VS 2008 Pre-load Images From Web, To Display In Form?

Apr 21, 2010

I want to pre-load a number of images from the web, so that I can display them in a form, and scroll through them without delay. It can be a large number, but i only need to pre-load perhaps 20, and then remove/add in advance, as I scroll through. The images will typically be .GIF or .PNG, of quite small size, <50kb.

What "type" shall I use to store these images? And how do I make web requests to put the data into this type?I guess it will be more convenient to keep this as in-code list of some memorystream type (?) instead of saving them to disk and having to deal with file names and stuff..? Also, what type of control shall I use to display such images?And if a memorystream is indeed the best choice, how do I make this show in the picturebox?

VS 2010 Load Form But Don't Display It

Jun 12, 2012

I have an app where there's an edit form and it loads a bunch of stuff into comboboxes which takes half a minute to load the first time. Once it's loaded I keep the instance of the form and just hide it instead of disposing it until the app exits. What I would like to do is in the Sub Main of the app (there is no startup form) I would like to launch a new thread and load that form into memory, but I don't want the form to be displayed at that time, what's the best way to do this?

VS 2008 - Display Resized Images In DataGridView

Mar 21, 2011

I am using VS2008. I have a table in which the jpg images are stored. I can retrieve the images from the table and display it in datagridview. But many images are of different sizes. So the cell height of the datagridview changes according to the image size. Is it possible to give a fixed cell size for the image column and also shrink the image to that cell height.

VS 2008 Populating Cbobox On Form Load For A Child Form?

May 14, 2009

i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.

This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.

My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form

I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.

Here's my code.

vb.net
Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"

VS 2005 - Form Load - Retains The Previous Values During The Form Load

Jul 27, 2009

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Dim con As OleDbConnection
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand


[CODE]...............

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.

Load Images Using A Text File?

Oct 23, 2009

I have a very urgent project due for Monday and I am trying to implement a very simple Windows Application for viewing files.

One of the requirements is to store the history of images accessed and provide a navigation tool for those images logged into the history.

I have been successful in logging/saving the full system absolute path to a text file. Now it is to be able to navigate through the lines.

I figured I could do this by first counting up the amount of lines in the text file after a new image has been loaded to the display and added to the text file[history] and

Then using the count on the history file of total files to either decrease or increase the number as appropriate to load into the image file the previously written absolute file paths as the new images.

I am writing in Visual Basic using VB 2008 express edition and I can't seem to figure out how to count the lines in the text file and sub sequentially manipulate the line being read to display the image.

[2008] TONS - Set Of Default Images And Then The User Created Replacement Images

Feb 11, 2009

The 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...
