I have downloaded the provided zip file from Microsoft and seen that it has very small icons any advice on how I can install and use them in visual studio 2022 pro
I would like to be able to insert images dynamically into my vb.net project as follows
Me.tsExit.Image = CType(resources.GetObject("tsExit.Image"), System.Drawing.Image)
Doing this currently results in no image being shown. Trying to use the asset import and choosing the image I need from the ones downloaded StatusErrorOutline.png results in a very blurry image meaning that it is not the right way of using the downloaded images.
not sure to understand your problem. assuming tsExit is a pictureBox, you can use imageList component to store images like this :
Dim ImageList1 As New ImageList
ImageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile("d:\\img\myFace.png"))
ImageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile("d:\\img\bottle.png"))
ImageList1.Images.Add(Image.FromFile("d:\\img\dog.png"))
PictureBox1.Image = ImageList1.Images(0) 'show myface.png
PictureBox1.Image = ImageList1.Images(1) 'show bottle.png
'etc....

I want to add an image from resources to a pdf file.
Tools used are - PDFSharp, MS Visual Studio Express 2012
Language - VB.Net
Currently I am trying to load an image from a drive location as shown below.
Logo = XImage.FromFile("D:\FullPDF.jpg")
But the image should be loaded from the available resources in the application itself.
Please give me a way to accomplish this.
Thanks for the help in advance.
My goal is to creat a gif from (42) images that I got (screenshots from a graphic after a small rotation).
I managed to find some ways to do it, but each time I must instal some package/component/library (I'm not familiar with those...)
A gif is a succession of images right? Isn't there a easy way to "stick" those image on after an other as a gif? Or there is nothing in visual studio for that (I found somewhere in the project tab ---> add a component ---> image.gif but i can't manage to do anything with it)
Importing an Adobe Illustrator file in Blend for Visual Studio 2013 adds a Canvas and images to my project. But if images are added the import is not a vector graphic any more, right?
I hoped I could import that .ai file, resulting in a Path object, so that I have a vector graphic that could be dynamically scaled by window size in my Visual Studio project.
Is there any solution for that?
I haven't used blend so i am not sure about this issue, but as i understand expression design 4 is now free and can open ai files to convert to xaml. Also i think there are svg to xaml converters if u can get the vector file as svg.
I wrote a small program to store and hopefully print contact information (in vb.net). The program contains a few text fields and a picture box. Saves the Information and so on. Can anyone recommend a quick way to save the form to a format that can then be transferred to her work computer and printed (she can't install my program at work, taboo policy and so on). Using the printform control, printform.print() with the PrintAction set to PrintToFile is just giving me garbled junk. I guess I could print to an html file bit by bit, but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows a better way. Also, with the html route I'm not sure how I'd add the contents of the picture box. Thanks in advance.
You can try saving your Form to a Bitmap using the DrawToBitmap Method which could then be saved as an image then printed out later, the main problem you will run into with this method is that the DPI settings are different between the screen and a printer.
Dim bmp As Bitmap = New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)
Me.DrawToBitmap(bmp, New Rectangle(New Point(0, 0), Me.Size))
bmp.Save("C:\temp\123.bmp") 'Set your path and your filename here
In a form I have an ImageList named MainLogoImageList containing a 100x100 pixel 32-bit colordepth image. That is my app logo.
I am too lazy to set up an icon editor and edit an icon of that logo, or convert the image to an .ICO file. (Ergh, well, I am not allowed to install custom utilities.)
To set my forms' icon, I use
Icon = IconFromImage(MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
in the OnLoad event handler to set the window icon.
In my about box, i have a PictureBox with no image. In its OnLoad event, I use
LogoPictureBox.Image = MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0)
Icon = IconFromImage(MyMainForm.MainLogoImageList.Images(0))
to set the About box's icon and content.
So far, so good, the icon looks pretty good for a being created from a 100x100 pixel bitmap.
Is there an easy "no utility required" :-) way to get the icon that is returned my IconFromImage saved into an .ICO file so that it will keep the color depth when loaded as the app icon? I want to use exactly the icon that IconFromImage creates.
Saving it using
Dim S As New FileStream("MyAppIcon.ico", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write)
Icon.Save(S)
S.Close()
in the main form's OnLoad event handler and loading that .ICO file as the app icon in VS's project properties dialog yields and icon that is obviously converted to 16 colors, and looks awful.
This is VB 10 Express.
Followed the wise advide to take this home, edit and convert it there.
Gimp#home at work.
Worked fine, looks great.
A codeless solution is better than no solution at all :-)
