XML Specification In short, XML is a structured document, conforming to a schema. Unfortunatly tumblr does not provide this schema (an XSD). XmlDocument class When you load an XML document into an XmlDocument instance it creates an XmlNode for every tag encountered and adds it as a childnode to its parent. To traverse all nodes you start at the XmlDocument instance (it actually is an XmlNode itself!). The HasChildren property indicates whether the node has children, you can iterate over the ChildNodes collection to get the nodes (which can also have children themselve). A node also has an Attributes collection which contains things like name, ID, type etc. that you see in the tags of the XML file To find specific node(s) there are methods like SelectNodes and SelectSingleNode. These methods use XPath syntax. It's possible to generate a classmodel for use in your program. You need to locate XSD.exe, it's somewhere in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\...\bin" This utily can generate an XSD schema from an XML file and a .vb classfile from the XSD. So capture the output from http://(USER).tumblr.com/api/read, save as xxxx.xml and feed the file to XSD.exe. Then feed xxxx.xsd to XSD.exe in add the resulting xxxx.vb to your project. Make sure that the captured XML contains all tags and attributes described on the tumblr/api page

Thanks, this looks quite helpful, i will get to work on this :) Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles

I agree, it depends on the context. You can tell people to mention "buzzwords" in an interview to achieve better results at the same time as feeling important that you used the word buzzword. In reality these are all cliche buzzwords.

There is another reason i've seen pele vote bad. They go to the article expecting one thing and because the article isn't exactly what they wanted suddenly they think its a crap article. Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles

i don't know, if this is what you are looking for, but i found that piece of vb.net-code on a cd: Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" Alias "GetDC" (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As IntPtr Private Declare Function ReleaseDC Lib "user32" Alias "ReleaseDC" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal hdc As IntPtr) As Integer Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3) Dim dc As IntPtr Dim g As Graphics Dim rnd As New Random() Dim i As Integer dc = GetDC(0) g = Graphics.FromHdc(dc) For i = 0 To 1000 g.DrawLine(blackPen, rnd.Next(600), rnd.Next(600), rnd.Next(600), rnd.Next(600)) Next g.Dispose() ReleaseDC(0, dc) End Sub click on the button to draw a bunch of lines to the screen, independent of your form. is this of any help?

Problem Solved, there was a slight error in the way i dealt with the filename. Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles

Reckon you need to use a for loop ( not for each ) so you can remove items from the existing controls collection, on the basis that I doubt a control can exist in two at the same time.

But still, i don't know if it will help, maybe it will. we'll see AFAIK it is intended for such use, but again I never did it: when Controls don't do what I want, I usually tackle the problem with fewer of them (the "lightweight" approach), avoiding the fight, rather than more of them and/or UserControls. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] this months tips: - use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

yeh pretty frustrating. That's a decent answer thankyou. Finally someone responds. Ok will get into the research more, it's not an easy thing to track down and kill tho, a decent desk band sample that is. They are very sparse, evin in the more complex language forms, and virtually none exist in vb except for people suggesting a conversion of some dodgy c# one. Thanks again.
