I am trying to create a simple countdown timer using vb 2005 express edition. I think the code is fairly simple but I have fallen at the first hurdle. How do you display the result, i.e. which control do you use? Tried label and textbox but both return the error: "Value of type [integer or long] cannot be converted to [textbox or label].

I am trying to make a VB User Interface with Visual Basic Express Edition 2005 where clients can do the following calculation: Stranding x Bare Copper CMA = Total CMA
I have created an access 2007 database called Total_CMA, this database has 2 columns, one with the SIZE and the other AREA, but in this database the Size = Area ( was not sure how to set that up properly ) so I left it at 2 columns and then went to VB and set up with a listbox for the Size and have bound the database to this listbox, and when I debug it, the numbers for Size show up in the listbox, so thats looking good so far, since the size = area when I bound it it asked to get and I picked Size then it asked value equals so I picked Area and hope that was the proper thing to do.
I added a TEXTBOX named STRANDS for the customer to input the number of strands, then a button to click to calculate total CMA and another Textbox named TOTAL to display the results. All have labels next to them naming what they are.
My question is, how do I get what the customer selects in the listbox to multiply by the STRANDS textbox and output in the TOTAL textbox when clicked on the button to calculate total CMA. I also need to make sure whatever SIZE they picked in the listbox is going to take the AREA number ( not the SIZE number ) and multiply it by the STRANDS textbox.
How can I download the Visual Basic 2005 (not 2008) Express Edition? The links on the VB 2005 page do not download that edition, but rather the 2008 edition. My son wants that edition to use the Facebook API on the VB Express website. The API only works with VB 2005. If VB 2005 Express is no longer available, then how about removing the mention of a FaceBook api download or give some serious instructions on how to use it with VB 2008.

View 1 RepliesWe use VB to create an HMI for an industrial environment. Currently, the computer we use has VB2005 Express Edition installed. When the application is developed, we take the Release folder which contains 7 files and place in on the computer with a shortcut to the executable.My boss stumbled upon another integrator that has a single executable. They apparently can stick this executable on any computer and it will run. He says that the "visual basic runtime" is included in the executable and it "just runs".I know just enough about VB to do what I need to do and am not overly familiar with all the inner workings. I seem to recall VB5 & 6 having a single executable as long as the runtime was installed already.Does VB2005 have the capability of a single executable?

i am creating a quiz which would be 20 questions for software design students and may use alot of code.my first problem is the score for the test, i know a friend of mine can add up the score but he cant move onto the next thread until you have got the question correct which is sort of cheating, i want to know how you create a variable and make that variable stay in all the forms and add up the score of correct and incorrect answers and come up with a final score for the user in the end.
View 8 RepliesI have three sets of labels, lbl_seconds, lbl_minutes and lbl_hours. These labels have the default value of 00:00 and I want the timer to change that for each label. I have googled this but I cannot seem to find any good info on it. Do I need three separate timers? I have also noticed that the timers have their own tick event handler. I guess it's in this that I need to change the value of the label. But I cannot figure out how to do just that.

View 8 RepliesI have already created a web browser, clock and alarm clock iIm having trouble creating a 24 hour countdown timer (to midnight).
View 6 RepliesI'm using Visual Basic 2010 and I'm trying to make a countdown timer and after I close the program the time which is counted to be saved. For example if I make a countdown timer to count 24 hours and I close the program at like 23:58:48 and then I start it again I want to continue the coutdown at the time it stops or to continue during the close time.Here is the code that i use:
Code:
Private alarmTime As Date
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.alarmTime = Date.Now.AddMinutes(1440)
[code]....
So with this code i can save the label text but when i try to make it run from it after the close it turns to somekind of a code and it countdown 50 min and the difference in the input time change it very slightly.
I am trying to display a countdown from a timer.
Dim r As New Random()
Timer1.Interval = r.Next(60000, 300000)
Timer1.Enabled = True
'Display countdown in 'Label2'
Also, I have a long mess of code (follow my signature) that compiles a sentence and displays it in a label. It works fine until I add the loop around the whole thing. Then it does nothing at all.~~the code is not finished. I have a lot of filters to put in place.
