We use Global Resources like Resources.ResourceFile.Resourceproperty and this works like a charm. The problem is that we have got some statusses in a database. We have to make a column for each language but we don't want to do that. Are there any other solutions to this problem, as you know? We don't like any third party controls.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make sure that I don't leave any loose ends open in my application and am concerned about a few but might get my answer from this one. I've "overriden" some functions so that way I can try and keep all the resources as clean and free as possible. So in this instance, I have a function called ExecuteReader which returns a DbDataReader as normal, but all I had to pass to it was a SQL string rather than recreating a DbCommand every time. I want to make sure that even though I'm unable to call dbCommand.Dispose() that it is actually doing so.
[code...]
In here, I set the _dbReader to what I'd get from the function and eventually I close the _dbReader. I do not close the connection as I don't open it each time I make a query. This is a SQLite database that only one user will be using at a time (small application with very very very little likeliness it will grow) so I didn't think it necessary to close and open the connection all the time. Maybe I'm wrong, not sure. Using it this way though, it is potentially ok for cleaning resources?
I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

I've been working with VB for some time using my.resources.I recently installed it on a new computer(Windows 7 ),everything works fine...well almost.
I'm trying to teach my cousin how to change images in an image box using a button.I did it on my computer and it worked,but it wont work on his.Exact same code and images.
Here is what I did:
After having everything set-up I import the 2 images I want to use.
Then inside the click event for the button I write picturebox1.image = my.resources.picture1 "and here is where it doesn't work.It says I don't have any images in my resources named that.Instead it gives me two options Culture and ResourceManager but it doesn't show any of the images I previously imported.
*picture1 is the name of my image
I have no problem with the code(it works),I don't get why it's not seeing the imported images on my cousin's computer.
I need to be able to run a .exe within the resources i have a .exe i built a while back in vb6 and i need to be able to run it from resources so in the final installation build it would run properly on every computer that it installs on.

View 4 RepliesI am a beginning programmer and having a problem with picture boxes and resources which I want to use on the opening screen/form of a program. I have 4 arrays, each with 25 pictures(JPG); I want 4 pictures to appear on the form and to scroll through them using the form load event or a button. The problem however is I get build errors when I have more than 6 pictures in each array. the pictures load if there are 6 or less; more and it's a problem. I have considered some sort of corrupted picture but have changed pictures and get the same result.Is there a limit to the amount of memory that can be committed to resources?

I'm using VB.Net 2008 .NET 3.0.I am not sure of the proper,or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources.I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.
I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.I'm not currently concerned with internationalization, but it wouldn't hurt to understand how that would affect what I'm trying to do.
I have a dll which I call for compression. What I would like to do is reference this at runtime from my embedded resources instead of having the file somewhere on disk.
