VS2008 Container Sizes Changing In Different Language OS?
Nov 25, 2010
I am in the process of testing my application on different language versions of XP and Vista.I notice that some containers size differently in the chinese version of the OS. This is particularly noticeable with panels which always appear to be about 10% smaller in height. The width is ok, its just the height that is changing. I can overcome the problem by making sure that all controls within the container are placed towards the top but it then doesn't make the UI look as good when running under English versions of the OS.

Changing field sizes in database tables
I do it like this:
'First creating a temp table, temptabell, and copying data to it from table tabell
Dim strSql2 As String = "SELECT * INTO [" & temptabell & "] FROM [" & tabell & "]"
Dim dbCommand2 As New OleDbCommand(strSql2, cn)
[Code]....
This is working, this is how I did it in VB6, but I wonder, is there an easier way?
Would it be possible to change field sizes more directly?

have created a text editor, but I want to upgrade it with some serious functionality and userbility.
I have done most of the things that I had planned, but I have also come up with an idea that I am not too sure on how to code.
I have created a dialog box which opens when you click the options menu item in the menu stip control, I have customised this dialog box so the user can change display modes and so on but now I want to be able to change the language of the entire application as in from the default English (american) to French, German and so on.
When the user changes the language selection I want the text in the menu bar, the title of the app and the text of whatever is in the text box of the app.
I have created check boxes for the language selections, and invoked the check box click handle events but not sure how to proceed with the rest of the code.

I am using a System.Net.HttpWebRequest class to download source-codes from a website, in an ASP .NET application.
The problem is however, that the ASP .NET server hosting my application is located in the United States. This means that when the application downloads source-codes of a specific page, the page being downloaded thinks that it needs to send the United States version of the page itself.
I need that to be customizable.

I have a windows form I want to show in two languages. When the user clicks a language button it switches to the other language.
It works fine, when you click it all the labels change to the other language.
Only problem is labels inside a group box do not change.

In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

I have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.

I have written a VB .NET 2010 application which displays a "you have new mail" window/form with an OK button that closes the form.
Some users have received new PCs with dual-monitors and the OK button is no longer visible on the form - it's at the bottom but off-form.I guess that this is related to a different screen resolution and not the dual-monitor setup itself.how to make my forms auto-resize? I though this was automatic in VS 2010.

I have a slightly unusual application that is optimally designed by doing the following. We have an application that references a number of graphic sets for unique artwork utilization. The application is in HD and the graphic sets are a bit large about 20 megs per set. We have found that the optimal design for this particular application is to create a unique .Resources file per set, compile this .Resources file into a .Dll file using Assembly Linker (AL.exe) and reference the .Dll via the application and load the graphics upon demand or selection actually of this unique set within the application.
Question is this as I have been unable to find any data on this aspect.
Is there a limitation on the number and size of .Dlls that a VB .Net application can reference?
Specifically, we will likely have 20-25 unique graphic sets reesulting in 20-25 unique .Dll files of about 20 megs per .Dll. On our deployment boxes for the applications, we have 2 GIGs of RAM so no issue there.
Just curious if anyone knows if I am breathing down the neck of an inherit limitation within VB .Net 2010 by creating the above monster.

How do i center an image at all window sizes? My Window is borderless and maximized so its size obviously differentiates between resolutions. I'm having trouble centering an image directly in the middle of the screen and making it stay there regardless of the size of the window. Docking isn't working neither is anchoring and hoping there is an easier way around this?

I have a basic VB.net app that displays a picture box with some text. nothing special. looks fine on my computer. If I display it on someone else's computer with a larger font size (125%?) my picturebox and text looks off and stupid.
How do people account for this? Should I simply get the new font size and multiple all positions, lengths and widths of object by 1.25?
I'd obviously like my dialog to scale properly and look as expected in any display no matter what font size is selected.

I have less than good eyesight now as my age increases :) I have managed to make most text areas/dialogs etc suitable for my eyesight, but can't find any way to edit/alter the Toolbar Icons - I expected to fin (at least) a seting for 'large' icons, or a way to increase/decrease the sizes - but so far I haven't been successful.
I find the icons/toolbars to be poorly designed in that they are on a grey background which just serves to minimise their effect.

Is there a way to make the actual tabs different sizes? I just want the tabs themselves different sizes not the whole thing. Seems like the itemsize property does this but it will only allow you to set one size. I want each tab to be a different size depending on its text.

How should I handle image files of various sizes (<1 mb upto 15mb) within a mobile application that I am developing? Currently, I am displaying the image full size using a ASHX file inside of an ASP Win Form using the ASP Image Class. So basically what I would like to know how should I go about dealing with these sometimes vastly different image sizes. Would copying the image to be displayed and then scaling it on the server to whatever dimensions I decide and then displaying it in the browser be a better way of "handling" images especially in an mobile browser?
