I agree to you word by word. What the hell has happened to UI design. Especially VS.

it indeed was helpful to me,too!

:sigh: this is how computers are designed ! And still IT industry earns a lot from softwares ! Perhaps laws make them buy legal one ! But i think msft should do something , even a little do make .NET exes safe from usual crackers ! :-\

wana come to sunset point? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Classic theme is the best performer.I use it on my xp machines and on seven its aero.No place for vista. :)

You can use Application Settings to save properties of the objects like Textbox.Text or any other...

Ok, Now I am getting the matter.So only the cmd itself has the context menu ! Thankyou very much for sharing your knowledge :)

Let me explain my problem.I have made one exe of console programs namely a.exe.Now when I run the a.exe by double clicking on it ,it opens a usual console window and runs further in it.Now the window that just opened doesn't have the contex menu.You may have seen the one in the orignal cmd.exe.I am NOT refering to that when we right click on titlebar but the one when we click on the black area in cmd.

neither does cmd, the menu comes from the window where cmd runs

So is there a way to bring that in mine a.exe program so that when I right click ,it popus up.The menu generally useful because it contains comands like paste and find etc. :confused: And,

Hi everyone, I need help on two issue I faced during the making of my console program in .net(Any either C sharp or VB.NET). (1)1st is that the console program I made doesn't have the basic contex menu like the cmd has one and pops up when we right click on anywhere on the black area.I want the same or something similar to that one.How should I proceed? (2)2nd is when we launch a cmd program from cmd itself the program runs in the same window as of the cmd's own.Like if we run ping.exe then the cmd doesnt open a new window for it .Instead of that it simply runs the program in the same window.In my program I want to launch other console application(made by myself) but not in other window but the same of mine.How to do that? Any help in C# or VB will be helpful. Thanks in advance... Dan

Sorry but the same problem .I followed the same steps you wrote ! :doh:

Thanks, Dan

Hi everyone, In one of my project I have to work with embedded resources in VB.NET. I have 2 Problems: (1) In my project I have added a 5 MB movie file as a resource. Now I want to copy that one to localdisk "C:\sample.avi". I wrote the following code. But I don't know what to use in place of "x" where "x" is the path of the file to copy. Any suggestions? Code: Imports System.Io Button1_click() File.copy("x","C:\sample.avi") End sub So in short I want to know what is the path of that file? (2) How to do the same with more than one files. I want to copy them all (at least 6 files!) to localdisk. Can anyone suggest the code for it ? I will be helpful to me. Thanks, Dan
