Here is some

Pretty self-explanatory question. I'm trying to see if I can do sprite animation in Visual Basic and, while I can use a Graphics object to translate a bitmap down a few pixels, I have absolutely no idea how to erase the bitmap drawn in its former position. Is there any way to erase the old image before the new image is drawn onto the form?

I'm trying to use a ToolTip directly to a Bitmap Object (System.Drawing.Bitmap), aparently I can't do this because Bitmap isnt a Windows Control.
View 1 RepliesI need serious advice here please. I use Visual Basic Graphics Programming by Rod Stephens as a reference, and I have visited his site vb-helper.com to try some of his tutorials. I tried the scribble application and it's working out fine (you can download the snippet from his site).
What I have trouble with is zooming in. I am not sure where to start. I would like to zoom in to x2, x3 and etc. of the bitmap I am working on and I would like to be able to continue to edit the bitmap. This would mean that I have a larger pixel brush under the mouse cursor, to lay down pixels. So a x2 zoom would mean a 2 x 2 pixel.
Has someone done this. Do you have a reference I can use for this. This kind of editing is standard in almost every paint package. Even Microsoft Paint, but there is not too much basic information on how it fits together in code for vb .net. So I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. As I said, I am using the scribble application as a base, so here is the link. [URL]..
I know that you can pass a Point array to the DrawImage method of the Graphics object to apply rotation, skewing and flipping, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate the rotation. So far I've got:
Dim radius As Integer = Math.Sqrt((rect.Width / 2) ^ 2 + (rect.Height / 2) ^ 2)
Dim dX As Integer = RadToDeg(Math.Cos(DegToRad(angle))) * radius
Dim dY As Integer = RadToDeg(Math.Tan(DegToRad(angle))) * dX
Dim new_upper_left_corner As New Point(rect.X + (rect.Width 2) - dX, rect.Y + (rect.Height 2) - dY)
This is all just off the top of my head so far, I'm not sure if it's right. How do I calculate the other points on the rectangle, and is there a built-in VB.NET method that's much easier? (Apart from Graphics.RotateTransform, which is slow and also rotates around 0,0.)
I have an object that is defined as a global variable based on custom class. Within that class I have an event that gets fired a certain intervals. These events are fired on the same thread as where the object is declared. How do I create a global object, but have the events within that object fire on a separate thread?

I am developing an IT Asset Tracking application using VB 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express edition. Will I need to create classes to represent objects such as Computers, Printers, Scanners/Faxes, Contracts, Purchase Orders etc or are there any other approaches.For example, if I am correct, I will have a class called Computer and its properties will include Make,Model,CPU,Hard Disk,Memory etc. Is this the right approach.
Computers can be split up into Desktop PC's, Servers and Notebooks. Would I have to create separate classes for these as well or would they be ok under the Computer class.Once I create an object from the class, how can I use the object to interact with the SQL db.I am a beginner to VB.NET 2005 therefore I am slowly getting to grips with OOP.
I've created a new bitmap object and am shading some pixels inside it black using the setpixel function. At the end I do:
myBlankBitmap.Save("D:3Didea_out.bmp")
Great. Except the bitmap that is saved is 32bit and won't open properly. I want it to be 8 bit. I can't find any options to change the bitdepth.
i mostly use C and assembly, but i thought i would give VB.NET a shot. i used to use VB6 all the time, so wanted to see how different this is. in VB2010, i'm trying to modify the pixels of a Bitmap object and then make it show up in a PictureBox on the form. i get no errors, but this code does not show the new bitmap after it runs.."disp" is the name of the PictureBox on the form.[code]

I am somewhat new to object oriented programming and am attempting to flatten a Linq object hierarchy by using a shim class.how to initalize a derived class with property values from a base class?I have two objects, a base object with about 100 properties, and a derived object which inherits from the base object and adds a few additional properties beyond those of the base object. My simple constructor creates the derived object, but I am looking for a way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object.Right now I am using reflection to iterate over the properties individually and I suspect there may be a better way. The following example shows my shim class constructor for the derived class, and two properties:
newProperty1 - a new string property of the derived class
flattenedProperty2 - a new string property of the derived class, copied from a 2nd-level object of the base class
Code example:
Public Class derivedObj
Inherits baseObj
Private _newProperty1 As String[code].......
Is this the correct constructor approach to flatten the object hierarchy using a shim class? My second question relates to initialization of properties in the derived class. The constructor above creates the derived object, but what is the best way to initialize the derived object properties with values from the base object? The following code uses reflection to iterate over the properties individually, but I suspect there may be a better way.
Code example:
' property names are in the string array fieldNames
'baseObjQuery is an ienumerable of baseObj
'derivedObjList is a list of derivedObj[code].....
Is there a simple way to initialize values for the properties in the derived object based upon the values of the common properties in the base object?

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with this. It's a new setting I just added and it's empty, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Anyone know what's going on and what needs to be done to get it to accept a value and not want to be "initialized"?
I have recently gotten my hands on a free, open-source IMAP connection API.So far, I have been successful in creating a connection to one of my accounts.Where I'm getting stuck is retrieving folders and/or emails from those folders.Does there happen to be anyone here that is familiar with this API, or even Gmail (particularly the folder structure for IMAP)?
If not, here is a link to the DLL that is listed on sourceforge and the company's website that created it (if you feel like testing):
Koolwired
Sourceforge - Koolwired API
I have created a test account so feel free to use the code below without worrying about username/password issues; I'll just delete it when I'm done with it.Here is the code I have made so far for making a connection:
Dim gSession As New Koolwired.Imap.ImapConnect("imap.gmail.com", 993, True)
Dim gAuthenticate As New Koolwired.Imap.ImapAuthenticate(gSession, "imap_test@serysoft.com", "imap_test")

When I run that code, I get an error that states:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not sent to an instance of an object. (The bold line in the above code).
Now, I'm not sure exactly what that means. Does that mean it tried to access the server and "INBOX" doesn't exist so it gets returned a NULL value? Or is it possibly the coding itself?Maybe the Gmail folder system is weird due to the fact they use labels (even though from what I have read online, the labels act as the folders in the IMAP system).
What is the problem in below code.
d Public Sub filltextbox(ByVal dlist As String) Dim tb As TextBox = CType(Page.FindControl(dlist), TextBox) tb.Text = "hello" End Sub

If there is data it work well but if no record found it through the error.
