Is it possible to set an IMAGE or BackgroundImage for a button from an online resource such as a [url].... file in any way at all . I would like to do something like this in a WINDOWS FORMs based application.>>
Button1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("http:url]....)
i want to know, which way program runs faster1- add image to button through its property -> assign image from project resource file2- on form load event, assign images to buttons, from project resource file
View 19 RepliesI am using VS2010 VB.net and I am having issues with what would normally apear to be straight forward in VB6... I am looking at a control that will alternate its backgroundimage between two images, I wish to check which image is currently loaded to the control and change it to the alternative image.
If A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image1 then
A1RectangleShape.BackgroundImage = my.resource.Image2
else[code]....
This only yields the type of image thats assigned to the control "System.Drawing.Bitmap" how to return the backgroundimage file name thats been assigned to the control at runtime, IE Image1 or Image2.
How do I set button1.image to the image resource named in a string?
if my_string = "image1" then
button1.image = my.resources.image1
else if my_string = "image2" then
button1.image = "image2"
...
else if my_string = "image30" then
button1.image = "image30"
end if
Is there an easier way to do this?
I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.BackgroundImage = My_Project.My.Resources.african_lion

I don't I have a little experience in Visual Basic .NET 2008 Currently I'm developing a program for my job in which you can follow a checklist for doing a certain procedure. With every step you have to click a checkbox and so on. It's saved in an XLS-file and blahblah, all irrelevant for my question.

If it is Image1 at the time of clicking it should change to Image2, and vice versa.

View 1 RepliesIn my Database application same of the operations can cause a bit of a delay, especially the ones that invoke more than one query on the DB.... In Windows (or was it in Java?) I have encountered this progress bar that doesn't gradually fill in but rather just shows this block of bars that moves from left to right in a loop...basically not showing exact info regarding the progress but simply showing that something is happening....Anybody knows what I'm talking about? And if so, if there is a way to implement this in VB? Kind of in a way that it appears when the function is called and starts looping until the function reaches its last lines and then disappears?
View 3 RepliesI have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.

I use WPF and my program has images in a DLL resource file. I have this well working way to read in images from disk:
Private Function GetImageFromFile(ByVal fileName As String) As BitmapImage
Dim buffer As Byte() = IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fileName)
Dim memoryStream As New IO.MemoryStream(buffer)
[Code]....
Now, how can I get images in this MemoryStream-way from a DLL resource?
The basic problem: If I use simply the "bitmap.UriSource = whatever uri" way and load many images in sequence like an animation it builds up the memory. I tried with the above memorystream way and it worked perfectly fine, but then I store my images in a dll and I don't know how to do this trick. If anybody knows how to read many images from a managed dll without building up the memory
Is this possible? I dont want to include a folder of all the images.I want to be able to take an image from the resource and export it to a file.
View 3 RepliesA DLL file contains some images inside PNG resource type.
I can view the PNG images in softwares like Resource Hacker, Anolis Resourcer & Resource Tuner. Check this screenshot of Anolis Resourcer for more details:
how do I get the PNG image no. 5220 from the DLL file and put it inside a PictureBox? I don't think APIs like LoadImage or LoadBitmap will work.
I cannot seem to get my image resources to load into PictureBox1.I can see all the images I added as resources in the solution explorer.They are a series of PNG files with names associated with countries.I am at the beginning stages of randomly changing the image that is displayed in PictureBox1, but I cannot even get the first image to load.Here is my code so far. When I click on Button2 I can see that my array returns a random country, but no image loads.I even tried typing in several of the countries names as well as the country name followed by png (e.g. chine.png) and again no image loads.
Public Class Form1
Dim randomObject As New Random()
Dim Flags() As String = {"australia", "brazil", "china", "italy", "russia", "south africa", "spain"}[code]......
