    When I started working on a program today, suddenly the debug checkpoints (Red dot on left by linenumbers) DONT'T WORK. I am trying to find the cause of "Argument out of range exception was unhandled" error, but without the checkpoint I can't find the cause. How can I turn the debug checkpoints...

    Thanks for your help. I made several attempts to download different files that I found online, and now I have a control called "Chart1". Is this the same as "MSCHART", or is it a scaled down, earlier version?

    How to print RichTextbox with colored parts

    While doing more searchs on the net I found a few solutions, most were very long and dense. But the simple way of getting it printed is to save the rtf to a file, thusly: Private Sub btnSaveRTF_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveRTF.Click...

    Listbox Sort not working as intended

    Thanks, Bluejay07. Then that means the control is converting everything to lower case to determine the sort sequence. I knew that search engines and the internet in general did that; didn't know VB2008 also does. But it used to work the way I wanted it to, until I rebuilt the program a few...

    Ghost images on saved image

    I discovered the cause of the 'ghost' lines. To move a line, for example, each time I dragged one end of the line, the programs first erased the old line by redrawing the line using the Form's Backcolor: g.DrawLine(penBackColor, .Loc1, .Loc2) and then drawing the object in the new location...
