I have a project which contains all custom controls and images; we'll call it projectBase.Now I have created a windows forms project (project1) that references projectBase. I need to access the embedded resource (images) of projectBase in project
View 2 RepliesHow do you change the cursor image to an image from the project resources?
The methods I have found either don't work or only change the image within the form, and reverts back to default when the mouse leaves the window.
I need to make an array of images using references to the resources folder. The following is my code which does not work:
Dim imgPictures(8) As Image
imgPictures(0) = Image.FromFile(My.Resources.cat_1.ToString)
How do I reference the images sitting in the resources folder for this task?

How do I protect dlls in my project from being referenced by other people?
View 1 RepliesI have created an application and a setup application for it.The application references Microsoft.mshtml.dll and another custom dll.The problem is that despite the fact that i added to the setup project the output of the application, these two dlls were not added in the setup project's "detected dependencies". Do i have to add them manually ? Do you know if Microsoft.mshtml.dll (C:Program FilesMicrosoft.NETPrimary Interop AssembliesMicrosoft.mshtml.dll)will work both on Windows XP and Windows Vista no matter what version of Internet Explorer is installed ?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to instantiate a c# class whose project is referenced within a vb.net project.By providing the following declaration/instantiation of the class, I hoped to be able to access the instantiated classes publicly declared byte array within a vb.net module.The compiler won't let me. I get the message Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated. It wants me to replace the reference to the instantiated class and public member frameData() with the general Class definition name. Why can't I access frameData through the instantiated variable rxFrame?
View 5 RepliesWhen I try to compile my VB.NET web project, I get an error that reads:[PropertyName] is not a member of '[Namespace.Class]'The class referenced is part of a dll that the project references. The property definitely exists in the referenced class, and its access modifier is Public. What's more, if I update the reference, or just remove it and add it back, the error goes away: the intellisense shows my property -- all is fine.. that is until I try to compile again. Then the error returns. I've even restarted Visual Studio to no avail. What is going on?[UPDATE]After Will's comment, I've changed the namespace to something I am absolutely sure is unique. Now, I am getting more compiler errors of the same genre. The compiler is not recognizing some of the overloads although they are right there in intellisense. Weird!

With a button click event, how do I make a picture box image property switch to a random image from the resources folder?
View 1 Repliesdraw an image on form using an image in resources within VS2008VB instead of using C:userspublicimages
View 1 RepliesI made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?
In a VB project I can add a resource via the project properties resources tab, or I can right-click the project in the solution explorer, click add, then click add existing item. What are the differences?If I want to add a DLL file and include it as an embedded resource, do I have to add the file via both methods? Only one?

View 7 RepliesHow do I access resources in a .Net Web Project. I created a web project and then in App_LocalResources folder added a resx file "AstroWap.resx". Now how do I access values from that. The property My.Resources itself is not available.
View 3 RepliesI actually don't care so much about the name of the project as I do the .exe it builds. So I went into the project properties, goto the Application tab and change the Assembly name. But when I build, it loses the resources I've included. It builds w/o errors, but the icon's and pictures I've included are not in the program, and then the IDE gives me errors telling me it can't find those files.
I do have those resources in the program, their persistence is set to "Embedded in .resx" and their Build Action is set to "Resource". They work fine in the designer and show properly, and they build and show fine w/o changing the Assembly name.
My app bundles a set of VBScripts (UTF8 text files) into a VB.NET assembly. I used to embed the script code into the classes as String members, but this is proving to be a poor design. I want to include them as resources instead. What's the best way to add resources to the CompilerParams?
What I've got so far (excluding all the error checks):
Dim comParams As New CompilerParameters()
comParams.OutputAssembly = DLL_Path
comParams.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll")
[Code]....
The CompilerParameters contain fields for EmbeddedResources and LinkedResources, but from the examples I found so far these seem to pertain only to framework resources???
i use Visual Basic 2008. is it possible to download a file directly to project resources, or to import file to resources on running vb 2008 application.

View 4 RepliesWith Visual Studio - 2008. I publish to my server. I have problem with the ClickOne, I cant find a way to include my DB connection and resources folder included in my project. It update correctly, but it does not include my resource folder a database connection. Maybe something with the rights to connect to the DB. Can can also see that every time I update my application, it make a new folder but it do not input my folders.
Any right way to do this:
Dim con As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & "Resources/" & "myDB.mdb")
This is my string to connect. And I have added "myDB.mdb" it to my resource folder in the project. I have followed this video: [URL]. What is the correct way to implement a DB connection to my project when I am using ClickOnes?

View 2 RepliesIf I have some resources added to a project, such as images or sounds, they are placed in Resources folder. Say I created a new image file with the same name and want to replace the one I added earlier.
Do I have to do this via Projects Properties Resources tab by removing the old one and adding the new one? Or can I simply copy and paste the new file in Windows Explorer into the Resources folder (replacing the old one)? Would it break the project? Does it matter if the project is currently open in Visual Studio?
I'm pretty sure this is something super easy, but how do i access a resource that is in a separate project using the expression syntax?I thought it would be like so:
<%$ Resources:SomeNamespace.Resources.Web, PleaseSelectAnImage %>
where SomeNamespace.Resources is the project that the resources are located in.
i normally just do <%= SomeNamespace.Resources.Web.PleaseSelectAnImage%> but i need to have this inside a control. <kw:SlickUpload ID="SlickUpload1" runat="server"
ValidExtensions=".png, .gif, .jpg"
InvalidExtensionMessage="<%$ Resources:SomeNamespace.Resources.Resources.Web, PleaseSelectAnImage %>" >
so when i just do what i normally do, it puts <%= SomeNamespace.Resources.Web.PleaseSelectAnImage%>" literally.my project name is SomeNamespace.Resources. the resource file name is Web. and the key is PleaseSelectAnImage.
How would I load a file in the WMP from the projects resources?

i want to add a image to resources...actually i am giving user facility to add his logo into the report..so i am giving him a picture box to select th image he wants to add..then my question is how can i ad that image to project resources proramatically without erasing previous resources..
Currently i have created another resx file to add logo in it.but there is a threat that user may delete that file if he gets the location of that file..so i wanted to add image into project resources itself..
How do I add a list of files (all images in .png format) stored in the project resources to a dropdown list and then return the user selected image into a picturebox (or store it for later use?). Part of the issue is that I only want to return the .png's, not any other files stored in the Resources.
View 1 RepliesIs there an easy way to edit the code below so that it copes (works the same) if the embedded resource is not a plain text file, but a compressed text file?

For Each strWord In tempList
enableFullList.Add(New Words(strWord))

I have seen System.IO.Compression but can't work out what to do, DeflateStream, GZipStream etc.
