I have a number of programs written in VB.NET 2010 that load and run on every computer I've tried them on. This week I replaced my mother board with an IBM mother board using a Pentium 4 running Windows XP Pro. I install the programs but as soon as they start to run, they immediately shut down. If I run them in Visual Studio 2010, they run fine.

View 17 RepliesI am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

View 3 RepliesYesterday I was using VS 2010 just fine, I was doing my code and hitting F5 and if all was right it ran.Today I start up my computer again and load up VS though and...F5 does nothing and the little play button at the top is greyed out. This is the same on any of the programs I open up.How do I let myself test programs again?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a small version of Spy++ and i would like to recreate the function that finds windows by dragging your mouse over it. Now that is pretty easy but one little annoyance is some windows minimize or loose focus ect when you bring the mouse pointer over them.
I would like to know if you can stop a program from gaining focus or minimizing. And i know i can get the handles of open windows by the EnumWindows function?

View 2 RepliesI have a finished project and I was wondering what software was available to make this into an exe with a nice profesional looking installer? I am using express.I have already had a look into cyberinstaller suite, it is ok, but generaly it is turning my half mb project into a 4.8mb project.
View 12 RepliesI have a class that needs to create another class (that inherit from window). This second class build a set of controls in a new open window.
Because the process of building this new second class it quite long
I need to open this new window in a different thread
I am trying to do this with a backgroundworker but as soon as the new class starts to build the interface (textboxes etc) it casts an error saying that the thread must be static
In the past few weeks, to speed up our database freshening process, I've created a couple of extra programs, basically copies of the exe file. The program itself, accesses web pages, images etc and uses threads to do so. The second program uses LIMIT 300,100 and the third LIMIT 600,100, to make sure they don't work on the same records.
Before the last few weeks, one occurrence of the program used to run without problem, from the task scheduler all through the day. Only one occurrence of each exe can run at a time.Since theres now three programs running, .net 2.0, on xp, the program often seems to get stuck and never ends. I have to kill it from task manager.
It runs fine in the IDE I just wonder if there would be any benefit from upgrading to vb.net 2010 ?
How do you write config files for vb programs? Like .xml files, Seen some examples but didn't fully grasp them. Say I had a program that launched programs and I wanted it to save the:Program Name, Program Location, Program Site, etc..So I am guessing the xml would looking something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Path>
[code]....
how to load the settings from these configs. The reason I want to write it to an external config is because I plan to add an updating feature and I want the configs outside of the program.
I am trying to do a game application similar to chess, where i need to move the game peaces(graphics) over another graphics which is the game board. using the mouse. How can I do multiple layers of graphics and control their movement(without using direct x, i know nothing about it)? Note: I have visual basic 2010 express, windows xp home
View 1 RepliesI'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and it may be "no," but is it possible to create an install file in VB Express 2010 and have that file deploy additional .exe files?
I developed a windows form program that calls fortan routines (in seperate .exe files) for different purposes. I would like to create an install file that deploys not only my VB program, but all of the supporting code.
Is this possible with VB Express 2010? I tried to search for threads about this, but didn't find any that explicitily answered this question.
I started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
View 1 RepliesWhen you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
If we made programs in Visual Basic Express 2010 Trial are we allowed to keep the programs and distribute them freely on our sites and if we unistalled visual Basic can we keep the programs etc...
View 2 RepliesI've been programming in VB6 for years, I have decided to take the plunge into VB.net and C# 2010 but having a little problem understanding the big picture.In VB6 I could create user controls and save them as .ocx files, then use those .ocx's in other programs or on html pages. I am sure the same idea is present in VS 2010, I'm just not seeing it.Can anyone recommend a book or tutorial that will show me the big picture of all the aspects of the .net environment?

View 1 RepliesI need to control this terminal Board and I have absolutely no idea if this is can be done. This board is connected to the PC Via PCI Card. Can we do that using .Net Framework?
View 7 RepliesWhat I want it to do is, as I'm typing the word, that it highlights it on the board using the button(x,y).doclick sub which highlights it. Right now my implementation finds the first letter, then keeps trying each letter until it meets the 8 corner condition (ie it is neighbored to the last one) but this does not always work. If there are say 2 "G"'s on the board and I want the bottom one, this will not work. Can somebody give me an example of psuedocode

We learned How to assemble an input/output control board that would connect to your serial port. We were able to use out statements (back in the old gwbasic) to send output signals to the parallel port to turn on/off different outputs. The board had connections where you could connect lights, relays, etc, and had connections where you could attach switches and sensors.
I have been looking for something simple that I can manipulate in my programs. I already have an ActiveHome X10 interface which includes an activex for receiving and sending x10 signals (home automation, turning lights on/off, etc.). I want something that I can straight out connect relays to, and sensors as well. I don't want something that connects to the serial port since that is already being used up, the parallel port would work fine, or even better usb.
I am making a variation of the board game Trivial Pursuit. I am having trouble moving my piece around the board. The board is a circle divided into 32 squares, that are coloured. I am wondering how to get the players pawn to move around the board if it is a circle. They have to move according the the number they role on the dice. I have the dice rolling and finding numbers, but its the moving i'm having trouble with
View 1 RepliesI'm currently developing a chess program. In my program, the problem I'm currently having is the slow drawing of the initial board. Here's part of my _gameGraph.DrawImage(MyResources.Marble_White, New Rectangle(x, y, 70, 70)) The code here draws the black & white squares using a for/next loop. I later use another for/next loop on the array holding the piece values, which uses the same type of function to draw the pieces on top of the squares. Both the pieces and the squares are .PNG images.

I am trying to control the security board using the Windows Firewall which connects to my server that was made in VB.Net. My only problem is when I open the Windows Firewall my server crashes. It also displays this error: "Error, win%fir%90y4e does not support this server. upgrade you version of Winsock.". So I upgraded myself to the latest Winsock that there is out there. After doing so I try again and my server still crashes, but this time with a different error. The error this time was the following: "Error, no client is available for win%fir%90y4e. try again later.". What do I do?
