I'm trying to compile a brand new 2010 windows forms application with a form and a single button that should display a msgbox with "hello" in it.When I try to compile I get the error message:
Unable to write to output file <filename>: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
Looking to make my program FIPS 140-2 compliant and found this project code in vb:[code...]
It converts to VS2010 just fine so, thought I'd try to use it as a starting place. The problem right now is that the key is in the executable, I know it's just a sample but can't figure out how to hide the key. So, thought I could take the user who is logged onto the computer and use a hash of their password as the key, and don't store it anywhere or better put it in a public encrypted variable (not sure about this part either). Anyway, getting stuck on this part and can't continue testing, looks like a conversion error:[code....]
I want to encrypt various credentials stored in my.settings and a few other files but using a hash of a users password but not stored on the computer. I might be a little fuzzy on the whole idea of being FIPS 140 compliant. Looks like I need to probably use AES and a non stored key somehow.
Right now my program loads a first form that loads up two text boxes username and password. If the (decrypted) password that gets typed in matches what the (decrypted) value of my.settings.password then it will continue to load the next form. The encryption is not currently AES and the password key is stored in the .exe. So, I'm trying to change that.
I have a Linq-to-SQL class diagram in my web application containing the two tables in my database (held in a DBPro database project in the same solution). All was working fine yesterday. I start doing some work tonight and note that the solution compiles fine in Visual Studio, but when I run the web app I get a compilation error:

I have a program in VBA that uses Flexigrids. A little while ago, the program stopped working giving the error 'Compile Error In Hidden Module'. We were advised to remove Windows update KB960715 which we did and it worked fine. However, it has just stopped working again for the same reason and that update is no longer installed.

I'm the only one in the company using Windows 7 which we are evaluating to decide if/when we're going to upgrade all our PC's. I am a domain administrator and my PC is in the domain and I'm authenticated. Since I installed Win 7 I haven't had any other authentication issues. The apps are built on .NET 2.0 SP2 I don't know much about our domain setup which is handled by our network administrator but I'm told that the Primary Controller is a Windows 2003 and the Secondary is Windows 2000. He tells me that by default every workstation first authenticate on the Secondary controller if it's available.

I've found that when trying to compile any program I receive this error on build:[code]I've tried reinstalling/repairing VS, resetting my settings and changing the target framework with no success. I even tried installing VS on another PC (both are running win 7 Pro 64 bit) only to still receive the same error.
View 3 RepliesWe have a VBA based application that run with Excel, in where we are facing an error like "COMPILE ERROR IN HIDDEN MODULE". This issue occurs only at WINDOWS VISTA machine. This issue does not occur with WindowsXP/Windows 2000
Initially this issue comes where ever "Dictionary" class used. When we replaced it by explicitly specifying it's library like "Scripting.Dictionary", the same error comes where ever "VBA" library classes used. After investigating further, it's found that none of the built in classes able to find references to their corresponding libraries. We have all the proper references check box checked, at Menu-> Tools-> References Window.

I have created an application using VB.NET in VS2008. When I run the app in the IDE on my development machine it works fine. It also works fine when I build it and run it as an exe on any machine that also has Visual Studio installed (at least 2005 and 2008 anyway) However, when I try to run the compiled executable on any machine without Visual Studio it throws up an error "[program name] has encountered a problem and will close..."

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the selected rows from a listview. To achieve this, I did this:
Dim numsel As Integer
numsel = Me.ListView1.Items.Count
For countme As Integer = 0 To numsel
[Code]....
It does count the selected rows, but it always throws out the error saying "ArgumentOutOfRange Exception", or something along those lines. For example, if I selected a row, it will output the results of that row. But the loop goes on. I tried everything I can but to no avail. I specifically want to select multiple rows, and I can achieve that if someone can assist me with this simple "problem" I have.
I have a major problem. Things were going great until I came across this little bug(?) which has thrown a stick in my spokes. As I will demonstrate below, it seems that when defining certain numbers Visual Studio will throw an overflow error.
Dim T As ULong = 14774537964905701134 'Overflow error in the IDE
Dim M As ULong = ULong.MaxValue '(18446744073709551615) we are below the maximum value so it should work, right?
The one solution I have found is that we can use the following declaration instead.
Dim T As ULong = ULong.Parse("14774537964905701134")
However, to make matters even more complicated the value in question is unknown and must be compiled using CodeDOM so using the Parse method isn't an option. Unless there is some way I can determine if that value in particular will give me an overflow error.
I recently upgrade a project from vb 6 to 2008. Most of the code runs fine.I have a webbrowser form control that I use to navigate local files and display them with. (i have a file list box that you click which calls the navigate of the browser control). Most file types i have test work fine and display just as they would in a real browser window. Excel, PDFs, etc... so examples of files that utilize "plugins" like acrobat reader inside the browser work great. Tiff files are the exception. No error is thrown in vb, but the browser throws 2 runtime errors, included at the end here. After the browser errors are ignored the program continues execution but will just not display the file.
i can type the path to the file (eg c: estfielsfilename.tif) in a regular browser window and it displays just like it should, inside IE, using a plugin.Prior to upgrading, depending on what was installed on the computer, navigating to a tif would open the tif with picture and fax viewer, or display it with a tif viewer plugin.

The application that I am working on is a Service Desk App. I have a form there that uses a DropDownList that contains employees names coming from the Active Directory. Any employee can make a request and save it. Problem arises when an employee leaves the company and consequently his account is deleted from the Active Directory. When some other employee searches the DB to finds a relevant Service Ticket that could be of his use, when tries to open it an error is thrown that indicates that the name does not exist in the DropDownList items.
UPDATE:I am adding some code so that it can be more clear.

Subsequent attempts lead to a 550 error: "The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)." However, If I step through the process in debugger, It works fine. I'm thinking this is a timeout issue because there are many files within the folder. Any suggestions?

The application was previously using GlobalMemoryStatus() and MEMORYSTATUS structure to retrieve memory information. But since, the Physical memory of the hardware in which the application runs is more than 2GB, the code was changed to use GlobalMemoryStatusEx() and MEMORYSTATUSEX structure. When this function was implemented and the struture was used its thrown compilation error: "error C2501: 'MEMORYSTATUSEX' : missing storage-class or type specifiers"How to solve this issue???

I have a project with multiple forms that are used to edit tables in a project data source (access DB). All the forms work fine, except the ones that use designer generated lookups.
When I am editing a row in a bound DGV on the lookup forms, they function fine, and the save button works fine. However, once I go to close the form it starts throwing "System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid." multiple times.
I've created applications similar to this in VS2008 without any issues.
I have created a very basic web service in vb.net using vs 2008. When I run the service within visual studio debugger, the service runs fine and gives me the expected results. When I deploy the service to the server and invoke it from a client, it always throws a NullReferenceException error when trying to access the data. More specifically when I call the DbConnection open() method within a dbhelper executeScalar method.
I'm using a custom dbhelper class I found on the web here: [URL] The only thing I've changed is the _factory at the top points to Providers.Odbc (since I'm using a ODBC connection). Like I said previously, the service (and the dbhelper class) work as expected within VS- it's only once I deploy it that it seems to bomb out. I've even tried hard coding the connection string in case it was having problems getting that but no difference there.
I've used this in a couple of places and it simply doesn't work. Despit the try event, VB.Net still crashes or throws up an error.
View 14 RepliesI am writing long text (1K to 2K characters long, plain xml data) into a cell in excel workbook.
The below statement throws COM error Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
range.set_Value(Type.Missing, data);If I copy paste the same xml manually into excel it just works fine ,but the same does not work progamatically.If I strip the text to something like 100/300 chars it works fine.
At the top of my code for the form I have the following statements (and some other unrelated ones to):
Dim LastDataRow As DataRow
Public Event RowChanged As DataRowChangeEventHandler
When my form loads I run the following line of code:
AddHandler dt.RowChanged, New DataRowChangeEventHandler(AddressOf Row_Changed)
After the form loads I have a FetchData button which connects to the database and brings the records into a datatable object. During this fill operation my Row_Changed event fires (for every record I think) and tries to run DataAdapter.Update(DataTable) (pseudocode) which ultimately fails because I haven't yet created commands. The error I get in my Row_Changed procedure is:
Update requires a valid InsertCommand when passed DataRow collection with new rows.I hadn't even planned to use an InsertCommand at all since I will not be allowing users to insert records from this form. I do plan to allow them to delete or modify existing records, but not insert new ones.run my AddHandler statement after filling the datatable. However, I'm trying to figure out how to rewrite my code so that I can refresh the datatable without closing out the form/application and having to open it up again. I think that's a problem for a separate discussion.
I am developing a project in Visual Studio 2008 with a team of 5 people. Each of the 5 people develop Windows forms and a repository in maintained on the server. The problem is that I have to individually compile each form manually after opening Visual Studio and adding the forms in the project.
I want to add and compile the forms using a GUI and not Visual Studio as such. Is this possible? Basically, the solution lies in programmatically adding Forms to Visual Studio Project I am not sure if such an application could be developed.
