How can you save a user input string to a resource? I want the user name that the user enters to be saved to a resource so that another form can use it. Or if using a module would work better, how would I do that?
View 3 RepliesI have just one form which is my project however there is a lot of different code behind it, can I add a class or module to it as another resource and call a script from there like I would in say
Private Sub button1_Click ... Handles Button1.Click
Call MyScriptToWorkThingsOutAndGetRemoteXMLWebPage
End Sub
How do I set button1.image to the image resource named in a string?
if my_string = "image1" then
button1.image = my.resources.image1
else if my_string = "image2" then
button1.image = "image2"
...
else if my_string = "image30" then
button1.image = "image30"
end if
Is there an easier way to do this?

View 2 RepliesI have a number of usercontrols that have the same combo boxes on which need to be built each time the form is opened. Instead of putting the code on each form, I have written a generic module which builds the combo box. At the moment, when the uc is loaded, a global variabl is set to the uc's name and the code for combo box in the module looks like this (it's not the complete module, just a snippet of the problem area):

I have created a resource directory loaded with 10 mp3 files in it and added it to the resources tab. The problem I am having is when the program is compiled and installed, it does not add the resource directory to the hard drive. I know that resources can be added into the applications files in the publish tab but cannot seem to figure out how to get it listed or added in there.I also took each mp3 and set the build action to Embedded Resource... That didnt help much though.The resource directory i want to include in the deployement is in my bin/debug/resources in the solution explorer.

I am very new to coding, though I can understand some of the rreeaallllyy basic stuff. However, I am currently developing a basic webbrowser and I'm stuck =.

View 1 RepliesI am using an email verification program I have downloaded to test the validity of a given email address.I have setup a class in VB using Visual Studio 2010 with the required code that runs the check.I have then registered this as a COM so I can call it through VBA in Excel.In an excel workbook I have then created a module that calls the VB class. The excel module tests whether the email address typed in cell "A1" is valid or not. At the moment the VB class simply gives me a messagebox output saying "Success" or "Fail" which works fine.What I actually want though is for the "success" or "Fail" message to appear in cell "A2" next to the email address as opposed to the current messagebox output.
