Hi,
I have checked quite a few sites and articles but am not able to figure out how to solve my problem. The problem is:
I am creating a setup for a project. In that I want to include 2 more EXEs which will perform while the setup is run. 1. Wirting Serial number into the registry and 2. Installation of MySql.
I have tried with Custom Action but it copies the Serial Number Registration EXE in the folder where the installation is taking place. This I don't want. It should run the file and then remove it.
If anybody can help me in this I will be obliged.

That's OK - add another custom action which runs that executable, and one more which removes it.
As for the MySQL installation, you could try a precondition for your setup.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that but the setup gets abandoned once I remove the EXE.

I think he meant add an action that removes the exe after set-up is complete..

I just found out a VB.NET DLL application was not, as I thought, put into SourceSafe. I do have the complied code (DLL, PDB, XML). Is there anyway I can recover the bulk of the original .NET code?
The folders were supposed to be backed up, but obviously weren't...
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Download JetBrains DotPeek[^], it has an option for decompiling back to a project. As long as the original project wasn't obfuscated it should produce workable (or close to it) code.
Edit: JetBrains produces C# code, you can use any number of C# to VB converters to convert it back to VB.

Thanks for the information; working on the recovery and will advise of my results.

Hello all!
I am working on a program that I hope will get me more familiar with Visual Basic. I have done lots of programming in other languages, and tons of VBA programming, but this is the first time I am trying to make something completely in VB.
The project is a screensaver that displays photos from a specified folder. The photos should pan and zoom in a pleasing fashion. Eventually I would like to add a fade effect between photos.
To get started I found an excellent photo screensaver project here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vbteam/archive/2009/01/23/an-updated-screensaver-example-matt-gertz.aspx?Redirected=true[^]
Matt Gertz put together a fantastic project that does almost exactly what I want. So I modified the code a bit and use a second timer(1ms) on the form to control the animation of the images. Clearly I have no idea what I am doing, but I did get the basic sliding and zooming effects using things like:
Me.PictureBox1.Left = Me.PictureBox1.Left - 1
Me.PictureBox1.Height = Me.PictureBox1.Height + 1
Me.PictureBox1.Width = CInt(Me.PictureBox1.Height * SizeRatio)
Now that I have thoroughly wet my toes in VB, I wanted to stop in and ask the experts. I know that I am going about this image moving thing all wrong. I should probably be using some kind of ActiveX or OpenGL, or some other graphics engine.
Would any of you be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Some sample VB projects would be immensely helpful.
In the meantime I will continue to play around with this. There are many flaws that I am happy to discuss if anyone wants. I could send the entire project I have edited if it would be helpful.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to your replies.
Nate
(It's probably worth mentioning that I am running VB Express 2010 on Windows 7 64 Pro.)

Nope, sounds like a good idea to use controls for this purpose. They're not optimized to be animated though. There's a different set that is, but more on that at the end of this post.
Alternatively, you could check out the forms' properties; it has an OnPaint[^] handler that you can override. You could nicely draw a bitmap offscreen (in a separate thread) and paint it when ready.
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(e As PaintEventArgs)
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
Using b = _generation.GenerateBitmap()
e.Graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor
e.Graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.Half
e.Graphics.DrawImage(b, 0, 0, Width, Height)
End Using
End Sub

You'd like to dive into the world of WPF[^]. It also uses Forms and Controls, but these are a bit more modern, and rendered using DirectX. Additionally there'll be easier animations, gradients and more of the like 
Found two articles on CodeProject related to WPF Screensavers, but both are aiming at C#. There's no specific example for VB.NET (hint, hint)

Thanks for the info Eddy! Are you suggesting that VB probably isn't the best way to program a screensaver? LOL I have always hated C, but I can pick it back up if I need to. If I can make this program work it would be much easier since the majority of it has already been written for me!

You're welcome

Depends on what you are doing; it's not VB that's slowing your graphics down, but WinForms.

Thanks again. Can you help me understand this a bit more? How is WinForms slowing the graphics, and how can I skip it?
I think that I should not be using the form timer for animations this seems hacky, and there is not much control over speed or framerate.
I would love to get this working in an ideal way with VB. I already have a solid working example that I would love to post for critique. Is anyone willing to help me fine tune this program a bit? And how can I post an example project here (if that is allowed)?
