What Components Of .Net Framework Should A Professional Developer Typically Avoid
Apr 19, 2009
.Net is a huge framework with some functionality that appears to target beginners or becomes problematic if much customization is involved. So what functionality available in the .Net framework do you feel professional developers should avoid and why? For example, .Net has a wizard for common user management functions. Is using this functionality considered appropriate for professional use or a beginner only? One component/feature/class, etc per answer please so votes are specific to a single item.
Does it exist? Or is there some way to avoid these kinds of compatibility issues without having to have 2 separate components in 2 projects for 2 types of computers?
I am upgrading from VB6 and started working with VB.Net (VS2005). One problem I have was controls avilable in VB.Net. I can use a slider bar in VB6, but couldn't find any quivalent in VB.net(.Net Framework Components)!! I don't know why I can choose one in COM components, but these requires project generated DLL's to run. I want to distribute just the executable.My questions are:
-Is there any slider bar in VB.Net Framework Components?
-If there is none, Can I use COM component and bundle everything into one Executable? Also is it possible a list of controls in .Net as I find in vb6: url....

I have spent the past week trying to get my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Professional to work on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit laptop, with no avail.
Every time I try to create a new form using Visual Basic, an error message saying that Microsoft Resource File To COFF Object Conversion Utility has stopped working, and I cannot even run the new form to see if my coding is correct.
I have managed to find that it has something to do with the cvtres.exe file, but after a solid hour of research, I have found numerous others with a similar problem, but no solutions.
I have done registry scans, reinstalled Visual Studio about 3 times and have done many other suggested fixes that have done nothing but waste my time.
In CRUD application development we have to face the issues with concurencies in Ids such as Generate and display UNique EmployeeIDs on forms. Currently i'm writting .DLL file that has a class that will handle concurrencies.
But i'm puzziled with the Question, is this concurrency handle is part of the software developer or Database developer?

I want to use the original menu that all other applications use on my computer. How Can I use that menu? I have tried using the "old" ContextMenu control but It doesnt work with NotifyIcons, it only displays with other controls.
I'm a C# programmer who needs to pick up some VB. The syntax differences are easy enough to figure out, but there are other things I'll need more of a tutorial on. For example, VB's "strict" mode in Visual Studio is something essential to me, but something I wouldn't have learned just by comparing language syntax. Any recommendations on how to pick up VB quickly, yet thoroughly? I can't stand to work through a 1000 page book introducing VB to novices.
I need to get a copy of VB for work, and I need to tell the purchaser what to buy, but I can't figure out the difference between the Visual Studio Standard Edition and the Professional Edition except that the Pro Ed costs $500 more. What is the difference?What I need to do is generate a VB front-end to an Access DB, so I only need the VB language. Can the Visual Studio be purchased with all of the troubleshooting tools, such as debugger, but only contain VB?

My question is: how can I make something similar for my project? I'm programming in vb.net using visual studio 2010 professional. There is a tool already?
I have seen a similar thread. But it is not answered. The Auto uninstall tool link given in that answer is not working. I want to uninstall .Net Pro Trial and going to install express edition. can anyone please tell me the order of programs to be removed?. Or please give the link for Auto uninstall tool for .Net Pro 2010.
Note: I have some software which are based on .Net Framework. so I should not remove the Framework. Is it possible to install Express Edition without removing this Framework?.

I've seen some aplications developed with VB.net 2008. The layout of the forms and the entire application is amazing..The toolbars, is like office 2007. All the forms have a blue color, instead the horrible grey of the VB.net How can I do this?
Firstly Merry Christmas everyone I have been asked by a family member to create an application, but one thing that I have decided that I should do with this application is make the UI more professional.Up to now I have been creating applications which when I need more information I would open up a new form, but I would like to create an application which all is within the main form.
After researching this I think the solution for this is to have the different bits in different panels and then only show the relevant panels at a particular time.But the problem I am having is getting my head around the problem with all the code. Using the panels method all the code would be in the main form, which when you have only a small amount of code then that would be fine but I'm thinking that with a larger application would make that a little more difficult as you may have hundreds of different panels.
So while I will be using OOP, so there wouldn't be much business logic code on the form, there would still be a lot.So I am wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I should go about doing this, if I'm using the wrong method then I would like to know what the more appropriate method would be.
I updated a VB.NET application from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 and made a few changes to it. Now it works fine on my development workstation but when the user tries to run it, it fails. The error detail is below. I've searched for System.InvalidOperationException and found several suggestions but none of them have helped. There isn't any static initialization code in the application. I changed the compilation to x86 instead of AnyCpu. None of these has helped. The project is compiled for .NET 3.5 and that hasn't changed. Both environments are Windows 7 64-bit.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might determine what is causing this?
I have been trying to download the Visual Basic and it took me 3 days now to download because my network is not always good, so when the net is off, I have to start it over and over again. My question is: How can I download the Visual Basic just once and for all so that I start learning how to build my first Windows Applications?
I went for an interview last week, and the interviewer asked me a question that i failed to answer.
He asked me, how did i store the password in the database. Then i answered that i would encrypt it then store it in database.
Then he said after encryption, developer or admin still able to view the encrypted password. But he didn't want developer or admin to be able to view the encrypted password.
I thought of cookies, but if user clear their cookies file, everything will be gone.
I've been an ASP.NET VB.NET Web Developer for the past 4 years, but its been mainly self-taught so I think theres a fair few basics I have probably not learnt along the way.I'm interested in switching to C#, and was wondering what book would be best to buy to learn this.Is Jon Skeet's 'C# in depth' book a good place to start learning, or would this be too difficult for me to start with?
I'm trying to install Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 on my Windows XP Professional computer for a VB.Net project I'm working on and I'm getting nowhere. I have Office 2007 Pro. Can anyone confirm or deny that this cannot be done? I have an old Office 2002 disk. Would it do any good to put that on the computer (due to the fact that you're supposed to install Speech through Office and Office 2007 does not do this)? Will installing Office 2002 interfere with Office 2007?
I want to lock (or completely hide without allowing to see with show hidden folder check) a folder with C# for windows platforms. This should be work for both FAT and NTFS file systems. I do not wont to use encryption since it is slow.
Also I need this as a robust solution so changing CLSIDs is not working.
Also removing permission with FileSystemAccessRule with AccessControlType.Deny also not working for me. Because that only work on NTFS and also if it is worked then user can right click the folder and remove deny AccessControlType.
I have a very simple program that can run and work perfectly.The only trouble I have is when I install it.I double click the setup file that it created and a window is displayed with 2 buttons 'install' and don't 'install'.What I want it to do is run an installation wizard like when you install an offical program like 'Microsoft Office'.Is there any way to do this in 'Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition' if any other 'free' program is required then I would also be happy to use one.Here is a list of a few extra things I would like to do but I'm mainly posting to find out how to make the installation:
> A Desktop Icon is created
> When it is displayed in the all programs it is called 'Email Validator' not 'xxxx' as it is at the moment
> There will be an uninstall button (So the user doesn't have to go into Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
