I am trying to create a Class Library that I can use to store icons in (just like Windows' Shell32.dll file), but I'm not sure where to begin. I thought maybe setting all the icons I want to store as a resource and then calling them from there, but I'm not sure if that would be the right way to do so.
Could someone give me an idea on how to do this please? Thanks.

You mean something like this? Loading Bitmap pictures from external DLL on VB 6.0[^]
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Close. I was talking more like building a DLL file in Vb.Net that has icon files in it so I can call them. Like when you want to change an icon for a folder in Windows, you can choose the icon you want out of the Shell32.dll file.
I'm not sure about the right way to do this, so I was looking for some ideas. If I cannot do this, is there maybe a program that can?
Thanks.

Hi,
Im trying to pause a video at certain intervals.
Currently I have added a movie player pro activeX control and have a text box (txtcur) which states to the user which position the video is at. I also have a trackBar displaying:
Code: TrackBar1.Value = eventArgs.iCurrent
txtCur.Text = Str(eventArgs.iCurrent)
What i would like to do is basically pause the video at certain intervals e.g.
If txtCur = 10000 then
do something....
end if
However this doesnt seem to work. I just wanted to know if something like this is possible, and if so how?
(im using timer function at the moment but find it restricting and repetitive).
Thanks in advance
Jaidev
P.s Merry xmas to you all.

A timer function exists to be repetitive. It is the logical choice for pausing video at certain intervals. You should not be checking the text on your control, you should just use your timer. Or, you should be checking if the actual video position >= 10000, so if you don't check it at the moment it's 10000, it will still work as soon as it can. Don't check the control, check the video that is the source and primary arbiter of the value you're checking.

:(i want a suitable code for importing a excel file into access database using vb.net

Why not just import it using Access, then you don't have to write any code!
What have you written so far? We'll help you with your code, but we won't write it for you.

Just save the file path in a variable and when you click your Save button, have it read the whether or not the file path is set. Like so:
If FilePath <> "" Then
SaveFunction(FilePath)
Else
SaveAs()
End If
Hope this helps you out.

how to set an image size as the screen resolution size?
Happy Holidays

What? Are you asking how to change the magnification of the image? You would normally just use one of the DrawImage overloads that let you specify the size of the drawn image. It'll be scaled automatically to that size on the target drawing surface.

You're still not.

So, what's stopping you from drawing the image, or whatever your app is doing, using one of the DrawImage overloads?
You have to spell out what your app is doing and how this image is being displayed. Is it in a PictureBox? Is it the background image of a control or form? ...?

Hi there,
Is there a way to update a certain dll's components in a ComPlus application via InstallShield or VB code?
Any help or hint on this will be appreciated.

If I understand the question, no you can't edit the .DLL. You have to change the code, compile it, then replace the .DLL file with the new one.
With InstallShield, you can make a patch installation that will make the necessary changes to the .DLL file, but it needs the original .DLL file and the new one to build the edit patch because the edit will only work on the version of the .DLL file.
It's a heck of a lot easier to just unregister and replace the old .DLL file with the new one and re-register.

Hi,
Right-clicking on a file and selecting Properties will always change
the access date, because Explorer is accessing the file to retrieve
several items of information. In Explorer, you can add "Date Accessed"
to be displayed in the "Details" view to see the "real" access date.
Also, using cmd.exe's "dir /TA" or the VBScript below shows me
different (real) access dates, so I would think it is the File class
in .Net that have the problem. I suggest you post in some of the .Net
developer newsgroups.
'--------------------8<----------------------
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sDesktopPath = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sDesktopPath)
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
sFileInfo = sFileInfo & oFile.DateLastAccessed & ", " & oFile.Name & vbCrLf
Next
WScript.Echo sFileInfo
'--------------------8<----------------------

The LastAccess date in the last time the file was read/written to. If you get Properties on a file in Explorer, the file is opened and read to fill in some of the informaiton in the Properties dialog box, like the Version of Summary tabs. This is something that we all know about. Just about noone ever uses the LastAccessed date/time either because it's too easy to change it. The LastModified date/time is far more commonly used.
You're not telling anyone anything we didn't already know. Besides, posting something like this in the forums is pointless because it'll just drop out of sight in the next week and noone ever searches the forums before they post a question anyway.

Ya..

The requrement is like that.
I want to trace the date and time of my software's last run.
Just Understand that..This is to track the events going on in our client place.
I know that what u are telling is making the sense.
But you must know what i want..
Thanx 4 ur reply..
Any suggestions from you??

Bibin

Your applicaiton should log this somewhere. Depending on the security requirements, you could even log this to an encrypted XML file hidden somewhere or to the systems own event log. But, depending on the LastAccess time is not reliable at all, considering you can screw it up just by getting properties on it or if backup software runs and backs it up to tape or something.
