What is the purpose of the <Clear > XML element within the <AppSettings> tag in an application's config file?I see it removes previously added settings (see code below), but why would you want to do that? [code]I also understand that when manipulating app settings in code you could clear existing keys, but why have the <clear> XML element?Also, out of habit really, i've been putting the <clear> element before any <add> elements. Do i need to do this, should i not be doing this?

I am building the 'TheBeerHouse' project in vb.net (the book is written in C#). Once I understand the concepts, I can usually convert it to vb. However, there are a few areas that give my some problems (which I will address individually). The first issue I have is the C# 'base' to VB 'MyBase'. [code] My understanding of this conversion is that I need to grab the attributes of the <articles> element under the <theBeerHouse> custom section in the web.config file.This code does not compile and the get the following error: 'MyBase' must be followed by '.' and an identifier.
View 4 RepliesI'm using access to replicate something that is very simple in excel. I have one "due date" column, and I want the cell right next to those cells to tell me if there are less than 15 days to that date. In excel is a simple conditional function, but I want to do it in Access because it looks better.I'm new to access and even though I've been reading some posts and forums I haven't been able to pull this out. I tried to program a macro with the following
Sub Alarma()
[Alarma] = IIf([Fecha de vencimiento] - 15 > Date(), " ", "Faltan menos de 15 d�as")
[code]....
It shows the following error -> Compilation error: External name not defined.
So, it's not reading the "Alarma" field... how do I define this field? It's inside a formulary, and Alarma is the title (I downloaded a template from the internet and changed the titles so I wouldn't have to do it from scratch...)

<Extensions>

View 1 RepliesThe exception:
"Input string was not in a correct format."
Appears when I try to access a field on my page like this:
.TransmissionId = IIf(FormValues("TransmissionId").Length > 0, Integer.Parse(FormValues("TransmissionId")), 0)
However it works for another field which is the same exact type of field, accessed like this:
.StateId = IIf(FormValues("StateId").Length > 0, Integer.Parse(FormValues("StateId")), 0)
Where could the mismatch and exception be coming from? What could be the fault? The field doesn't have a value when I'm pulling it. Do I have to test for a value different for this number field than I would have to for a text field?

I work in MS Visual Studio 2008, I have a VB.NET Solution which has three Projects, BusinessObjectLibrary (object properties), DataAccessLibrary (object functions such as selectAll, exportToExcel) and WindowUserInterface (UserForms c/w Controls)In my WindowUserInterface (project) I have a form called "rolFormGrid.vb", on this form, I have a DataGrid that gets filled with a function called "selectAll" when the form is loaded, I also have a button that calls the function "exportToExcel" and I have a Progress Bar called "rolProgressBar" ***.
In my DataAccessLibray (project) I have a class called "ROL_Adapter.vb", and in this class resides the function called "exportToExcel" which has all the code to create an Excel Workbook. When this function is being called, it can takes close to a minute to export to excel. We all know how users can be impatient if they do not see anything happening in the foreground when an application is working, that is the reason I want the progress bar.

I have a number of rewrite rules for a lot of things that I did in IIS7, like removing trailing slashes, canonnical URLs, lowercase lettering, and such. IIS altered my web.config, and everything works fine on the website, like it should. But in the Visual Studio web.config, the opening < rewrite > statement is underlined in blue, and at the bottom of VS, it says that the element 'system.webServer' has invalid child element 'rewrite'. But this is how IIS made it. I didn't do this manually. Should I be concerned with this VS error, or should I just leave as be, since it's working how it should work?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Pro on a Windows 7 PC, to build simple VB Windows Form Applications (I've just started learning VB). Lately when I try to debug my applications, it takes unusually long.

It didn't use to do this!

After this ALL the pages load really fast. My guess is this is due to having to load the code from scratch; after that, until it is recycled, the application runs perfectly fast.

View 1 RepliesOur main application has both a asp.net and winforms component. There is a class that is used by both sides and needs info from either the web.config or app.config files. The class itself does not know if it's on the client side or on the web server (at this point). We are getting errors when it's attempting read app.config when it's on the web side. Is there a way for the class to tell if it needs to read web.config or app.config?
