I would like to click next to go to another image in a picturebox but I only have one picture box setup to have the new letter displayed in it. I have 26 images to display and need to know how to setup a loop to go through each image? It seems simple but I cannot figure out how to get to the third image, it only goes to the second image and stops. I also need to know how to setup the back button to display the prior image in a picture box.

I have a program I made in VB 6 which has probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
Is it complicated to convert it to VB.Net or is it not worth it?
My main problem is that VB 6 doesn't work in Win 7 so I need to use the XP emulator each time I make an update.

I'm attempting to do a school project dealing with a simple web crawler. I have a form with a web browser control embedded that loads a web page will all the available courses. I have a text box and a button design for a user to search for a specific course by using the four letter department abbreviation. The page that I have loaded has all the department abbreviations as hyperlinks.is it possible to search the page using the four letter abbreviation specified by the user and if the search finds a corresponding hyperlink open it. Then I would use a loop to repeat the process of opening each class offered by that department and obtaining information such as course name, section number and so forth.

i am going creating a simple function calculator, but I had to first do a design documentation proposal. I now have to update the project proposal with a storyboard or list of menu and screen items to delineate my proposed user screen and menus.aside from the calculator itself there will not be any menus.I also have to list any user data inputs and outputs my application will require and produce, which i assume i can put any numbers that the user inputs into the calculator and their results.

I'm suspicious my spouse is cheating.

He has been dodging or non-communicative when confronted about this.url...
The only way to avoid interaction with antispyware is to create it myself.I understand that copying text or something into an open notepad session or the clipboard is out of the question; however I'm pretty sure that I could create a (fairly) simple script that does the following:[code]I know this is extremely inneficient but this is the most covert way i can think of, a simple wscript that runs on startup and creates these .txt files in an important looking place (windows/config/system/logs/win32 - example)

I followed a tutorial to create the actual browser; the address bar and the Go button and now I need to create the Home button, Back and Forward button.If I can find the source code for it, I am going to implement it into my sample browser and perhaps?

I am just new in visual basic and I was given a task to do a basketball playbook application using visual basic. I am trying to do a simple editor that would allow you to design the plays. How do I implement a picturebox (picturebox1) with an image in it (lets say image1) then when I drag it image1 will appear in another picturebox (picturebox2)with a basketball court background. Then after dragging image1, picturebox1 will now display another image (image2) ready to be dragged also.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has already been asked, but I'm having a problem creating what should be a relatively simple code for an Excel Project. Essentially, the code is supposed to check if a certain column has Y in it and then copy that entire row onto another sheet and then move on to check the rest of the original sheet. This version of the code seems to do everything but actually populate the cells with the information. Every other attempt I've made has ended with "Application-Based or Object Based Errors". I've worked on this code for a few days now and I just can't seem to get it right. What am I doing wrong?
Here's the code:
Sub PopulateNewSheet()
i = 2
Do While Worksheets("Main List").Cells(i, 2).Value <> 0

I am trying my hand at making a simple poker hand analyzer in VB 2010 for a distance education intro to VB course at my school.My goal is to represent the cards in a table array. Rows are suits Clubs/Diamonds/Hearts/Spades and columns are values (A, 1, 2... K). However I have no clue how to design a Sub procedure that will recognize the hand the user inputs and add any possible results to a listbox (fourkind/threekind/pair/flush/straight/ace high straight). I don't understand how exactly I'm supposed to do this. My criteria isn't very strict. I can have a hand with more than one description, like a fullhouse + threekind + pair can all be used to describe one hand.
What I think I need to do is split the entered string to get 5 strings (each is a card). Then somehow find these in the table? I have no idea how to do this and I'm stumped... The instructions loosely call to look for a boolean value where cards(i,j) is set to 1 of the player is dealt card j in suit i. But I do not know how to achieve this.
As you can see my understanding on VB is extremely... basic (no pun intended). It's my first time ever learning a computer language, and I really regret taking this course via distance ed because the instructor and the TA absolutely refuse to communicate with the students. I am trying my best to practically self-teach with the thick text book.

So i'm creating a simple application as an example that is to link to a Access 2007 database.
On my main form i have four listboxes that are correctly attached to the table, I have one for First Name, Last Name, Phone, and School. I added 3 records to the database in Access to see if I could display the records in the listboxes on the form. I found that it was very easy by setting the properties and I have no problem there. I also have a command button that loads a new form for the purpose of adding a record to the database.
Here is my main form (frmMain.vb)...
CODE:
And Here is the code for the form...
CODE:
What i'm looking for is when the user presses the Add button on the frmAddNew form then it needs to close and the new record is listed in the textboxes and saved to the database. Id also like to know all kinds of things i might be able to do with textboxes and databases because i'm trying to learn for a larger project where i'll need to keep track of hundreds of records.
I understand that this is a simple procedure, but i've been spending all night scouring tutorials and getting lost in the msdn library online, so maybe some human input will be better.

I'm trying to find a tidy way to set a string using an if else statement according to a numeric value. The only complication is that there is a possibility that this value may contain text. So it needs to handle that situation too.
So this is the basic code:
If cint(QtyShop) > 0 Then
msg = "Stock found in this shop"
ElseIf cint(QtyAllShops) > 0 Then

I am refining my VS2010 control renderers and I'm working on the TabControl at the moment. If you take a screenshot of the VS2010 IDE and zoom in on the background of the TabControl (where there are no tabs), then you might see that it consists of a pattern of dots with a slightly different color than the surrounding background. I am trying to draw these dots (yes, I'm going for perfection), but I cannot find a brush that allows me to do this.I am pretty sure I'd have to use a HatchBrush with the right HatchStyle, but I cannot find a matching style.Here is a screenshot showing:
1. The VS2010 background I'm trying to draw (higher contrast and brightness otherwise it's hardly visible),
2. The HatchStyle that is closest to this (DottedDiamond)
3. Why this HatchStyle is not correct (it's missing dots where the green dots are, which I photoshopped in).
Now of course I'm going to have to draw the pattern twice (there are two patterns, offset by 1 pixel, with a slightly different color), but the more pressing problem is the green dots seen in the third image. They aren't there with the DottedDiamond style, and no other style (I think I've tried them all, but hey I might have missed some..) produces a better output.

Does .NET have built-in techniques for more complicated forms of iteration like the following:
1. Iterate over rearrangements of a list.
2. Iterate over subsets of a list.
3. Iterate over all indexes of a multidimensional list.
4. Iterate over all "combinations" of a list, i.e. all subsets of a list of a given length, where subsets that differs only in their ordering occur only once total.
I recently had cause to do (1) and my method was ugly, slow, tedious, and generalized poorly, which is why I ask. I can think of better ways, but it was garbage code anyway [brute force checking that there are precisely 576 seven-digit numbers made up of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 that are also divisible by 11]. The others are just for my own curiosity.

Im trying to create a program with a simple gui that enables me to search for and select parent folders containing child folders containing multiple files and then validate those files based off of constants i set per child folder and file.
Example
User selects Parent FolderX
Parent FolderX > (ChildFolder1 ( Constant for ChildFolder1 says open file 4 ) > File 4
Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file Then continue to ChildFolder2 ( Constant for ChildFolder2 says open file 16 ) > File 16 Compare multiple strings of text in a specific order based off of file name to constants i have set for that named file If there is any constants not read in one of the files after all have been checked, return msgbox with a notification and write .txt log with child folder and file names to specified directory?

I want to distribute a fairly simple program developed on Visual Studio 2008. I have tried to use the publish features in the IDE. It creates a folder with various information and stores it on my fileserver.When I try to install the program on another computer I get a lengthy message about the need to install Powerpack 9. 0.0.0 So I go back to my dev computer and edit the publish information. On prerequisites I do not find Powerpack 9 but Powerpack 3. I put that in and redo the publishing. The installation now install that package but then it says it requires powerpack 9.0.0.0 and ends?

I said in a thread this week that I would set out to construct a program using the WMP component and this time, unlike in my last one, it is set up to allow any folder to be chosen. It's safe, even if the user chooses a folder with no .mp3 files in it, but it's goal is to look through all folders/subfolders, find the .mp3 files, get the path and the meta information about it, then show it in a listview.
The user has a few options such as playing the first song when a list is loaded, setting it to shuffle, etc., and all settings are saved automatically. Also, when they choose a folder to use to get their music, the next time around it remembers this also (although this latter one is done by saving the path to a text file so that you can, optionally, edit that before you send it out -- without having to change the code to do it).
I have it looking at events so that no matter what they change (click for the next song, change the volume, change one of the checkboxes, etc.), it will re-focus the listview so that the song presently playing is highlighted.[code]...
