This is why I so GD hate .Net.
Everything was working fine as I was working some code and then I get two types of error messages that are so Fing verbose they tell me nothing but that whoever wrote the damn messages gets high off abusing the English language because he thinks it makes him look smart.
The errors are:
Which tells me nothing because either recommended action solves nothing!
...and another talking about
And people say how wonderfully better vb.Net is compared to vb6.
1. Please tell me what is so wonderful about a programming language that it can get so easily screwed up this way, where the previous language never had any issues at all?
2. Tell me how good can a newer language be when if you delete a button on a form, it can't hitch back up to the procedure that it is connected to?
3. Someone PLEEEASE explain to me how good a newer language can be when running certain operations in a form load procedure can throw "invisible" exceptions that don't get trapped?
4. Show me how a newer language can sample a point of color on a control with obj.Point(), where the newer one makes you have to do:
5. Someone please tell me why every time I set up my forms and code tabs all nice and where I want them, that the newer language forgets everything the next time I open the project, simply because I changed the name of the folder. How stupid can a language be if it can't see that all of the project's resources are all still contained within the same folder. Do I cease to function just because a room that used to be painted white is now painted blue?! J Fing C!
6. Please tell me how a "Cancel" button's click procedure event fires normally, with errors in it (variables that aren't declared yet, but also aren't referenced anywhere yet), but an "OK" button's click procedure won't fire at all when all that is in it is "Me.Close()"!
If this is someone's definition of a better, "new and improved" language, then I guess the concept of productivity is passe.
Believe me, I can keep adding more items till the RTB can't hold anymore characters, but it's late and I'm tired of having wasted 1 hour on a problem that shouldn't even exist.

Code:
Function PickColor() As Color

Dim Bit As New Bitmap(rBT.Width, rBT.Height, Imaging.PixelFormat.Format64bppPArgb)
Dim g As Graphics
g = Graphics.FromImage(Bit)
Using g
g.CopyFromScreen(Cursor.Position, Point.Empty, rBT.Size)
End Using
Dim PixelColor As Color = Bit.GetPixel(0, 0)
Return PixelColor
