I would like to believe that this code will display a horizontal line halfway across the PictureBox pbxData. In fact, what it does is create the BitMap and then blow up with a memory violation when trying to copy the BitMap into the PictureBox. The code that alters the array is commented out because I don't know how to address the elements of the array.
how to make this into useful code?
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
Private b1 As Bitmap

So I am having an issue where I want to call a variable without addressing it directly and I get an error for it:
Conversion from string "player1BuzzLock" to type 'Boolean' is not valid.
This is technically correct but why would it fail?
Dim player1BuzzLock As Boolean = False
Dim PlayerNum as Integer = 1
'...
Dim playerBuzzLock As Boolean = CType("player" & PlayerNum.ToString & "BuzzLock", Boolean)
I am trying to load a GIF file by its string name from my.resources as what GIF to show is chosen at random and based off that random number we get a valid string name. The names come out proper because I used the Msgbox trick
Here is my faulty coding
Public Function PrintCardName(ByVal Suit As String, ByVal Hand As String, ByRef ImgBoxUpdate As System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox)
'Working code omitted to save reading time
ImgBoxUpdate.Image = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(Card_File_N ame)
End Function
And Card_File_Name is a predefined string, and no there is no space after the letter N in card_file_name it just appears that way because its italicized
The issue is that the Imagebox that is referanced to IMGBOXUPDATE goes blank after this function.
I know that if you create a string like:dim a as string = "My String"if you open the compiled .exe in a hex editor you will see there "My String"now my question is about the Resources:if I add a string there, how easy would be for one to have access to it?Is it a plain xml that anyone could see or does it stay pretty hidden?
View 5 RepliesI simply cannot refer to a control on a form from module code as in all other versions of VB. Here is the code that I mean:[code]The fact that this cannot seemingly be done without getting into looping through an array of controls, assigning the control to a general control variable etc. and much more guff is puzzling and is in my opinion an added complexity to Visual Basic. There must be a simple way to do this - I just want to refer to the value in a control, on a form, from a module.

View 10 Repliesrecent thread, there was a passing discussion regarding running Rick's program in a background worker in order to keep the user interface "alive". The thread was actually about memory usage, so I decided to put this together instead.First, I'm sure no expert at any of this, so do take all of this "as is" and with a healthy dose of skepticismThebackground worker is a fairly easy way to let your program run time-consuming or complex operations on another thread so that your main thread (your user interface) stays active. This can be done other ways of course, but the BGW has many things builtinto it that makes it ideal to use for just this sort of thing.
One caveat to keep in mind is this: You cannot directly "talk" from the BGW to your main thread or you'll get a cross thread violation exception. As an example, you cannot set a label's text value (on the form, thus on your main thread) from the BGW, butyou can modify class-level variables then in the BGW's Progress Changed event, it will update that text based on the variable.In this example I'm doing this two ways: The first is a calculation of the percentage done (so that I can display it textually and in the progress bar), and the other is text indicating the status.
In vb.net, you can address a public variable from another form using the form name along with the variable.
form2.show
form2.k = 3
However, if you use a form variable to show an instance of the form, you must use that variable name to address the public variable. Two instances of the same form are displayed in the following example. The public variable k is assigned a value of 3 only in the first instance of the form, the one from form2.show. frm.k can be used to assign a value to the other form.
dim frm as new form2
form2.show
frm.show
form2.k = 3
Assuming only one instance of the form is shown in the application, is it reliable to address a public variable using the form name (form2.k), or is it better to show the form with a form variable and use that to refer to the instance of the form (frm.k)? Would the same answer apply to a property as well as a public variable?

I cannot work out the correct formatting of the above type addressing for a textbox in a (sort of) array of textboxes such as
textbox_1

The controls are on Tabs but I don't think I need to include the Tab as a container control, just refer directly to the textbox on the form, but I cannot work out how this is done in VB .NET format. In VB6 it was relatively straightforward but VB .NEt seems it is different. Can anyone help me with the correct way to formulate

I am sure this has had to have been answered somewhere but after looking on the web I cant find anything addressing variables in variables. For instance say I have var1, var2, var3, var4 decalred.

I've been working with VB for some time using my.resources.I recently installed it on a new computer(Windows 7 ),everything works fine...well almost.
I'm trying to teach my cousin how to change images in an image box using a button.I did it on my computer and it worked,but it wont work on his.Exact same code and images.
Here is what I did:
After having everything set-up I import the 2 images I want to use.
Then inside the click event for the button I write picturebox1.image = my.resources.picture1 "and here is where it doesn't work.It says I don't have any images in my resources named that.Instead it gives me two options Culture and ResourceManager but it doesn't show any of the images I previously imported.
*picture1 is the name of my image
I have no problem with the code(it works),I don't get why it's not seeing the imported images on my cousin's computer.

I have 4 arrays, each with 25 pictures(JPG); I want 4 pictures to appear on the form and to scroll through them using the form load event or a button. The problem however is I get build errors when I have more than 6 pictures in each array. the pictures load if there are 6 or less; more and it's a problem. I have considered some sort of corrupted picture but have changed pictures and get the same result.Is there a limit to the amount of memory that can be committed to resources?
