I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.

You will have to excuse me but I am a little bit new to vb. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew a way to have a vb app accept dropped files on the main form. Basically what I have is a program that needs to accept dropped files (outlook attachments to be specific) and copy that file to a specific location on the C: drive. Then I need it to store the file name and path to a variable and set a text box on the main form equal to that variable

View 1 RepliesSo basically im around 2 months into building a text based rpg game in vb 2010 which is coming along lovely. there are unique charachter creations, bans, loans, monsters to fight, levels, skill points, spells, inn's, etc etc... you get the idea. so now its time to move on to one of the largest problems of all. an inventory :O now, i have a db with the correct information in, i have even sorted all the code for the program to read the db with the correct items and its all working fine. but now i would like to have a more gui system. meaning:a grid based box where pictures of each Item_ID are displayed so you can see what items are in your inventory at any time. now i can sort this out myself with a case select and just load all the images into the local resource and pull itempictue1 when id = 1 itempicture2 when id=2 etc etc you get the idea. what i was woundering is...
could i build a drag and drop system where the player can move the items inside the inventory fairly easily? i have done some research into this but as vb isnt much of a gaming language i've run into a fair few dead ends. Not sure if i have come across right, but in essence, if you have a grid, 4x4 and item 1 is in grid space 1 and item 2 is in grid space 2.. to swap them around with the mouse.Please, dont shout if im asking too much :L nobody likes haters. any help is much appreciated and if you dont think vb can do this then please tell me and i will consider all alternate possibilities unless you have a better idea?
I have a menu strip. In the menu strip I have something for some saved urls in the database, I called it Bookmarks. So I'm trying to fetch the items from the database and have it load in to the menu items.. but it keeps adding items and I only want them added once.

View 18 RepliesI'm trying to automate a form process from a previous employee. One of the things that I have to do to achieve this is select a COM port from a dynamically populated list. I've looked around and the closest thing I could come up with is something like:
.cbbCOMPorts.SelectedItem(1) =
True
While this compiles, the computer does not like this at run-time. It throws an exception out:
"Object variable or With block variable not set."
