Saving The Forms Icon?
Mar 11, 2012
I have been trying for a good while to save the forms icon(the one shown in the taskbar & such to a file...using such code as Me.Icon.Save(stream) & writing the stream to disk for example but every time I do there is a loss of color information it seems, maybe due to not using 32-bit color or lossless color or something...by what I see online it only uses 24-bit color or something.?Not sure what the problem is specifically but the point is there is a loss of color information.if I use Me.Icon.ToBitmap.Save() it works & saves right but it saves as type .png by default, regardless of the extension & not an actual icon file(.ico) which would be usable in the editor itself as an icon how do I convert it or save it correctly to begin with but without the loss of color information.This is basically a test project to see what I can do & what I still need to work on...and this is apparently one spot but I can't figure out the problem after searching bing, google and a few other search sites and reviewing the top 100 links of each to see if any contain any useful information on how to get this working....

Im a novice programmer just learning VB .NET 4, I have some basic knowledge of programming but no expert.
My question, I building i simple program that interacts with a small .mdb database file.I've been adding several forms to my application but now all of a sudden on the main form, I'm getting a constant busy icon "blue circle". Also this happens on one other form when the cursor is on any open space of the form, but returns to an arrow when over any button or text box.
The main form has no real code whatsoever, its basically just a toolstripmenu and the only code is several tool strip buttons like the one below Private Sub CompanysToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CompanysToolStripMenuItem.Click

I have one program with many, many forms in it and the same program is used for two companies. Basically, when a user starts the program the data location is set depending on which of the two companies is being used. Therefore, I am trying to dynamically set the icon for each form based upon which company is being used. I didn't want to add code on every form to set the icon, which is mostly what I found when I was searching for a solution.

I noticed that when the app closed the icon remained on the taskbar until the mouse was hovered over it, so added this:-
If Not AlarmClockNotify Is Nothing Then
AlarmClockNotify.Dispose()
End If
.. and that did the job.
Then I noticed that if the balloon was showing at the time the app was closed, the icon went - but the balloon stayed, so added this:-
If Not AlarmClockNotify Is Nothing Then
AlarmClockNotify.Visible = False
AlarmClockNotify.Visible = True
AlarmClockNotify.Dispose()
End If
and everything worked fine until the app was closed WITHOUT the icon showing (only dislays if an alarm is pending in the next x days) - then it throws and 'object reference not set to an instance of an object' - odd because it passed straight through the 'not is nothing' If statement.

I have created a new icon using VB.NET and have saved it to the project directory. I then set the icon property for a form to point to my new icon file. The new icon shows up in the properties window but when the program runs, the title bar displays the default icon that you get when starting a new icon file rather than my new icon.

This context menu is pops up where the user right clicks inside a dataGridView
When adding the items the VB code is
Dim m As New ContextMenu()
m.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Disassociate *A* Device"))
m.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Purge Device Assosciations"))
Is there no simple way to reference a resource to add an icon to said menuItems?
Pseudo

I'm totally new to the programming area. I'm using VB 2008 and I'm trying to save three textboxes in a text format. I have tried some code but my problem is that I don't want to save always at the same name (test.txt). How can I do it.
Here is the code that I'm using (and probably has lot of mistakes :'( )
Public Class Form1
Const mForm1Name As String = "c:est.txt"
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Form1 As System.IO.StreamWriter
[Code] .....
I understand that the problem is on the top where I've placed Const mForm1Name As String = "c:est.txt", but when I'm taking it out gives back a mistake. Also my form doesn't close when I save.

So I'm a beginner and I'm guessing this has been asked before, but can anyone tell me how to save multiple inputs from textboxes and radio buttons etc. as one whole umm... thing in a STANDALONE form. I don't want any extra CFG or INI files etc. Kind of like how a new profile in a game would work. I'm a beginner so please try to keep it simple (or if you already know of a thread with the exact same question please link that as a reply instead).

I'm a newbee with VBnet , I use vbnet2005 I have a major form called FORM1, and when I click the bottons in it it shows another form for example-I have these some forms (printscreen):
FORM1 - major form
FORM2 - calculation form ( there are few forms like this)
FORM3 - result form
What I need is:When I open FORM2 and get results I push the botton SEND and then it should send the values into FORM3 I don't know if the public variable will be good here because they are not constant , I can get different results in FORM2 ,and these results should be writen in textboxes only after I push send bottom.
I hope it is clear , I don't know how to do it,if you can give me a code for this or detailed answer , I would be very glad.

I am trying to get my project to be able to save the data been input from a user. I have uploaded a screen shot of the dialog I am currently trying to use. You will see that I have got a combobox for member at the top. What I want is when the "new" button gets clicked then I can add the desired information then click "Ok buttton which will then save the information.
I want to be able to select members from the combobox after multiple have been recorded to be able to delete or edit them. I have got as far as "changing" the combobox to a textbox for input purposes. I have tried a few attempts to get it. I am getting "ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled"

I have been working on a project which is used by a company's sale team, to combine all the wanted input data in one place allowing the sales team to show customers, where switching to them could save them money.
Basically what i want is a program which can save single records, which can hold data added in other text boxes, or indeed take the data from the list view boxes which is the intended output. I want to be able to save that data, then be able to Open it up again at a later date, and even modify it.
enabled me to save the three ways to identify a single record, the index number, company name and the date it was added. However I now need a way to save the data entered in my other forms to these single records.

I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load()
Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico")
Me.Icon = ico
End Sub

I'm not sure exactly if the folder icon is in shell32.dll, but nonetheless if it is.Basically, whenever I come across a folder in a FileSystem list, I want to add the icon for a folder to the image list that I am using for the ListView. The problem is that I'm not sure how to reference a specific icon location in a icon collection in a dll.Is this possible with Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon and shell32.dll?
