    Extracting Path from a Shortcut file...

    Hey all - I'm trying to make my application more robust by allowing files to be dragged-and-dropped onto the executable, thus opening the dropped files when the program launches. This is working well so far. I'm getting the file path(s) from the command line arguments and processing them. The...

    DLL Functions, etc...

    Is there any way to retrieve the various functions/subs/etc and their signatures from a DLL... or do I need to know all them and their proper syntax? It would make coding a bit easier... so I thought I'd ask :)

    Form-Fading Woes...

    I'm building an application that will allow me to play video and display images full-screen. I'm trying to build a routine that will allow me to fade into an image. My main form is a black-background, maximized form - thus making the entire screen black. When I want to see an image, I set the...

    As my profile states, I use VS.NET 2005 at home, but I'm working on an App at work using VS.NET 2003... Anyway... I just added an option to my app to make my main window the topmost window (form1.topmost = true), which works well and is very useful in my application. However, now my...

    Clicking and Focus on MDI child forms...

    I have an application that uses several child forms on a main MDI form. I'm building it with VS.NET 2003 (not 2005 like my profile states).

    Image Fade-in Fade-out

    I'm building an application that, among other things, displays images full-screen, with the option of fading them in or out. I want to load images from files (jpg/png/bmp/etc...), and fade them in and out at varying speeds. One at a time, no overlapping fades (yet?). Anyway, I found some code...

    Big Idea... can it be done? send keys to remote pc

    I have a small linux server as part of a software testing setup at work. It's running software that requires me to enter lots of long commands, which can get rather tedious. This computer uses a USB keyboard. Could I write some VB.NET software on a windows machine, that would let me send...

    OK... so I want to add some data to a listbox on my Form1. I can do it successfully using a button on my form (See Button1 below). However, when one of my objects (NetServer) raises an event, my Form1 handles that event, starts executing some code, but it cannot modify my listbox and I don't...

    I'm writing a very simple app to be used within our corporate network. Basically, I am simplifying a common task. The program goes into a shared network folder, finds an XML file, and returns a value located within the file. I'm trying to make it a pretty solid little app. Some computers may...

    Object names as variables...

    This may be a simple thing, but the solution escapes me as a relatively inexperienced Dot-Netter... I have a form with 24 pictureboxes, named numerically: "Mod0" "Mod1" "Mod2" ...etc... "Mod22" "Mod23" I want to change properties of these pictureboxes by supplying a function with the number of...
