Book Reviews of Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for starters and pro alike. But you need to keep your mind open as you do the exercises. For instance i encountered this problem while i was doing MyCheckBox exercise. The author gave the code in the book as
If CheckBox1.Checkstate = 1 Then
PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile _
("c:\vb08sbs\chap03\calcultr")
PictureBox1.Visible =True
Else
PictureBox1.Visible = False
End IF
and
If CheckBox2.Checkstate = 1 Then
PictureBox2.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile _
("c:\vb08sbs\chap03\copymach")
PictureBox2.Visible =True
Else
PictureBox2.Visible = False
End IF
I got this kind of message while trying to debug the program
"A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll"
the code should have been given as
If CheckBox1.Checkstate = 1 Then
PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile _
("c:\vb08sbs\chap03\calcultr.bmp")
PictureBox1.Visible =True
Else
PictureBox1.Visible = False
End IF
and
If CheckBox2.Checkstate = 1 Then
PictureBox2.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile _
("c:\vb08sbs\chap03\copymach.bmp")
PictureBox2.Visible =True
Else
PictureBox2.Visible = False
End IF
instead.I could not figure out the problem at first until i compared the code i wrote with that of the completed exercise the author gave.
Another minor problem i encountered was in chapter 4 pg 116. The author assumes that we all are using a Microsoft Office suite that has Microsoft publishers file,but it was not the case for me as I am using Microsoft Office student and home edition which does not have Microsoft publishers files, so i was not able to complete this exercise as i was supposed to.
