According to MSDN, the Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon method cannot accept a UNC pathname, which I think is totally absurd. Does anyone know of a work-around to extract the icon of a file on a network?
View 2 Replieshow to extract the various images from an icon file ie 256 x 256, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16 etc.
View 1 RepliesHere's the code that I use to extract the icon size that I want:
Dim i As Icon = My.Resources.Spectrum
Using i2 As New Icon(i, New Size(256, 256))
Me.PictureBox1.Image = i2.ToBitmap
End Using
This works from 16x16 up to 128x128 but for 256x256 it extracts the 128x128 icon. I tried 0x0, because I seem to remember that that is how the large size is stored in the meta data, but that didn't work either.
Dim iconloci As String = located
Dim iconindex As String = iconloci.LastIndexOf(" exename: ")
iconloci = iconloci.Remove(iconindex)
Dim theicon As Image

It works perfectly for files on the local system. But i need it to also grab icons from exe files in network locations(\\example-pc\example). Vb net just throws an error when trying....The error:QuoteValue of "\\examaple-pc\example-folder\example-file.exe" is not valid for 'filepath'.
I am using Visual Basic .Net 2005. While using /win32icon as a compiler option, it gives an error that the icon file can't be found. I found out that it works in C# but gives error in VB.
View 7 RepliesIve found plenty of examples of extracting an icon from a dll, but then those examples display the icon as an image, which is not what Im trying to do. Im trying to extract those icons dynamically into my program to set the application icon, and other icons for items on the menu bar. I have this little bit of code, but I keep getting various errors when I use it.
View 12 RepliesGot an annoying issue it's Visual Basic 2010 I changed icon where the assembly name.I got a good icon it has lots of sizes, or I tried diff sizes like 64x64 128x128 nothing seems to work I only see the icon when i do View > Details so it's small icons in the folder, but if i have view large icons It doesn't work.

View 1 RepliesIm 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?
View 8 RepliesI run a software development firm that develops application for Windows Vista or higher. Windows Vista has a new feature called large icons, that allows display of up to 256X256 icons.
However, if I make an image that contains this icon file, the image just assumes that it should use the 32X32 one in the ICO file, even if I scale the image up to like 500X500 (in that case, it just scales the 32X32 one up).
After scouring the forums for a code to extract icon from exe and convert to bitmap, i got that working, and the image will display on my form just fine. I want to save the image so it can be loaded again after the program is closed, but I get "Generic error in GDI+ occurred" when I attempt to save the bitmap.
Dim ExeIcon As Icon
Dim button1icon As Bitmap
ExeIcon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Filename)
button1icon = ExeIcon.ToBitmap()
Button1.BackgroundImage = button1icon
button1icon.Save("C:utton1icon.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
I am writing a program, and it worked just fine, then I changed the icon on the program and I get an error when I try to run the program. Attached is the window that I get when I debug the program.

View 6 RepliesI have various projects that use reflection to access and invoke private or internal members in some of the framework classes. These projects all work fine on my machine (running visual basic express 2008), but are they guaranteed to work on another machine, or, say, over a network? I've had a look at Reflection-Permission, but I'm not sure if I need that granting to me or if I grant it to my project!

I am writing an application that will cache all my files and then let me display files that I would like to display.

Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

I am really confused! My program doesn't work if I don't have Visual Studio here in my PC. To test it I have uninstalled Visual Studio. But my program doesn't work though Flash Player is present there (I have used Flash animation in the first form).
To be more sure about it I have installed Flash. But it's not working! That means the Flash animation file (.swf) is not making a problem! It needs support from Visual Studio to start. Doesn't it mean that some files are not attached with a setup file as a result it needs Visual Studio to run? Let me tell you how I create a setup file of my program.

I have a insanely large file that has a lot of customer data in XML format. The start of a customer and end are how I'll determine the starting and ending points of the customer data I need to extract. The is the number I'll be searching for. I'll input a regular text file with 12-byte document numbers into the file (Doc Number List.txt), search the massive XML file (example.xml) for those document numbers, find the data before and after the DOC_NUM tags, but within the CUSTOMER tags and extract it to a formated file. The formated file needs to have these tags, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
