I have been trying to learn vb.Net for about a year now, but with other work getting in the way, my progress forward is moving, but not as fast as I would like. So I am hung up on this issue which seems like it should be a no-brainer but it still does not make sense, and I can't find any clarification on it.
With the
With MyPen
.Color = Color.FromArgb(LineColorVALs(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2))
.Width = LineWeights(7, SearchIndex1, SearchIndex2)
End With
The array "LineWeights()" is declared as Integer and the values of the indexes are correct. This leads to an integer value of "1" coming out of the array and into MyPen.Width.
The ".Color" line executes OK, but I get the error, "Parameter is not valid." at the ".Width" line. I have tried declaring LineWeights as Short, too, but same problem.
Dim data As Byte() = DirectCast(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte()) Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(CType(sdr.Item("Image"), Byte())) PictureBox2.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
After reading many forums and trying the different examples, when I try and load my image from the database I get the "Parameter is not Valid" error.Im using VB 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and the data type is Image. I do not have access to the source code that is used to save the picture to the database, just access to tthe data in the db.The code I have included is the code I use to retrieve images from my db which stores the pictures as Image.
STEP1--image data is sending by a vehicle tracking unit.using a socket application i am tracing that data.the data from the vehicle tracking unit is not in a decimal format.image data coming from socket containing lot of special type of characters. so i am converting this image information to hex format using the code below.
Private Function Data_Asc_Hex(ByRef Data As String) As String On Error Resume Next 'first take each charcter using substring. 'then convert character into ascii. 'then convert ascii value into Hex Format Dim sValue As String Dim sHex As String = ""
I have made a program that lets you select an area of a picture and then crop it, I am having problems while drawing the rectangle that shows which area will be cropped, following is my code.
[CODE].............
This is declaration of all the variables that I am using.
[CODE].............
Over here I send the graphics handle of the "canvas" control (which is just a picturebox) to a higher level, so I can use it later.
[CODE].............
Over here I get the starting position for my rectangle
[CODE].............
This part is supposed to draw the rectangle, as I am moving the mouse over the Canvas control, but I get an error where the rectangle is being drawn, I originally thought that the problem might have been with the fact that as soon as I begin moving the mouse, the CropWidth and CropHeight variables are at zero, and that is causing the invalid input error. So I made it that it would not draw the rectangle until it reached a minimum size of 4 x 4 pixels but it still does not fix the error, I debugged to see if there was a problem with the values of the variables, but they all seemed fine, I even tries doing this CanvasGraphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, 20, 20, 20, 20) so as to eliminate the factor of the wrong values, but still the same error.
In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean Private Sub BDUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BDUpdate.Click If BDBarcodeSample.Text = "" Then MsgBox("Please enter a sample text", MsgBoxStyle.Information Or MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, ProgramTitle)
I am trying to run my program to test it. Actually I am trying to run second form to see it that its working properly or not. But it shows me error. First time I got this error message: "Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown" & second time I got this one "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Parameter is not valid." By the way my program has 25 forms.
have an OLE Object in my table, that may be jpg, doc, xml file.In case of jpg I'd like to show it (VS2005 Visual basic).I did next (not full code):Dim ms AsNew MemoryStream()Dimreader As OleDbDataReader = md.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess )reader.Read()retval = reader.GetBytes(0, 0, outbyte, 0, bufferSize)ms.Write(outbyte, 0, retval)ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)curImage = Image.FromStream(ms)----> error "Parameter is not valid."I do not see the fault
I am trying to write a small app that will read images from an database to an image list. It does the first one, but then after that i get a "Parameter is not valid." exception ... see code below.

I get this error from my application, but not in the development environment (VS 2008). I created an installer package and have installed it on two different XP machines with no problem. However, on a Vista system when the application runs code to generate an image I get a "Parameter is not valid" exception. I have no clue what could be causing this given the circumstances. To generate the image I am creating a bitmap with a valid size and simply creating the graphic. Since I can't repoduce the error in VS I don't have a way to troubleshoot this.

I am trying to pull data from an SQL Database and put it into some variables to use. The problem I am having is I have a date field called DateSubtmitted that is originally set to Null in the database. When I try to pull it into a vb.net variable called SubmittedDate As Date, it is giving me the following error:
Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
I thought that VB.Net data types could all hold the null value, but I guess not. I know this must be a beginner mistake, but how can I make the null value work. My code is below, the line that gives me the error is[code]...
