Moving And "killing" Objects?
Apr 16, 2011
I'm attempting to make a very simple game where the player clicks a button, a label is spawned, travels across the screen, and the player tries to "shoot" the label by clicking on it. So far, I can make the labels spawn and move, but whenever I spawn a new label, the previous one stops moving. Also, I can't figure out how to remove an object from the form by clicking on it. Here is my current code:

Edit: I'm currently expanding the game to include more enemies and features.

I have the mission to make a small game for a school project. Pictures boxes, moved by a timer for walking enemies.If there are around 5 or 6 moving picture boxes at the form, my application get troubles and lags.After I kill some enemies (remove them from the Controls Collection of the Form/Panel) It come back smooth.I think the loop of the enemy movement is too complicated but I don't know how to make that simpler.

I have a program where if a label box touches a picture box then the game ends. What I want to be able to do is have it so that various pictureboxes appear all along the bottom of the forum then move to the top. I know how to get the pictureboxes moving and I am somewhat familiar to random scripts the only thing I am not sure how to do is create the picture boxes just along the bottom of the forum.

I'm designing a new application, but have two big problems.I wanna put an image in my form, and have the possibility to drag them.For example, I put an image with 100*100 but my imageviewe ronly have 50*50 So, I wanna drag the image around the imageviewer.
How can I do this?The other problem is:In the image I wanna design some squares, with the possibility to drag them to.Drag the squares it's working fine.But, the problem is, when drag the image, I wanna the squares "follow" the imagem and keep thei position in the image.If it was confuse, I try upload an explanation image.

I need to get pictures of objects that move on conveyor band while they are passing by the hires camera. I know that algorithm sould check alpha channels to understand when object (medicine box) is roughly at the middle of frame and then get picture. but the problem is while object moves this algorithm must only get one photo and before one object leaves the scene, other object can appear at the other side of frame. so that makes everything complex. more basically I should get every medicine box's picture while they are on the move.

In re-engineering a windows forms application, I find that a lot of code-behind in the various form classes is duplicative and I'm trying to centralize as many procedures as possible into a base class which can be inherited and used by the subclassed forms.
This process seems to be going well and is making the code in my subclasses much simpler and hopefully easier to maintain, but I'm not sure where to draw the line between leaving code in the subclasses and engineering for generic resusability and moving it to the base class.
Specifically, in some subclasses I have code which manipulates variables and objects specific to the subclass, and although I could move the code-behind into the base class, the base class code references specific objects which are needed to compile. For example, each subclass manipulates a databound datagridview and form detail controls which allows the user to select between multi-record and detailed single-record views of a datatable.
In Visual Basic 2008 do I need to declare dummy data objects in the base class so that the base class will compile? Or is there a way to indicate that the data objects will be provided by the subclass?

I am creating an updater for my program that runs in a separate process. I need it to be able to close the program it's updating before running the new setup, but I do not want to use Process.Kill() because that could cause data loss. How can I safely close another application, as if the user had clicked the "X"?

In my program I have a thread in the background that runs an infinite while loop. If I want to terminate the thread, I break the while loop, and the thread runs to a stop. However, if close the form without stopping the thread, it just keeps running. I tried both aborting the thread and exiting the while loop in the closing form method, but without succes.

I want to check whether a process running in remote computer or not and if it is running, kill it.I am using following code but, it gives error "Couldn't connect to remote machine". Do I need to do any security settings in the remote pc where I am connecting?
For Each myObj As Process In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses("192.168.0.138")
If myObj.ProcessName.Equals("HomeAlarm System.exe") Then
myObj.Kill()

I am trying to kill the duplicate fields in a DataGridView. I have it alphabetize all the items in the DGV and then compare each item down the DGV as long as it is either equal to or alphabetically lower than the next item in the DGV.Here is the code I'm using:
Do While X < data.Rows.Count - 1
' Compare 2 items next to eachother
compareResult = String.Compare(data.Item(0, X).Value, data.Item(0, Y).Value, True)
' Update the status
[Code]...
As I run it through more largely populated DGVs (200k items), I run into an InvalidOperationException saying that rowIndex=190000 (just some high number) is an invalid value for rowIndex.The error seems to appear more or less randomly.When tested on DGVs with 20k items, it seems to complete fine (though it may just be luck and the error isn't popping up).

I want to be able to disable Alt+F4 and the X button. I was able to do that, but it disabled Close() too. I want my app to be able to terminate its own process. How would I do that?

I am developing an application which launch an external windows app, ei called APL.exe Also, this APL.exe launch two console utils, ie. named CON1.exe and CON2.exe I would like to know if is there any way, after APL.exe has died, of killing CON1.exe and CON2.exe, because there is a small possibility that they will not died completly after APL.exe has exited.Also there is another requirement. My final app version could be executed twice in the same machine, so there could be two instances of CON1.exe and CON2.exe, and because this I need a way to kill them not by process name, but knowing which of them has been launched by my current application instance.

When starting my application, I have a couple of classes which are required to read certain files in order to create a set of default data. The logical place (to me) to do this is in a Shared class constructor; the idea would be to throw a class-level event if the reading of the defaults file fails. Unfortunately, this does not work as attempting to access such an event, in order to attach a handler to it, fires the class constructor before the event has been attached. In a failing case, the constructor starts, fires the fail event, the constructor completes, and then the event handler is attached, after the event has fired.
The only other solution I can think of is to give the class a "typeInitialisedSuccessfully" boolean property and put a try/catch block around every call to construct an instance of the class, which seems unnecessarily kludgey to me. Can someone suggest a more elegant solution?
EDIT: Because this is a fundamental Class, used in one form or another across nearly all of our software tools, I would greatly prefer a solution that will notify future programmers that the type initialiser needs to be called, which is why I initially went towards the Shared Constructor as a solution.

How can I kill the excel.exe process in SSIS during the data flow task when it fails? There could be multiple instances of Excel.exe running from other packages that are perfectly valid so I don't want to loop through all instances killing them.My problem is that during the data flow task the process will sometimes fail due to a sheet that is named incorrectly or missing columns. This keeps an instance of excel.exe running which is now an orphan task eating up resources so it needs to be killed.At the same time there are other SSIS packages running that are accessing their own excel.exe process and aren't having any issues. So how can I kill the orphan excel.exe process without impacting the other excel.exe process?

long story short, I have created a ListView type control, using UserControls for the parent control and the ListViewItems. Most the of the control is written and works fine, right up to the point where I tried to replicate the 'Control.SelectedItems(0).Index' property and the 'SelectedIndexChanged' event.
Each child object knows its index value, and could pass this value via the SelectedIndexChanged event (assuming this is how it works in a normal ListView control -- user clicks on an item, and that item fires an event updating the selected index value in the parent object).
How does the child object raise an event in the parent object? I have a feeling this could be done with Delegates, but I'm still learning about their usage.

I want to compare two objects to check if all the properites of both the object have same value or not. for this i need to use the reflection to enumarate through all the properties of an object and check the value of the property. To try the code just i have written a Employee Class having Two Properties EmployeeNo and EmployeeName. I am creating an object of the Employee class and need to write a function that can list the values of all the properties in the class.
