Hello All
I want to manually enter items in the combox as:
cbo.Items.Add("Item1")
cbo.Items.Add("Item2")
How i can add ValueMember Field data manually? As we have an option in VB6 as:
cbo.AddItem ("Item1")
cbo.ItemData(cbo.NewIndex) = 1 'How this can be done in VB.Net? 
cbo.AddItem ("Item2")
cbo.ItemData(cbo.NewIndex) = 2 'How this can be done in VB.Net?
Regards

You're looking for the Shell Automation object. Add a reference to the Shell32.dll, usually found in C:\Windows\System32. In your code, you do something like this:
Imports Shell32
.
.
.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(blah, blah) Handles Button1.Click
Dim myShellObject As New Shell32.Shell
myShellObject.Open(ShellSpecialFolderConstants.ssfDRIVES)
End Sub
End Class
You can find out what all the special folder constants refer to here[^] on MSDN.

A label printer is no different than an inkjet or laser printer. The paper is just a lot smaller. What part of this are you having a problem with?

i want to connect a lamp to my pc via com1 or any ports and write a simple code using vb.net to control on/off???

I assume your talking about an LED and not a 110/220V light bulb!
First, the serial port is a bad choice to connect an LED to. It's cumbersome to control since most signals only last a fraction of a second on the serial port and there are only a few lines that will actually hold a signal up or down. The better choice for this would be the Parallel port. You can find many exmaples of this on the web.
A good example, complete with LED's and switch inputs, can be found at http://www.logix4u.net[^]

Anyone can help me to see what the problem is??
How can I improve it?

And stop looking at TaskManager to see how much memory your using. You're actually seeing how much memory the CLR's virtual machine is holding onto, NOT much much memory your app is actually using. Use the Performance Monitor and the .NET CLR Memory counters if you want to see how much memory your app is using.

I know what you mean actually,
but the number of memory shown on the task manager will shown to the end user.
Can I make the number shown on Task Manager is also low?

Not without calling the GarbageCollector directly. This is never done, unless you have a really good reason for doing it and know the consequences are! Doing this "just because I don't want my customer to think my app is a memory hog" is not good enough. The GC is self-tuning. You WILL cause your app major performance problems by constantly forcing the GC to run early.

IMHO
It did happen alot, customers asking about our application perfomance, especially when we were selling the application. They will start saying something like "my old program or another program ( using another language ) didnt behave like this. are you sure your program is ok?". And then they start to "feel" that when running our application, they computer run slower. And also customers, most of them, didnt have IT background. Explaining them about what behind it, is sometime useless. What they see is what they believe.
The result of this are unsatisfied customer and a change of loosing business opportunities.
That's why a lot of people been asking and they will keep asking about it in the future. In CP forum itself, almost everyday there's a question about it.

This is a consequence of the environment and tools you are using - in this case Microsoft Windows, .NET Framework and VB. There are ways around it but they ALL include either rewriting the program in a different language or using different libraries or both. I know one guy who does all his own programming and never uses the framework nor the VC++ class libraries. As a consequence he has very compact and efficient code BUT it takes him MUCH MUCH longer to write, debug etc. That's the tradeoff by using rapid application development tools. (BTW, Microsoft is not the only supplier of resource-hungry dev tools.)

I know what you mean. Non-IT trained (savvy) people never understand, but most of them never understand how an internal combustion engine works either since they are not trained mechanics but they still drive them to work everyday.

This is the job of the pre-sales guys and sales reps. They should properly manage the customer's expectations and be ready for the inevitable "why is it so" questions.
shiroamachi wrote: In CP forum itself, almost everyday there's a question about it.
Yes, sadly not many developers understand it either.

In VB.NET, when some huge data processing is going on, the form turns blank (Nothing is visible to the user, sort of hangs). However, the processing goes on correctly and the form becomes normal after the processing is completed. Can someone tell me how this can be prevented. Thnx...
With Best Regards,
Mayur

Use a thread for processing this data.
You are doing processing in the main GUI thread. Hence it hangs.
Branch out the processing onto a different thread. You'll see the difference.

Thnx for your reply. Since I am relatively new to .NET, I really do not have much idea about threading. Could you explain it to me or provide some samples. Also, I am using a progress bar to try and keep the screen active. But no luck. Thnx a lot.

What is that?
Put an image onto a button. Button has the image property. Select an image.

You've got to paint it like that.
