Make Overall Program Files Smaller For End User Install?

Oct 22, 2010

My program has 1,000 + .rtf files and when I publish/Install it's HUGE! 200mb +. I have other apps from other software companies that have more documents than mine, and their entire application is around 50mb. What am I missing here? How do I accomplish the same thing? Does it have to do with the Property Settings of the .rtf files called: "Build Action" and "Copy to Output Directory"? I set my "Build Action" to "Content" for all my .rtf files, and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".

Install .rtf Files In Folders When Building/publishing/installing Program?

Oct 18, 2010

I could not figure out the key to installing folders/subfolders/.rtf files during deployment/installation. The key here is to 'add' folders and subfolders to the project in solution explorer, then adding existing item (.text (.rtf files in my case) files) then selecting the .rtf file in solution explorer.go to its properties and under 'Build Action' select 'Content' (very Important!). Then under 'Copy to Output' select 'Copy if newer'!Then in code to access these files you use the following code:

Me.RichTextBoxDisplay.LoadFile(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "KJV BibleOTExodusExodus KJV.rtf"))

Finally after 3 days of research and 2 days at the msdn forum picking peoples minds (smarter than mine) and lots of prayer, I got it!

Cut Bitmap Into Smaller Files And Showing On Screen?

Jan 4, 2011

I am trying to take a png file (around 2000 x 2400) and split it into 8 smaller images of 500 x 1250 each (2 rows of 4), each of which is saved as a png file. I then which to display these smaller png files in a picture box so that they look as if they were one image.

My problem is that when I display the png files in the picture box, lines that look like grid lines show up in the picture box at the points where the png files sit next to each other.

When I view the smaller png files in Paint it appears as if the left column (x=0)and top row (y=0) of each file is set to clear (or transparent). What shows up in the picture box is the background colour of the picture box.

This clear/transparent row and column are not added on to size of the smaller png files. They are still 500 x 1250.Not every file is affected. If the smaller files are created from the original bitmap in the following order[code]...

Make A Form Smaller Than 27 X 112?

Jan 15, 2010

I'm making an app with several forms and wanted to add a label to each form that, when double clicked, would resize the form to 10 x 10 pixels.

ControlBox, MaximizeBox, MinimizeBox, properties are set to false so there is no title bar. No text or icon. MinimumSize is set to 0,0.

I made a new project that consists of one form with one label to make sure there was nothing in my code causing the problem but still every time I double click the label the form is resized to 27 pixels high by 112 wide.

VS 2010 Make A Form Resize On Smaller Screens?

Nov 15, 2011

I made a program on a computer with a big screen.I set it to open in 'maxamized state' , and I took away the top, so you can't close/resize/minimize it. How can I get the form to automatically resize to the screen size??

2) Is it possible to make a form ( in visual basic express edition 2011) not close when user shuts down computer and/or logs-off ...maybe run in back grond..?

3) Is there a code ( in visual basic express edition 2011) that can make the program start automatically when a user logs-in ?

4) Is there a code that can make something happen (e.g. play music, etc.) from e.g. 7:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M.

Jan 21, 2010

I am new to VB.Net and programming all together. I am trying to make a program that will take 2 numbers input by the user, Add them together and display the sum. Then take the sum and divide it individually by each number to give you what percent of the sum the numbers are. I'm working on making it a program that will calculate the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for my Anthro Class. I'm just doing this for practice for my VB.Net Class. But i will move onto that at a later time. I just want to finish this first.

So.. Here is my code so far. It's not complete yet but this is should be enough to make it function.

Make A Program Which Allows The User To Create Stuff?

Nov 12, 2008

about a week since I started. Now I'll just ask my questions straight away:I want to make a program which allows the User to create stuff, say a survey. What I want them to be able to do is,

1. Decide the headline
2. Decide the layout of the survey
3. Import pictures
4. create new pages, like a form.

And then save this survey to a file which can be opened either by itself or by using some sort of viewer program. And I want the user to be able to put in answers to questions in the survey which wont be visible when you open the file in the viewer program. Now I dont expect you to write the program for me, just give me ideas on how to solve them, where I can learn about methods to get there and so on.
