Use Of Animation In .Net - Drag Race Tree?
Jan 23, 2009
I have been given an assignment for my VB.Net class. Basically,given the race car's weight, horsepower and distance traveled,determine the time.I am going a couple of steps further...
(1) I am including two pictures of competing race cars at the staging area and a short track to travel (makes the assignment more interesting). I would like to know if it is possible to provide an animated light sequence of the Race Tree (staging lights, 3 sets of amber lights, and the green light) with a timer activating the start of the race.
(2) I would also like to incorporate a "sound" track of a race car as the two race cars proceed to the finish line. I realize that the user may enter any distance for the race. Regardless of the amount of time it takes to run the track (if given a long distance),I'm going to calculate the total time to span just 15 sec. Again, I would like to know if it's possible to incorporate these two
separate modules into my program using the Window's form application?Also, what resources should I study to gain knowledge on how to
execute the two modules?

drag and drop nodes within the same tree (not between trees) when users drag and drop nodes within the tree, give them the option to move the original node to a new location within the tree OR to just copy the original node in a new location (seems complex but I have a month to figure this out). change the system default blue highlight for selected nodes to another color change the system default cursors for invalid and valid drops (instead of the circle with slash indicating invalid target, i want a red minus) and (instead of the little plus sign with little box indicating a valid target, i want just a big green plus sign) add a red insert line to indicate where the node would be dropped within a tree also drag and drop the text of a node from the tree to a textbox add a "folder" image next to parent nodes and a "document" image next to children nodes
I have looked through the internet but I am having difficulty sorting through all the information available (I see a lot of information for Visual Basic 5 and 6, and those codes don't work for me in visual studio 2008). I can email anyone my code I have so far.
Public Class Form1
Private MouseIsDown As Boolean = False
Public Sub TreeView_ItemDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ItemDragEventArgs)Handles TreeView1.ItemDrag

I am not the original author of this software project and the code is poorly documented. I am mainly a Java/C++ developer.The program displays the tree structure and allows files and folder to be selected. The program is getting errors with FileSystemTreeView when trying to return nodes on a system with a reserved partition.Here is what is happening: tree.SelectedNode = tree.Nodes(0) 'returns error with system reserved partition.calling, GetDriveList() will properly return all the drive letters - and not throw an error. Only when trying to get a tree.Node() or tree.load() is the error occurring.

I use a worker thread to do the procedure of query and fill the datasetAnd I use 3rd party component called DevExpress XtraGrid: GridControl to view the query outputI don't forget to use invoke and delegate to set the GridControl.datasourceOn Timer.Tick(), the thread is started and the procedure is called user has scrolled down the GridControl, even only one scroll value instead,and then the Timer.Tick() fired, I gottwo errors randomly.

For a race, I am trying to evenly disperse the heats for smaller race groups within those of larger race groups. I do not want the smaller groups to finish too early and I am also trying to minimize groups running back to back heats.
As an example:
Group A has 4 heats
Group B has 2 heats
Group C has 1 heat
The resulting schedule would look something like this:
A1 B1 A2 C1 A3 B2 A4
To complicate things, there could be any number of race groups and each race group can have any number of heats.

Basic out line connecting to an irc server. We connect to this server using a TCP client on a separate thread from the UI. Now the raw numeric for the MOTD is "372" so when our streamreader reads this value from the worker thread it raises it's value and displays it to a RTB. Now my issue. When i connect to a server i wait till raw "372" before i check to see if i need to join a channel. But a lot of servers have more then then one line MOTD each sending there own "372". So if a server has a long MOTD that could mean over 100 "372".
Now while it does not effect the UI of my app i wish to move the "372" to it's own thread from the current worker thread. But thats the problem. How do i move the MOTD to it's own thread when it's still being read.

I have a legacy data table in SQL Server 2005 that has a PK with no identity/autoincrement and no power to implement one. As a result, I am forced to create new records in ASP.NET manually via the ole "SELECT MAX(id) + 1 FROM table"-before-insert technique.Obviously this creates a race condition on the ID in the event of simultaneous inserts.
What's the best way to gracefully resolve the event of a race collision? I'm looking for VB.NET or C# code ideas along the lines of detecting a collision and then re-attempting the failed insert by getting yet another max(id) + 1. Can this be done?

im having problems with IP To country code, it checks country on .dat file, and it gives this error.Probable I/O race condition detected while copying memory. The I/O package is not thread safe by default. In multithreaded applications, a stream must be accessed in a thread-safe way, such as a thread-safe wrapper returned by TextReader's or TextWriter's Synchronized methods. This also applies to classes like StreamWriter and StreamReader.
My
Dim country As String = Me.geo.lookupCountryName(DataGridView1.Item(1, count).Value)
DataGridView1.Item(4, count).Value = country.ToString

I am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?

Currently, working on my chess program, I am trying to show a bunch of chess variants in a picture box but i have come to a forked road of either making all the images collectively into a Gif animation using fireworks, or using the timer to shift them one by one. The following code does not work and i am seeking help for a alternative code:

(non-coding request)Okay, I have my client, my server, and my map editor...a 2d online game, and yes it's written in VB.NET.I have had a lot of trouble finding anything to do with adding an animation layer something that will flash with a timer to appear as if something like fire is animated. I have a lot done so far and I kinda want to stick with VB.NET working with this.
I'm not really looking for code here, but maybe an idea of "how" an animation layer plays into a map editor and client...specifically what is needed.Running this through my head I believe I am going to need a timer on both the map editor and client, showing and hiding the animation layer...but I don't think it is that easy, and am hoping someone here has an idea of the logic of how this works. I'm almost certain that the timer doesn't go on the server to control this, but am probably wrong.

I'm trying to create an animation with 5 picture boxes (labeled picturebox0 - picturebox4) but I have a specific order I want them to display. I made 5 picture boxes, added images to them, and stack them on top of each other.
I want the order to show this: picturebox 0, 1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3... etc
The code I have using if-else statements which would work if I wanted to repeat the same display pattern but I need to manually right the pattern... I have at timer set to change the pictures every 2.5 seconds.
Code:
Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

Doing the Christmas animation. I have gotten a nice HID set up to recieve data from VB6 and the computer, but I have a slight problem: I cannot seem to write what is necessary to send my data to the USB serial conversion device. I have tried send, write, open, and nothing seems to work.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to send an 8 bit data packet to the Serial Converter so my shift register can see the data and put it in the correct output line?

I am looking for some info to do some animation. Fairly simple stuff like dealing and flipping over playing cards, tumbling dice and such. I normally work with logic and data and do not know what would be the best approach to do a good looking animation like these. Does anyone know of some good sources on the net or even better some sample code to do this sort of thing or get me started.

I'm making this rubik's cube program, and I wanted to make a 3d animation of the cube doing the moves, and I figured the best option for that was using the XNA extension. However, doing that brings up a problem. I want to have lots of different options in the Mdi parent form that will interact with the moving 3d cube. The problem with this and using XNA is I can't use both the normal form and the XNA game in the same project. How would I go about having the 2 different projects interact? Just like a txt file or something?

I'm making a game where a rocket image follows the mouse on the Y axis.I want to have a kind of lagging effect on the rocket, so rather than the rocket being where the mouse is, I want it to follow it.I have tried using the sleep method but for some reason it doesn't work
Here is my code :
Private Sub Form1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseMove
Do While YPos <> e.Y 'if mouse position is different from rocket position, move it
If e.Y > YPos Then
YPos += 1
