Missing Customized App Icon On Windows 7
Oct 8, 2010
In my program's properties, I customized my application icon, which I also set on the main form's icon property. If I look in my bin/Release folder or if I run my program I see my customized icon. If I right-click and select Send to -> Desktop on Windows XP, I see a shortcut with my ICON on the desktop. If I do the same thing on Windows 7, I get the default ugly icon. What should I do to get my custom icon on Windows 7 when I make a shortcut from my main EXE?

I am creating a windows application for my company. in the master file i will enter the number of items we are getting from the customer. and in the next page i have to enter the details of each item. For that i have created a datagrid which has one autogenerate number field and the remaining fields must be editable. So that when i enter all the values in the datagrid, it has to go and save in the data base.

I am missing something simple. I know how to bind asp.net datagrids and webforms, but this is my first time trying to bind to an object list of T in a windows form. (I am use to using datasets with datatables and im trying to get away from doing that).I have a simple object list that gets populated on the form load. However if I click a button to add a dummy record the datagridview does not display the new record added. The bindingNavigator (if clicked nextrecord) and "debug stops" all show that the new record I just added to the object list is there.
Even adding the datasource object in the watch list shows the new records are there. They are just not displaying.
I cannot seem to figure out as to why the new record is not being displayed in the datagridview when I can see the record got clearly added to the datasource.

I have added a minimize to tray function into my webbrowser and it makes use of the notify icon control. Now I know my code isn't flawed as it works in vista in xp but not in 7 (The icon simply is not in the tray).
Me.Hide()
NotifyIcon.Text = ("Xtreme Browser, Current User: " + Current_User)
NotifyIcon.Visible = True

I'm trying to show all window titles including the corresponding icons, much like Windows Task Manager does. This works only to a certain extent though - although I am able to get the windows' title bar texts, the icon is not always available.
For getting the icon I pass the WM_GETICON message to SendMessage (source):
Public Const WM_GETICON As UInteger = &H7F
Public Function GetWindowIcon(ByVal WindowHandle As IntPtr) As Icon
Dim IconHandle As IntPtr = SendMessage(WindowHandle, WM_GETICON, 0, 0)
[Code].....
For some windows, this returns just the correct icon. For others, it returns Nothing since IconHandle is equal to 0. In Windows Task Manager and on the taskbar they show up just fine.

When adding the items the VB code is

Is there no simple way to reference a resource to add an icon to said menuItems?

I've seen loads of programs that use an icon in the system tray to let you interact with a windows service that is running on your machine but I am curious as to how this works. As I understand it, unless a service marks itself as 'interactive' then it has no way to communicate with the user's desktop and doing so is discouraged by MS (and even causes an alternate desktop to appear temporarily in Server 2008 in some cases). So I want to try and avoid doing this but I cant think how else I would do it, and even if I marked my service as interactive I'm not too sure how I could actually get it to show a notification icon in the system tray.
I assume I would have to use Windows APIs, unless just using the windows forms NotifyIcon class would work. I considered just having the system tray icon in a totally separate application that just communicates with the service via named pipes or TCP etc but I'm pretty sure this isnt how other programs do it because with most of them if you just kill the process that the service is running in then the icon disappears so it must actually be directly running from the service.

I've create a VB2008 app that upon clicking the applications Start button it creates an icon in the taskbar that is visible to the user upon creation, it also shows a balloon tip at the time of creation. This all works great when the program starts but once the balloon tip timeout value has elaped, the icon, in Windows 7, disappears from the visible portion of the taskbar and becomes hidden, which is only visible if the user shows the hidden icons.
My question is this...... In the VB2008 program is there any way to set the behavior of the icon so that it remains visible on the taskbar instead of allowing the icon to become hidden?
The original design of the program was to get an environmental variable, display the value of that variable in the balloontip, hide the form and then check every 10 minutes for a change in that environmental variable. Once the form was hidden the user could see that the program was running by the presence of the icon in the taskbar and if they hovered over the icon it would display the current value of the external variable. Also if the user wanted to return the form to it's full size all they had to do was click on the taskbar icon. With Windows 7 if I hide the form and the icon is not visible in the taskbar because it too is also hiddem this may create a problem for the user as they may not even be aware that Windows 7 hides the icon. So....Is there anyway to insure that the icon remains in the Windows 7 taskbar or is this a case where I need to re-evaluate my program design?

I've converted a VB6 application with the VS 2008 built-in feature successfully: upgraded some bits of code, added new features, built, tested, and run the compiled application on my development laptop successfully. Then I created a SETUP.EXE for it with the appropriate VS 2008 tool, and test that successfully on my development laptop. Then I gave the setup.exe & xxx.msi to my client and the installation went fine. So far so good.

At the top of my form, I have a status strip with the common "Window" dropdown that is seem in many commerical and Windows Applications. What I am attempting to do is the same that can be done in VB2010 itself. In Visual Basic, clicking the Window Dropdown allows you to choose which window is active. My whole point on this is that they are using a customized Image.Here is an image example from a program called Paint.NETIn the area of the dropdown, you can clearly see that the "Checked" images are customized. For example, Tools is showing the hammer with the glass button frame over it.What I want to know is how would I achieve this customized image set? I already know I would need at least 2 images, one for checked, one for unchecked.

UPDATED: Feel like this shouldn't be that complicated, but I think I just don't know the proper name for what I'm trying to do. I'm dealing with an ASP.net project. The concept is pretty simple: I have a library that supplies some ecomm functions. One class in the libary contains functions around calculating tax. One class in the library revolves around the cart header. This class is consumed by a web project.

Suppose I have a Microsoft Expression Blend. Is it possible to create a custom control (such as a button) in MSE Blend and then import it to visual basic 2010?For example, I want to create a custom shape button (different from what is available in the toolbox in VB2010) (like for example a pen-shaped button) in MSE Blend. Can I import it to VB2010 to be used with Windows Forms Projects? If yes, how?

I'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
Implements IDictionary(Of TKey, TValue), ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), _
IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), IDictionary, ICollection, _
IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?

I have a class clsContextPopUpMenu to create a ContextMenuStrip with some basic functions (e.g.copy) that I can use in different controls. [code] A broader question is that when should I dispose objects/resource by myself? Of course, gc collector is not a magician to release all available memory. Can I always dispose objects/resource in Dispose Sub as shown above?
