mnuFind.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSearch.ico")
mnuSave.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSave.ico")
This code is in the form load event of the base form.
At the design time the images are displayed in the form.
The problem is in the inherited form. The inherited form is not loaded in the designer window. It gives the following error.
The service System.Windows.Forms.Design.IEventHandlerService already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType
Some times it says it cannot find the image in the installation path of Visual studio.
If I remove the icons loading in the base form it works fine.

When I use this code, I get an error stating: "'MainModule' is not a member of 'System.IO.FileInfo'." If I remove the very first line of the sub that specifies the directory, that error obviously goes away.
So, is there another method of extracting the icon? Or must I declare the directory in another way?
I'm getting ready to check MSDN to see if I can something withing the FileInfo Class,
