I have made an application with a client, server and listener. The server is a console app and the other two are Windows Forms Applications.
Basically i am using a Network Stream to send messages from the client which go through the network to the server which bounces them to the listener which then reads the message and tells the app what to do. (For example if i sent "shutdown", the listener would read it and then execute "shell(shutdown -s)".
The messages are sent like the following SendMessage("shutdown") but when i use a screen capturing API and send from the listener to the client like so SendMessage(background) i get the following error:

What I am trying to do is
Create 300width and 200height white bitmap Draw and center image that was uploaded into center
My problem is I am unable to save the created image. Is this a conversion issue? I've highlighted code where I think I am failing at.
I am searching for some code to help me take the bitmap contents of picturebox1 and convert it into an icon (*.ico) to save. I cannot for the life of me find anything to accomplish this. There are all sorts of codes that do things like convert bitmap files to icon files but nothing to change the contents of a picturebox as an icon.
I have an application which take image from a folder through system, Io.filestream and convert it into bytes and store into database as byte data format and same I retrive from database as byte format and convert it into image into datagirdview. now I want to convert it into again bytes from datagridview. How to possible the value of image in datagridview into byte format.
I have a SQLite database which is running on a handheld which is capturing signatures using OpenNetCF's Smart Device Framework 2.1 running under Windows Mobile 6.1. The signatures are captured from the Signature control using the GetSignatureEx method and stored in the database.
What I want to do now is reconstitute the signatures on the desktop, but the desktop does not have a similar control. I looked at the data and it looks like a bunch of vectors, which explains why the data is so compact.
how I can convert the data into a bitmap on the desktop using VB.NET.
I use following codes to to convert string to date. In messagebox it displays correct date with format but in textbox it displays only #12:00:00 AM #. How to send date to textbox1 from variable mydate.
Dim mydate As Date Dim dateString = "31/12/2009" Dim formats As String() = {"dd/MM/yyyy", "dd/MM/yyyy"} Dim dateObject As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact(dateString, formats, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, Globalization.DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault) MessageBox.Show(dateObject.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")) Me.TextBox1.Text = mydate
[code]There are 5 matches every time. I have another function that needs to use each match but as a string, not an array. I usually just use the .ToString but it is not working.
I need to count the number of files in a specific folder. The folder I need is in the directory path of ApplicationData. The only method I could think of to grab the path, is to combine it via a string, like this: vb.net
I'm calling a Windows API that gives me a byte array which represents a unicode string - the problem is that if I call Text.Encoding.ASCII.Get String on it I just get the first letter of the string. The reason for this is that byte array has an empty byte between each character. I've verified that removing these empty bytes resolves the problem by just using a simple For loop to add the bytes that do have a value in into a new byte array, then calling Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString on that and that gives me the full string I'm expecting.I'm just wondering if there is any easier way of getting the working string though without having to do a loop and create a new byte array etc?
I'm trying to delete the 2 last characters of a string if they are "||". This is my Dim MyReader As Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser MyReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFieldParser(playlist) Dim TextFields As String() = MyReader.ReadFields() Dim last As String = TextFields.Last If last.Substring(last - 2) = "||" Then last.Remove(last - 2) End If But it gave me the following error on the highlighted line: "The converting from the string to the type Double is not valid."
I have a string of bytes which I am reading from a microcontroller via a serial port which is as follows : 02 10 18 14 CB 73 43 D3 14 00 0D 00 09 00 1B 00 04 B8 3C 00 00 24 00 30 AB
I would like to write some code to place each the bytes into an array with each element of the array consisting of one byte each.
when saving the "conversion failed when converting datetime from character string" is displayed.
Private Sub BtnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnSave.Click Try Dim cn As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString) cn.Open()
My goal is to find the fastest way to convert a bitmap in a one-dimensional string array, where black pixels have to be converted in "X" characters and every other pixel in blank characters.My present attempt is to use a code like:
[code]...
But the Cpu usage is excessive, and the elaboration time too (I have to convert one Image by second).Can someone suggest a much more fast method, maybe using some Api??
I've been trying to figure this out for hours now, and I've given up on trying to solve it myself. Basically what I need to do, is convert a "double octet" binary string, such as "11010011 01011101", into a byte or char type if possible.I use the following code to convert my Unicode text into binary:
Private Function ByteToStr(ByVal bt() As Byte) As String Dim st As New StringBuilder For Each byt As Byte In bt
[code]....
But that gives me weird results. The "Convert.FromBase64String" obviously isn't what I'm after. Any help would be great. If I can convert the "binary string" into a bytes or chars I can get it into a string.
I'm using Bitmap to show picture box like slideshow using Timer. For each timer interval, I've to go for new instance of Bitmap, there System memory increases to 1MB, How to resolve this, 'BG is picture box
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tic Dim img As Bitmap

how can i create a monochrome bitmap from a semi transparent bitmap in vb.net? the bmp is for a transparency mask image for an icon i'm trying to create with the CreateIconIndirect API function.
i'm using vb2008 .Net3.5, but i would prefer an answer that would also work in vb2005
I have a grass image located here in my directory. I want to just create a Bitmap, but I am getting an error. (Parameter is not valid.) Immediate Window: A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll
I was wondering if it is possible to get a bitmap from a gfx... I am painting straight to a panel in the paint method I DO NOT want to have to paint to a bitmap then return that bitmap then paint this bitmap on the panel - as this is a lot slower I am doing this as i need to obtain a bitmap sometimes (if the user has requested it) 1/2 way through a draw eg the user says i want the picture after it has drawn the 3rd curve (just explaining why I want to do it this way)
i am converting a string to double?i would like to know in advanced whether it would case an error to convert a string to a double. for example if i try to convert "hello" to a double, it would give me an error. is there a way for me to know ahead of time whether converting something will cause an error?
I have made calculator in visual basic that can calculate the costs of products. You first select the type of product. Then you insert the dimensions. After that it calculates de costs. The type op products are stored in a Access database. In this database is stored a formula as a string. The problem is that i can't caculate the selected string with the formula and the given dimensions.
I am trying to convert a string of binary into hex. I have tried several ways and none have worked. This is my latest try. The code runs but doesn't appear to do anything.
