I created a simple VB 6 executable that runs fine on my computer (Windows 7), but when I deploy it to another Windows 7 PC or a Windows 2003 server, I get the error:
"Runtime Error 430: Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface".
The code
Private Sub cmdStart_Click()
Dim rstLogin As ADODB.Recordset
MsgBox ("Before first recordset")
Set rstLogin = New ADODB.Recordset
MsgBox ("After first recordset")
End Sub
The line that generates the error is " Set rstLogin = New ADODB.Recordset". I had a coworker compile it from his Windows 7 pc and run it on other machiens and it works fine. So I believe it's an issue with my pc config.

ASP.net app inserts Microsoft Windows 2007 .docx file into a row on DB2 OS/390 Blob table. A different VB.net app gets the DB2 OS/390 Blob data. VB.net app kicks off Microsoft Word to open the .docx file but then Microsoft Word pops up a message that the data is corrupted. Word will allow you to fix the data so the file can be viewed but it is extra steps and users complain.I've seen some examples where .docx can be converted to .doc but they only talk about stripping out the text. Some of our .docx have pictures in them.

I use VS 2005 and VB.NET. I have a class A. This class A is an empty class(no functions, no members). I wrote the following code: Dim _a as new A(); Dim code as String = _a.GetCode() In the same situation, the C# refactoring tool in VS 2005 IDE propose me to create a method in the A class internal string GetCode(){ }
The VB.NET compiles does not propose anything. There is a way to implement the functions when I need it in code, or I need to planify all my methods before using the class?
I am currently learning vb.net for my new job and I have mixed feelings over public fields. I see many arguments about them hurting the encapsulation. In python, the common practice is to keep things simple and use fields when they are enough. If we want to add logic later, we just refactor them into a property without breaking anything for the client code.In the codebase I am working with I see huge classes containing dozen of properties like:

I recently started a project and needed to do some integration with LDAP via DirectoryServices. I've done this in other apps so I went into one of them to see how I did it -- why reinvent the wheel right? Well, while this wheel works, it was developed years ago and kinda smells (it's wooden, firmly attached to the previous vehicle, hard to repair and produces a potentially bumpy ride).So I thought to myself, this is the perfect time to refactor this puppy and make it more portable, reusable, reliable, easier to configure etc. Now that's fine and dandy, but then I started feeling a tad overwhelmed regarding to where to start. Should it be a separate library? How should it be configured? Should it use IoC? DI?
So my [admittedly subjective] question is this -- given a relatively small, but quite useful class like the one below, what is a good approach to refactoring it? What questions do you ask and how do you decide what to implement or not implement? Where do you draw the line regarding configuration flexibility? [Note: Please don't bash this code too much okay? It was written a long time ago and has functioned perfectly well baked into an in house application.]

I have a class that I wrote fairly early on in my vb.net programming experience which inherited from another class it really should have composed. The base class is a relatively generic nested dictionary-based collection; let's call the descendant class a "Car".Right now there's a lot of code that does things like 'MyCar!Color.st = "Red"' (I use the generic collection rather than real properties to facilitate data interchange with code written in VB6, and also to facilitate comparisons of cars; given three cars X, Y, Z, I can e.g. detect any changes between X and Y and apply those changes to Z).
Is there any nice way to refactor the code to use composition rather than inheritance?Which properties methods should the "Car" object wrap, and which ones should be accessed through a data-object property? Should a widening conversion be defined between a car and the collection object? Are there any gotchas when doing such refactoring?
I've been working to refactor my code and ended up with a quite clean main BLL class that has only a few manager classes that pass information between eachother. They handle separate tasks/areas like socket connection, data, etc. It's only one instance of each of these manager objects, so I believe maybe the base layout is a structural singleton (?) ..but not sure. This seems to give quite good oversight and a clean separation of PL/BLL as the main form only access the BLL through one instance of a single class. But now I'm trying to figure out how to lay out the presentation layer. So with this I would like to understand a few points: Do you have all controls as members of the form class, or can you make sub classes where some controls only exist on lower levels? Like for example if you have a tab where all controls only interact with each other, and not the rest of the form, would it then be possible to make this a separate class that holds both controls and additional logic ? The first problem I get when trying this is with the events, as if I simply move an event handler method to another class than the form class, I get the message: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types.What does this mean? and is there an easy way around this? I would like to understand how a slightly more complex PL is designed, so I know what direction to move in for studying/developing this.

All the refactoring tools for C# and VB.Net that I have seen only consider the source code in a single visual studio solution.For better or worse, our large (many related programs) system is spread over many solution files, however:All the code is below a single windows folder. Our nAnt based build system, builds all files in a windows folder to produce a single dll (bit more complex then this but not important for this question).Therefore ALL ".cs" and ".vb" files below the single root folder are part of the system.
So I am looking for refactoring and reverse engineering tools that take a single folder as input and act on all files below that folder.(The tools may need some help to decide what "public" and "internal" means, however most of the time "internal" means "in the same code tree" when a "code tree" is a folder that contains code and any child folders.)Now I am being greedy, I would like the tools to create a lot of all the refactorings that have been done and to be able to replay the refactorings. Then I could try out ideal and if they work, throw away my code, get the latest code, you do the refactorings and checkin the code before anyone else changes the files. (Likewise for when branches need merging)

How do I fix txn being nothing / null? The error is: Variable 'txn' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime. Edit: to RichardOD for pointing out that you can not explicitly declare that a transaction cannot be opend up on stored procedures via ODP.NET. I have verified that this is an issue. BUT We still haven't figured out why the error is occuring. I understand that txn is initially given a value w/in an if statement, but being defined outside of the try/catch block should make that irrelevant.... right? Or is that bad coding?
