Yes, there is, a long as you’re using VB 9 or later (included with Visual Studio 2008). You can use the version of the If operator overloaded to accept only two arguments: Dim myVar? As Integer = Nothing Console.WriteLine(If(myVar, 7)) More information can be found here in a blog post by the VB.NET team. (Yes, … Read more

Instead, it means that it will display it’s parent object instead of it’s background, including it’s background, images and text, but not including any other controls on it, hence your problem.

The “Operator Information Area” class seems to provide a solution for this problem. My general case seems to be working correctly with this implementation: Friend Sub PutTextWithEnter(ByVal field As FieldDefinition, ByVal value As String) If IsNothing(field) Then Throw New ArgumentNullException(“field”) If IsNothing(value) Then Throw New ArgumentNullException(“value”) _Presentation.SendKeys(Mid(value.Trim, 1, field.Length).PadRight(field.Length) & “[enter]”, field.Row, field.Column) WaitForEmulator(_Session.Handle) End … Read more

Then at intervals you can provide updates for the ProgressBar/Form using the built-in ReportProgress method. Normally, you cannot (directly) access UI controls, like a ProgressBar, from a thread other than … Read more
