I have compiled a simple application (host & client) that allows me to control my windows media player with my pocket PC. In the application, the port number is hardcoded into the program. How do I setup and import a configuration file that will allow me to modify this port number without having to recode and recompile the program? (i.e. a flat file that has an entry like "soapport=9000")

Does the button.image property embed the image into the square/rectangular button or use just the image (i.e. will a circle be a circular button or be a circle in a square?). I guess that also begs the question, where do I define the "unclicked" image and the "clicked" image (a second graphic showing the button "depressed")?

Hello to all!! I'm a newbie to VB. I've used it many times in Excel, but I've recently loaded Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise architect and it's WAY different!! I apologize in advance for dumb questions I may ask! On to my question: How do I create custom-looking command buttons that I've created graphics for? Also, what's the best format for the graphics to be in - gif? Thanks in advance for your help and patience...
