View 6 RepliesI was just reading this project example from my school's folder, and they have a rock paper scissors game.
I saw this within the

My question to you is, where is my resources folder and how can I add images to it so I can access images using code?
I am looking to create a small program in visual basic 2010 to perform the following actions on some photo's.
#1) I want to select a folder, that contains say 3 to 10 pictures all of which will have random file names (including some characters like - _ ~ )
#2) I want to resize each photo by 2pixels (both width & height)For right now shrinking it by 2 pixels would be best, i do not want to crop, as it may mess the photo up after a couple of times being run.So if it was 500x500 to start with, when its done, it should be 498x498.
#3) I want to save these newly resized photo's as newly created files.We can either delete the old ones automatically & save the file with the same name. Or simply add a random 1 digit # to the old file name, for the new file name.Either way, I do not want to "save over" the old file.I have never worked with any type of image operation in VB before so I have no idea where to start.
I am trying to build a slideshow app that will display 6 pictures at a time from a specified folder. I put 6 pictureboxes in a TableLayoutPanel and have a timer control call the Ahead1 subroutine to load a new picture into the last box after all of the other pictures "move up one box".The problem is that every the timer calls the Ahead1, the program uses about 30MB of RAM and the program eventually ends with an OutOfMemory Error. (Choosing the Picture Folder - only called once)

I am exporting excel in vb.net but I don't know how will I add picture in it from my Resources folder in my project.

but this also did not take the user to the contents of Sample Pictures folder (i.e,the pictures present in that folder) when he clicks the button.
I'm trying to move a lot of pictures from FOLDER A to another, FOLDER B. However, some of the pictures already exists in the FOLDER B. This stops my program saying it cannot copy the pictures over because they already exist. I'm trying to make it so any pictures from FOLDER A will copy over the pictures in FOLDER B if they are similar in name. Like... Folder A's pictures will just replaced the Folder B pictures if they have the same name. I was told to use the System.IO.File.Copy tool. Here is my code.

This is what I have got so far:

How do I go about linking a picture to a database? I'm using VB 2008 Express and SQL Express.I want the user to click a button when editing a recipe; the button click will then open some kind of dialog where the path to a picture will be selected. Then a button on the dialog will be clicked by the user and the picture will be saved to a folder in My Documents called "My Recipes" at the same time the recipe will be renamed using the Title and ID of the record being edited ending up with a name like "Nick's Milktart 237.png" (preferably with a space between "Milktart" and "237"). Also at the same time a link to the database must be created to a field called "Picture".I have never tried linking pictures before, I understand the app. will respond much faster this way as to imbedding the picture into the database.

I have a program for school that links to a database. They are listings of real estate and in the browse of the database I have pictures that can be scrolled through as well. The pictures are added to my access database as OLE objects and then just linked to a picturebox to be displayed. However, I'm wanting to add another functionality and allows the user to upload a picture that can be added to the record as well. But I think I'm having a conversion problem.This is what I have right now that is working...but I would like to be able to change that nothing into something.
Public Sub AddToDatabase()
CheckType() 'Convert radio button selection to string
'Sends table adapter items to add.
'Input Order: SELLER, AGENT, PRICE, DATE AVAILABLE,

Experimenting, I've tried just addressing pictures from my.resources but the errors I get are... "Type System.Drawing.Bitmap cannot be converted into1 dimensional array of Byte". When looking at my dataset as well the datatype for the picture Looks like a series of 1s and 0s.. So essentially I guess what I'm trying to do is convert a picture into an array of bytes so it can passed back?

Im using a black n white image of a human as my back ground and panels to display the same bits in color when the area is clicked. What isn't working for me is the panels are slightly overlapped and one will always be on top of the other. it is transparent so you can see the back ground, but not the panel underneath it when it has a picture in it.

View 1 RepliesI am using VB 2008, then I noticed that with the Provider.Oledb.12.ACE = database.accdb whatever connection string uses the bin/debug/database.accdb file when I connect my program with a database. Suddenly, a database with the same name appeared on the lets say "WindowsApplication1" folder. Then whenever I try to debug/run, it throws an error saying that it was unable to copy the database from the "WindowsApplication1" folder to the debug folder even though VB 2008 reads through the database from the bin/debug folder. As a result, after I input values when I debug, it resets because VB 2008 copies the database from the "WindowsApplication1" folder.
View 2 RepliesI have a windows service on a server which accesses a folder and database which is on different server. i was told to create an .ini file and add the settings here. so i have to add the path to the folder and database in .ini file, correct?
is there anything else which i should add in .ini file? is it compulsory to give the [section] in the .ini file? How can i access this .ini file from my vb.net program? can i store this .ini file anywhere on the machine or it should be stored in a particular folder?
I can figure out how to do this, but Im not sure what I should be looking for. I have a database that gets updated about once a month, and when it does, it changes the name of the database file to match the date and time the new database was created.
The file name always starts with DB and the rest of the file name structure is DBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (After the seconds, the file name is the same for all of the databases)
There are a few things I am trying to do.
1.I want to be able to search the update folder for whatever database is there
2.Trim the file name to return the database name as DBYYYYMMDD
3.Search the local database folder for the specific file name and return it in the same format as the update
4.Compare the two file names and choose which decide if one is newer than the other based on the date
What I need to know is what this would be called and what I would need to use to accomplish this.
import a documents path into a database and from a datagrid, when I double click on the relevant row it opens the relevant document.Also I need to be able to import the folder name as well?
View 2 RepliesI was just wondering if this is possible. I have a site that admins use to add products to our database. The database is in SQL Server 2008 and I use Visual Studio 2010 using VB.net and was hoping that upon addition of a new product, it would automatically generate a folder assigned to that product's ID.I haven't found anything online that would suggest that this is a possibility, but it would make it a lot easier for me. As of right now, I have to remember to create a folder in the X: drive for each product that has been added. We are up to 645 products now,

At the moment i have an access database file just sat in a folder on my employers server which every computer can see. We can all run an application i have done which we can add/update/delete records/rows on te access database.I was told that access can be temperamental if too many people are using it at once, and that i should look into changing it to a sql server database ? Can a sql database just sit independently like the access database and is it just similar code except for the connection ?
View 14 RepliesI have tested a few applications downloaded from net. They are surely database applications but when I checked in the folder where the application is installed, there is no database (no mdb, sdf etc.) When I install my application, my databases are always in the folder.
What is the trick to make them invisible but they should still work.
I have a very simple app (at the moment) that stores file names/paths and folder names/paths in an SQL database and displays them in a ListView and TreeView respectively. All fine and dandy.I have an option to remove a file or folder from the appropriate database table and then recreate the associated list.[code]I've checked and double checked the folder table adapter (even to the point of recreating it c/w Insert, Update and Delete commands) to no avail.
