They are numerous examples of using SaveFileDialog mainly on simple textboxes. However, I have in my resources an Excel SpreadSheet. I want to allow the use to select the destination where he can save this spreadsheet. He is not allowed to change the name of the file in the filename. Afterwards, I want to copy the file from my resources and save it to the user's selected destination. How can I do that?

I'm trying to save a setting that keeps what background image I'm currently using.If it's an external file, there is no problem, i can just get the .location and set it in a String setting to store it.
But, if I want to store an image resource as a setting, how do i do it?I know i can store rawdata, like bitmap information, but then i can't set that type of data to the my.background.
I don't know if the question should be: "how do i reference resources", but the my.resources.resource.methodsList doesnt contain anything that seems to be of use.
I'm making a program and in which the user can select a background image from their computer, but I have not found a way to save the picture to my.settings or my.resources

I have a file that can be saved to a portable device. I would like to know how I could create a DialogBox to select a portable device to save my file to. This is very similar to a save, as DialogBox except the file already exists.Perhaps better said, I need to be able to download to a DialogBox.
View 2 RepliesVB 2010, Trying add custom colors to a dialog box, save and reload on opening. The "add custom color button" just adds it to the boxes on the left and does not save it for future use. If the user select that color having added it the left you can then get the integer value and add it to the code
ColorDialog1.CustomColors =
New
Integer
() {CustCol1, 16646145, 16580610, 16645891, 16711426, 65536, 6699546}
And save for displaying next time. but it does not return the same color.
Why does it return a different color, it displays the correct color when used at the time of saving? Is there no way of saving all the custom colors, if a user puts several in the boxes on the left? You have to make sure you select Basic color first otherwise it changes existing custom color or if you select a blank box you cannot select anything.
When custom colors are added via code as above it goes along the top row first but when you click the "Add custom color button" it adds the first color to first position of the top row and the next to the first position of the bottom row. How to add custom colors to a dialog box, save and reload on opening.

I am trying to create a Messagebox/dialogbox that will allow me you Define the Prompt and the text for the two buttons. I started by looking around the internet and found [URL]. It got me started But i don't think i have the libraries to make the stackoverflow.com code work. i don't know enought about events to make the box always have the focus untill it is closed or one of the buttons is pressed. I would also like to return the button.text of the button that was clicked.here is the little code i have

I made a windows form which contains a listbox (named VenueList). The listbox is pulling it's values from a list provided by a binding source VenuesBindingSource which is pulling in a ID for the value and a name for the text. There is a button which is causing a DialogBox to appear which is asking for values to store in the database for a NEW venue. Once the values are filled and insert the database, what's supposed to happen is that the dialog box closes and goes back to the original form which invoked it.
However, instead of updating the list. The list stays the same. But if you close the form and reopen it, you see that a new value was added.
TournamentSettings.VenuesTableAdapter.InsertVenueQuery(Trim(VenueNameTxt.Text), Trim(VenueAddress1Txt.Text), Trim(VenueAddress2Txt.Text), Trim(VenueCityTxt.Text), Trim(VenueProvinceTxt.Text), Trim(VenueZipTxt.Text), Trim(CountryBox.SelectedValue), Trim(VenuePhoneNo.Text), VenueType.SelectedText, VenueWebAddress)
TournamentSettings.VenuesTableAdapter.Fill(TournamentSettings.VenueNameList.Venues)
In the above code, InsertVenueQuery is the name of a query from the designer which is invoked to add the values onto the tableadapter VenuesTableAdapter which is used to fill the combo box on load. I also sent the Fill command to refill the table with the new value. So the question is, should I go about doing this another way, rather than feeding the Table adapter and sending a fill command on to the datatable? Or is there something that I'm not doing here which I should to force that value into the list. I'm tempted to redo everything outside of the designer but that's a lot of code since I have to essentially run two commands (one to insert the data, and another to get the @@IDENTITY value since this is run on an access database.)
