I have written a code to give a sliding effect to 5 command buttons. It runs fine with default background but when i change the opacity of the form OR put a picture in the background it behaves slower rather much slower than what it does normally. What might be the issue? Any ideas to resolve it. Here is the code.
Public Class Form1
Dim slidevar As Integer = -10
Dim slidevar1 As Integer = -60
Dim slidevar2 As Integer = -120
Dim slidevar3 As Integer = -180
Dim slidevar4 As Integer = -240
Dim delayvar As Integer = -300
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Button1.Location = New Point(-1000, 10)
Button2.Location = New Point(-1000, 80)
Button3.Location = New Point(-1000, 120)
Button4.Location = New Point(-1000, 160)
Button5.Location = New Point(-1000, 200)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
End Sub
Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button.Click
slidevar = 0
slidevar1 = 0
slidevar2 = 0
slidevar3 = 0
slidevar4 = 0
Button1.Location = New Point(-1000, 10)
Button2.Location = New Point(-1000, 80)
Button3.Location = New Point(-1000, 120)
Button4.Location = New Point(-1000, 160)
Button5.Location = New Point(-1000, 200)
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If slidevar < 65 Then
Button1.Location = New Point(slidevar, 10)
slidevar += 6
If slidevar4 > 65 Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
End If
End If
For delayvar = 1 To 100
Next
If slidevar1 < 65 Then
Button2.Location = New Point(slidevar1, 80)
slidevar1 += 5
End If
For delayvar = 1 To 100
Next
If slidevar2 < 65 Then
Button3.Location = New Point(slidevar2, 120)
slidevar2 += 4
End If
For delayvar = 1 To 100
Next
If slidevar3 < 65 Then
Button4.Location = New Point(slidevar3, 160)
slidevar3 += 3
End If
For delayvar = 1 To 100
Next
If slidevar4 < 65 Then
Button5.Location = New Point(slidevar4, 200)
slidevar4 += 2
End If
End Sub
End Class

you have already asked this question in QA[^]
What have you tried since then?

Hello !
I'm starting to create a project with Vb.net 2010 and SQl server 2008r2.I don't know what to choose dataset or Entity framework ?
Another question :Are these both compatible with crystal reports ?
Thank you.
|

The two choices are not interchangable. You also haven't explained what you're app is going to be doing at all so it's impossible to say.
You're asking "Should I use these two bolts to build my project (DataSet)? Or use everything in this machine shop supply store (Entity Framework)?"
Neither of these has anything to do with Crystal Reports. CR gets its data from the database, not from the objects that make up and manage your data model.

i try to create a data source on vb.net and there are 2 options : Dataset or Entity Data model ?
So how to decide which is the best choice ?
Someone can describe some avantages and disavantages on both model ?
What i'm going to do ? Usual things that someone can do with database :
Read , Write , Modify , Display , bound controls .... Sometimes with few records (50-10) , sometimes with much more (300-500)....
I read that if i choose one model i should continue with that , and can't use both models.
So what can i do ?
Thank you.

The "What are you going to do", was more a brief the application would be for.......

this application would be for a school managment (student personal data , results, financial data...

OK, If you've never used either of these, don't even think of trying the Entity Framework.
Seriously, if you don't know what each of them is, you really don't have the skill set to use either of them. I highly suggest picking up a book on ADO.NET and/or Entity Framework 4.x and work through them. If you don't, you're just going to put yourself through an awful lot of pain and make bad design decisions that will cause your project to fail.

thank you !
But i have create before a project using dataset.But i have read that entity framework is something new and better than dataset.And of course if entity framework is better than dataset , i will read some books before creating my project.
I want to know if possible some adavntages ( or disavantages ) of entity framework vs dataset ?
Or , if doesn't has importance what i know about both models , if a professionist have to choose : dataset or entity framework ? i like to know if possible your choice.
Thank you.

There is no "better". There is "appropriate".
What is appropriate for your application depends on your apps requirements, specifications and expected load. If you're doing this for a school project, I would probably suggest using the smaller dataset methods.
Serisouly, we know NOTHING of your application so you are the only one who can make this decision. But, in order to do that, YOU have to understand the capabilities and limitations, pros and cons of each. Pickup a book and start reading.

ok. Can you suggest a book for beginners in entity framework ?
Thank you.

I have created a VB.NET app, a small mcq based quiz. Now when i run it on a different resolution than my PC then all the items(labels,textboxes etc) on the form get scattered.
How can we create resolution independent applications?
|

Windows Forms in .NET offers a great method variety of Autosizing, Docking and Align properties that should make it easier to get the positioning right for varying resolutions. You'll need to play around with them a bit to get a feel for it.
Alternatively, if these don't offer enough power, you'll need to write your own control-positioning/sizing code in the Resize event for the form.
|
|

Try Anchoring or Docking[^] your controls. Remember, the Anchor and Dock properties are mutually exclusive. Only one can be set at a time, and the last one set takes precedence.
Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.
My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done!

Hi guys
I am busy with a vb application that passes text to Ms Word , How does one specify where the text must be placed
eg. I have a template of a contract , I want the application to search the contract template word document and place the date at a specific place
cheers

I used a "search and replace" concept to do what you are describing.
1) Use something like [%0], [%1], etc to indicate that you want certain fields replaced in your text with parameters; starting with parameter zero, parameter one, two, etc
2) Now you just invoke your search and replace logic as many times as you need to "merge" the variable data with your "static" MS-Word document.
Seems to work for me. 
Good luck.

Hi all...
I have made a program in VB.NET(VS 2008) to start a cmd.exe process using Process class.
Code is running perfectly on 32-bit Windows but when I am trying to run same code on 64-bit Windows 7 it is giving an error message that process file not found.
I compiled code for ANY CPU, x32 and x64 and tested separately on 64-bit OS but getting same error message.
Suggest me what should I do.
Thanks.
Gagan

I don't see why that was downvoted, but as mentioned above, more information is required.

I have a problem on passing value from Main Form to 2nd Form. Actually, I have a 2nd Form on the SplitContainer and the SplitContainer is placed inside the Main form.
What I want to do is Click the Button on the 2nd Form from the Button on the Main Form.
Thanks in advance.

If you move the code out of the button Click event handler and into it's own method, you'll have a much easier time calling that code from other classes (Forms).
