Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmer's Cookbook (Pro-Developer)
Finally, a book with one-stop shopping for VB.NET! I’ve read several cookbook-style programming titles in the past, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this has much more depth than I expected. It can’t cover everything (.NET is huge), but every time I pick the book up I learn something new. There are so many highlights–just browse through the table of contents and you’ll see what I mean! Here are some of my favorites: * Send keystrokes to another app * Create a thread-safe control wrapper * Great data-binding tips (image-to-picture box, etc.) * Factory, Registry, Singleton, Memento, and Lazy Initialization patterns * POP3, FTP, and Ping classes in the networking section * How to change a password into a salted hash for storage in a database * Use ZIP and PDF files (disclaimer: some third-party code is required, although it’s free) * Manage print jobs that are underway * Get Windows accounts and roles * Do hit testing with custom graphics * Defend against SQL injection * Dynamically generate an ASP.NET graphic * Add ASP.NET controls on the fly * MAPI and MCI (unfortunately, just through the ActiveX controls) * Upload binary data with a web service * Use a web service in VB 6

How to show and hide your form in windows system tray.
1. Add NotifyIcon class in your project (System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon) and drag it into form.
2. Change NotifyIcon properties.
BalloonTipIcon = Info BalloonTipText = Running Change Icon Text = Running Your Program Visible = True
3. Add code in Event Form1_Resize.
Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles MyBase.Resize ' If minimize form that will show in system tray. If System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Minimized = WindowState Then sysMonTray.ShowBalloonTip(5, "Running", "Running Your Program", ToolTipIcon.Info) Me.Hide() End If End Sub
4. Add code in Event NotifyIcon_Click to hide and show form.
Private Sub sysMonTray_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles sysMonTray.Click If Me.Visible Then Me.Hide() Else Me.Show() Me.ShowInTaskbar = True Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen End If
The two best methods for automatically launching a program at startup are to use the registry or the system's Startup folder. Which method you choose depends on how easy you want to make it for the user to remove the program if he or she decides that it shouldn't run at system startup. Using the Startup folder gives the user more control; to prevent the program from running at startup, the user just has to remove its shortcut from the folder. Using the registry makes it less accessible; the user will have to be familiar with the structure of the registry and will have to know how to use an editing tool like RegEdit in order to prevent the application from running at startup. Sample Code.
'Write to register Dim regKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKeyregKey regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True) regKey.SetValue("YourApplicationName", "YourInstallPath") regKey.Close()
If you want to remove from register use this code.
Private Function CreatePictureArray(ByVal bImagePath As String) As Byte() Dim imgLogo As System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(bImagePath) Dim msLogo As New IO.MemoryStream() imgLogo.Save(msLogo, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
Return msLogo.ToArray() End Function
5. Convert image to byte array and bind to datarow.
' Create new row Dim dr As DataRow = ds.Tables(0).NewRow dr("Title") = "Mr" dr("FirstName") = "Tom" dr("LastName") = "Brown" dr("Address") = "Tom Address" dr("Picture") = CreatePictureArray("c:\person.jpg")
