I have an application developed in VB.NET 9.0. I am trying to load a form when the application loads. It is basically a form without border and has a .gif on it. Actually when the form loads I cannot see the gif.
frm.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
frm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
frm.ShowInTaskbar = False
frm.TopMost = True
frm.Show()

I'm trying to load and host a WPF control in a .net 2.0 windows forms application. The WPF control should only be loaded if .net 3.5 is installed.
I found a link to Hosting WPF Content in an MFC Application and that is about what I'm trying to do but my C++ knowledge isnt sufficient to be able to 'translate' it to .net.
here is another link: Hosting WPF Content in a Java Application that doest the same again but I dont know where to start writing that code in .net.
I created a heavy application in vb.net 2005. And on start up of main form it doing lot of things like
1. Check New Software Update taking 15sec
2. Check Registration taking 15 Sec
3. Initialize Software also take almost 20 sec
First my application show Splash Screen and do 2 operations like
1. Check Update
2. Registration
So i want to do this First show Splash Screen and
-same time it start 3rd Process and remain Hide Main Form
-Same time it perform 1st and 2nd operation if pass then just show 3rd step without time waist.
I do it with delegates threading but it is not doing both operations same time.
I'm trying to get my program to launch another .exe within the project folders. At the moment I am using:Dim oasicer As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("oasicer.exe", "hammer_8_8.txt")but the program starts and stops straight away. the files were originally in a folder called OASIC in the debug folder, so I had "OASIC" before them, but that didn't work either.
View 11 RepliesIs there a way to turn off all visual updates to a .NET form while I am manipulating it? When my program first loads, for example, I set the tab control to the tab that was last open. The user can see the program switching tabs.
I have looked into SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout, but either I don't understand what they are doing, or I am not using them correctly, because they don't seem to have any effect. Someone told me that there used to be a way to turn off paint events in VB 6. Does this still exist in .NET?
I have 2 forms. When a user clicks something on form1, form2 pops up. After user is done with form2 and closes it (where the dataset is updated), I want form1 to "reload" the dataset to reflect changes made in form2.

I like to make an console application to measure the time it takes to fully load a web page, what's the best approach to do that? The purpose of this small app is to monitor some pages in a website, in a predetermined interval, in order to be able to know beforehand if something is going wrong with the webserver or the database server. It would be nice to be able to measure the time it takes to fully load the the page (images, css, javascript, etc). I have some code but I is not measuring the fully page.
Dim sw As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch
Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = CType(HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]"), HttpWebRequest)
sw.Start()
Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
sw.Stop()
Dim timeToLoad As TimeSpan = sw.Elapsed
there is a "open with" option in the context menu right.if i select the application(app i have build from VB2010) from the open with option. i want the picturebox in my application to load the image i had selected(the one with the "open with" )
View 6 RepliesI made two applications the first one calls the other. But the other application takes time to load. Even on a fast Pc. So i was thinking of adding a loading form to it. For example when the other application is done loading the loading form goes away.

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate ? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize itis there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
Does anyone know of anyway that it would be possible to speed up the process of loading forms.With VB6, forms (simple ones) was extremely fast but with VB.net, the initial loading of a form (even the simplest one) takes very long. Although it gets better once it's loaded once and the reloaded the next time (almost instanttaneous), but the first time loading gives a bad impression to any user that .net is actually much slower.
View 7 RepliesI've got 2 forms; form1 and form2.
Button1 is added to form1.
When I click button1, I want to close form1 and open form2.
I tried the following.
me.close
form2.show
Its not working. Form1 gets closed but form2 is not showing up.
When I use the following code
me.hide
form2.show, its working.
But hide will not unload form1 and it will still occupy memory.
In my form3 i have this code
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have done this before with Ajax but its alot of work and my site is not a Ajax enabled site.
Problem: Form hasn't fully initialize but shortcut keys can be usedDetails: Launch an mdi child with database access retrieving data, and user is already using the shortcut keys while the data is still been retrieve which results to error since object hasn't fully initialize yet.
Goal: Hinder user from using shortcut keys by disabling the keys at initialization then enabling it after all objects are good to go.
Another Situation is:A form with a gridview and a button.I got a hotkey that when press, handles a gridview getfocus event.
The problem is that the gridview is still making its instance and when press the hotkey, it activates the getfocus property of that gridview(which is still creating its instance).

Problem is, i do have two forms. Form-1 is the parent and Form-2 is the child. Form-2 is having so many executable functions built in. Therefore when i am calling form-2 from form-1, always that takes few seconds to upload(although negligible).

The problem with that code is that it just ends my program completely without showing frmMain.
