I'll share a very unconventional method that professionals have secretly used for years: 
Do exactly as the error message says.
Move the code for the form class so that it's the first class in the file.

b { font-weight: normal; }

Hi all,
Im using a windows form and on mouse down on a label i want to draw an rectangle on the label. Its working fine when the label without border. But When i have the label with border, after clicking the label for the fisrt time its throwing "System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException" . and an Generic GDI+ Error.
In DrawRectangle function i removed the border of the control by converting the control to a label inroder to have that BorderStyle Property. I think problem might have occured in this line of code.
and its not drawing the rectangle, for the second time mouse down, its working fine and draws the rectangle properly.
Whats could be the problem, Please guide me. I was struggling with this error for the past two days. Code is given below.
Private Sub Label1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Label1.MouseDown
If CInt(Label1.Tag) = 0 Then
Label1.Tag = 1
DrawRectAngle(Label1)
ElseIf CInt(Label1.Tag) = 1 Then
Label1.Tag = 2
Label1.Refresh()
DrawCrossLine(Label1)
Else
Label1.Tag = 0
Label1.Refresh()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub DrawRectAngle(ByVal ControlName As Control)
Dim RectPen As New Pen(Color.Lime)
RectPen.Width = 6
g = ControlName.CreateGraphics()
Try
If TypeOf ControlName Is System.Windows.Forms.Label Then
CType(ControlName, Label).BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
End If
Dim rect As Rectangle
rect = New Rectangle(1, 1, ControlName.Width, ControlName.Height)
g.DrawRectangle(RectPen, rect)
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Regards
Mukilan.

hi!
yup its a desktop application. actually im working on a product in which i have to give enduser the help option too.

Let me see a sample of your code. Maybe I can fix it if I can figure out what it is you want from it.

ok! actually if u can c the help of showhelp popup in msdn the same example i tried to run.
wat i gt idea from this example is that the popup help will popup on the edge of the textbox. but it is not working so. try the example in msdn.
Private Sub textBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox1.KeyUp
' Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. Display help if it is.
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
' Display a pop-up help topic to assist the user.
Help.ShowPopup(textBox1, "Enter your first name", New Point(textBox1.Right, Me.textBox1.Bottom))
End If
End Sub 'textBox1_KeyUp

There's you're problem right there - the point you're creating will plot the location relative to the screen, not the textbox control or it's containing form. You have to take into account the location of the textbox on the form AND the location of the form itself.
Try this, it'll show the popup over the top right of the textbox no matter where the form is or what window state it's in (normal/maximized).
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(....) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
Help.ShowPopup(Me.TextBox1, "Help is at hand", New Point((Me.Left + TextBox1.Right), (Me.Top + TextBox1.Bottom)))
End If
End Sub

thankx for reply.
but dear its not working in the mdi application.
lets suppose if u take this form as a child form then wat ?
|
|
|
|

Then you mess around until you get it right.
Private Sub txt_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txt.KeyUp
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
Dim x, y As Integer
Dim r As Rectangle = txt.RectangleToScreen(txt.Bounds)
x = (r.Left - txt.Left) + txt.Width
y = (r.Bottom - txt.Top) - txt.Height
Help.ShowPopup(Me.txt, "Help is at hand", New Point(x, y))
End If
End Sub

WM_COPYDATA is the easiest way to do this, I believe. Not sure how you'd do that in VB.NET, but I'm certain you can.

My Project has a requirement of storing Image and Text data in Access Database. I am using Vb.net for coding.
According to me, This requirement can be fullfilled using binary files. But i am not able to figure out how to do it.
The requiremnt is to accept data in RichTextBox(Text and Images) and convert it to binary file and store it to DB(Access). and Vice Versa.
Can any body help me regarding this...
Any links berifing the matter or any article
Plz i need help...

hey, I am C# developper, but i think my code might be useful since we are both using .NET framework.
do the following.
Check if file exist first by using the File class.if exists then do this
byte[] Imagespace = File.ReadAllBytes(strPath);
strpath is the full path of the photo.
you can then send to stored procedure or do whatever you want once you have the photo in Imagespace variable.
I wish my code would be useful.

Hi thankx for the help rabih.
Any how i have fullfilled the reqirement in a different and simple way. As the data is inserted in RichTextBox i accessed the data in RTF format from RTBox and stored in database. And while retrieving i can assign the data to RTBox.Rtf. It will convert the Text and Images and will display them.
Simple isnt it...

Hello
How can I make the IDE show tool tips for the properties of my own objects? I know it can be done but am not sure where to look.
Many Thanks

Take a tool tip component and place it on the form.
Go to Mouseover event of ur object and add this text...
ToolTip1.setToolTip(ObjectName(EX:Button1),"ToolTipText"(Ex:"New"))

Thanks for the reply, but its not quite what I'm after, I may have phrased the question wrong.
The kind of tool tips I am after are when I am using my object in code and the intellisense pops up. When I select a particular property for my object I would like some text to appear detialing what the property does. Like when you are using a text box and you type TextBox1.Text and a tool tip pops up telling meabout the Text property.
Many Thanks
