SplashScreen Staying Open Even After Application Exits?
Apr 30, 2012
Windows Forms VB Application.. I added a splashScreen to my application. And it was flashing only for a second then going away so I added a sleep timer to my Form Load event... The problem is now the splashScreen stays open even After Application exits, instead of simply closing at the end of the sleeptimer.. The Part of the Form Load event that is causing this is as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
i am trying to understand how to keep my console app open even after it gathers data and sends it off. I am converting a GUI to the console app. It has a timer that fires the sub every 20 seconds. But it doesnt seem like it works in the console app since after it fires off the sub it closes the app without waiting.
I've made an application in Visual Basics, But I Want A msgbox to appear when the form is closed would this work?
Private Sub Form1_OnExit(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.OnExit MsgBox("Have You Saved, If Not Your Work WILL Be Discarded!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Have You Saved?") End Sub
I need to preserve a collection even after application exits. In ASP if i use application object this can be acheived. But in windows application what could i do to preserve collections?

Every 90 minutes a Microsoft Search Server hits a particular (spider) page which calls the code to put the objects into the cache.The issue i have is that over a period of time, the memory usage of the application grows exponentially. Lets say that in a week, the memory usage of the application pool grows to over 1gb
So I have this Windows service created in VB.Net, and all it does is perform a few calls and sits there.I have it installed on a test machine and when I start it manually, it starts up. When I stop manually, shuts down properly (onStop is called).When I start it, and reboot the machine, the service starts like it should, but when I log in, the service isn't running anymore and the onStop never showed up as being executed.I installed the service with admin privileges, so that shouldn't be an issue.Here is what I have:
Sub New() ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent()[code].....
I am making a small bill manager program. I have setup a listview and I am using access db. Things are working great and when I pay a bill it enters in the database perfect, but when it is shown in the listview it shows the date plus the time. Why does it show correct in the database and not in the listview? I tried using .ToShortDateString instead .ToString but then it just tells me it doesn't like late binding.
I have a form in vb.net with a checkbox and I want it to stay in top of other windows if the user checks the checkbox and not to stay in top of other windows when the checkbox is not checked
I have a listview control setup with full row select. When I select a row and then tab to the next control, the selected row is no longer selected visually. Is there any way to keep it marked so the use knows which row they selected even when the focus is on another control?
I have a parent MDI form and several MDI children. All have menustrips and toolstrips. The merging of the menustrips was no problem at all but I'm trying to do the same thing for the toolstrips, but now it's a no go. The toolstrips are staying separated. Is it possible to merge toolstrips?
I want to open up an existing instance if my program is already running only if its running the same version.I noticed that this question was asked for only if the name exists, but what if the version is older, I just want to notify the user that an older version is still running, "please remove older version before starting this version."The other link is this one:Return to an already open application when a user tries to open a new instance but they don't talk about closing an instance if an older or newer version is detected.
I 'm working on a quite large VB application, and recently I started profiling the memory usage, because there were some issues with objects not being collected.I noticed that the SplashScreen (boilerplate SplashScreen hooked up via Project Properties) never gets collected, because is remains referenced by My.MyProject.MyForms.m_SplashScreen. This is apparantly a private member, and I can't figure out how and where to set it to nothing with reflection code.I looked into my code to make sure i'm not doing anything special; I don't even reference the form anywhere.
I want to allow my user to add urls to a database, much as a user might add file names. I have a form with a label, a textbox, and a browse button. I would like the browse button to load the user's default browser and then have the final url appear in the textbox when the browser closes. I have not been able to do that, but I have come close. I have not found a way to capture the url from an arbitray browser, so I instead load ie.exe and then capture the url with an OnQuit handler. That works (even verified by the debugger) but I am unable to get the url to appear in the textbox without actually clicking in the textbox once ie closes. I would like a suggestion as to how to avoid making my user click in the textbox and, if possible, to load the user's default browser and still capture the url. Here is my code for the Browse button (IE is defined at the class level as Dim WithEvents IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer):
this is the error I started getting only when I added a splashscreen to my application. Please note that I haven't added any code there - on the contrary - I removed everything from the Splash class. The issue seems not to occur when debugging - I got it from my Virtual machine - what makes the problem a bit more complicated as I have no idea which line may cause it. The problem shows up between splash_screen_dispose and main_show (when I click continue all is ok).
The details of my err. message:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I am using Visual Basic Express Edition 2008. I want my main (and only) form to not be re-sizeable.
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog To my main form load function. However, when I add this code, the form loads over my splashscreen. I am trying to have my splash screen displayed for a set amount of time
Main form loads and displays a table of records. Form1_load goes through each record and looks up external data for updates and this takes noticeable time. I have a splash screen that comes up while the main form is loading and I want the splash screen to display the status in a progress bar named ProgBar. I recall the method used a 'delegate' and my SplashScreen1 uses this code:
Delegate Sub UpdateBar(ByVal X As Long)
[Code]....
The main form already loops through each record and all I want it to do is update the progress bar if the splash screen is open.

I have set a splash screen form as the application splash screen in VB.net 2008 I have set a form login as the start object. On load event it executes inital process. It runs fine except when the form login, during executing inital process, must be display a modal form, a messagebox, etc. because these are displayed behind the splash screen. How I can do it to show the msgbox, form dialog at the front?
I have GridView in Application where I have my CPUserID. There can be thousands records in GridView with different CPUserIDs.
Now I have a button "Allocate Token". But before allocating the token I want to check in my Token Table that if that CPUserID has already exists in table it should not allow user to allocate token and will return some message for that user.
For Each curRow As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows Dim cpuserid As Label = CType(curRow.Cells(1).FindControl("lblCPUserID"), Label) Next
I have been using the 'findby' method for sometime, but now it suddenly is failing me on a new data source I have added to the project. I have the data source bound to a form and I am trying to find values based upon a primary key. This evades me, I am able to look up rows using 'findby' with other tables, but not this one.
Dim AnsiX12Row As ansisupplementDataSet.ANSIX12Row = Me.AnsisupplementDataSet.ANSIX12.FindBySegmentElement(CurColName) If AnsiX12Row IsNot Nothing Then
[Code].....
I have checked and re-checked, the CurColName is for a value in the table, but cant seem to find it... I always have AnsiX12Row = nothingBradford W Brown
I have just converting my VB6 project to VB.NET 2008. I have set up start with Model. It start with Main() sub, in Main sub I have declare as below:
Dim frm as new Formpwd frm.show()
In formpwd I have UserId, PWD as test box and Two command buttons. The system executes form_load code and then PWD and UserId_Gotfoucus handler and then closes the system. Why is not waiting to accept UserId and PWD?
