I am having a problem with changing an image using the "Image.FromFile(Path)" method. On startup, everything works fine, but as soon as I use the "openFileDialog" box, the system won't open the selected image any longer.
Every time the mouse hovers over a button, I want it to change the image of the button. This works even after opening another form and closing it again. But as soon as I select an image using the "openFileDialog" box then the system crashes out every time I hover over one of the buttons that I want the image changed.
After using the "OpenFileDialog" box, I dispose of it, in an attempt for it not to clash with Hover methods.
What can I do to avoid this problem?

What buttons?? In the OpenFileDialog??
EvanSaunders wrote: that I want the image changed.
The OpenFileDialog doesnt' fire off any events, so I don't know where you're changing whatever image.
What's the exception that's thrown?? Does your entire system crash (Windows), or just your app??

I have the buttons in my main menu...(the openfiledialog box is in a form opened by the main menu)
I choose an imagefile from the opendialog box to load an image on another form for another task, but as soon as I do this, and go back to the main menu, my main menu hover buttons won't change images any longer.
The exception thrown is that my created system crashes with the exception that the image path doesn't exist. Strange exception seeing that it loaded before...

I still don't know exactly what your code is doing, nor if the button in your main menu (which are not buttons BTW) are the same as your "hover buttons" (whatever those are...), but...
If you loaded the file with Image.FromFile(), or anything else like that, the file get's locked for the lifetime of the object that loaded it.
You might want to take a look at this[^] for a way around that lock.

Hover Buttons are, as explained, normal buttons. The reason I call them that is because I have a method for changing their image when the mouse hovers over a particular button. Thanks anyway for trying to help...;P

The situation is not clear, and you did not show any code. So the following is a wild guess,
i.e. the facts are correct, whether they apply to your situation is uncertain:
Image.FromFile() keeps the file open for as long as the image lives (the reason is
some image files, such as JPEG, contain additional information, which remains available
to GetPropertyItem() but is not loaded into memory permanently).
There are two ways to resolve this:
1. don't use FromFile(), use FromStream() instead.
2. immediately make an image copy for use inside your app, and Dispose of the original image,
freeing the file.
Hope this helps.

I get what you are saying...I figured out an easier way to keep the information, using your logic...
I loaded the images into the resources folder, and then when I change the image of a button when hovered over by the mouse, I can just call it from the resources directly.
Apperantly, when loading the project/system, the default directory is set to the ../bin/debug/ folder. When using the OpenFileDialog, the default directory is then changed, which doesn't allow me to select an image implicitly the way I was doing it.
Thanks for the trouble

Sometimes. If you create a desktop shortcut, you can choose the initial "current directory"
to be any existing directory.

Sometimes. The File Dialogs have a property that controls whether the current directory
gets changed permanently or not.

Thanx, I'll check if setting property to "false", in regards to the current directory.

I had no idea you were changing the images on the buttons using Image.FromFile().
This is definitely the proper way to go when dealing with the images on controls like you are. Loading from resources is quicker than loading from files as the mouse passes over them.
EvanSaunders wrote: Apperantly, when loading the project/system, the default directory is set to the ../bin/debug/ folder.
The CurrentDirectory is set to whatever folder the .EXE was launched from. The problem you, apparently, ran into is that you used relative paths (actually, NO path) in your code to load the image files. When the CurrentDirectory changed, so did the path that your code assumed was the correct path to find those image files.
It's good practice to always build and use fully qualified paths to any files that your app uses. An example of such:
Dim imageFilepath As String = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "image.bmp")
This code doesn't rely on the current directory at all. It relys on a known path that cannot change during the lifetime of the applications session and just appends the filename to this known path. The CurrentDirectory can change all it wants and it won't affect this code.

can somebody explain the code for me? I will appreciate for the help...
the following code is some part of the example that i take from internet,and i not really understand on it...

Perhaps if you specify what it is about the code that you don't understand. I don't think that anyone wants to explain what every single line of the code does...

Some of the code is dealing with hexadecimal numbers that get received in ASCII and decoded.
The constants 32, 48, 10, 13 are space, zero, carriagereturn and linefeed, and should
not be there in numeric form at all.
The code is amateuristic and should not be taken as an example.
There is plenty of good code on CodeProject. Read some of the articles relevant to you.

I want to run my program in the background and be loaded by clicking on the exe file. I don't want to load a visible form. Would I do the console application or is there a different way to do this? My goal is to load my program for demo purposes. I want it to be transparent to the user. It will sit and listen a certain port. But, it has been a long time I looked into main procedures. And that was in C++. I searched using my subject and did not find any articles. Please help me if you can. Thanks.
Ex: instead of running my program and having frmLoad run. I want main to run and run my program until closed.

No, a console application will produce a console window.
You could use a Windows forms application, but just don't instantiate the form.
Alternatively, you could create a windows service.

Folks, I want to declare a structure in C exactly into VB.NET. I had a problem dealing with the dimension of Char as I did not know how to declare them in VB.NET.
So can someone please give me the translated code for the structure below. Important aspect is that I will have to use the EXACT dimension to the Char array. The C structure is defined as shown below
typedef struct _IndexTransaction
{
TCHAR MsgDirPath[MAX_PATH];
DWORD dwMsgTime;
DWORD dwMsgSize;
TCHAR MsgEntryId[256];
TCHAR MsgFolderPath[256];
TCHAR MsgRecSet[32];
TCHAR MsgVolume[32];
} IndexTransaction, *pIndexTransaction;
Thanks in advance. Look forward for your responses.
Ravi
