Parameter Is Not Valid Error While Drawing A Rectangle
Jun 26, 2011
I have made a program that lets you select an area of a picture and then crop it, I am having problems while drawing the rectangle that shows which area will be cropped, following is my code.
[CODE].............
This is declaration of all the variables that I am using.
[CODE].............
Over here I send the graphics handle of the "canvas" control (which is just a picturebox) to a higher level, so I can use it later.
[CODE].............
Over here I get the starting position for my rectangle
[CODE].............
This part is supposed to draw the rectangle, as I am moving the mouse over the Canvas control, but I get an error where the rectangle is being drawn, I originally thought that the problem might have been with the fact that as soon as I begin moving the mouse, the CropWidth and CropHeight variables are at zero, and that is causing the invalid input error. So I made it that it would not draw the rectangle until it reached a minimum size of 4 x 4 pixels but it still does not fix the error, I debugged to see if there was a problem with the values of the variables, but they all seemed fine, I even tries doing this CanvasGraphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, 20, 20, 20, 20) so as to eliminate the factor of the wrong values, but still the same error.

I'M creating a kind of photo viewer, and I cannot figure out how to orient the scroll buttons with the photos I want to draw because they all are different sizes.This is really hard to explain so please ask questions if you don't understand.I'M thinking if i could draw every photo on a single rectangle and then the scroll bars will position that rectangle up or down. but is there a way to make a rectangle inside another one so it only shows inside that rectangle?

Dim data As Byte() = DirectCast(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte())
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(CType(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte()))
PictureBox2.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
After reading many forums and trying the different examples, when I try and load my image from the database I get the "Parameter is not Valid" error.Im using VB 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and the data type is Image. I do not have access to the source code that is used to save the picture to the database, just access to tthe data in the db.The code I have included is the code I use to retrieve images from my db which stores the pictures as Image.

STEP1--image data is sending by a vehicle tracking unit.using a socket application i am tracing that data.the data from the vehicle tracking unit is not in a decimal format.image data coming from socket containing lot of special type of characters. so i am converting this image information to hex format using the code below.
Private Function Data_Asc_Hex(ByRef Data As String) As String On Error Resume Next 'first take each charcter using substring. 'then convert character into ascii. 'then convert ascii value into Hex Format Dim sValue As String Dim sHex As String = ""

In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean
Private Sub BDUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BDUpdate.Click
If BDBarcodeSample.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please enter a sample text", MsgBoxStyle.Information Or MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, ProgramTitle)

"Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown"
& second time I got this one
"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.
The error is: Parameter is not valid."
By the way my program has 25 forms.

I am getting a "Parameter is not valid " error when reading a value from an Image property and I don't know why.
Writing to the property works just fine (MyControl.EditImage = PictureBox1.Image) .
Reading from the property causes an error (PictureBox1.Image = MyControl.EditImage )
The Property looks like:
Private mNewImage As Image
Public Property EditImage() As Image

I'm trying to make a Tetris game in VB 2010. I am having some problems with a function I have written that draws new squares and fills them with the colour needed. Here are the details of the error:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled
Message=Parameter is not valid.
Source=System.Drawing
StackTrace:[code].....
The line g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, lngX, lngY, 24, 24) is highlighted as the error. 'g' is the graphics of the form and lngX and lngY are the predetermined coordinates of the shape as long variables.I have researched this error but I couldn't understand Microsoft's explanation, and no other threads applied to my case.

Okay, I've got a rectangle shape named Header and in the form class I Dim a new rectangle named DrawingRect. Here is the code that I used to set the location coordinates and size.
Dim DrawingRect As New Rectangle(Header.Size.Width - 18, Header.Size.Height - 17, 14, 14)
Whenever I run the program, however, it stops me and says "InvalidOperationException was unhandled". How do I get this to work?

I am trying to make a rectangle that can be resized by the userby clicking and dragging the edges/corners of the rectangleTypically, if the mouse enters the rectangle region, then smalladjustment boxes should appear at the corners of the rectangleand also at the middle of the rectangle's edges (to allow the userto drag and resize the rectangle). When the mouse leaves therectangle region, then the adjustment boxes should disappear.I have the code to draw the rectangle and to produce the smalladjustment boxes, but I'm not sure how to accomplish thedrag and resizing steps (or if it's even possible with the way mycode is written).

I'm drawing a rectangle snapped to a grid by getting the start point(Mouse down e.location) and the end point(mouseup(e.location). The coding I'm having trouble with is having the program determine which way to draw the rectangle(where the location should be, and the height and width.) Now, this would be extremely simple if the user started their rectangle from the top left corner and ended it in the bottom right every time. But you need to be able to drag from all angles. So does anyone have some code lying around that I could look at so I could actually get my rectangles drawn right?

I have been trying to learn vb.Net for about a year now, but with other work getting in the way, my progress forward is moving, but not as fast as I would like. So I am hung up on this issue which seems like it should be a no-brainer but it still does not make sense, and I can't find any clarification on it.
With the
With MyPen
.Color = Color.FromArgb(LineColorVALs(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2))
.Width = LineWeights(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2)
End With
The array "LineWeights()" is declared as Integer and the values of the indexes are correct. This leads to an integer value of "1" coming out of the array and into MyPen.Width.
The ".Color" line executes OK, but I get the error, "Parameter is not valid." at the ".Width" line. I have tried declaring LineWeights as Short, too, but same problem.

I'm making a custom class that mocks the System.Drawing.Rectangle class because the Rectangle class doesn't have a name property. I need a name property because I am adding all of my rectangles to a collection and I need a little more info stored than just their locale and size. So I changed the _onPaint event but nothing is working out when I run the program?

I get this error from my application, but not in the development environment (VS 2008). I created an installer package and have installed it on two different XP machines with no problem. However, on a Vista system when the application runs code to generate an image I get a "Parameter is not valid" exception. I have no clue what could be causing this given the circumstances. To generate the image I am creating a bitmap with a valid size and simply creating the graphic. Since I can't repoduce the error in VS I don't have a way to troubleshoot this.
