I just had an error in the Designer.vb file, and now my form doesn't show any controls on it. I accidentally named one of the controls "Name" before I realized that was a bad idea. if I've changed that to something else in the designer.vb file, is there a way to "refresh" or somehow get my...

I need to make thumbnail images of all of the files in one folder and save them to another folder. I have this code mostly working, but I'm getting "A generic error occurred in GDI+" on the line in red. Public Class Form1 Dim img As Image Dim img2 As Image Dim abt As...

I have an ASP page and it includes a Windows Media Player and an AIM messenger client embedded. I'm not sure if this is an ASP issue, but neither of those two work in IE, but they work in Firefox. Any ideas why? Thanks. Here's the page: http://carrollscan.myftp.org/

I'm trying to use a gradient on a PNG file that is one solid color (the shape in the PNG is), but I'm getting "Parameter is not valid". I just saw that PathPoints is read only, so I'm trying to figure out how to add points to a path. Is this possible, and how can I do it? Here's an example of...

Most of this user control works (that I've written about in other posts), but I'm still having a problem with two of the ellipses not resizing properly when I resize the control at design time. I've changed the values for width and height on everything to math expressions that should make them...

I'm trying to make a user control that I call a DigitalDisplay. I have most of it working, but I'm trying to make it center the text, depending on the length of the text that is entered. I'm having trouble with this, and it's either in the Text3Rect or Text3Brush, or maybe both. I'm not sure...

I'm trying to make a user control that I'll cal a DigitalDisplay. I've used GDI+ architect to design what the control looks like, but I can't figure out what I need to do to set up the properties for the control. I want the user to be able to change the color and the text. Can someone show me...

I'm trying to compile a service, and it needs a certificate before it will work. When I try to create a test certificate, I get this error: Can someone help me figure out how to create the certificate, or to find a way to use this without a certificate? Thanks.

This program is supposed to watch a folder and display Form2 (with the text of Label1 in Form2 equal to specific text) when a file contained in a String Collection is added to the folder. It's giving me two problems. One is that it seems to freeze up when Form2 shows, and the other is that the...

I'm just experimenting and trying to write a program that will draw a circle at different points on the form on a timer. I have two problems with it. One is that it doesn't seem to be random enough, even though I'm using Randomize() a bunch of places (I know it's redundant, but I was trying...

I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I just recently found a program for amateur radio operators that has a really nice looking interface that looks like a radio, so I decided to try to use GDI+ to make my own radio. This turned out better than I expected it to.

I'm trying to work on an application to help learn some different parts of VB a bit better. I'm going to keep a contact list in the database, and the application will look up contacts based on which field you entered (first name, last name, address, etc.). I'd like it to look up the contact...

I want to work on making my website look better, but I haven't used GDI+ with ASP pages. Can this be done? I tried it, but I couldn't find some things that I was looking for. For instance, if I wanted to create a background for the page, I'd want to start with a rectangle, but I couldn't use...

I'm trying to use GDI to create a block arrow which I can then fill with color or a gradient brush. Since GDI doesn't have a DrawTriangle method, I was just drawing lines to try to get that shape. It seems that it was drawing one of the lines to extend all the way until it hit point 0,0...

One of my duties at work is to keep our website updated. This involves making sure that our products are synchronized with each vendor (ie. make sure we aren't selling anything they no longer sell, and make sure we have their latest products). I also need to make sure that product colors and...

I was in a Flash chat room and I saw buttons that looked really good. I'd love to be able to make these for my VB programs. Would someone here know how to do this? Here's the button It looks to me like it may just fade to a gradient on top and bottom and be overlayed with a...

I found an earlier post about adding a halo around text, and I am trying to adapt it for some code I have already written for images that I'm using on my message forums. I haven't worked with using a matrix before, so I'm not sure how to make the change to this. I think the halo isn't showing...

This is a multi-part question, and I don't expect to get both parts answered here. I have an idea for a device I would like to build, as well as the software to control it, and I'm looking for a place to start. The device would just be a series of LEDs (maybe three banks of five) that I could...

I have a page where logged in users can see what files they have uploaded and download them if they want. The problem is that if the file is a known extension (like a PowerPoint presentation), clicking the hyperlink runs the file instead of popping up the box asking if you want to open or save...

How can I point Visual Studio to use the .NET Framework 3.0? I downloaded the installer and ran it, but it looks like the list of toolbox items that I can add are still the same ones. Thanks.
