View 3 RepliesI have copied a folder with a project renaming the folder. I have then browsed and opened the project in the VB.Net 2005 IDE. I have then renamed the Assembly, root namespace, solution and project, searched and replaced all instances of original name, cleaned, rebuilt, tried deleting the bin and obj folders and rebuilt. But every time I run the newly named exe, when I try and start the original exe along side it nothing happens. it still thinks that the old exe is the same process? Both solutions are single instance applications. Why does it still think they are the same. I want the renamed copy to have slightly different functionality to cater for a different type of user but can't get both exe's to run at the same time which some users need. I can't see anywhere I have not changed the name for the new version.

Manually deleting each control, rewriting we are talking hours and hours of work.

View 5 RepliesI have iTextSharp creating a pdf for me in VB.net. Everything was working famously, except now I want to embed an image. I tried this:
Dim test = My.Resources.MyImage
Dim logo = Image.GetInstance(test)

Is there any way that I can add a project resource image to my PDF?
