Is your question about extracting the resources or assigning them to the picturebox
|
|
|
|

First, it depens on how you want to use resources. Are these embeded pictures as resources in your project or you are going to load them from references or from a specific directory. 
What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

Well what I want to do is; When the user selects an item in the ListBox, the PictureBox loads a file from the resources and displays it, and when the user selects another item, the PictureBox do the same procedure but gets another picture.
Since I've never used code to grab something from the resources, I have no clue on where and how I'm gonna load them. A friend of mine gave me this[^] link where it was described how a PictureBox could be used.
pictureBox1.Image = _<br />
new Bitmap(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). _<br />
GetManifestResourceStream("PictureBoxControl.tinyemulator_res.jpg"))
The issue with this is that first Assembly is undefined and second that, well I have no freakin' idea on where the UI input should be. Is that enough to help me? 
Cheers!

First do you have Imports System.Reflection at the beginning of your code, you need that to access the Assembly object. For the next part use the ListBox SelectedIndexChanged event, use the selecteditem value to index your resource file.
Hope that helps

Please check this link out http://msmvps.com/blogs/JayHarlow/default.aspx[^] It can give you an idea. If I were you, I would use embeded resources of course it is much easier to deal.
Also here is another approach:
<code>
The following example uses the ResourceManager.GetObject method to retrieve and display a binary resource (such as a graphic image).
…
Dim private rm As ResourceManager
rm = New ResourceManager("MyImages", Me.GetType().Assembly)
PictureBox.Image = Ctype(rm.GetObject("MyObject"), System.Drawing.Image)
…
</code>

Dim comm As OleDbCommand
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter

conn.Open()
comm = New OleDbCommand
comm.Connection = conn
comm.CommandType = CommandType.Text
End Sub
Private Sub DisplayRecord()
Me.txtid.Text = dr.GetString(0)
Me.txtpass.Text = dr.GetString(1)
End Sub
Private Sub btnlogin_Click(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnlogin.Click
connect()
comm.CommandText = "select * from Managers where id like '" & txtid.Text & txtpass.Text & "%'"
If txtid.Text = "Managers" = dr.GetString(0) And txtpass.Text = "Managers" = dr.GetString(1) Then

Why would you make these members ?

You're truncating the username and password in to one string and using LIKE. What you should be doing is doing a select that checks if a record exists with exactly the username and password that were entered, so the real username and password never get pulled out of the database.

 I have have not look at this in detail but does not msaccess require you use "*" as a wild card instead of the SQL "%"/

I have hierarchical data that the user can make one of four choices about. The primary treeview manages @900 rows of data that collapsed to @100 groups.
I need to draw a tree view with a 'radio button group' where the radio buttons are related to the treeview node index.
I have made a User Control for the 4 radio button but can't quite figure out:
1) How to Position the radiobuttons to align with the tree view node
2) Linkage to connect the button data to the treeview node
i.e.
[a,b,c,d] tvNode1
[a,b,c,d] tvNode2
Each control is located on separate panels, panel 1 is for the radio buttons, panel 2 is for the Treeview. - Is there may be a better way???
TIA

I would start from an existing treeview control and set the the DrawMode-property to OwnerDrawAll, so you you don't have to bother about the complexicity of the positions. In this mode you can draw your buttons instead of the existing signs in the treeview. Does this help your problem?

if common.strname = string.empty then

I want to clarify what you are asking? Are you trying too check the value of a textbox control to see if it is null and if so then opening a different form? Or are checking to see if a control has been createded?

Im trying something like this:
If strName.IsNullOrEmpty Then frmTeachBasics.Show()
The strName is a global, but it is coming up with an error asking me to replace "strName with String"

Try If String.IsNullOrEmpty(strName) Then frmTeachBasics.Show

i have two forms , form 1 and form 2
if have given some value in textbox1 of form1, i want the same value to be displayed on label of form2...
please help..
thanks
|
|
|
|
|
you can pass the pointer of the label of form1 to form2 and have it update in the textchange event or leave event.
|
|
|
|
|
You should NEVER pass a reference to a control between forms. You can pass the string to form2, via a property, store the value in a common property in a static class, or use a delegate to inform form2 when it changes in form1, if form2 is modeless.

You can also use the IsDate function. I think you'd first have to reorganize the string to this format first MM/dd/yy and then you can say:
If IsDate(strDbDate) Then<br />
Return True<br />
Else<br />
Return False<br />
End If
