I need to take an existing HTML file, which we want to use as a template, and insert another HTML, like an email signature, somewhere in the middle of it. Does .net have any classes that would make this possible?
View 1 RepliesI'm having a speed issue with some drawing in a program I am working on. I have narrowed down the speed issues to a single function. The cost of this function is such that I really need to find a way to make it faster, and that should be possible.
The function is this:
Public Shared Sub SuperImposeFishAni(ByVal bckGrnd As Drawing.Bitmap, ByVal dtop As Integer, ByVal dleft As Integer, ByVal dwidth As Integer, ByVal dheight As Integer, ByVal ImageInQuestion As FishImages)
Dim tp As Integer = 0
[code]....
This is actually a holdover from an earlier design that included animation, but that's probably irrelevant. What is happening here is that a bitmap (bckGrnd) is passed to the method along with the left, top, width, and height that are to be drawn, and a single variable to select which image to draw.The image to draw is chosen in the select statement, which makes up the bulk of the method. The guts of the issue are the last few lines.
Through profiling, I was able to determine that if this method is called, the drawing takes over .25 seconds, whereas if this method is not called the same exact drawing takes less than .07 seconds. Therefore, I am getting a significant slowdown from this one method, which surprises me, as it is pretty straightforward. It pretty much has to be this method, too, because I can perform the same actions with or without this method being called. It is called if a Boolean is True, which is about as fast a test as can be performed. If the Boolean is False, this method is not called. The >3x difference in timing is with or without this method.
The point behind the method is that the image from the select statement has to be superimposed onto the background image, and the size of the area, as well as the location, that it gets superimposed onto is almost totally arbitrary, which is why the size and location has to passed to the method.Technically, choosing the bitmap to merge in (the select statement), could be avoided, but I doubt that is the issue.
we are new to Visual Basic Programing, We are working on a project, which has modules. My team worked on these modules and prepared 3 separate Visual Studio Projects. Now, I want to combine then into one Visual Studio Project for Integration purposes

I have a parent MDI form and several MDI children. All have menustrips and toolstrips. The merging of the menustrips was no problem at all but I'm trying to do the same thing for the toolstrips, but now it's a no go. The toolstrips are staying separated. Is it possible to merge toolstrips?
View 1 RepliesThe only way I can think of to display this moustache is by creating a new form and locking it to a certain point, that all works.My problem is with all the events surrounding this. E.g. minimizing the actual application etc...I know how to handle those in code but that is painstaking as I have to think of every possible event which would result in a problem then manually code for the moustaches relative actions. So, I would like to know:

I Have a problem with trying to get a checkedlistbox to work the way i want it to... Here are the 3 tables that i'm using. The links are shown in colour.
[Code]...
I have a checkedlistbox in a windows form: A Name textbox is linked to The Name in the Usertable
1.The DisplayMember in the checkedlistbox in the Area (Text) from the AreaID Table. This bit Works.
[Code]...
2.The ValueMember need to be the AreaID from the UserAreaTable
I need to do it this way because it allows me to add multiple areas to users, and add new area's without having to change the forms.
When i'm clicking on a link in a page i've navigated to in my web browser it opens with Internet Explorer. How can i make it open in a new window with my webbrowser? I'm using a tab control inted of webbrowser control btw, you can post codes for both of them
View 1 RepliesI am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

View 2 RepliesI have a number of programs written in VB.NET 2010 that load and run on every computer I've tried them on. This week I replaced my mother board with an IBM mother board using a Pentium 4 running Windows XP Pro. I install the programs but as soon as they start to run, they immediately shut down. If I run them in Visual Studio 2010, they run fine.

In the past few weeks, to speed up our database freshening process, I've created a couple of extra programs, basically copies of the exe file. The program itself, accesses web pages, images etc and uses threads to do so. The second program uses LIMIT 300,100 and the third LIMIT 600,100, to make sure they don't work on the same records.
Before the last few weeks, one occurrence of the program used to run without problem, from the task scheduler all through the day. Only one occurrence of each exe can run at a time.Since theres now three programs running, .net 2.0, on xp, the program often seems to get stuck and never ends. I have to kill it from task manager.
It runs fine in the IDE I just wonder if there would be any benefit from upgrading to vb.net 2010 ?
How do you write config files for vb programs? Like .xml files, Seen some examples but didn't fully grasp them. Say I had a program that launched programs and I wanted it to save the:Program Name, Program Location, Program Site, etc..So I am guessing the xml would looking something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Path>
[code]....
how to load the settings from these configs. The reason I want to write it to an external config is because I plan to add an updating feature and I want the configs outside of the program.

View 2 RepliesI'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and it may be "no," but is it possible to create an install file in VB Express 2010 and have that file deploy additional .exe files?
I developed a windows form program that calls fortan routines (in seperate .exe files) for different purposes. I would like to create an install file that deploys not only my VB program, but all of the supporting code.
Is this possible with VB Express 2010? I tried to search for threads about this, but didn't find any that explicitily answered this question.
I started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
View 1 RepliesWhen you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
If we made programs in Visual Basic Express 2010 Trial are we allowed to keep the programs and distribute them freely on our sites and if we unistalled visual Basic can we keep the programs etc...
View 2 RepliesI've been programming in VB6 for years, I have decided to take the plunge into VB.net and C# 2010 but having a little problem understanding the big picture.In VB6 I could create user controls and save them as .ocx files, then use those .ocx's in other programs or on html pages. I am sure the same idea is present in VS 2010, I'm just not seeing it.Can anyone recommend a book or tutorial that will show me the big picture of all the aspects of the .net environment?

View 1 RepliesI wrote an application which converts .doc files into .pdf. Now I would like to add one more thing: before converting the .doc file, which is selected by the user, I would like to add the content of an other (default) .doc file, which will not be selected by the user but the directory where the file is will be already in the code, in front of the file selected by the user. So after the two files are merged I will have the merged file converted to PDF.
