How would you create depth code for two classes in visual basic 2008 (like if you wanted to put one picturebox behind another picturebox depending on what each picturebox's depth equals)?[code]I can't get my movement code and the image for the character object to work.

Lets say a search engine is doing a search by date range. If we want to further expand the search by decreasing the date range by looping with date range one month close to end date how would you change the parameters?
For example if these are the date parameters:
start date = 05 / 07/ 2009
end date = 05 / 07/ 2010
050709 - 050710
Thats my set range; so now I want to change the range by month like this
050809 - 050710
050909 - 050710
051009 - 050710
051109 - 050710
051209 - 050710
050110 - 050710
etc
How can I use a loop to set this up? the year has to change accordingly when month hits 12.

View 4 Replies1) Add a Private variable named _area2) Associate the _area variable with a Property procedure called Area3) Change the CalculateArea method to a Sub procedure. The method should calculate the area and then assign the result to the _area variable.4) Include a parameterized constructor in the class. The constructor should accept one argument: the side measurement. After using the Public property to initialize the Private variable, the constructor should automatically call the CalculateArea method.At this point I believe I've completed the first 2 steps for the Square method, but I'm not sure where to go from therHere is my code for the Square class and the Main Form, in tha order:

I'm wondering on how you would go abouts instantiating a class that contains other complex objects. for example an Payment Class which has Date,Time, etc.. and it also holds a reference to a paymethod object which has id,Type,Description etc.. How do you instantiate the payment class with all the other objects without one or the other failing, how do you create the payment class which doesn
View 4 RepliesI am using the O/R Designer to create entity classes in VB 2010. I am observing different results for different database tables that I can't explain and more importantly, can't replicate the results that I want.Using server explorer, I have dragged a number of tables on the O/R designer surface, thereby creating the entity classes.
I have saved the project and can access the various entity classes in my project code. I first noticed a difference when changes made to object instances from some tables/entity classes appeared to persist while changes made to object instances from other tables/entity classes did not persist. These object instances are created, accessed, and changed using the exact same code patterns except for the object, class and table names.
I have been looking to see if there are any differences between the way in which the entity classes are treated, either in my code, in server explorer, or in the O/R Designer. I cannot find any. The properties of the entity classes indicate that all of the classes use the runtime methods for insert, delete and update. As far as I am aware, I have not knowingly made changes to these methods.
The ONLY difference that I find is in the file NameofClass.designer.vb. This is an automatically generated document. The partial class of those objects that appear to persist changes contains different code from that of other partial classes where changes to objects do not persist.In the declarations section of this partial class, the following lines appear:
<Global.System.Data.Linq.Mapping.TableAttribute(Name:="dbo.OrderofBattle")> _
Partial Public Class OrderofBattle
Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanging, System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged

If I am right then I want to enable persistence in my other classes by causing this additional code to be generated for them. But how? why the code for this one class hase been generated differently than for all the others (actually it is this way for 2 out of about 15 classes). What setting or or selection do I have to make to enable this code to be created for my other entity classes during the automated process?

View 5 RepliesCurrent i'm developing an application track storage of an item.in it abusiness rule says an item can be moved to more than one warehouses. Also i need to keep the history of the Item's history, Thereefore i need to create two entities,"Warehouse" and "ItemsHistoryOfLocations". I have developped an static class diagram to show the relationshop.These are the relationship rules between the classes:
1. A warehouse could be in an Item's History of locations.
2. A warehouse could be in many Items' History of locations.therefore in the forward relationshop -- 1..*
3. In an Item's History of locations, there must be at least one warehouse4. In an Item's history of locations, there can be more than one warehouse
Therefore in teh backward relationship -- 1..* Therefore the relationship betwween teh classes is a M:N. In another Object oriented scripting languaage when ever, and M:N relationship is found between classes, their relationship is slit and put a collection class called "MemberKeyDictionaries" as the bridging entity.But in C# / VB, should we create these collection classe. IF NOT, then how should i modify my class diagram to implement this M:N relationship? and h0w do i implement this M;N relationship in code?

View 2 RepliesAs my latest questions have stated, i am in a process of researching on Silverlight 3 and its application as a suitable RIA solution to a pre-built project a client of ours wishes to webify. And my experience in .Net and silverlight is about 3 - 4 weeks.I have now become aware of .Net RIA Services. I require to use an existing VB class; which was created as a quick wrapper class to emulate a small piece of the client's application code. This is used as a proof of concept. It contains one function which uses the client's DLL files to return a simple data type This class has already been used successfully with Flex/Weborb combination.I unfortunately do not have enough knowledge or experience in Silverlight/RIA Services to grasp what it is i have to do to get the file working. All the examples I find online only specify the method where you use a database as dataSource etc.Could you please inform me how i would go about implementing RIA Services with Silverlight 3, using existing code/classes with no DB? Or could you point me in a direction for further research on the matter?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone have or has anyone come across an in depth guide to the .net app.config? I'm having significant issues trying to find a definitive guide to this area of .net.I can already handle custom configuration sections, from basic key/value pair settings right through to complete custom configuration handlers which I struggled to find information on, but I cannot find any documentation regarding basic native .NET functionality of the configuration file...for instance, with regards to BCL configuration. I've gone through the machine.config.comments and the config.xsd files and it has provided a little insight but not enough to fully grasp the full potential of the config file. I've also trawled through everything I can find on Safari and only managed to come up with a couple of useful tidbits that I wasn't previously aware of but it seems this area of .NET is extremely poorly documented and unless you have a very specific purpose in mind, it's useless trying to find information on it.

In a form I have an ImageList named MainLogoImageList containing a 100x100 pixel 32-bit colordepth image. That is my app logo.
I am too lazy to set up an icon editor and edit an icon of that logo, or convert the image to an .ICO file. (Ergh, well, I am not allowed to install custom utilities.)
To set my forms' icon, I use
Icon = IconFromImage(MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
in the OnLoad event handler to set the window icon.
In my about box, i have a PictureBox with no image. In its OnLoad event, I use
LogoPictureBox.Image = MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0)
Icon = IconFromImage(MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
to set the About box's icon and content.
So far, so good, the icon looks pretty good for a being created from a 100x100 pixel bitmap.
Is there an easy "no utility required" :-) way to get the icon that is returned my IconFromImage saved into an .ICO file so that it will keep the color depth when loaded as the app icon? I want to use exactly the icon that IconFromImage creates.
Saving it using
Dim S As New FileStream("MyAppIcon.ico", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write)
Icon.Save(S)
S.Close()
in the main form's OnLoad event handler and loading that .ICO file as the app icon in VS's project properties dialog yields and icon that is obviously converted to 16 colors, and looks awful.

So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:

I probably confused memory usage issues with the UI sharing same thread as the processing (as pointed out by MusiGenesis below). However regarding the Memory usage. I am still not able to find VB.net specific syntax, although people have pointed out some great .Net and C# information below (and if I were more versed in those technologies, one could adapt to make work with VB.net).The general concepts are working fine, however I am having issues where the Mem Usage on Task Manager keeps growing as the program is used to load more and more files.On Startup, before doing anything, the VB application has 27,000 K.Once the file is parsed and even after I dispose of the File handle as well as the the data increases a lot. I strip out everything in the code and it still seems that memory in Mem Usage remains captured. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the Mem Usage is growing (i.e. sometimes it can grow by 20 mb when reading a 7mb file, however other times it does not increase at all, when reading a 3mb file). Sometimes, it appers to release some memory when the parsing is complete and other times it just holds.I have looked at .Net Memory Profiler and have not really been able to make heads or tails from that.I have read a lot on internet regarding Memory Management on .Net in General about Dispose and "Nothing" and DataSets, etc, however have not really found anything regarding VB.Net specifically.My General Question is: Are there any good tutorials/books/blogs/etc that show a more in depth tutorial on managing memory in a VB.Net application (i.e. how/when to dispose/close, etc), or does anyone have some specific tips from there experience.
