Game - Using Labels And The Backcolor Property To Change Their Living Status
Jul 26, 2011
In the game, I'm using labels and the backcolor property to change their living status. I have an array of the labels. However, when changing their life status using a for loop, i've come across a problem where previous elements in the array effect the next ones before the end of the generation. I found somewhere that recommende I use a different array, However, im not too sure how.
For x = 0 To 400
Boxes(x).Neighbours = GetNeighbours(x)
If Boxes(x).Neighbours = 0 Or Boxes(x).Neighbours = 1 Then
Boxes(x).Alive = False

I am writing an app to be a single button failover of a set of mirrored SQL servers. The app has to handle several other functions (enable/disable and start/stop of services, writing to local registry, copying files from server A to server B, initiating stored procedures, etc.)I have a collection of labels that indicate the status of 4 services on 2 servers, I wrote a function to check the services when passed the machine name, and the service name. Originally I just called the function 8 times (4 services, 2 machines) and populated the labels 'manually'. I have all of this within a timer so that the service status is refreshed every couple seconds. Id like to clean up the code to a single for/next loop that operates on 2 arrays (an array of service names, and an array of labels) such as:
'**Fetch_Status is the function that gets service status, it accepts 2 strings, machine name
'**and service name and returns status "running", "Stopped", as my_status
Dim Services() As String = {"Service1", "Service2", "Service3", etc.}
[code]....
The only reason I want the control array is to be able to use the .Text and .BackColor properties of the labels in the loop. If I make an array of strings with the label names it doesnt seem to pick that up.

I created a program that has serval labels on a form and a listview object. It has a button that when clicked reads a textfile and loads up values in the listview object. I then can click and drag text from the listview box to any label on the form and then the program removes the value from the listview box. Now, my question is how can I instruct VB to save these values in the text property of the labels so that the next time the program is loaded the labels will contain the values loaded during the last run time session?

I'm reading in a configuration file which is simply a txt file that configures my Com port and sets some directories. It's basically for the end user to set the interface. I want to give the user the ability to change backcolor properties on my NumbericUpDown property. So when I read in the Config.txt file the end user can change coloring on the General Form. In this case the NumbericUpDown. How to assign a variable for color from my string (from my txt file) that I read in.

I'm trying to change the backcolor of a .Net GridView when a certain condition is met. This should be fairly straightforward, but the color change isn't happening. Checking the rendered HTML shows absolutely nothing different in the affected rows even though the text change on the link is happening as expected.There is a default theme set for all gridviews and I haven't worked with that in the past. Is that preventing me from dynamically changing the color of a row or am I missing something else? I'm using .Net 3.5 and have the following in my code behind:
Protected Sub gvPrevious_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvPrevious.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
If currentCorrespondence.IsRetired Then //custom object, returning as expected
Dim link As LinkButton = DirectCast(e.Row.Controls(4).Controls(2), LinkButton)
[code]....
From the above code, when I go into the browser and view source, I would expect to see <tr style="background-color: #CD5C5C;"> for the affected rows. Instead, I see <tr> and <tr class="AlternateRowStyle"> (where appropriate). I see absolutely no effect from the BackColor property change. I have also attempted to use e.Row.CssClass with the same result.

We have an ItemCommand that makes a DataGridItem invisible. This is breaking the alternating color scheme that we have applied. Is there a way to re-apply the style without rebinding or manually setting each DataGridItem's BackColor property?

I'm building an app that is a basic daytimer type of app. My problem is that I can't get the textbox(Textbox1) backcolor and text to change when I need it to. For instance, if there are events for January 12 and the user clicks on the Jan 12 link in the Calendar control, if there are any events in the SQL table for that day it should populate the appropriate times. The funny, or not so funny, thing is that I have another textbox named "TheEvent" that I can change the backcolor and text on with the code below and it works fine.[code]...

I have a problem with changing the color of a button (in vb.net). I have searched the web and plenty of people are willing to tell me HOW TO change the color but my problem is - it doesn't. I say it doesn't, it does when it has finished the rest of the code in the Sub. Can anyone furnish me with an explanation please as to why it doesn't happen when I ask? I'm using Visual Studio 2008
