I have a page that allows users to "upload" a file. The page includes an asp.net fileUpload control. However, all it does is send the byte array to a WSE 2.0 web service. I can't change this. This may be updated in the future, but for now, this is what I have to go with.The page has an animated gif that starts when the user clicks the submit button. And the page should be updated accordingly based on the result returned by the web service call. I'm able to start the gif and consume the WS successfully. However, while the page is hitting the web service, the gif file freezes.
I then tried to use a separate thread to consume the web service. This speeds up the process and does not freeze the gif, but the page is not updated when the web service completes. If I put the main thread to sleep, the page updates, but I'm back to the same issue mentioned above, where the gif freezes. I'm pretty sure I could make the call using javascript and update the page that way, but at this point, I'd really rather do it server side (out of stubbornness if nothing else).
I was wondering if there is a library or code snippet available for .NET (or that I can translate to .NET) to display animated PNG files (on the Graphics object, or even in a custom control)?

View 1 RepliesCurrently the process is in VBS, however this means there is no real interface.I attempted to get this into HTA, but this doesn't work to well due to known issues - the interface doesn't update with information until the end of the code (functions) are executed.So I thought I would create a VB program to do the work.Ideally, I would have a form load, and once loaded the functions (which map drives accordingly) will display the results on the screen.My code should be pretty sound - it is working - but it seems to be invoking BEFORE the form is displayed.I have tried various subroutines, such as Form1_Load, Form1_Activate, Form1_Shown, but all of these execute the code before the form has loaded and is displayed on the screen.As a test, I have
Private Sub Form1_Shown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lbl_Head01.Text = "HELLO WORLD"

I've got an application (that is targetting .Net Framework 2.0) that is running on startup of the System, and I'm trying to get a NotifyIcon to display.When my program starts up when a user either Runs it normally or is started as a child process after the system has already logged on everything is fine.
If my application starts up as the system is performing an AutoLogon using POSReady2009 (basically XP with Single User set). Then the NotifyIcon never becomes active.If you subsequently check (in a timer) the .Visible of the Icon at any point later it always reports that it is visible = true.If you disable the SSDPSrv and restart the Computer, the Icon displays correctly.I have a sneaking suspicion this is related to .Net 3.5sp1 installed over the top of a .Net 2 system.Is there some process that I should be following to ensure that my NotifyIcon is always available to the user.I have setup RegisterWindowMessage("TaskbarCreated") but I don't get this message called, except when you forcilbly Kill Explorer.exe and restart it. Even so, a NotifyIcon interally registers for these notifications anyway, so it shouldn't be required.I'm happy to stall the startup of my program, but once the program starts up, I expect that the icon shows correctly.
I have alot of forms here who need 10 or more seconds to load when the method InitializeComponent() starts to run. It have a lot of pics for that is too slow to load. I need to do a loading screen to show while the initializeComponent() components is running.

So i'm basically looking for a way to send a pop-up message to tell the other dude to get his ass online,is there a way to display a message on a target pc's screen without a client application running and actively listening for an incoming command?

View 9 RepliesFirst part of a huge block will contain some text. That block is not always visible. it will be visible when the user is inputing a control. It is drawn in a bitmap image which will later be a part of the final image of the form.The second part consist of several small bitmap images most probably will contain a letter. These images will not change but there position will keep changing by time. These images will be free to move even beneath the huge block (If visible).I used a timer with 1 sec. interval to redraw form, but when the block is visible it keeps flickering because the timer clear the form and redraw the block.
I tried to use different container for the block like the PictureBox but when the small image goes beneath the block it just disappear.The block color code is "Color.FromArgb(100, Color.Black)" I tried lower Alpha components and that didn't make any difference.My explanation is that the background of the picturebox is not transparent. If I'm right how to make the picture box transparent?

What methods (if this is supported) Would I need to do to show it?
APNG means Animated PNG file.
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I've done a ton of searching but I can't find what I'm looking for. Right now my program gets a image file, converts the image to 4 colors (Black, Red, Yellow and Green), then converts each pixel to a number for that color.This works great, but now I'm trying to do this for an animated image, but I need to be able to loop through each frame, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access each frame of the image.
