I have 20 PictureBoxes named PictureBox2 through to PictureBox 21, where I need to conditionally set the positon of them. I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to set their positions than to copy the code out 20 times. This is what I have so far:

i'm creating a game like text twist. that when i press letter a, i need to determine which picturebox contains letter a and display it to different location. that also goes to the proceeding letter a's. for example, i have a jumbled letters "aamba". in my code, it only gets the first letter a and removes it form the screen, it's nowhere to be found. and it won't recognize that i still have other letter a's i'm pretty sure about the location that i set it to be placed.here is my

It seems to work fine for a small text file but when I use files larger than 100MB it does not give me an accurate count.The program is pretty simple. It should return the number of occurences of a substring from within a text file. I look for a match to the first character of the substring and if found then my code should test to see if the whole substring exists.I have run several tests but for some reason I am not getting an accurate result. I used the windowsupdate.log file. My code trturned 34596 hits but when I used MS Word to find the number of occurences it returned 50096 [code]

I'm trying to make my own clone of space invaders as it's been about a year since I've done any programming, and I imagine this will be a good way to get back into it. The main issue that I am having right now, is that I am basically clueless as to how I go about moving the player on a keypress. I have the code for the keyboard input correct, how to move my picturebox.
Here's my code so far (in a nutshell):
Dim PlayerPositionX as integer
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left

i have a custom SiteMapProvider which I populate from a database. I also have a custom SiteMapNode which has to be constructed with a custom Page argument.[code]Should I return false in AuthorizeCore() to have everything work according to default authorization protocols? (What are these?) Or should I throw my exception.SiteMap.CurrentNode is Null / Nothing (in AuthorizeCore()) if the page which is requested is not accessible to the user (obviously). How should I change my implementation? I want to keep the functionality that the Page objects are only loaded once, so I need to store them somewhere.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a small tool that identifies digital scielence in non compressed PCM WAV files. Its purpose will be to scan files approximately 1 hour long, containing mostly scilence and spltting the periods of non scilence into files and discarding any digital silence which is encoded as null bytes.I am wondering what the most efficient way of scanning the files is. I am able to derive the number of bytes for each second from the file header (in my case 16000) so am considering reading into a buffer of this size then scanning byte for byte, if I identify a non-null byte I will start siphoning the data off to another file.My issue is with scanning large expanses of digital silence which could be many megabytes of data which would require examining each byte to determine wether or not its digital silence. Surely there is a more efficient way of skipping them as I am not interested in them.

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to improve the efficiency of my giant program and I know that using a textbox to deal with a string is terribly inefficient.
Function CollectionSplit(ByVal TheString As String, ByVal TheSeperator As String)
Dim tb As New TextBox
tb.Text = TheString.Replace(TheSeperator, Environment.NewLine)
Dim returnable As New Collection
For Each x As String In tb.Lines
If Not x.Length = 0 Then returnable.Add(x)
Next
Return returnable
End Function
What it does is convert a string of "1,2,3" into a collection of the 3 separate items for use later on.

View 5 RepliesI have 3 splitcontainers on my form. Each splitcontainer has vertical splitter orientation
This forms 3 'panels' which are resizable by dragging their respective splitters.
Each vertical 'panel' is then split horizontally by adding another splitcontainer with horizontal splitter orientation. I now have 3 column 'panels' each of which is split into 2 'rows'
My question is :
In a nested splitcontainer scenario
When a user drags splitters and resizes panels,
how can I remember the last splitter location
so that when the form is closed and reopened,
it remembers the last used positions ?
For a project I need to do a String strX is said to be a cyclic rotation of a String strY if it's possible to rotate the characters in strY by some number of positions, n, such that strY becomes strX. I don't mean rotate in a Caesar sense here but in a left-right (or right-left) sense. For instance, strX = abanan is a cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana to the right by n=1 (i.e., by one position), wrapping accordingly, yields abanan. Similarly is strX = anabana cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana by n=3.I need to write an application that returns True if strX is a cyclic rotation of strY otherwise the result is False. I'm looking into how to do this, I know it will involve and if then statement and possibly some loops. Is there anyone who can help me better understand what I should do?

I would like to know if it is possible to switch the position of a StateImage with that of an IndexImage for a TreeNode in a Winforms TreeView? Please refer to the image below for an illustration. The first TreeNode has a stateImage and the second one doesn't. My aim is for all IndexImages to align to the left and the StateImage (if any) to be to the right of the IndexImage. The resulting tree would look something like: I think I have to set the tree DrawMode to OwnerDraw and override OnPaint. I read this msdn link but nothing there was said about drawing images.
View 1 RepliesThis I'm almost certain is an easy problem for those with more experience than me. I just need a routine that trades the places of 2 members of a collection class.
For example: If there are 5 objects stored in a CList of() collection class, I want to swap item # 3 and #5 (or any pair of indexes), what would be the code?
This simple problem has my head spinning because once you remove a member all the indexes change.
I have two points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) and have a straight line between the 2 points, from this I can work out the distance between the 2 points lets say it is 50.What I want to do is increase or decrease the length of the line by a predefined amount lets say 10.So If I increase the line length by 10 (from 50 to 60), What I want to work out is what point(x3,y3) would be at the end of the increased line.Hope this makes sense.I have tried to work out the new point using the angle but it does not work correctly, it does not seems to produce a perfectly straight line and the angle from point (x1,y1) to the new (x3,y3) is not the same as the angle from point (x1,y1 to x2,y2).
This is what I have tried:
:I work out the angle
aAngle =Math.Atan((Y2 Y1) / (X2 X2))

I'm attempting to create and populate a table in a new Microsoft Access (Jet) database using VB.Net 2008 Express under Windows XP Pro SP3. The database and table are being created properly, but loading the table proceeds VERY slowly. When I am loading the table, no complicating factors that might impact performance, such as indexes or table relationships have been defined. The table to be loaded is made up of relatively short rows consisting of three single byte columns, and one (four byte) integer column. I am loading approximately 16 million rows, and this is literally taking hours, while the same data can be interactively imported into Microsoft Access from a .csv file in minutes. I am trying to batch load the rows, 64K rows at a time, in order to avoid the overhead of individually transacting/committing each row individually, but suspect that I must not be doing something right. Key code that I am using for this process is provided below.

View 2 RepliesHow to find current positions of cursors in any textbox or listbox?
View 1 RepliesIn VBA / VB.NET you can assign Excel range values to an array for faster access / manipulation. Is there a way to efficiently assign other cell properties (e.g., top, left, width, height) to an array? I.e., I'd like to do something like: Dim cellTops As Variant : cellTops = Application.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Top..The code is part of a routine to programmatically check whether an image overlaps cells that are used in a workbook. My current method of iterating over the cells in the UsedRange is slow since it requires repeatedly polling for the top / left / width / height of the cells.I'm going to go ahead an accept Doug's answer as it does indeed work faster than naive iteration. In the end, I found that a non-naive iteration works faster for my purposes of detecting controls that overlap content-filled cells. The steps are basically:
(1) Find the interesting set of rows in the used range by looking at the tops and heights of the first cell in each row (my understanding is that all the cells in the row must have the same top and height, but not left and width)
(2) Iterate over the cells in the interesting rows and perform overlap detection using only the left and right positions of the cells.[code]
