My coworker's installation of visual studio 2008 breaks every time there's an exception, mine doesn't.
We've been looking for how to stop his from doing this but haven't had any luck. The only difference is that mine was initialized for C# while his was initialized for VB.
Other than reinstalling and choosing the option that says "Optimise for C#" when VS2008 sets up the environment for the first time
For some reason vb keeps changing my dates format and removes the 0s at first this wasnt a problem but it really messes up my sorting in my gridview.

aftersubtraction = departuredate.AddDays(-dates1.Text)
dates.Add(aftersubtraction.AddDays(-gracep.Text))
I have to submit a HTML form to a 3rd party website and one of the hidden fields is an XML string. The XML needs escaping before it is sent to the 3rd party.
However when I add the plain XML to the form field it semi-escapes it for me. So then when I use HTMLEncode myself part of the XML is double-escaped. How do I prevent the automatic escaping that appears to becoming from .NET.
Or even better how else can send the escaped XML via the hidden field.
XML
<systemCode>APP</systemCode>
Basic assigning to hidden input field
<systemCode>APP</systemCode>
When I HTML Encode it as well
&lt;systemCode&gt;APP&lt;/systemCode&gt;
I can see what's happening - but I don't know how to prevent it?

View 8 RepliesIt is possible to catch an exception and throw a new exception which wraps the first exception as an inner exception: [URL] Also, if I call a function and it throws a certain error, but I catch it, will the calling code's catch handler execute? If so, and it is of a higher exception type, is this not wrapping the exception? eg I can throw exception ex of type IndexOutOfRange, log it but rethrow, catch a higher up exception and do something, or I can throw a new exception and wrap an inner exception like:

View 1 RepliesAlright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I am supposed to be writing a program for my instructor using VB 2008. It is sort of like a quiz program. You build the "light bulb" program but instead of names and colors, it consists of two forms. Question 1 with a "next" button and the second form for Question 2 with a "previous" button. I have no idea how to link the two so that when you click "next" it goes to the second page and vice versa.

I am creating pivot tables in VB.NET and have run into a problem I did not think would be as difficult as it is turning out. When I create a pivot table it adds in subtotals for each row and I do not want that. In excel you just drag down the subtotals option and tell it to not display subtotals. I looked into the VBA for it and it is several lines long of this format:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("Main Highway Pivot").PivotFields("Division"). _
Subtotals = Array(False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, _

I'm trying to build an application to increase my understanding of visual basic. I may have set the bar too high for myself but it's the challenge that makes it fun right? Anyway, I'm trying to make a transition effect of a page turning. The application is a brewing database which looks like a book. I think the transition would make it look more professional. Dose anyone have on how I might be able to accomplish this? A basic example even would go a very long way.

View 10 RepliesA week or so ago, you folks really taught me how to use the KeyData event. I adopted some of the coding to make my new code so much better. A few days ago, I thought I figured out how to run my little game. You see, you have two buttons. Comment and Uncomment. You Press Control + K and then after that, you press Control + (C or U) to activate the buttons. And I thought it worked! But my buddy figured out how to break it! The thing is, I need to figure out a way to make IsCtrlK (Look below) False if any key that isn't Control + C or U is pressed right after it. What would you suggest I look into using?

Late binding is not allowed and that's how we want it. Depending on whether our program is running on a LAN or the Internet, we need to dim an object as one of two types. We use an if...then statement to ascertain whether or not we are running on a LAN or the Internet.
When we declare our object inside the if...then statement, we have declared in the wrong scope and cannot use the object. When we declare it as an 'Object' type and use DirectCast inside an if...then statement, we receive a late binding error. How can we get around this problem without turning off Option Strict?
I have two DataGridView controls on different forms. One is bound and one is non-bound. I am not sure if it is my imagination but I find that properties behave different based on the bound or non-bound. When I compare the properties I do not see any that are different except the data binding properties. On the non-bound DataGridView, the whole line is always highlited, I cannot figure out how to turn it off. Trying to make the grid behave more like an excel grid.
