View 9 RepliesI've been working on this game the past few days, a simple game where two people control different tanks, and shoot each other, very basic so far.The problem I have is when one player is dead. I have the form recognizing each players death by using this code (It's within a timer subroutine)
'Player One Dead
If intPlayerOneHealth <= 0 Then
btnReplay.Visible = True
End If
[code]....
and that code is replicated for every key pressed (Arrow keys, WASD, e, and end). Those booleans are handled in a timer subroutine, where if the boolean is true, they will move/shoot. (Turning the booleans to false is done in the 'Private Sub KeysUp' subroutine)
TL;DR How do I get the game to restart itself when a player dies and hits the replay button?
P.S. I've tried 'Me.Refresh()' as well, and that didn't do anything
I save all the form controls(texboxes,Labels) with name and location in a XML file.

View 5 RepliesThis happened to be once awhile ago and I thought I had the solution, but apparently I don't. Very rare, but what happens is, I'll start a new project, build my controls on the form, go into the code window and write some code. I'll save this all out, but when I reload the project, the code window comes up OK, but the design window is just gone. The code for the form and all the controls is still there in the form.designer window, but the form itself just will not appear, and there is no icon for it over in the Solution Explorer to click on

I have a problem in timers, I want to display 2 forms each one after 3 and 5, how to do that? I mean when the first form appears, after 3 seconds another one will appear, then after 5 seconds the second will appear. I have a code where someone gave me here but its for message box only, thus I modify it to put a form still does not work. Here the code I put in the timer below:
Private Sub frmblabla_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
tmrnote.Start()
Private Sub tmrnote_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrnote.Tick[code]....
I still have problem when the message box stops, it displays all the forms together. All I want is when the message box stops, then it display the first form then stop to display the second then stop to display the last. The first form must stay for 3 seconds on the screen, then after 3 seconds the second appears then after 5 seconds the last appears.
I am trying to place a repeater within a repeater using xml data. I have it working exactly as I want, but the method I have used reloads the data for each repeater.

I have created a file say "abcd.xml".I have created this in a device which can be connected to my system and synchronized(which means data from the device can be synched to the database and vice versa).Now when I reset the device all the details in the device is lost but it exist in the file. When we do a reset and do a sync I need to check a condition and if its true I need to load the details from the file to database.This is what I'm supposed to do

Ok so I have designed a program to figure out commissions for phone sales at my company. Since the devices we sell and their associated prices change over time, I had to make that data within my program dynamic. I have a form within my program (frmprice) that has 160 textboxes - 80 for the devices and 80 for the associated prices. Now I hard coded the .text members with default values for our current stock of phones and prices.
I also added code so whenever that form with the phones and prices (frmprice) closes it saves any changes that have been made to either the phones or prices and when the form loads it overwrites the default data with any data that the user had entered at last run.
HERE is my logic problem. At the very first run the program is overwriting the default hard coded values with "" because no user data has ever been entered before. So when the form with the prices loads, it passes the user entered data from last run which is null because it has never run before. If I test to see if default value <> the user entered data before it executes the code to pass the user entered values it will always test to be true because the user entered data is null at first run. If I test to see if the default value is = to the user data it will always at first run test to be false because there is no user data yet.
HOWEVER once the user entered data is initialized (anytime after the first run) I need the program to pass the user data from the previous runs back in. Just NOT at the first run. Here is the code i am using: (in the code below the variables ending in "val" are the ones that are of the type string and are saved in the application settings) The frmprice_Load Event:

I have declared a webbrowser control on my form and assigned a URI to it upon load. This works fine and the webbrowser.documenttext is set to the html of the document. What I need to do is on the second run through of the program it needs to refresh the page to check if the code is still the same. I have the following code set but it appears as though after a refresh it is not working because if the code is changed it still sees the old code in webbrowser.documenttext.

I have a datagridview control. I want to save the rows and then restore them the next time I run the program.
How do I write the rows out to an XML file?
I know how to fill the rows from an XML file. But when I've done so I can't add any more rows. It gives the following exception when I try: Rows cannot be programmatically added to the DataGridView's rows collection when the control is data-bound. What can I do about this?
Or is there an easier way to save and restore the rows?
