Accessing The MSDM Library
Jan 12, 2010
When I downloaded my Visual Studio Express I also downloaded the MSDM Library (Express Edition) to have the extra resource. I just now got around to installing that. I was under the impression that this was extra content stored on your PC. I could not seem to find a way to access it from VS Express 2008 or find an exe to start it by itself. I searched the Internet and all I get is information about accessing the Online version of the MSDN Library. I do see an icon in VB Express that says MSDN Forums. Is this what I should be looking for or is there really local content I can access.. How does this work?

Basically I am creating a Windows Service as an 'updater' program to update all my software packages. Whats going to happen is every piece of my software that is installed in its program folder will have an Update.dll this DLL will be a library to do with the update of the software.
There will also be a database in the Updater program folder which will contain a list of all my installed software. So when the service starts it will open my 'database' which will load the paths to all my installed software to a string array. Each path in the string array will have a Update.dll in the folder.
What I need to do then is is in turn call a routine called StartUpdate() from each of those Update.dll which will then do all the work. So the service itself is fairly basic and doesn't really do much I just need to figure out how to access DLL's when I don't actually know what ones will be there while programming, Reason I am doing it this way is to support my future software programmes without having to update the updater.

I have an asp.net project that's compiled on a server. On that same server I have a windows service that's running methods referenced from the asp.net .dll. Everything works fine except for when the httpcontext.current object needs to be accessed. I'm fairly certain that the cause of the .current being null is that it's referencing the shared library without an actual instance of the site running. In a previous version of the service I was able to find a workaround in asp.net by not using the context, however that is now a last resort as much of the architecture of the site has changed. Is there anyway to create an instance of the site and simulate a current httpcontext for the purposes of the service?

Basically in visual basic 6 I could access word tables in existing templates with the code owordactivedoc.tables(1).select() where owordactivedoc refers to the active word document and tables(1) refers to the first table in the template.Trying the same code in VB 2003 just leads to errors. Secondly how do I access bookmarks or alternatively word variables.Furthermore how do one deploy web.services. For example the current program I am building is for another computer. Simply copying the web service to Inetpubwwwroot dont work because it is not picked up by the Internet Information Services program. I have to create the web service in vb2003 on the other computer change msconfig manually. Copy and paste the existing service vb file in the created folder replacing the empty vb file.

I have a VB.NET console application that must write a message onto a queue (resides on the mainframe). We have all the clustering and everything set-up by our admin. We already have an existing windows service that successfully listens to messages and also writes messages to various queues.I have basically re-used most of my code from the windows service project.But when I try to access the queue manager, I hit the exception "MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE". The error log from the Websphere MQ folder says
AMQ9213: A communications error for occurred.
EXPLANATION:An unexpected error occurred in communications.
ACTION:The return code from the call was 0 (X'0'). Record these values and tell the systems administrator.

I have an ASP.NET (C# Code-behind) code. I need the very same functionality in one of my VB 6.0 program. As the code is too complex, I don't want to replicate it in VB once again.
Now, is there any way to access my .NET code from VB?

myObject.rect.X = 100
myObject has a property called rect (which is a Rectangle). During runtime I will want to chage the X position of such rectangle, but I am given this error:
Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment.
Then, how am I supposed to change such values?

I have two variables, X and Y (this is just figurative)
X = 123
Y = X
How can I get that X out of the Y to be able to get the contents of X from the Y? I just want to be able to do something like tell a textbox to display the contents of the variable within the Y variable (thus, the contents of X).

What I want to do is have my vb .net program open ms word and put an address into the envelope wizard this way the user can go from there adjusting the envelope size etc. In ms word 2007 I have found that if you hit alt, then 'm' then 'e' it will open the wizard and put the cursor in the right place to type the 'to:' address.Current I can open word and put the address directly into the new document.Here is what I have so far:
Dim oWord As Word.Application
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
Dim address As String
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

I have two projects; A and B, where B needs to use some classes that are in project A. Hence, I added B to A's solution, and in B I added a reference to project A.
Is that sensible? Or should I rather put those classes in a class library?
I see that if I further want to open form/program B from a menu option in project A, then A needs a reference to B. Which would not be possible if B already had a reference to A. However if I use the class library for the common classes, then it's ok as B doesn't need the A reference.
Does this sound logical? It would be nice to know what are typical reasons for putting projects in the same solution, and if it's advised to use libraries aggressively to refactor common code between two projects, even if it's just a couple of classes.. Yet I've never made my own library, so a bit unsure on when to use it.
