O.P. Visual Basic 2008 - Reloading/Refreshing Same form
Ok so i have 1 form called Form1.

There is a button on there called b2 and when that's clicked i need it to reload the whole form (form1). I can't figure out a way of doing this. If i do Form1.Exit() then load it or show i can't as it's gone and theres nothing to do it :P

So how can i reload the form?

reload? like start afresh?
Form1.Refresh() not what you want?

or hide it and show it?
Form1.Hide()
Form1.Show()


edit: but in vb2008 you should use me if you are calling it from that form :)

so

Me.Refresh()
Me.Hide()
etc

Ok, i did me.refresh but it's no reloading all the things in the form.

When the form stats it pings 5 servers and displays if there online or offline. I need it to reload it so it pings them i again. This can be done by refreshing the form right?

When i do me.refresh() it does not reload the results :S

I believe this will be due to Refresh() only refreshing the graphical elements of the form. If you want to rerun code you'll want to make the button perform a Call function.

However this won't empty the listbox(i presume that's what you're using) and will just append the results to it, you'll need to clear it first.

put the ping'ing stuff, loading list box etc in a procedure.

call the procedure on form load, call it again after the button press?

Yeah, basically.

code:
Public Class form1

   Private sub Ping()
  -code-
   End Sub

   Private sub Button_Click() Handles Button.Click
   Call Ping()
   End Sub


That's very basic, but something like that.

Ok well the code for that form starts like

code:
Private Sub main1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Then my

code:
If My.Computer.Network.Ping("xx.xxx.xx.xx") Then
            PictureBox1.Show()
        Else
            PictureBox10.Show()
        End If

(there more than one)

It ends with the usual

code:
End Sub

How do i add it in? I can't seem to do it without errors :P :S

Ok, i've got it partly working.

When the form loads this command is given:

code:
Call Ping()


And when the button is pressed that does the same command.

The code inside Ping() pings a server and makes a image visible if it gets a response or else makes an image next to it visible if there no response.

But if all servers are online there will be a list of images visable. Fair enough untill i refresh that list by pressing the button with

Call Ping()

in it and if a server is offline it will make the offline and online image active.

Do you get me.

So when the form loads there is

1 IMAGE
2 IMAGE
3 IMAGE
4 IMAGE
5 IMAGE

And if i refresh and one goes offline its like

1 IMAGE
2 IMAGE IMAGE
3 IMAGE
4 IMAGE
5 IMAGE

When i need it to be

1 IMAGE
2              IMAGE
3 IMAGE
4 IMAGE
5 IMAGE
