I recently purchased a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic installed and installed my Visual Basic 2008 Express and Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step and have run into at least 2 different problems I know of. One is I can not view the videos from my Bob Tabor subscription and two I do not see the fonts the Step by Step book refers me to access in some of the practices.

I'm looking to see if anyone has a good reference for a third-party add-in that will allow me to play .mp4 video files inside my program without a need to embed a web browser in my program.
I have no problem buying it (well that depends on the cost of course!), but I want that when I distribute it, I include their .dll files and it'll work on the user's computer without anything else needed.

If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached() Then
strVidFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(Application.StartupPath & "....

View 3 RepliesI've been whining for several months about the way Windows 7 prevents application exceptions from actually occurring, and arbitrarily assigns "compatibility settings" without actually detailing what those settings are, even during Visual Studio Debugging operations. Am I just completely ignorant to some setting I can toggle to turn all that garbage off and make Win7 act like an operating system that wasn't designed for a 2 year old? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario,

View 1 RepliesI need a skeleton starter code for Database-Entityframwork-WPF app.Are the HDI videos of 2008 up to date regarding the VB code strategy? ie do I use context? should I use a view to move the records along?Do you basically write the LINQs the same as 2008, but leave off the "_" line continuation char? Is the data source the entityModel rather than the Database?(I realize the entityModel is generated from the Database.Also had errors trying to generate the Database from the Model. However, was able to generate the Model from the database. I looked at the examples supplied w VB 2010 re EF, but didn't note an example that would apply. Also, had difficulty in running examples.

View 1 RepliesUsing the mciSendString command I am able to play avi, mpeg, mp3, etc. but I am unable to play mp4.

View 3 RepliesI have written an application that lets me track work crews as they move from one job site to another. It runs on my local computer as a windows form. The form displays labels with the job site and crew names on them. The application is written using VB.net 2003. What I would like to do is see what is displayed on that form from another computer in a different office. Is there a way that I can use a web page to display what is on the windows form?
View 3 RepliesI have a program I am trying to create in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and have a few questions as to whether what I would like the program to do is even possible - Here is the idea of my program:
I have a main form with a ComboBox1, Pic1, ImageList1, and Label1 - In my ComboBox I have 118 entries, and 118 corresponding Images in the ImageList control - Right now I have it set to show the Image from the ImageList when a ComboBox1 entry is clicked, by the Index number:
If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
Pic1.Image = ImageList1.Images(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)
Else
Pic1.Image = Nothing
End If
What I want to know is, Can I make it so I can add/update entries in the ComboBox1 and ImageList1 at runtime? Such as, have an 'Open' dialog to import the Image I want to add, and a simple InputBox to add to the Combo1 list? Also, if this IS possible, if I add Items at runtime, won't it mess up my Indexes, and then the correct Images from the ImageList1 won't be the ones that show?
I know, lot of questions, but I am trying to cleanse my mind of VB6, and focus on .NET - More complicated, but I like the appearance of the finished programs much better, without stupid additional OCX's
