this just makes no sense at all right now...the last time that I was debugging my game, this worked fine, now it crashes my game every time I try to load... ok, I have the users chosen font saved to the my.settings file of the game, and now, every single time that I go to launch the game, it crashes upon trying to load this chunk of the my.settings file...
[Code]....
I've tried to implement this highscore saving feature, so that when my application closes, the highscore saves within the my.settings storage function, and when my program loads up again, the same highscore loads up from this file. atm, it works ONLY within the application (I can close forms and it's still there, but if i end the program it resets to 0 next time it's loaded).it's basically 2 lines of code..1 for saving and 1 for loading..is this the best way to save a highscore for a game? I was initially thinking of making a database and linking it to that, but apprantly it's easier with the My.settings. even thought of using stremawriter but it's more uneccessary work over my.settings.[code]
View 7 RepliesHow do you save settings for a DataGridView? I'm making a game, and I want the user to be able to save their settings in a datagridview, and have it opened when he/she looks at the records form again.
I know this is what you do with a textbox, lets say:
My.Settings.Username = TextBox1.Text
My.Settings.Save()
But how would do that with a DataGrid View?
I have a dll that someone made me in C++. I needed to use this dll in VB, in order to do that I had to make another dll in C++ that has functions I can call in VB.
The C++ dll I made has 4 functions. 2 callback functions that retrieve information from the original C++. And 2 functions that I can call from VB to send that information.
I know the original dll works fine as Ive tested it endlessly in a console app.
However when I use it with my dll and VB.. I get random crashes.
There is almost no code in my VB app as its just for testing. It just outputs the information so theres no problem there.
I believe the problem is in the C++ dll I made. I am pretty new with C++.I think maybe a variable gets accessed in 2spots at the same time (is this possible?) and causes it to crash?[code]...
My app wont start up on any 32bit PCs. It brings an error. Ive tried all the solutions mentioned like going into Compile and changing the Platform, and other things.

After digging deep into the problem i noticed that too many svchost.exe processes are running on the pc on which app crashes. After carefully terminating the svchost.exe's i came to know that by terminating one svchost.exe which consumes around 50Mb Ram, the app works absolutely fine.
The process path "C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe"
Process Command Line "C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted"
When i terminate the process, app starts working fine.
PS : Even after terminating the process restarts itself and app works fine.

but it's strange. I have a few combo boxes on a form that are fed via select query. They each are populated by their own table. Each of the tables feeding them have a codeassociated with a name, function etc... the code is what is stored in the form's table. I have another select query that converts the code to the name or whatever so that the user does not see the code, but the name associated with it when the form loads.What is happening is: The form loads and if i don't touch any of these combo boxes every thing is fine if i update them, I can't tab off the combo box or move the cursor anywhere, or even close the form. I have one of these boxes with the same code and it works fine.. I don't understand what is going on... I have an after update function that is the same on all of them and it is indeed updating correctly....

for our culminating activity we must make a program that uses a bunch of things etc.
i decided to go the extra mile and make sudoku.
The problem lies in generating the puzzle, the program always crashes, but there is never an error. im sure there are easy ways to make the generator, but from what we've learned this is the only way i know how to do it.

i made a function for each 3x3 square, and what happens is the block its currently on, checks for interferences horizontally, vertically, and within each 3x3 square, because computers process in order, i set it so that it only checks for previous block interferences, since this is the first 3x3 quadrant, there are no previous horizontal/verticals to check.
The code works fine, the problem is when i run it, it says its running but no form appears, i learned to use a progressbar to try and separate each 3x3 block to generate individually, to try and split the processes up 1 second at a time. the problem is, it does run, but it only generates a certain amount before it crashes, and every time its different, sometimes it generates half the puzzle, sometimes 1/3rd, sometimes only the first quadrant.
In a program I have written I have FileSystemWatcher pointed two directories. When there is a change it keys up and using a listbox rewrites the files in the folder to the listbox. This all works just dandy.. however..
I wanted to change the listbox out for a TreeView. When I first initialize the TreeView on program start, no problems, but when the FileSystemWatcher kicks in the program crashes. I have tried running the debug but it crashes without any error, just the windows error that the program has stopped working.
I am running Dual XEON Quads with 8Gb RAM and Win7 Pro up to date on all patches so there shouldn't be a problem there.
Here is the code for the listbox:
'Setup Filewatcher for Scan Folder List
Public scanfolder1 As FileSystemWatcher

This is an annoying issue that started less than a week ago and couldn't come at a worse time, as I have a major project deadline to meet. At least once every TEN minutes, the program crashes with the error "Microsoft Visual Studio has stopped working" -- it only occurs when I am writing/editing code while execution is paused (Edit and Continue), which I do all the time since I am stepping through rather complex subroutines line-by-line. I literally have trained myself to save after each line of code I write, delete, or change, so thankfully I never lose much, if anything, when I restart, but it is irritating and time-consuming having to set up everything in the program and get to the place in the code that I was before. I have installed VS 2010 SP1, tried deleting the .suo file, and a few other supposed fixes that I came across online, to no avail.[code]...

I am working on a poker game and I have the game setup the way I want it in terms of graphics and I have the code programed to deal the cards out exactly how I want them. Granted, the code is very simplistic, but functional for a new programmer like myself. I'm sure there are other more efficient ways to code my game, but I like mine so far because I can at least understand the majority of it. With that being said, here are a few problems and questions that I have.
1. How come when all 12 cards are dealt out I have some cards repeating in the game? For example, I get queen of diamonds in more than one picture box when I only want the card to be dealt once and then removed until the next game.
2. I was hoping to have a button 3 to clear all the boxes, basically resetting the game to the next game. When I hit button 3 it only clears the contents of picturebox 10 and 12.Other notes: I have the deal down the way I want it. It deals the first 10 picture boxes and a second button deals the 11 and 12 picture boxes.
3. I know this is my next step so I want to post it with the code I currently have. I want to start taking my project one step further by evalutating each of the three rows of cards (3 rows of 3 cards each - I'm not worried about the dealers hand (picture box 10, 11, 12 yet). So I want to evaluate a row of pictureboxes against a "pay scale" and display the win in a text box or label next to the 3 card hand. For example, Q of diamonds, Q of Clubs, Q of spades would win 15, etc. ( have a weird feeling I may have to change the names of the cards (I have them named card1, card2, etc. right now) to something that identifies them in order to evaluate the hands.
Here is the code that I currently have. I'm using visual basic.

I'm trying to make a simple fruit machine game for windows mobile device.
I can create the game easily enough and flip through pictures in a picture box to display the correct symbol.. but what I'd like to do is do a proper spinning reel, but have no idea where to even start.
What I have is a list of images in an imagelist (or individual files) - what I'd like is them attached to each other and moving downwards, preferably as though it were going around a drum but just them moving would be a start.
I am trying to make a game which basiclly lets you shoot ducks. i have a picture as a background (set as form image) i then have picturebox's with ducks flying flying around you shoot them the disapear etc.
