VS 2008 Proper Use Of Resources For A Class?
Jun 8, 2010
I am not sure of the proper, or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources. I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.

I want to display some text for a user - blocks of text about "vendors" - that can be scrolled.
I might want the first vendor to be a different color - or be bold.
I might want certain fields in the "text blurb" about each vendor to be bold - or underlined - or a different color.
In VB6 I would have used a RTB - would that still be the solution??

I took a look at System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 class about using a checksum for a UDP program i am making.Basically i want to use it, to ensure the server is receiving what the client sends it, in a way that the server can make note of it receiving properly without having the client keep track of how many proper payloads the server received. The reason i need a checksum is because the client is sending a random hex payload, so i cant have the server predict what it should receive the same way as i have it working with the sequence number.I dont fully understand how i could implement this to my code. I believe i should make a public property in my packet class, but im having trouble implementing it with the way i coded my program. [code]

I have a thread running on my application that checks a database every so often to decide whether or not to update nodes in a treeview.
Each treeview node represents a document and I have an open button that opens the document for the user.
When the document is opened, I wanted to suspend the thread that refreshes the node list until the document is closed.
I have MyThread.Suspend and MyThread.Resume. But the document viewer is on another thread.
I created functions for suspending/resuming the thread in the application. I have delegates in the viewer to call those functions from another thread. But I'm still getting an Error. "Thread is not user-suspended. Cannot be resumed" or something of the like.
But I realize that Suspend and resume are obsolete functions, so what class or objects should I be looking into and if it didn't take up too much of your time, a small example as well?

I'm making a console game that shows some data:
#: Item Name Item Slot Cost Item Price
in that order. The thing I want to do is to make it come out in nice even columns...but I can't seem to make it do that. It comes it out in nasty uneven rows that don't look attractive...
Basically, here's what it looks like now:
1. Sword Slots: 2 Price: $40
2. W. Stick Slots: 4 Price: $1
I want to get each column to line up nicely with the other (since I control the size name).

Using Excel Automation classes I am seeking to save an Excel file as a delimited text file. The examples given in the MSDN library refer to versions older than Express 2008 with (apparently) different syntax options for FileFormat.Based on the snippet shown, I get a COM exception error (800A03EC). Other variations produce the same error.
Am I improperly applying the Automation features?

I'm getting a collection of processes, adding them to a ListView, and deleting them from it when needed. All of this is done in a timer. The problem, is that after a while, the app freezes. I think this is because I'm not disposing any variables.
Here's my
VB.NET
Private _processes As New List(Of String)()
Dim killedProcs As New List(Of String)(_processes)
Dim processes As Process() = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses()
For Each proc As Process In processes
[Code] ....
I tried disposing of my process list, but the IDE wouldn't let me. That's the only thing I thought would need disposing since it is what hold all of the processes.

I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.

Ok, here's my problem. I already understand referencing a image using My.Resources.(Image name), But this won't work for my current situation, because the image name is in a string so I can't Hard-Code it into the program. IE. The file name is found by doing the statement:Filename = "_" + poke + "_"
Where poke is as string that contains the name of the file. The normal way to call this would be to use My.Resources._(contents of poke)_ but that doesn't work since i can't just inject the contents of poke into the line without making the entire thing a string, and by making it a string that command doesn't work normally.
I just can't seem to find a guide anywhere that talks about this, and I've been stuck on this for quite some time now. I've been able to reference XML's that are included the same way as the images using My.Resources.Resourcemanager.Geobject but this doesn't seem to work for the Images, and I haven't found any other way.

I have the 'resources' folder in my project and it contains a text file called dictionary.txt, which i refer to in my code as My.Resources.dictionary.Split(New String() {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)This works perfectly.
I then added a second text file called definition.txt, but when i refer to My.Resources.definition.Split(New String() {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)This gives me an error 'Definition is not a a member of 'Resources'
