In my current project I added a couple of .jpg-images in the project explorer and their build-action to "Resource". My question is: How do I "call" one, according its name and show it in a picturebox?

View 3 RepliesI have about 100 PNG images stored in a Resource. Sometimes I need to have the same images in an ImageList, but I do not want to store the images twice in my application, so I add the images from the Resource to the ImageList during runtime when I need them.
Is there an easier way to do this than having 100 lines of code, like the small example below?
imgItems.Images.Add("A", My.Resources.A)
imgItems.Images.Add("B", My.Resources.B)
imgItems.Images.Add("C", My.Resources.C)
imgItems.Images.Add("D", My.Resources.D)

I'm trying to make a Blackjack game in VB. What I'd like to do is populate an array with each of the cards so that I can randomly generate integers and use those integers to pull an index from the array, basically randomly selecting a card. My problem is that I can't seem to get the images in the resources folder to go into the array. I'd like to use a For/Next loop to populate the array, as I would rather not manually assign all 52 cards to the array. I'm trying to do it like this:
Dim CardArray(51) As Image
Dim LoopIndexInteger As Integer
For LoopIndexInteger = 0 To 51
CardArray(LoopIndexInteger) = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject(LoopIndexInteger)

I want to call Crystal Report Viewer from my resources instead of having the following fixed path
reportPathName = "C:UsersVanavahDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsSMS_API_CLICKATELLSMS_API_CLICKATELLCustomerCrystalReport.rpt"
I tried this reportPathName = "My.Resources.CustomerCrystalReport.rpt" But it just came up with a blank view. It only works with a fixed path and this presents a problem when I put in on another machine.

View 4 RepliesThe app i am working on is for creating theme for the iPod touch... It has to deal with LOTS of images (100's potentially) There will be the set of default images, and then the user created replacement images. I started loading all the defaults into a resx file... thinking then I could just pull them out. now that I started setting the default, this sucks! lol the app will do this, on load it will set all the images (variables) to the resx images then when a theme is loaded, it will replace the default with the user image (if the user img exists) otherwise, the default stays. Then the "screen" is drawn to show the user. so, here is just the images to build the wallpaper, dock, and status bar...

View 6 RepliesI wonder if you can help. I have an intranet with about 2000 photos on it. A lot of these photos were not compressed when uploaded so can be upwards of 4 or 5MB in size.
Is there a script/tool I can run to go through the directory one image by one and automatically and compress each images to say 100k or percentage of the current file size, then save and close the file with the same name?
I have a main form (frmPos) and through a module (modTransaction) I open and close several other forms. This works flawlessly.

I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:

View 2 RepliesI don't completely understand the embedded resource. Here's what I'm trying to do.I've added a PDF to the application Resources using "Add Resource." It appears to add the resource as a BYTE (I'm assuming some type of binary file). I want to simply display this PDF in a PDF component I've added to the application.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AxAcroPDF1.src = My.Resources.aamaspoker End Sub This is not working because .src is expecting a "string" but the resource PDF is a BYTE. So what obvious thing am I missing here about using PDFs as resources?
