I'm wondering if it would be relatively not so hard to add some algorithms in my code to shrink the size of images?So say I told my program to add all of My Pictures to it, can I shrink it somehow?WinRar does a nice job, how complex is it lol?What exactly is the process of shrinking the images, I don't quite understand it, (or shrinking anything, music, videos, text)
What can I use to make my 40mb .NET app 10mb or less? I tryed netz compressor but that only takes it down to 30mb not to mention the EXE doesn't work after that. Its compiled in .NET Framwork 4.0.
How to load file and save it as different filename? It saves almost twice the original size for some reason?

Question 02:How to load it as numerical values?
Question 03:How to try applying an array of mathematical functions to the numerical values to see if size reduction is possible: I want to try testing all mathematical functions with any and all mathematical values of smaller size to see if the file can be compressed.
I have been practicing, and have created an extremely simple image converter.I want to include some vector formats. The formats that I want to include, but aren't in System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat
are .ai .cdr .dxf

How would I go about writing the code, to where they would work? Is there a way to make them recognized?
I've created a label that changes text when I click a button. I also want an image to appear under the label after the button is clicked. I added the image with an image control(not sure if this is correct) and I want it invisible until the button is clicked. What Code Behind should I use for th ebutton.
I have made picture viewer in VB which also shows all the pics present in a folder as thumbnails using image list and listbox. The problem is whenever the user clicks refresh it takes long time for the image to load. I want to some how make a cache like thing where i can store the image for faster access in the future.
I need to make an array of images using references to the resources folder. The following is my code which does not work: Dim imgPictures(8) As Image imgPictures(0) = Image.FromFile(My.Resources.cat_1.ToString) How do I reference the images sitting in the resources folder for this task?
I just want to ask or I need some idea on how to convert wav files to mp3 and compressed the file to make the size smaller. I've search on the internet and find vorbis.dll as a reference object and lame.exe for converter. With regards to the audio compression, i downloaded monkey's audio software but doesnt have an idea on how to incorporate it.
Im making image uploader that connects to my ftp and send them in to public_html.This is the

I am using vb.net by the way. From what I understand, Xna is not usable in visual Basic. Therefore, in order to create my characters, I defined a sprite class. Now my question is.... (I am drawing everything using a timer on the form btw by the process of invalidation.)... how do I use time to cycle through the images in an image array while the instance has no focus, and whilst the class inherits the "Control" class? Basically, how do i get these instances to act without user input? I want a character to eventually respond to user input, but I also need npcs that do not need any input in order to move themselves. Also, I need this in such a way that each instance's processes do NOT interfere with the processes of others. So that whatever timing I use does not also stall the whole window/form.
I'd like to verify if an image control has an image loaded . If it does , I want to unload that image (and load no image) , but if the image control has no image loaded , I want to load an image . Is it possible ?
If ImageMY.Image.Equals(Nothing) Then ImageMY.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:ImageBlaBlaBla.jpg") Else
Im making a simple image editor and I added Zooming and Drawing with mouse position like a pencil. My problem is When I zoom the image and try to draw on it, everything becomes offset and the lines i drew are not even close to the mouse. Here is My code ( Just add a button1 and Picturebox1 with an image)
Public Class Form1 Dim pen1 As Pen Dim x1, y1, x2, y2 As Integer Dim gr As Graphics
In VB6 you could BITBLT things around before refreshing the screen. In .NET, I'm aware of DrawImage, but that can only be done on a paint event rather than before anything gets painted. The issue I have is, I need to open several files with image data in them and then build a bigger image with those smaller images. Before I could open them, BITBLT them to a Buffer. As far as I can tell .NET offers no way to do this as the only function I've been able to find (DrawImage) only works within the paint event. Is there still a way to do this in VS08 or no?
Ive been programming in VB6 for years, i figured its time for an upgrade. Here's what im doing, and what the problem is:
Im loading a bunch of pictures on top of one image. They are all PNG files, and some of the images have transparent edges, and some semi-transparency within the image itself.
So basically, i need to be able to load these images on top of the other images, and still maintain the transparency.
Is this possible in VB08? This is one of the main reasons i moved to 08 from vb6, more things possible including multithreading.
I'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]
I need to know how to use listview, I'm having trouble using it.What are listviews uses?What can be listed in listview?What cannot be listview?If an image is in listview, will it display a thumbnail of the image?

I am trying to edit an image. I can open the image with Picturebox1.load(mypicture)
I can change the pixels/edit the picture by Dim img as new bitmap(picturebox1.image)
[Code]...
now here is the weird part. When I save the image the filesize INCREASES..but the picture dimensions are the same Example... TEST.PNG 1.3KB, when opened up via picturebox/saved the image is now 2.3KB
not sure why...i even though I specify system.drawing.imaging.imageformat.PNG
samething with JPG... it actually SHRINKS it evenmore.. example 88KB jpeg.. saved as jpeg is now 47.7KB...
I am trying to read a 16bit binary file (tif image) and pixel values of the image ranges from 1200 to 4500. I tried to use BinaryReader using ReadUInt16 but I get EndOfStreamException Unhandled error. ReadByte method works fine with an 8bit tif file. I do not know how to read a 16bit image file using binaryReader. Shouldn't I use ReadUInt16 since values of pixels range from 1200 to 4500?
I have to write a program that allows users to specify two numbers and then adds, subtracts or multiplies them when the user clicks on the appropriate button. The out put should give the aritmatic performed and the result. I inserted an attachment on what it should look like also Public Sub btnCompute_Click() Handles btnCompute.Click " here at this one I am getting an error message Error 1 Statement is not valid in a namespace. C:\Users\Tiffney\Desktop\School projects\WindowsApplication1\Form1.vb 1 1 WindowsApplication1"
I am having some trouble with patching a file in Visual Basic 2008. The idea is like that.
1- Store File In The Program Using "Resources".
2- If The Program Is Runned. My Program Should Show This Message "Please Close The Program" Or Making My Program Close The Program That I want To Patch.
3- If The Program That I want to patch is closed. Then When you click the button. the file dialogue opened and give to user the ability to choose the file that i want to modify "Replace or patched" after that the file will copied from resource and replaced the old file "Patched" after when this operation finished.
4- show this message "Your Program Is Patched. Enjoy", and the resources file should be crypted Waiting The Solution.
I want to create an app that is constantly running and as part of my desktop toolbar. When I mouse over the icon, I want the list to show in front of all other windows on the screan. I, also, want it to fade away once the mouse leaves the icon.If the icon is clicked, the window displays.
I want to be able to click-and-hold the title bar to move it around when the window is displayed. I want the full display of the window to be a check box list with each line being ~25 characters long. At the top of the window, there should always be an open line on top of the list where I can enter a new "task," and hitting the "ENTER" key will save the line and move it down one line, as well as the entire list underneath
The action of ENTERing a new "task" should spawn a new open line at the top of the checkbox where the user can enter a new task. When a box (located to the left in front of each line of text) is checked for a line, that line will disappear."Checking" a box should move every line underneath of the Checked (and thus deleted) line up one line. There should be a "close" or "minimize" (depending on how you keep in to the task bar) button the hide the app when I'm through using it.
