I have been updating from VB6 to Visual Basic 2008.
My program builds and runs during development. I can run it from the in directory where it is created by default. If I move the executable to another location it and try to run it I get the message "... has stopped working" "Windows is checking for a solution to this problem".
i want to make my vb application compatibale with all resolution.
i new in this field.i hav emade my form on 1068x768 resolution.
I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.
View 5 Repliesi am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it. Right now it is placing the grid at point (0,0) no matter what point is entered on the line for location. so what am i missing??????

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy a picture from one location and paste it into another location however VB throws out the following error
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0046 (CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED)
both locations are on my local computer. So not sure what is causing the problem.
Here's the code
Module CPASU_SPC
Sub Main()
Console.Title = "MOARW Programs"
[Code]....
Try to understand:
1. User Downloads Application
2. User copies files to either desktop or my documents (lets say desktop)
3. User Opens application
4. User clicks the copy button (which is then supported by the COPY code)
The problem is that the copy code supports a Location such as; FileCopy C:UsersAdminFile.txt, E:File.txt
When the user copies the Files to desktop (lets say DIM), they have a different username so if they click Copy the copy code was set for C:UsersAdmin not DIM. I would like the code to be general so whoever copies the files wherever (Desktop, C:, Documents) and they click the copy button, the file is then copied to the Disignated Location.
In one of my apps I'm using MDI childs so the user only has one screen. There's only one MDI child open at any time, it is maximized and all control option (controlbox, minimize and maximize buttons) are turned off, so to the user it seems there is one program with one screen.In the parentform I'm using devexpress' RibbonBar for the menu.
When I open a new child, the uppermost part of the childform (about 15px) is not shown, it's put under the Ribbonbar. If I resize the parentform however, the childform ofcourse changes dimensions as well because it is maximized and this somehow causes it to shows like it's supposed to.Is there any way to invoke this behaviour programmatically so the location of the child form is correct from the beginning?
I'm trying to set the location of an image but its coming up with an error so if anyone can help me that would be great, .

I am a grade 11 student in high school and am struggling with a project in my computer programing class. in the project we are to create a mario game, where you have 2 pictureboxes (the player and the enemy) one picturebox, the player, is moved using the keypad, the goomba isn't moved at all. the object of the game is to 'kill' as many goombas as quick as possible. I need to make the game so that if the boundries of the player intersect witht he boundries of the goomba, the goomba will move to a random location.
I can't get the goomba to move to a random location, here is my code. I highlited and bolded the part of the code that I am having the prolem with.

Dim intCounter As Integer

View 1 Repliesthe My.Settings data is saved in the AppDataLocal folder for a user based on company.Then, inside the company folder there will be a folder for any applications published by that company, which contain the user.config file for that program.
C:Documents and SettingsRobert BurkeLocal SettingsApplication DataSerysoftSysPad.exe_Url_qr40iotmbi1lvvl4b5lecnfpoqogr5uw
The thing is, the folder for each program has a string of random alphanumeric characters at the end. I noticed that on both my XP and Win7 machine, the string is the same. What I am wanting to do is save the user.config file, but the only way to do this, seemingly, would be to hardcode that folder into the path to get the user.config file from.
how that string is generated, and what may possibly cause it to change in other releases even though, so far, it has stayed the same for several of my releases. I don't want to release a version one day and the string change and then it break my program.
I have a Midi form with controls I always want to be displayed even when child forms are open. I can position the location of the child forms when the project is first opened with no issues. The problem I have is if more than 3 child forms are open and I enter the middle form one of the others is no longer visible. Me.LayoutMdi(MdiLayout.Cascade) will reorder all the forms but it starts at location(0,0). Have tried the other options available with midilayout and they all do the same thing
View 6 RepliesI want to have a small control follow the selected tree node. However, I cannot find a way to get the location of the selected node (in relation to the tree control itselfI know I could use the mouse pointer location, but I wanted the control to 'snap' to near the selected node by using its exact visible location.
