In short my program plays a random embedded audio file when a timer runs out, is there a way to refer to the my.resources files as an array and use them that way rather than needing to know the exact file name of the resource?
View 2 RepliesI am very new to programming so I apologize if I am asking really basic questions here, but how would I go about referring to a specific column in an array? I am trying to use the prices in one column of my array and multiply that by a quantity, but I am not sure how to extract the price out of the array.
[Code]...
I'd like to know if it is possible to refer to section of an array. e.g.
dim a(10) as integer
foo(<reference to array a starting at item 2>) 'only use items 2 to 9 of the array
...
sub foo(byref a() as integer)
<do something with array>
end sub
Note that I don't want to copy the array to a new array or pass in indices, if I can avoid doing so. Subroutine foo should be able to process the array without knowing if it gets the whole array or just a section.
How do I determine from these codes in a one dimensional array named sales which will refer to the ninth element?
sales(8)
sales(9)
sales.Item(9)
sales(10)
My thought is that the 3rd code will refer to the ninth element in the array.
lets say i have a program that consists of a form and 2 buttons.Now i want to make a theme.I want the background to change and the button background icons to change
(Button1 makes the theme Green and Button2 makes the theme Red)
Suppose i have : C:ThemeGreenButton1green.Picturefile[code]....
ATTENTION: What i want is that the images can also be shown on another pc user that doesn't own them.(Of course this is not the case.I just want to Understand how i can add some files to resources)
I want to add 20 small exe files in Resources. The total size is only 1.5 mb. I've added a couple of exe files and I see them in the "Resources" in Solution Explorer.
I've tried to start with:
Process.Start(My.Resources.PROJECT1.EXE)
But I got an error:
'EXE' is not a member of 'System.Array'.
(This is about the VB, Visual Studio 2010).
I have a VB.NET program with lots of embedded resources which are images. Is there a way to get all the resources in an array so I can acces them in a for loop?I currently have to do it this way:
images(1) = My.Resources.image1
images(2) = My.Resources.image2
'...
images(80) = My.Resources.image80
Is it possible to have an array of resources?
example: dim array() as ? = {My.Resources.test, My.Resources.test2}
i have a whole lot of txt files imported in resource and i want to open a specific resource if a COmbobox.text = to "test" or test2 etc.
Can you not copy files from your resources? [code] I don't get any errors but I do get an exception saying it couldn't find the file. I want to do this other than supplying the directory that it is located on on my computer because I'm not sure it it will work on other peoples computers if i have the path of the file set as "C:UsersMike.Mike-PCDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsJava IDEJava IDEResourcesCompiler.bat".

View 1 RepliesI have multiple .mp3 files that I have added to the resources of my project, and the thing is, that the mediaplayer won't play .mp3 files from the resources, so I need to extract them to the filesystem in order to play them, but I can't find any way to do this. All the things I've tried have given me the error saying that I don't have access to the folders I try to extract to. And yes, I'm on the Admin account of the computer.

I'm trying to make a V.O.S, (don't ask) and I have 2 questions:
1: how would I run programs in my resources files? (For example, if i included "Random.exe" could i do Process.start("Random.exe")? or what would i do?) Also, how would i add resources and settings files at runtime? is this possible?
I am adding all of my files as resources into my project (so they will work on another computer) however, I have some videos that I added as a resource for playing with AxVLC and I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work. I'm getting an error :Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'AxAXVLC.AxVLCPlugin'.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a map creator that chooses images randomly from various sets. What I'm trying to do is set up subfolders in Resources and put the different images in each folder - e.g., a folder for streets, a folder for monuments, etc. Then I just make an array of images out of the files in the folder, and pick one.
For some reason, I can't find a simple way of getting at the subfolders. I've tried using IO.Path.GetFullPath(My.Resources.ResourceManager.BaseName) and appending the folder name to the end of it, but no luck.
Is there some other way of getting the path? Is it even possible to use subfolders of Resources? Is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to accomplish? I'd really like to avoid creating the image arrays by hand.

View 6 RepliesI am witting an app that will generate batch files to do an unattended installation of a share point 2007 farm. I already have a batch file I use and it's pretty big. I copied and pasted the content into my application, and I'm using the System.IO.StreamWriter to write to the batch file from the winform. [code]As you can probably guess, I'm doing all of this in my mainform code window. There are maybe 3 or 4 batch files that will be generated based on the selections made on the form. For example, I'm generating a batch file to create the OU, Group and service accounts the farm will use in active directory, I'm creating a batch file for all of the variables that will be used for the additional batch files created, etc. How can I split this up? is there a way to create the batch files without having to actually copy, paste my existing batch file content into the mainform code window? I'm using file.writeline on each line of the pasted content by the way.
View 7 RepliesI have a very simple program which simply populates a listbox with a list of files stored in a directory.
Try
lvScripts.View = View.Details
lvScripts.Items.Clear()
lvScripts.Columns.Clear()
[Code]...
However, I'd like to embed these files into the application itself and open them from there rather than from looking at the directory.To this end I've added each of the files as a resource but I don't know how to populate the list view with a list of the text files in the my.resources rather than a list of the text files in the directory.
I'm really really rusty/rubbish at this, but I have a series of 11 bitmaps in my resources folder.
I'd like, each time I click a button, a different image loads in sequence into a picture box. How do I do this. I know I've got to some array which loads the images, and a loop to increment through the array, but I can't put it together with the resources folder and the PictureBox control.
I sort of got something like this:
Private
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
[Code].....
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?
So in VB.NET I created a resource file called "source.txt" (as its a text file). My program will take in the text in the file, and then compile it into an executable.
How do I access this file which is in my resources folder in my project?
If I took a COM object (specifically Excel 2003 workbook) and made it an embedded resource of my executable, would that improve the notoriously slow .NET-COM interop at all?
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?
Dim tempList() As String
tempList = My.Resources.ENABLE.Split({Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None)
For Each strWord In tempList
enableFullList.Add(New Words(strWord))
Next
I have seen System.IO.Compression but can't work out what to do, DeflateStream, GZipStream etc.
I'm working on a program where I've got a WebBrowser control that displays an HTML file from my 'Resources' folder. Like so... WebBrowser1.DocumentText = My.Resources.MyHTMLFile That displays the text from the HTML file just fine, but it does not display the CSS styles or images that the HTML file uses (even though I've added the CSS file and images to the 'Resources' folder as well).

I'm working in this application in Visual Basic Studio 2010 I have a combobox where user select phone model and textbox where a text file is loaded when user select model, I added text files to the project resource because I don't want to put them in files in the root directory of my application

what I need is a code to make text box load the text file wich have the same name of selected in combobox for example when user selct : CT-810 in combobox the text file with name: CT-810 must be loaded in the text box and so on for other combobox records
