Finding Resource ID Or Index Of A String/icon Resource?
Mar 4, 2010I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
Resource File / - Separate Resource DLL ?
Feb 5, 2010I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.

View 3 RepliesKnow Which Resource To Add?
Dec 1, 2009Sometimes I am not able to replicate code offered in several threads because the syntax is not recognized by what I have already installed under VB Express 2008. For instance:
One code snippet included the "Excel.Application" class. Yet even after importing the "Microsoft.Office.Interpol" resource upon adding the "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library", "Application" is not recognized.
How does one know which resource is needed to support particular functions?

View 9 RepliesAdd Application As A Resource?
Oct 30, 2008I recently picked up the VS.net 2008 Trial, looking to possibly buy it. I added a splash form, and not even the default code works. First, I got the error "'My' is not defined". I went under my project, clicked the resources tab, and it asked me to create a resources file. So I did. Now, 'My' is defined, however 'My.Application' does not work. I'm assuming I simply have to add Application as a resource, just as I did with My.Resource. I'm not sure how to do this, and I apologize if this has been asked before. I did do a search but it yielded no results. 'My' was a bit too vague and returned no results, 'not defined' was a bit too vague and returned a bunch of results

Dec 29, 2011Bob Tabor posted a series called "Visual Basic Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners." In his series, he explains many key foundations of programming to beginner programmers. I happened to find some of his videos helpful which is why I post this.
The series can be found on Channel 9, which is under the operation of Microsoft.[URL]..I haven't watched all of his videos at this point but it is definitely a great reference to brush up on old concepts or to give to newer developers in need of learning material.

Using A .txt File Resource?
Apr 18, 2010Right now i have a line of code, in vb, that calls a text file, like this:
Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("data5.txt")
data5.txt is a resource in my application, however the application doesn't run because it can't find data5.txt. I'm pretty sure there is another code for finding a .txt file in the resource that i'm overlooking, but i can't seem to figure it out.
VS 2008 Using A PDF From Resource?
Oct 1, 2009I don't completely understand the embedded resource. Here's what I'm trying to do.I've added a PDF to the application Resources using "Add Resource." It appears to add the resource as a BYTE (I'm assuming some type of binary file). I want to simply display this PDF in a PDF component I've added to the application.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AxAcroPDF1.src = My.Resources.aamaspoker End Sub This is not working because .src is expecting a "string" but the resource PDF is a BYTE. So what obvious thing am I missing here about using PDFs as resources?
VS 2010 Resource-Only DLL?
Jan 25, 2012I want to create a Resource-Only DLL so that I can use it in conjunction with desktop.ini files.All of the information I've seen so far, however, has been with C++ libraries. The steps outline in that URL don't seem too difficult, but I would rather create it in VB since I'm a lot more familiar with it.
With that being said, does anyone know what I need to do in order to do this with VB? The C++ instructions don't carry over well.I've been looking at DropBox because they do what I'm looking for. Except instead of using another library, they use the DropBox executable and set the IconDex appropriately. That would be ideal of course, but I can't find a reference point for the IconIndex, for starters.

Assign A Resource According To A Variable?
Apr 2, 2010I've been making this BlackJack program for a school project
I have 52 image files, labelled from '_1' to '_52' in my resources folder, each number corresponds to a card.
My question is, how do I get a picture box to assign the correct resource according to a variable
So, say I have
"pictDealerCard1" -> picture box which displays the first of the dealers card
DealerCard1 = 37 -> random number generated through INT(RND() * 52)
and resource '_37'

C# - Selective Resource Compiling In .NET?
Apr 13, 2009How can I choose which resources to compile depending of the compile constants used? So, if VAR1=0 then I wouldn't add RESOURCE_A to my final assembly.
I searched around, but didn't find any info regarding this... I guess I'm using the wrong keywords, since I doubt nobody else had this problem/doubt ever before.
Also, I use both VS2005 and 2008 at my job, mainly VB, although I haven't got any problem using C# either.
C# Book Or Resource For .Net Developers?
Feb 16, 2010What I'm Not looking for:Now, just to be clear, i'm not looking for VB6 to C#.Net content, as i know there are a few of those out there.Also, I know about that "syntaxconversion table" website, where it compares VB.Net to C# language features in a side by side table. I am not interested in this either, already know about it.I'm also not looking for a converter, which converts C# code to VB.Net and visa versa, i know there are a few websites which do this and already have the addresses.Finally, I'm not looking for a C# book or resource that caters to current programmers, but specifically to VB.Net programmers!
What I Am looking for:To learn C# (VS2008 or preferably VS2010 version) given that i already know VB.Net 10.0 (VS2010)... as there are many things related to .NET that i won't have to learn again if i can find something that will leap me from vb.net to c#, many bits of the CLR, how .NET works etc... since the languages are the same in what they do, and what they use to do them, i don't want to have to re-learn all this again. The only difference is really the syntax, but also how the C# language differs in dealing with certain things, what default expectations/behaviours are in various scenarios etc...
The set of differences and similarities between C# and VB.Net are so unique that neither of these languages likely could share this unique set/combination of differences and similarities with any other language. So my point is, it really needs to be C# for VB Developers oriented, otherwise it'll almost cetainly be inappropriate or a re-hashing!
