  Hello, I'm working on a program that was recently (successfully) converted from VB6 to VB2005 Express Edition. I'm trying to read in unsigned short integers (16-b, UShort) from a binary file.

• Gerald_Schinagl Upgrading from vb6: Dim as New is VERY different

  In Vb6, Dim myvar as New MyType would check whether myvar was Nothing at each reference and reinitialise it if neessary. Obviously this isnt the case with Vb.NET, and if the variable has been set to Nothing in the mean time then it will have a value of nothing causing an exception. Anybody got any clever ways of resolving this one (there are quite a lot of instances of this in the app I have been asked to upgrade) You could create a ...Show All

• swarmt ToolStripStatusLabels

  How do you make a ToolStripStatusLabel have a ' CAPS ' feature (like, say, if CAPS LOCK is on, it'll say CAPS in black, but if it's off, it'll say CAPS in gray ) Wouldn't that drain on the RAM and slow down the application (and even the entire computer) I can only partially answer your question. My.Computer.KeyBoard.CapsLock is a boolean type property. It will tell you the status of the Caps Lock Key. But I can't tell you how you ...Show All
