Organizing The Contents Of A .resources File?
Sep 4, 2011
I've been working on a calculation program and it needs to access both a list of constants and a list of variables. So far during development I've used local .txt files and read from them using a StreamReader that accesses them directly using the full path.Obviously that won't work for a published version as there's no guarantee that the files will ever be put in the same place so I'm looking for a way around that.
I've managed to get the constants file converted into a .resources file but the conversion seems to have changed the order of the constants, ie: Pi was first in the original file but is now second. The rearrangement doesn't seem to be alphabetical either as the next pair of entries start with s before we move back to p. Is there any way to force resgen to preserve the order of the elements? Is there a different method I should use?

I'm trying to make a program so I can open a text file, take the information in that file, and organize it in a list, but I can't figure out how to do it exactly.In visual basic, how would I change this:
<NAME>Joe Somebody</NAME>
into:
Joe Somebody
I want to be able to ignore "<NAME>" and "</NAME>" and output "Joe Somebody" into the organized list, but I don't want it to work only with Joe Somebody. I want it to work with other names too. I also want to be able to edit that information, and export it the same way as the text file.

I am creating a class that represents a vehicle of some kind, called "Transporter". The number of wheels the vehicle has is variable, and is stored in a property. I want the wheels themselves to have their own properties, individually. How do I properly set up a class that is nested within another class? Right now I have two separate classes, where one of the vehicles' properties is a collection(of WheelModule). I just want an outsider opinion, as I have never done this before.
VB.net
Private ModuleCountVal As Integer
<Description("Number of Wheel Modules")> _
Property ModuleCount() As Integer

I have a program that runs a command line and retrieves the output, but the output I receive is unorganized and run-on. Since 3 processes are being run, I'd like each process results to be listed on a different line.
Here is the code:
Dim viewteam = Page.Request.Form("viewteam")
Dim arg As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-gold"
Dim arg2 As String = "/c net localgroup hglocal-" & viewteam & "-rw"

I am refactoring a large and complicated code base in .NET that makes heavy use of P/Invoke to Win32 APIs. The structure of the project is not the greatest and I am finding DllImport statements all over the place, very often duplicated for the same function, and also declared in a variety of ways:The import directives and methods are sometimes declared as public, sometimes private, sometimes as static and sometimes as instance methods. My worry is that refactoring may have unintended consequences but this might be unavoidable.
My instict is to organize a static/shared Win32 P/Invoke API class that lists all of these methods and associated constants in one file... EDIT There are over 70 imports to the user32 DLL.(The code base is made up of over 20 projects with a lot of windows message passing and cross-thread calls. It's also a VB.NET project upgraded from VB6 if that makes a difference.)

My program utilizes various images of different sizes. I want to organize these images so that they all fit into a predetermined space without resizing any of them. They need to be organized in such a way to use as much of the predetermined space as possible. I guess it would be like organizing photos in one of those old photo albums (with the translucent, mildly adhesive, peel-back plastic sheet that held the photos in place) so that you could get as many photos on a page as possible. Or you could think of it sort of like Tetris? Except all the pieces are rectangles.
I assume I would use a recursive function to loop through all the images to find out if they fit or not, then returning the best outcome? I tried searching for code samples but searching for Organizing Images or Organizing Shapes gives less than desirable results.

The reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim printProcess As New Process
printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf"
' printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help
printProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
printProcess.Start()
End Sub

When I use "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf" as the argument of FileName, it works. But when I use My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help, it says it cannot find the file.

I have a Motor Class, along with a Collection to hold objects address. Each Collection object holds the Class fields as a String to display in list box. I am able to write the collection string to the file and save the string. But unable to open the existing file, read the file back into the collection object.
Public Class Motor
Private strId As String
Private strDescription As String

I have looked all over for anything (samples or tutorials for working with files and collection objects) pertaining to type of operation with out any success.

For the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.

I need to some how integrate 2 .exe files, and 1 batch file into my project. I don't like them sitting out in the open, and this will look neater. What I mean is, when I run a command like, "Shell("cmd.exe /C Ping " & TextBox1.Lines(26))", and I have a .exe named ping in the program directory, it will open that console executable, and then to ping etc. I want to somehow pack the .exe and batch with the program.

You know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.
