Visual Basic ExtractAssociatedIcon Get 8-bit Instead Of 32-bit Icon?
Feb 13, 2010
I am using Visual Basic 2008. My form has a transparent background, and on it are several PictureBoxes. I'm trying to load icons into the PictureBoxes using ExtractAssociatedIcon.picIcon.Image = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(path).ToBitmap The problem is ExtractAssociatedIcon gets 32-bit icons, which contain the alpha channel (i.e. shadows), which don't display correctly on a transparent background because the form itself does not support the alpha channel. What happens is I get ugly-looking icons with the TransparencyKey showing through under the shadows.
Is this possible? It gives me an error, and I had previously thought it could work for folders and drives and stuff like that as well. Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:") did not work when I tried it, and threw an error. How can I get the associated icon from EVERYTHING? This is vb.net
Visual Basic NET. I have coded a programme which save the icon of a *.exe file into a picture, and now the question, how can I convert the picture to a real icon file?
Trying to use icons on my visual basic form but don't know how to place the icon and label so that they are linked and when the are clicked they get highlighted and stuff like the basic desktop icons.
I'm using resources in VB.NET(2008) to manage my files and have 3 icon files that need to be on 3 buttons on my form (clicking the button changes the icon of the form tot the pressed button)
ICO_1.ico ICO_2.ico ICO_3.ico
but when I try the code below i get the error that "Value of type system.drawing.icon cannot be converted to system.drawing.image" any idea what's wrong?

In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere.

I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version.

I have Visual Studio 2008 Professional and I'm trying to make it so I can click a button to send the application to the System Tray and then click the icon in the System Tray to make the application come back.

when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.
I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.

Here is how I come to know if I am solving my problem right? - But after clicking on the <Browse> menu I just get a short respond for 1 sec and nothing opens. seriously I searched google but could only find hundreds of year old post about general icon help and nothing to pin point 'my' issue. i think it might not have the right directory or something.. but idk how to fix it CAN YOU HELP ME SOLVE.
[Code]...
# okay to recap I am unable to select Browse option to change the icon with visual studio 2010.
