Hello,
I apologize for posting this here but I can't get any response to a question
on the VStudio group so I thought I would post this question here. The
Access groups are usually the best source of help for any kind of question
under the sun. I want to do a website slideshow (it was easy with Access)
and can't get the images to refresh. Here is the VB code I used:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim i As Integer
'For i = 1 To 812
For i = 1 To 6
txtImageNumber.Text = i
imgMain.ImageUrl = "~/Chucky/pics/" & i & "small.jpg"
'Control the speed
Dim start, finish As Double
start = Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Timer
'Set end time for 1-second duration.
finish = start + 2.0
Do While Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime.Timer < finish
' Nothing
Loop
Beep() 'Test
Next i
End Sub
The images are labeled 1small.jpg to 812small.jpg. The file name is
constructed and updates the ImageURL property of a pictureframe control
(like an unbound picture frame in Access)
The problem is that the picture frame doesn't refresh during the
iteraration, but on the last picture. In this case the 6th picture. If I
itereated through all 812 pics it would refresh on 812small.jpg. There
doesn't seem to be any method like Me.Repaint available to repaint the
screen. Does anyone have any experience in this area?
Thank you for any help and God Bless,
Mark A. Sam

I would guess that you need an analog to
Function DoEvents() As Integer
Member of VBA.Interaction

Stefan,
It would seem like it, however to my knowledge and experience. DoEvents in
Access halts execution to allow outside programs to run, not processes in
Access. The closest thing in .Net that I could find is Postback, but I
can't find a way to use it. Maybe it can't be done.
God Bless,
Mark

What about that:
Public Shared Sub DoEvents()
Member of System.Windows.Forms.Application
mfG

I guess I'm not following you. It looks like you are offering a solution,
but I don't know how to implement it. My app is on a website, not a
desktop.

Ok. What kind of application do you have? ASP.NET?

Just browsing through trying to solve a problem of my own, but I will take a
stab at an answer - which you probably won't like...
Rendering of your images takes place after you exit your routine, which can
be overcome fairly easily in a Windows application. But, as you stated, you
are writing a web application, and that is a little more problematic because
it hard to trade control back and forth between the browser and your .NET
script. What you need is a control that renders independently from your
browser.
PowerPoint has a viewer that will do this for you on a web page. Have you
considered putting individual slides into a PowerPoint presentation and run
the slideshow with a timer between each slide?

There are so many .Net's that I don't really know how to classify it. I use
Visual Web Developer 2005 and publish onto a server which used .Net
Framework 3.0.

Clay,
This started out at a Powerpoint slideshow, but I couldn't get that to
Autorun and no one from the Powerpoint group had an answer so I did it in
Access. I should have done that in the first place, but didn't know enough
about Powerpoint to know that I couldn't have done it much better in Access.
Then the client asked for it to be on a website. No problem, except getting
it to autorun. I don't really need this functionality, but I thought I'd
like to be consistent and have the same functionality. My web app as it
stands is as good as a powerpoint presentation, and if I couldn't get
powerpoint to autorun on a desktop, I doubt it will on the website.
God Bless,
Mark
