Something happened to my project and it got all messed up. I am not sure what happened, but the form I was working on only shows the code and not the project itself(where you design it). I am working in VB2008 Express Edition and do not wish to start over. What happened to my form?

I was working on a project in vs 2005 and decided to see my project's form in microsoft blend, the form did not show and i closed blend and saved no changes. The next time i open my project in visual studio, my form1 design mode shows me some code for the windows form designer. How can i get my form back as i need to add more controls and change the orientation of some others?

View 4 RepliesI need some info how to design/code a form, that only refreshs some parts of the content. Like a frame inside a webpage, that's loaded with AJAX, and the rest of the page maintains the same aspect.I know an application that acts exact the same way that i'm trying to do, but i don't know if i can refer the name.I want my form splitted in three, the top (unchanged), the middle that changes with the options of the user, and the bottom.
View 1 RepliesI had a project converted from vb6.. now I'm replacing old controls with new ones.. but when I delete the control off the form.. the form generate code still shows it.. I didnt think I was supposed to monkey with that code and remove anything..
I assume there is a way for the code to regenerate from the actual form design ?
I tried rebuild project.. but that didnt do anything.. I'm a tad new to vb.net..
I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?

I seem to have reached a limit on the size of the form. I cannot make the form longer and I need to add more fields. Is there a limit on how many fields can be included in a form?
View 1 RepliesIn the form design I set up a TableLayoutPanel, 20x20 cells and in cell (1,1) a PictureBox (called Target) containing the image of a small target. The properties box for Target shows some very promising properties, Column and Row - and if you overwrite the values in the properties box, the PictureBox obligingly shifts to the corresponding cell position in th design. However in VB it is not possible to refer to Me.Target.Row or .Column - neither appears during coding in the menu of properties, and deliberately coding either of them produces an error like
Error 1 'row' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'.
1. Why does the properties box show properties that cannot be altered programmatically?
2. How can my program move Target around in the TableLayoutPanel?
I guess thats what I need to do, Im trying to allow the user to right click on the top of my form, and my custom Context Menu Strip is displayed, not windows context menu strip. I guess somehow i would need to get the size and draw a rectangle on the non client area and see if the user has right clicked in that rectangle? if so how would I get the area of the non client area?

So I'm trying to take a screen capture of the windows form and display only a certain specified area of that screen capture in a picturebox on a different form. Kind of like this. First, take the screen capture of the form: Then get a specified area of that form through x,y coordinates or something and display it on a picturebox on a separate form.

View 1 RepliesThis is a problem like the puzzle - "find minimum number of coins to completely cover a piece of paper".
The difference is:
in my case RADIUS of the coins is variable (but all coins should have same radius).
Real scenario:
1. I need to draw circular shapes on a rectangular image.
2. Number of circles (N) is CONSTANT/ User input
3. Size of image (S) is CONSTANT/ User input
4. The program should find the MINIMUM RADIUS (R) that is needed to draw N number of circles on an image of size S, so that, the image is completely hidden behind the circles.
This is NOT a puzzle/assignment that I'm trying to solve.This is part of a larger project that I'm working on.
I don't need any drawing code. I just need the code/algo to find the radius.

There are so many controls, properties, etc in VB 2008 .NET it's mind boggling. I'm amazed at how much this product can do.Does anyone know of a VB 2008 .NET book that describes in simple language and shows sample code for all of those controls, properties, etc?

Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.

I use Visual Basic 2010 Express. I want to create a WinForm app in which there are several buttons "table1", "table2"... Each button must display the corresponding table of a database in a specified region of the same form.
I'm able to link a MS Access database (.accdb) file to the app. But, how do I create that dynamic area whose content would be one of the database tables of the linked database? I tried using DataGridView, but I'm a newbie and I'm missing something; it doesn't work.

The Splash Form opens and closes fine, but no controls (a text box and a graphic, on a panel) appear on the form. I knew I was probably missing something (this was far easier than anything I found searching), but at least the form opens and closes. The app actually starts with a SubMain, which is only used to control how it opens with it's registered file type.
I have a small non mdi form with only 3 controls. The user can select a name of an animal on a listbox and a thumbnail picture of it is shown on the picturebox. There is also a tton.The tooltip on the thumbnail is quite important as left/right click do different actions but for some reason the tooltip will not display unless the user clicks the form.
