Thank you greatly for the reply. To be honest, I think I already have CRAP for design. :) I will look into the book you mentioned. Basically, my application is content management. It's specific to a certain type of industry and they will be putting in people (in a database)and things that are associated with that person. I have looked at other programs for this and they look generic and come as stock control color winforms. For anyone that thinks they can code is up for a surprise when you want it to look professional and you don't know how to have your software look and feel.

Hi All -

First, I am not a designer. It's really hard for me to come up with a design for my applications. I am not sure if I should use tiles (like windows 8 / 10) or Ribbon Bars or Metro Forms or anything for that matters.

How do people come up with really good designs for the programs?

I do not want my program to look cheesy or generic but professional.

I have looked at different software designs on google but don't see what I can use.

Thanks everyone

I am a VB.NET Programmer learning C#. One of my applications I transfered over to C# via an online converion tool. I am receiving an error which I do not see why it's causing an error. What I have now is:

try {

		if (System.IO.File.Exists(srcedest) == false) {
			//My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName:=sheet.Cells(row, 14).value & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 15).value)
            My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName) sheet.Cells(row, 1).value;
			// & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 2).value & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 3).value)

		}

	} catch (Exception ex) {
		txtLog3.AppendText(sheet.Cells(row, 1).value);
		// & "\_" & sheet.Cells(row, 3).value & vbCrLf)
	}

With the error of "expecting ;" at the "sheet" in My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile((dest), newName) sheet.Cells(row, 1).value; Why would this cause an error since you don't put a ";" until the end of a statement? Thanks in advanced. daveofgv

Hello All - I have seen on this site Article 42852 / Reading-Barcodes-from-an-Image-III, however, this appears to only read the first page of a multipage tiff. I need to find something that can read all the pages (could be a 500 page tiff) for barcodes. Also, does anyone know of a sample project on this site (or any other site) with source code to do this and scan a folder of tiff images instead one at a time. Thanks in advanced.
