VS 2010 Using A PNG Resource As Form ICON?
Feb 11, 2009
I have a good batch of PNGs in my resources (with alpha transparencies) that I use on various controls in my program. However, I would like to be able to use some of those same images as form icons.How can I convert the PNGs into a usable format so they can be assigned to the forms icon on the fly?*_users is the name of the png in this example*I thought this would work, but it doesntMe.Icon = CType(My.Resources._users, System.Drawing.Icon)and also this does not workMe.Icon = My.Resources._users

I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load()
Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico")
Me.Icon = ico
End Sub

I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.

Im in a win.form app. in .Net 2008 I have a lot of Icons that I want to display on a (TouchScreen enviroment) button The icons are in 8,16; 32 bit in the sizes 16X16 ; 32X32 ; 48X48
The buttons are large enough, they have a dimension of 252X132.The images are loaded via the Button propertie : Image. This has allso a size propertie, but is disabled. And I can see its loading the 32X32 32bpp format But I want the 48X48 size on there. Does some 1 knows how to get those sizes op the button.
I know its possible via a imagelist but why have a resource if you cant use it??

I have one program with many, many forms in it and the same program is used for two companies. Basically, when a user starts the program the data location is set depending on which of the two companies is being used. Therefore, I am trying to dynamically set the icon for each form based upon which company is being used. I didn't want to add code on every form to set the icon, which is mostly what I found when I was searching for a solution.

Im trying to make the an icon for the form work with my own icon, because all programs have their own(like ie hat the e and paint.net has their logo), but whenever I put in my icon phote(and it is saved as .Ico) it comes up with the error: Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as an icon. I have the same measurments as the defult one(32 by 32) so what am i doing wrong?

I want to create a Resource-Only DLL so that I can use it in conjunction with desktop.ini files.All of the information I've seen so far, however, has been with C++ libraries. The steps outline in that URL don't seem too difficult, but I would rather create it in VB since I'm a lot more familiar with it.
With that being said, does anyone know what I need to do in order to do this with VB? The C++ instructions don't carry over well.I've been looking at DropBox because they do what I'm looking for. Except instead of using another library, they use the DropBox executable and set the IconDex appropriately. That would be ideal of course, but I can't find a reference point for the IconIndex, for starters.

I have a text file that has thousands upon thousands of URL's in it. I wrote a program to go to each of these links in succession (via For loops, obviously) and to grab a piece of information from them.Now to the problem. When I get to about 2300 or so, I get the error "COMException was unhandled by user code. The requested resource is in use. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700AA)" at the line "WebBrowser1.navigate(linkstocheck(i))"
I set linkstocheck = all lines of the text file. I get the same error even when I get the link directly from the lines of the text file. Does anyone know how I might go around this? Maybe catch the exception, wait half a second, then continue where it got the error?

Lets say I have a multi ligual application where I have 3 resources files for each form
1.Form4.fr.resx
2.Form4.fil.resx
3.Form4.resx
I have saved some strings in each file , can i read the resource from code where I can specify the file want. Lets say I want to read the .fr file only and when the user chooses another language I choose the other - I am saving not the controsl text, I am saving msgs.

I have developed a form in Visual Basic and I need to export the form definition to another language that supports forms but does not have a form builder. From there I will change object names so that they match this other language.
I seem to remember in Visual Basic a number of years ago forms have a .rcs file that you can open with a text editor and view information about the form and all the controls on it. For example the form name and dimensions are listed. Also included is information about controls such as control name, width, height, and so on.
In my current version of Visual Studio I see a .resx file that has a header followed by a lot of binary information.
Is there any way to view the information as I've described it?

I've added multi-language support to my application by setting the Localizable property of each form to True and changing the Language property to the desired one. Then I change the Culture.
vb.net System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
VB automatically creates the resource files and this works all fine, but now I need to do something similar for Strings and MessageBoxes, e.g. MessageBox.Show(My.Resources.Exit). Everywhere I read that I need two resource files in order to do this, but I can't find where to add a second resource file myself.
Every forum post or google search result I found says, go to 'Project -> Add Resource', but I don't have the "Add Resource" menu option. Or they say, right click on your solution and go to 'Add -> Resource (RESX)', but I don't have a "Resource (RESX)" menu option either. When I go to 'Project -> Add New Item', there's no 'resource' option in the list either. Am I blind or does VB2010 Express not have an option to add resource files manually?

I am using the code ol' Formless posted in this thread:[URL]..To load an animated cursor from a file. The code makes use of an API method that requires that the file actually exist. That's possible, but far from ideal. I would rather add the cursors to the resources of that module. Therefore,

I need to get a path from a resource file...
im planning to do a midi player; I've tried it via the included .NET and DirectX component, both needs a path to the audio file (String)....
how do I get a path from a resource file?
ps.: there's also a way to play via a stream-link/stream-player, where
my.resource.<filename> is enough, as this declares the directstream.... but I really need to get a path.

method to export a resource (an .accdb file) at runtime ?I've had success in exporting image files by using :-

Unfortunately this method dosen't enable the export of the file type I need. For various reasons the file must be exported at runtime?

As I'm working with some image files for my project, where should I store it ?I mean, they will be displayed frequently to the user. What I do currently is store in the app directory and when needed, I use:
vb.net
PictureBox1.Image=New Bitmap(Application.StartupPath & "ImageName.png"
For some background images, I used to set it at design time. That is, selecting the image needed using the Image property and never changes it at runtime.So, what will be best place to store it efficiently.

I'm creating a form, but this form will be fully generated by code in a non-design fashion at run time. So i'm using the designer to create the form, but I will be copying out all the fields and the initializecomponents into my internal form class that will be loaded and run at run-time. This means, that I cannot have a "MyForm.Resx" file to retain images for buttons and such. But, granted that this form will exist within the entirety of my ClassLibrary Project, I figured I would load these images into the My.Resources for the class library. (I"ve set them to embed them in the Resx file, which helps to import the ICO as a Bitmap).
now, here is the resource.designer.vb
Namespace My.Resources
'''<summary>
'''A strongly-typed resource class, for looking up localized strings, etc.
'''</summary>

In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.

First off if this isn't the right section, please let me know where to post or move this thread.After an hour or more of googling this specific error message I received prior to testing my program, I attempted to change my GDI max to 25000, as suggested by most of the topics I found. This has failed to solve the issue.
Basically anytime I attempt to run my program, I end up with this error "Unable to embed ... Not enough storage availavble". Or someting to that effect.
