Putting A Graphics Into A Variable?
Dec 5, 2010
I am currently creating a program that outputs an image, but the image being outputted consists of text and other graphical elements.
So the text element would look like:
graphics.DrawString(text, variable, variable, variable, variable)
My problem is that I cannot create more than one set of each element that I am creating. And then put that into the code that creates the image. Is there a way of creating this line of code and then putting it into say a variable and then putting the variable into the code where the image is created?

In vb.net 2010 I'm trying to find a variable by it's name and put it's content into another variable of the same name. The code below would work for the .content of a label to copy it into another string but for a variable into another variable I might miss someting?

I'm trying to use the timer (not a Timer object) in a Do... Until loop. I want the loop to put a single variable into a label. When I do this it works and puts the value into the label (lblOxygenReading):
If btnGetOxygen.Text = "Get Oxygen Reading" Then
Select Case True
Case rdoColorWhite.Checked
strCurrentColor = "White"
Case rdoColorRed.Checked
[Code] .....
It goes through the Do loop and the For.. next loop but doesn't change the label. Visual Studio doesn't show any errors when I'm writing the code, but when I run it, it hangs somewhere.

I am coding a reversi game for my computer programming class and I need help with something. I have a list of all the systems.drawing.graphics brushes in a Combobox and I want the user to be able to pick their color. So I have the list of colors I just need to make it so I can set the color the user picks to the brush that is for his team I guess you would say.

I have an existing vb.net application which uses a home grown database. The database has over 60,000 unique multi-field records in it.The user can search in each field using drill-down to find a record, and then can add that record to a separate database.(60,000 collectibles described in a master database. User can drill down by category, manufacturer, year produced, etc. to find a record and then add it to their own 'collection', 'wanted', 'have for sale', or 'spares' database for record keeping.)
Instead of having them drill down, I would like for them to be able to perform a search and have all of the results (any amount of matches from 1 to 60,000+) appear on a scrolling form with a checkbox next to each so that they can simply check any that they want and do a mass add to their list databases.
The part I cannot figure out is how to have vb.net (2008) create a variable length scrolling form with the results, and how to identify the checkboxes (generated by the system for search matches) to see which, if any, have been checked by the user.

We have a GIS application that has some performance issues. It creates and sends an image to a web browser. We start with a Bing Maps imager, add complex polygons (complete with transparent fill), save the finished image as a PNG, and send it to the browser.
The idea has come up that we could possibly install a graphics card and use DirectX or OpenGL to improve performance. I believe this would be the case even though we ultimately generate an image instead of sending the data the the screen. I believe our processes could still make use of the API and the hardware acceleration it provides. Our process is not unlike what CGI film makers do to render individuals frames of a film, though we simply render a single image and send it, as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of images needed for a single CGI film.
So my question is: would a powerful graphics card and use of DirectDraw or OpenGL provide us a worthwhile performance boost? It can take us 20-30 seconds to render a more complex map. Which is a long time to wait on a web page...

I used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

ok, i know the code is a little rough, but it should be good to give you an idea of what im trying to do, if not i will still explain.simply draw 2 lines one from left to right, another from top to bottom, intersecting through the tip of the mouse.ok, theres no problem there the lines draw perfectally the way i want them.... BUT! now heres the issue im having.i cant get rid the previous lines.i did a bit of good old "Google'ing" and ran across a few links that all pointed me to the ReDrawWindow API, so i tried (as you can see in the above code) but i just cant seem to get it worked out.

So I decided to make my famous tile selector project, but instead of drawing in a form's graphics, do it inside a tabpage.Well, I managed to get it working, but it seems to... flicker.Normally, setting the form's DoubleBuffered property to True would help a lot there, but apparently, the tabpage has no such property.
When I invalidate the tabpage, I draw two images and fill one rectangle.Following past advice, those two images were created before, just once, and are stored in a variable so I don't create them every time I invalidate the tabpage.

My application is all centered around one form with lots of graphics drawings on it.All these drawings take place from within a paint event handler. However, the amount of code within that sub is becomming unwieldy.I have been trying to move sonme of it to another class and use the "dim temp as Graphics = e.graphics" construction to continue to draw graphics. However, I get all kind of argument exception runtime arreors when doing so (and I do not get these with the same graphics operations directly from the original paint event handler. I have also tried to pass on the original e argument, but with the same result.Is my conclusion that there is no solution to this so to continue with the unwieldy amount of code,correct, or am I mistaken somewhere. the "dim temp as graphics = e graphics" is recommended.

I load my picturebox with a jpeg. If I put my DrawObjects() sub into picturebox paint event.When ever a picturebox.refresh or picturebox.visible = true (vb.net seems to draw my DrawObjects() first, then load the jpeg Image over my drawing - erasing drawing) Is there a way to get the picturebox to redraw the jpg image first then draw on it, in picturebox paint event?

In a Previous Thread, I asked some questions about how to create graphics. Everything was OK, until I realized that the graphics are really slow. While I was trying to find out what the problem was, I realized that the processor load was about 50% and my graphics card was not used at all. So doesn't Visual Basic use the Graphics Accelerator to process graphics? What I made is not a real program. It's like an experiment (I tried to make an image flip). Here is the Code:

I have attached a picture of yahoo Messenger with this Thread and highlighted the 2 text fields and a button with red line. The problem is that I have seen a small program in the computer of my friend. When He double clicked on that program, it (program) automatically puts the User ID and Password in Yahoo Messenger relevant fields and automatically presses the Login Button. I have tried much to get the source code of that program, but cant.

I need a little advice in manipulating DataGridView in Visual Basic .Net. This is my first time playing with DataGridView. My program is to load a .txt file containing data of every room in a building and display them in the DataGridView. Here is a portion of the file showing 2 rooms:
1;1812;1812;F18;T1;26808.16;.00;.00;.00;.00;.00;.00;
1;1813;1813;F18;T1;24000.00;3500.00;.00;300.00;.00;.00;.00
A room is a one-line string that ends with an endline character.I have no problem with loading the file and getting all these information. I store data of each room into an object of class Room, and put them in a list.Right now, I put all of the properties of the room into the data grid's columns like this:
Now, how can I put all these rooms' data into the grid? I tried follow [URL].. at first, but setting DataSource to a list of class Room imitating from the given link doesn't show anything in the grid view.How can we tell the program to link rows of the grid to a list of objects? Or am I doing it wrong?
