I am looking for recommendations with regards to any tips and suggestions on the improvement of the look and feel of windows forms designed in vb.net studio.I was used Krypton but my trial ran out and I am looking for other packages, tools or ways to improve the look of my forms.

View 3 RepliesIn a Java class library I can divide my classes into packages to make them easy to manage under one root and several 'branch' namespaces, but in VB there is no sub-category in a project, all the class files are in there by alphabetical order, when the library gets big it's a mess. Is there a better way to manage class library in VB? I use visual basic 2010 express.

I have an idea about improving the assigning operations of VB.NET (maybe other .NET languages too.) It is similar with "With ... End With" block:

So we don't type "Some Text" every time. Do you think does this idea work? Maybe in the future we can see something like that?
Anyone who could provide me a direction to start with?

View 1 RepliesIn our database we have gigantic tables (it was initially built 20 years ago). We are on the process of developing it.
Some tables contain rowversion and optimistic concurrency. We were wondering if there is a way to just correspond rowversion to the modification of some specific columns, but not all of them. In Normal Case, T-SQL which is generated then would be huge.
A few years ago we (as a company) faced the scenario of getting our developers to stop writing classic asp pages and switch to .net (and in turn system.data for data access). As a supposedly ˜short term measure I wrote the following class to make the switchover easier for those not used to system.data & all its new objects: [URL] The main purpose of this class was to keep usage as similar to classic asp as possible & keep the usage VERY simple (plus to add email alerts for error catching yada yada yada):

I am putting some heavy though into re-writing the data access layer in my software(If you could even call it that). This was really my first project that uses, and things were done in an improper manner. In my project all of the data that is being pulled is being stored in an arraylist. some of the data is converted from the arraylist into an typed object, before being put backinto an arraylist.Also, there is no central set of queries in the application.This means that some queries are copy and pasted, which I want to eliminate as well.This application has some custom objects that are very standard to the application, and some queries that are very standard to those objects.

View 3 RepliesI've written a program that works perfectly well when installed on my development PC, but when I use the wizard in "Build-> Publish" and install the software on another computer it complains it can't find the DLL that I've linked to.The DLL comes from a programmable board that I'm linking to, so I don't have access to the source code, and I've included it in my project using the following lines:
Declare Function InitMbee Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" () As Boolean
Declare Function SetOutputs Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" (ByVal outputs As Integer) As Boolean
However I've not included the DLL in any other way, so I'm wondering if I have to add it to a list of items that need to be included with the installer, or if I've declared it in such as way that it needs to be in the same place for all installations.

im also thinking on using stringbuilder to replace my strings.
I'm hoping to improve the performance of the below as well as return the GUID of each user.
I've converted and modified the code found here for searching through groups recursively to get all the members and their details and adding them to a class collection. However I also need to capture the user's managers details so I'm calling the AD twice for each user. This doesn't seem efficient as many of the users will have the same manager. It would seem logical to get the distinct manager details from the collection class and call only these, then replace them wherever they occur in the collection.
I'd also like to be able to get the user's GUID, I've tried accessing it directly as a property of the collection, but it doesn't return anything.

View 3 RepliesWe have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

ok, i know the code is a little rough, but it should be good to give you an idea of what im trying to do, if not i will still explain.simply draw 2 lines one from left to right, another from top to bottom, intersecting through the tip of the mouse.ok, theres no problem there the lines draw perfectally the way i want them.... BUT! now heres the issue im having.i cant get rid the previous lines.i did a bit of good old "Google'ing" and ran across a few links that all pointed me to the ReDrawWindow API, so i tried (as you can see in the above code) but i just cant seem to get it worked out.
