View 2 RepliesI'm actually a beginner in VB express. i made about 10 easy programs, now i decided to make one a bit difficult. I'm stuck at the beginning.In first form i have 2 Textboxes and 1 Button (1username, 1password, button - sign in) and then another 2 Textboxes and 1Button (1username, 1password, button - register) I want to make something like this for beginning: When you register the infos from textboxes (username & password) are saved in some file (let's say in info.txt or info.ini). I actually want to know how to automatically save these usernames and passwords in text file when you click register button, so when you want to login, you have to use registered username&password. So if there in text file is not the username you registered or typed in textbox you can't login.

View 9 RepliesI am making a hangman style game in VB 2008 Express. I am a beginner and instead of making any graphic related content (i.e. the hang man), I am using a 3 strike system. So far, I am just about finished. Only problem is whenever I choose a letter that is incorrect, it adds 1 to the strike label. The problem is, the second time I choose an incorrect letter, the "1" does not change to 2! The line is as fallowed:
strikelbl.Text = +1
got errors in hangman
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a little game using VB .NET 2008 Express Edition.The game is comparable to the Everybody Votes channel on the Nintendo Wii (if anyone has ever seen it). You can submit questions to a online database. Then, if the question is accepted, users can vote on it and other accepted questions. The questions are on a timer and when it hits a certain point (after a couple of days or so), the questions can no longer be voted on and the results are displayed. Since the details of the users account, the questions and the results would be in a database online, the program would also track some fun little aspects of their voting habits and stuff.
Onto my question though, how difficult would it be to pull something like this off? Especially for someone with no experience using an online database with VB .NET? I'm not foreign to the basics of VB .NET by any means, I've taken several courses with it in college and worked with offline Access databases, but taking it online is something completely new to me.
Since this version is free and allows the creation of EXEs, what are its limitations? I'm going to attempt to convert my vb5 game using this edition. Other than the standard labels & buttons, my game uses the winsock & tab control. Are these included in the express version? Is there an option to convert vb5 code to vb.net? If not, how different is the language? Are the if/thens, loops, variable assignment still the same?
View 7 RepliesIs there a manual or can someone provide a description on how to use the Microsoft Visual Basic/C++ 2008 Express Edition to create a .ocx or activex file? I have an application where I need to create and OCX to embed in a 3rd party software program. I have the application developed but I need a .ocx file to register the application for the project. I did this a while back in V6 but the newer version seems to be different

View 1 RepliesMy project is a server/client application, how do I copy existing panel with labels and pictureboxes to show stats of clients connected? I mean once the server accepts a client, stats of that client is shown on a new panel but has the same contents as the existing panel. Any Idea how to do this? I was thinking to make a set of panels and hide them if there's no client connecting but what if there are too many clients connecting more than the set of panels already made?

View 3 RepliesIm using Visual Basic 2008.Okay I got all the design, and everything set up, even the hangman body parts coming on the screen and stuff. So my problem is creating the BLANKS, the underscores "_", and replacing them with a letter...
I was thinking creating Lables which i have no idea how to dynamically. Then giving each label name the letters they belong to, and everytime the user gets the rigth letter they get replaced.

On programming assignment without having any real experience in vb. I guess I don't understand subroutines that well.

View 7 RepliesRecently I have been wanting to learn a bit more about Visual Basic and I've decided that I want to test my abilities by Making a Card game. The card game uses a customized deck of around 140 card. The Cards are all buildings which you need to place down by discarding a specific amount of cards in yoiur hand. The Objective of the game is to get 12 buildings built and get the most points. Many cards will be layed down at some point in the game.The way I think I will be creating the game is by Creating a Class for the Deck which will use a class for the Card. I would like the Card Class to somehow create a picture box of the cards image on the form which will hold all the other cards being displayed.
View 3 RepliesI am a student working on the venerable "Hangman" project. We were tasked to create a hangman game that would get a random word from one of three sources either by file, by array, or by database file. I have managed to get a random word to import from all three but I run into a problem once I start to play the game. The program seems to run into an infitinite loop as soon as you enter a letter or it automatically dispays character entered and gives a game over. [code]............

How do I go about doing this? I have currently made this code, but sometimes points are created on the boundaries of this picture box, which I do not want. I want all new random points to be within the bounds of this large playarea (picturebox). Foodarea is my big picturebox which i want all fruit to spawn WITHIN not outside on it's edges.

I'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'. ".

I have used the openfiledialog on numerous occasions, and it has never caused a problem. (This is also happening to savefiledialog as well...) Put simply, its breaking my application..

Even this bare minimum code, is causing most of my application to stop working. I have an onpaint method which should be drawing my map, it starts throwing exceptions(file not found), I checked my paths they are correct, I have a listbox linked to a picturebox, clicking a image' name in the listbox, loads the corresponding image to my picturebox, this stops working too..The program isn't hung, I can navigate my listbox, open menu's etc,.. It's breaking everything that has to do with images. I would post code, but, it's quite extensive, and the problem seems to be centered on the opensave dialogs.. (again, I have used this same code without trouble, so many times I have lost count, I'm at a loss as to why its acting up now...) Well, for now I created my own open file dialog, its a little crude compared to the real one, but, mine works..(ie, a standard dialog control, Ok, Cancel, with a ListBox loading the file names..)
I need directions on which code to use to load picture for each wrong guess.

my teacher assigns me to modify the program hangman game that allow a player to enter a word that contains any letters up to 10 letters.That assignment is from my textbook, Programming with MS Visual Basic 2010 by Diane Zak.[code]Now here's the problem I'm having trouble with. I don't know if my substrings is wrong or right, but when I type a word, the problem crashes and gives me the error of this.and another problem I'm having trouble with is how can I have dashes to match with the length of words? For example, if I type "game", it'll display "----" in the exe program. If I type "cat", it'll display "---" in the exe program as well.
