Is there an easy way to add more than the default icon to a project, giving the user a choice when Create Shortcut/Change Icon is used?I can find nothing recent on this anywhere.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to embed 3 icons into a VB .NET exe. After searching for a number of hours, I ended up using this page as a guide. I made a .res file with my icons. But I cannot, for the life of me, find how to to import that .res file into my project using the IDE. The above mentioned guide mentions something about that, but no "Resources" group box is available in the Application tab of the properties Page of the project.
After more searching, it seems that the only way a .res file can be imported is by using the /win32resource compiler switch. I can use that switch only if I use the command line to compile my project. Is there any way I can add that extra compiler switch in the IDE, so that every time I compile, the .res file is automatically imported? I'm using VB in VS 2008.
How do i get multiple icons in a project for use with shortcuts OUTSIDE the project..
View 7 RepliesMy project will be a collection of 3 projects that have similar GUI's and call on common assemblies. I want my project to contain 3 executable files when published that will load one of the designated smaller projects. Each of the smaller projects is designed to perform a different task, yet they are all similar in terms of looks and how the user interacts with the program. The best way to picture it would be MS Office. All the office programs (excel, word etc..) are part of the same package, and look similar but they perform different tasks. You can load any of these programs by opening the relevant .exe file, which is exactly what i want to do with my application.

View 3 RepliesI have completed my VB code and decided to publish it(make program an installable program). However, I want to rename my project so that when I publish it, the program will be the name I want. Now, my project is named as "Trial" when I first started. Now I want to change to "Monitor" due to some reasons. So it means having to renames all the files in that project as "Monitor" instead of "Trial".
View 6 RepliesI'm very new at using Visual Studio (about 3 days!). I want to create a project that I created into an executable file. The help menu states that I should go under the 'File' drop down menu and select 'Make' to convert into an .exe format. However, the 'Make' selection is not present under the 'File' drop down menu. How can I make a project into an executable file??
View 9 RepliesI would like to add a choice of icons to the desktop shortcut I add in setup/deployment. I can add one icon, but when I run the project there is no option for changing it. The "change icon" button is greyed out. I've made a dll containing 3 icons and added it to the setup/deployment project (also added it to the test project).

View 9 RepliesI have to prepare about 125 or 150 Loading Slips for various Mines to move carting to our various Factory daily into Windows Form of ERP System.
Just like here: Date:18-12-2011, Requirement No.001/11-12, Mines No.OP-128, In Charge Name: Karsanji Plot=0,Satta=0,Dump=6, Transporter:Ghanshyam Roadlines Destination:Madhapar Here Some Button to generate/modify records: Add,Edit,Save,Delete,Previous,Next,etc If I distribute 15 trucks for Ghanshyam Roadlines to move carting from OP-128 to Madhapar then I will have to entry 15 times into Windows Form of ERP System for creation loading slips numbers from 1 to 15. Here all my data to input 15 times into ERP is same, so why is it not possible to create multiple reports with single entry form?
Context: I'm working with a relatively simple winforms application, written in VB.NET on the .NET 3.5 framework in Visual Studio 2010. Issue: The FormLoad event creates two threads when the program is opened. One handles automatic update checking and the other performs a time consuming task syncing files with the internet. These threads are initialized as follows:

Why is it that when my form loads, I have multiple Icons for the notify Icon although I only want one? How do I fix this?

View 1 RepliesI've always had to use a program that does this stuff for me, but I'd like to just make my own program that does this. I've already got the individual bitmap images of the 3 sizes (16x16, 32x32 and 48x48) for the icon file and I usually find use some shareware program to create the icon file from the multiple bitmap images for me but I'm wondering if it's possible in .Net to create an icon file (*.ico) that contains multiple physical icons in it.
View 12 RepliesI'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?
View 7 RepliesI have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

View 1 RepliesA colleague has written a useful tool. He wrote it as a standalone tool, but it works even better as an includable dll, though it needs a bit of other functionality for it to be a really good drop-in component. What I am wondering is whether a project can be compiled as both an exe and as a dll?
There are alternatives, such as having a dll version and an exe version, since the dll version needs to include a few different methods that the exe version doesn't need, but this alternative sucks, since it would mean changing two sets of code.
Another alternative is to build the dll, then change the exe to be a project that references the dll....and does nothing other than calling one method in the dll. That kind of sucks, too, but not as bad.
I want to be able to use his module in some of my programs, and it really should be built as a component rather than a standalone app, but I want to know whether there are other options that I haven't considered.
I would like to make a image in the form representing the icon and a label below it to represent name but is there a easy way to do this.
View 2 RepliesI Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.
