This is my follow up question to my earlier topic about Memory management.Now I believe I have good code that gets me the results I want. The main application form has a Label field which tells the user to wait with message "Getting the data from the AD Database......". I am noticing that the "Wait" message is up for too long. However, once I get the data, it is processed fast and loaded into the DataGridView.
I would like the user to have a better feedback than the stardard "Wait" cursor. Is there a better way to show how much data (records) were fetched during the data aquisition phase and present it to the user? This would allow the user to guess how much longer he has to wait to complete the data fetching.
I wrote a VB.NET Windows Service, which works fine. I have only one issue with it. I want the service to execute on the half hour and top of the hour marks (e.g. 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc etc etc). I am using the following code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String) ' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things ' in motion so your service can do its work.
[CODE]...
This code works, however, if the service starts at, say, 10:15, then it executes at 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45. How do I make it so it always executes on the 30 minute and top of the hour marks?
i have two texts boxes where the user can enter pay per hour and expected raise % per year.when the calculate button is clicked it calculates yearly base on a 40 hour and 52 week base. the raise increases each amount after the first year and does it for the next ten years. yearly amount is displayed for the next ten years.
So let's say I have 1400, I want to convert it into 2:00PM I tried the following:Dim convertedTime As String = DateTime.ParseExact(theTime,"HHmm", Nothing)
And it would give me this: 6/12/2012 02:00:00 PM
I do not want the date part, neither do I need the seconds. All I need is 2:00PM
I want the program to display the text "Waiting for connection..." while the program is actually waiting for a connection. However, when I run the program, the form doesn't even appear because the TCPListener is waiting. What can I do to have the program appear and show the text while it's waiting for a connection?

Is there any way to create a function of magnifying glass when cursor hover on the image (Picturebox)?I have a picturebox in a panel that I declared. When user hover the cursor on the image it call the function of magnifying glass.
I would like to know if it possible to create an effect of magnifying glass for the picturebox, so I could see the other controls behind the picturebox which make them looks like a glass?
is there a way to have that aero glass effect using XP Pro when creating forms and please give me walk thru on this. I want to have that look on all my forms.
how to add glass effect to a win forms in vb.net or c# I looked a lot of examples like using e.graphics to make a square with the win form dimension and others are done really good without any e.graphics trick. But my problem is that I didn't look any example that uses windows controls like buttons, labels, dropdowns, etc on a glass effect win form.
I am currently painting a light blue, partly transparent overlay over owner-drawn objects to indicate certain state. It's OK but I thought that it would be even nicer if I could at some sort of glass effect to further establish the idea that the particular object has "something" overlaid over the top of it.
I thought that some glass streaks, for example, in addition to the blue transparency would lend a nice effect.I've Googled around for GDI+ (and others) algorithms to do simple things painting like this but have come up empty. I prefer .NET but can figure out the painting from pseudo-code on up.
Sorry, shoul've also specified that I need to target WinXP and using .NET version 2.0 - So unable to use WPF or Vista/Win7 goodies.
I can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.
I using the VistaControls control library (here) and I have a WebBrowser control that will have black in it on the form. When I set the background color to black in the HTML, the glass renders fine. So I added some text that is red, but it shows up as a transparent red. How do I get the text to be opaque?
Also, if I want to have black text in the HTML, how do I get that to show correctly?
How can I create a form with no title bar, but still have a glass border just like the Volume, Power Options, or Network windows have when you click on their icons in the system tray.[code]...
I had set my form initially load in aero glass effect.Then i want let the user can choose solid colour or aero glass effect.Wat should i put in my coding to let the form can become solid colour?

I have enabled the glass effect to Windows Forms in Visual Basic 2010. When I drop controls, they are not displaying well as usual. Whats is wrong with this?Image:
I'm trying to have Aero Glass look in my forms in VB.NET 2010 app with DWM API, but as function call suggests, it extends look of Frame to the client area, and if form has no border, nothing will happen and form will become invisible. So, can I get Aero glass in a form without any border.... ??
I've got an app that I'm writing that will have TextBoxes and Buttons on a glass form, much like what you'd see in Windows Explorer. I'm wondering how can I get the Textboxes' text to render properly on the glass? The text looks all messed up. I've tried a number of different ideas, but to avail.
I am having a problem with the aero glass effect on the form. I have successfully spread the glass to the background of the form, but now the buttons ext ect. look like this (I have tried EVERYTHING on this page with no success):url...[code]
I had following coding to make form have aero glass effect. but the text is become transparent too when i run it. how to make the text become no transparent? Thnx

I have a Vista Glass form using dwmapi.dll. I have a problem, which is whenever I put the form over a white color, the text becomes very difficult to read, as it is white as well. But if I put it over a black or darker color you can read it fine. I want the text color on my form to be able to change when the form is moved over a certain color. No, I'm not trying to make a virus / automater...
well here's where im stuck, I need Glass to get added to a string or something, so it can be called in myAddNew
vb.net "VALUES"Dim myValue As Integer ' Base value of frames Dim myValue1 As Integer ' Glass or plastic value Dim myValue2 As Integer ' Scratch Coating value Dim myValue3 As Integer ' UV value Dim totalCost As Integer ' Total value Dim deposit As Integer ' Deposit value, 20% of total myValue = 50 'Base value of frames, always 50 If GlassRadioButton.Checked
My program can detect when Aero is present, but it has trouble when the user is in Aero Basic because it doesn't use the transparency or glass look. I am wondering if there is a call to the dwmapi that can tell me if the computer is using Aero Basic.
Can a form be Created that has Aero Glass when in Vista/Win7 and when running in XP or 98 use a regular border? If so can I have a link to the infromation or a code sample?
