Deployment :: Application Icon Setting In Project Properties
Jun 5, 2009I have a icon for my application that I set in the project properties window there is a little drop down box to browse to the icon location. While debugging everything is good. Once I build the app and place it on a PC and manually start the app all is good. My app starts with windows and now every time the program goes to start I get an error that the icon cannot be found in the DocumentandSettingUSERNAME folder. So the question is do I have to place my app icon in this folder? In design I have the icon in the binDebug folder and that is were I point to in the Project properties page.
I am using VS 2008 VB.net.
Forms :: Created A New Icon And Have Saved It To The Project Directory
Mar 18, 2006I 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.
View 5 RepliesApplication Icon Image Doesn't Show In Taskbar In "small Icon" Setting
May 4, 2011I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.

View 4 RepliesForms :: Constant Busy Icon On Some Forms?
Sep 4, 2011Im 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

View 2 RepliesSetting Up Database Within A Project?
Mar 11, 2010I have created a project with my forms & a little bit of validation logic, the basic skeleton of the project looks just fine.The data that I have for the project is currently in 2 Excel spreadsheets, so I have created a database within my project (I chose a SQL option, even though I have only ever used Access in the past) & I now have Database1.sdf & MyFinancesDB.xsd in my Solution Explorer.
I have created 2 Tables, the same as the Spreadsheets & have created Columns as necessary, and also set up Primary keys in both Tables and linked the Primary key of the Parent Table to a keyed column in the Child Table ... I *think* I have done what I need to do.Now, the big question (assuming I have set things up correctly !) is how do I import / load the data from the Excel spreadsheets into the SQL Tables?

View 3 RepliesSaving The Forms Icon?
Mar 11, 2012I 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....

VS 2010 Form Icon For All Forms?

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.

View 2 RepliesForms :: How To Close Notify Icon Cleanly
Jun 3, 2010I 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.
