Creating Buttons Using A XML File?
Jan 27, 2009
Im working on my school project (which is a control centre for a LAN gaming club).What i want to be able to do, is read an XML file, which contains details about the games (name, description, path etc), and produce a button for each game in the XML file. These buttons should allow the game to be launched, be named using the games name, and show the description in a designated area
I'm already able to write the game information to an XML file in another form, but have no clue where to start when reading the XML and creating the buttons.

I am using MS Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2000 to develop an application. I wish to make a list of radio buttons when I fetch a particular column from a table. for example, I fire a query that returns to me 10 types of candies, (yummy!). I want to show these candies as options on the form. I want to use Radio Buttons. Now the number of candies are not fixed, it can be any number (less than 15-20). So I wish to dynamically create this 'Array of Radio Buttons' on the form.

I am trying to make an program that when it starts it will check an table in the database for what buttons it should add. It can be at the most 60 buttons presented on the screen, i am trying to get the datagridview to handle this. But my main problem is that the buttons get displayed in columns, i would like the buttons to appear like the attacment (more or less)

I am working on a project that requires me to read a table of items, and then display the items as button with a photo for a POS system. Any suggestions on how to implement this? This project is using .NET 3.5 and a SQL Compact 3.5 database as a data store.I am using windows forms over an MDI form.

i have created a list of buttons using the following
Dim Butt(20) As Button
Dim i As Integer = 0
While (i <= 20)
Butt(i) = New Button
Me.Controls.Add(Butt(i))
i = i + 1
End While
this means that buttons are created in the code and not on the form to begin with, so I don't know how to create an event for the click of a button in a list. Is it possible to do it with a parameter for i so that there is only 1event for all buttons in the list, and i is the button index array clicked?

I am creating an interface with several textboxes and HTML component and several buttons.But when I drag any textbox onto the existing form they line up vertically one under the another or they attach directly together on the same row. I want to be able to drag and drop and place these as well as the HTML component wherever I need on the form. In VB6 I simply selected what I needed and placed it with ease. Can someone tell me what I need to do gain this simple freedom in vb.net

I have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?

I have this code.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NPB As Button
Dim x As Integer
[code]....
As you can see, when I open a program from my menu, a new button will be created with text similar to this, "C:Program ". The button it self will not do anything. How can I create the method at the same time the button it is for is created? Also how can I change the text do that it gives me, for example, CCleaner.exe instead of the whole target path?

What I would like to do is to have four different buttons (e.g., buttonA, buttonB, buttonC and button D). I wanna give the following instruction to the people: press these buttons in the following order: first buttonA, then buttonB, then buttonC and last buttonD. If they obey this instruction then a picture will be displayed, for instance a happy face. All the other combinations will not activate this picture to be displayed, or in other words, there won't be any consequence. I would also like to save this data using windows note pad e.g., writeline (1, xxxxxx). Is there any chance I will make it?

The treeview system I am using is by Andy Bonner from the following Link, as advised I have created a new post.[url]...
Andy you were asking what it is I am trying to do so I will try explain it a little better. The treeview system you have created allows me to import / edit and save XML files based on the treeview structure that I create. What I now want to do is use the same XML files to populate buttons on a form.
So for example if I have 10 buttons on a form then on load it will look at the xml file and change the text of the buttons to whatever the main level of the treeview is.[code]...

That works fine except i need the location of the chm help file to point to "my.resources" where it exists because i need to install my program but in that code example it only works with strings?

I created an application that when a user logs onto their Windows account, a Form is displayed outlining the current Computer Usage policy set by the insitution and gives the user two options either Agree or Dis-Agree. The two options are in the form of buttons, with events that depending on what the user clicked, will create a log text file at a specified location, with enteries of Date,Time,CurrentUser, and if they agreed or disagreed. If they agreed the application after creating/amending the file will then terminate, otherwise it will update the file and then force Windows to logoff the current user.
Now I made a shortcut of the .exe of the application and placed it in the startup for all users, and yes the application loads at startup for all the users following the procedures mentioned above. The problem I am facing is, that if the current user logs off, or is forced to log off, and another user logs onto Windows, goes through the whole ordeal mentioned above, the application is denied access to the logfile that was created under the previous user, and thus crashes.
So my question is, how can I created a text file using vb 2008 application, that is accessible by multiple Windows users. I have even tried changing the location of the created file to the shared folder, but the end result is the same.

I am making a custom file explorer, and I am trying to make back and forward buttons, all I need to happen is when you hit back, it returns the last directory you were in, when you hit forward it returns the directories you were in before hitting back, and when entering a new directory, it erases all of the Forward data. I am not sure how to accomplish this

I am new to programming. I wrote this simple code but it seemed not working at run time. I mean not selecting particular file extensions when I am selecting the particular radio buttons. By default each radio button is set to false on Checked property. Also there is no syntax error.

I've encountered problems with programming a Guitar Hero game (Frets on Fire) because I just started visual basic, but I know a lot still. I am almost done with button pressing and picking and I can easily get the buttons to scroll, but is there a way to program the buttons that scroll along the screen by using a midi file, like in Frets on Fire. I just don't know how I can get the frets (buttons) to correspond with the song without spending hours programming one song by hand.

I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.

I am making just a simple program that will create backup dummies of all the files in a specified folder. All I have is 2 text boxes, A and B, and a button to do the magic. What I want is for the user to input into Text Box A the location of all the files, and in Text Box B place in the destination folder, then when the button is pressed it will get the name of each file using a loop and recreate a new file with the same name and extension in the destination folder.For example:
C:FolderX has 10 files in it, each with the same extension (.wav), each file is ranging from 10mb to 100mb (this size is irrelevant)
C:FolderY is empty
What I want to do is create each file from X into Y, however the files are all 0 bytes (no data inside them). I've managed to get a simple script that will do what I need but only if I specify the file name:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Filename As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName(TextBox1.Text + "test.wav")
Dim SaveP As New System.IO.StreamWriter(TextBox2.Text + Filename)
SaveP.Close()
MsgBox("Files Created")
But what I need is someone to show me how to create a loop that will do this for each file in the folder, without me specifying each filename.

I have a vb.net web app, and I need to give my users the facility to download a ms-word .doc file. This file needs to be created dynamically, and should contain some bold text and a table.
I've come across this code, which builds a .doc file, and lets you download it:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileName As String = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc"
[Code]....
...but I don't know how to make the text bold, or create a table. I'm sure there's a better way.
