Resource Folder - All Toolbar Icons Gone After Manually Editing File
Dec 9, 2011
I deleted 3 old pictures from my resource folder. When building compiler alerted me to missing resources. Stupidly i manually edited the file and all my Toolbar icons are gone. Interesting enough the menu strip text all vanished and so did my status strip text. I managed to add back the deleted lines but still the same. If i delete the toolstrip all its buttons remain. Manually deleting each control, rewriting we are talking hours and hours of work.

So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)

I am trying to find a way (VB or C#) to read items that should be present in the systray without looking into the items in explorer's toolbar control. Basic idea is to emulate the systray on a shell other than explorer.exe

i have program that must connect to a database at startup, i want the program to first check if the database exists (incase the user deleted it by mistake). If it doesnt exist the program must copy one which i have as a resource, to a certain folder. I have run into a minor problem though.. How do i copy the file from resources to the folder because, the IO.File.Copy() method only allows me to put the file path.

I've been searching in google for some time now and i've just found answers like "Resources are embedded in the exe so you can't retrieve the path" and other answers which are complicated and not even explained how to use the code. ~~However my problem is that i have a .txt resource file in my resources and i want to edit the content of the file so i triedIO.File.WriteAllText(My.Resources.MyTextFile, "some string")but that didn't work out since [My.Resources.MyTextFile] retrieves the content/value of the resource so what i want to do is edit the resource file simply, from within my application, not by going to My Project > Resources and from there, edit the file

TortoiseSVN and Dropbox both have Windows shell extensions that make file icons within Windows Explorer show a small icon beside the main one, showing the file's status - has it been synced, etc How can I make my application show icons beside files like that using the Windows API? Or is there some file attribute to do that?

Created MyLitsBox project as described in Michael Halvorson's book MS VB 2010 Step by Step book. Tip box on p. 89 says to make programs more robust embed images into application rather than use absolute path names to link images into the application. Searched on Halvorson's recommendation "How to: Create Embedded Resources" and found the info at: [URL]
OK. As usual the most difficult thing is finding the menu item, etc., the instructions direct you to. Do the people who write these instructions ever try using them?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Instructions are as follows
To edit a resource by using the default editor
With a project selected in Solution Explorer, on the Project menu, click Properties.
Click the Resources tab.
On the Resource Designer toolbar, point to the resource view drop-down, click the arrow, and select the type of resource that you want to edit.
Double-click the resource to open the default editor for that resource type.
In the Properties window, select the Persistence property and change it to Embedded in .resx.

I have a Quick Launch Toolbar linked to a folder of shortcuts.In this folder I link other folders and applications that I use commonly.I'm trying to use WSH to create a shortcut to a folder in my Quick Launch toolbar, but the shortcut isn't being created correctly.I suspect my problem is that, evidently, Windows has two kinds of shortcuts to folders.Using Explorer,I navigate to my Quick Launch folder, and choose the File | New | Shortcut, supplying the name of another folder as a target, it creates the shortcut.Using Explorer, looking at the shortcut in the details panel, Win says the shortcut is of type "Shortcut". Looking at its properties, the type is also Shortcut, and looking at the Shortcut tab, the Target Type is "Folder" and the Target location is the path I supplied. Now create the shortcut another way.Locate the folder in Explorer, and right-click-drag it to the same Quick Launch folder, choosing to Create a Shortcut.Now, Explorer thinks the shortcut is of type "Folder" and looking at it's properties, the Type is Folder (Target Type isn't shown) and the Target does point to the real location.There isn't a Shortcut tab now either.Both are definitely shortcuts to the same folder (I've double-checked), but they work differently in Quick Launch.If you pull up the Quick Launch toolbar and hover over the second shorcut, Windows pops out a sub-menu that contains the folder's contents. However, there is no such functionality using the first shortcut, you would have to choose Explore from the right-click menu to view it's contents.
(Below, the "Work" dir is my Quick Launch toolbar's folder)Using WSH, I can create a shortcut that doesn't autoexpand as follows: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")[code].....
