i made a build and stub program that works awsome with building text and that stuff but i done know how to send list box items heres code so far:
FileOpen(1, Application.StartupPath & "" & "stub2.exe", OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.Default)
stub = Space(LOF(1))
FileGet(1, stub)[code]....
i dont know here...something here...lisitbox = options(2)?how to send listbox items?
I've got a large codebase which I'd like to expose to plugin authors to allow them to use VB.Net Express to code plugins for a server app, which is not available to them. My problem is that even with obfuscation, I'd rather not distribute the complete app and/or dlls, as even with obfuscation peeling apart a .NET assembly and puzzling out code is relatively easy to do. I'm interested in this because the licensor I obtain the code from requires me to protect IP and assets and while distributing .NET apps opens up the app to disassembly, keeping the server app private and allowing users to utilize a skeleton dll to code against is a happy medium.
What I'm looking for is some way or a utility to go through my server app source code and create a codeless version of the app which only contains method and property signatures.The intent is to provide a stub .NET dll for them to add as a reference and code against as if they were directly interacting with the server, without actually providing the server code to them, compiled or not. I can of course do this by hand but there are over 90 classes and hundreds of thousands of lines of code I'd rather not spend a week hand tweaking. Also, this presents a problem whenever new methods or code are added to the project. Finally, two separate projects is an even worse scenario.Because people will post suggestions that have little or nothing to do with the question, here's a short, clear example. I want to turn this class:
Public Class MyServer
Public ReadOnly Property Name() As String
Get
Return "Whatever"
[code].....
I have a program which builds a child program during runtime, it all runs fine but I want I way of determining which computer it came from. It is private and when I give it to someone I get their volume serial number and I can identify who it is from that. Once they build their program which can be public so the same method won't work I want it to know it came from person.. pseudo code ex
BEGIN
Determine Person
Build Program
END

I've got a listbox in visual basic 2008 with lines that look like:
item 0; item 1; item 2; item 3
How can I select that line and change within that line the value of e.g. item 3? (by default it's set to 0 and should be set to a value > 0 when entered by the user.
After that I need to calculate the total price based on the price in item 2 and the new value of item 3 (being >0)
If I have a very large function/sub in a class that is an instance method (i.e., not Shared), do I gain or lose anything by moving that to a shared method and then declaring a small stub method for the instance use?
I.e., I go from this:
Public Sub MyBigMethod(ByVal Foobar As String)
If String.IsNullOrWhitespace(Foobar) Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("Foobar")
End If
[Code] .....
My thinking is I save on memory size per each instance of the object. Because each instance only has to lug around the stub method which handles calling the shared version and passing an instance of itself to the shared method so that it can do whatever it needs to do. But I'll wager that I sacrifice a very teensy amount of speed because of the added function call overhead.
After inserting an user control and double clicking on it, a stub with the default event should appear.
If I don't define what the default event is and I don't assign any attributes to any events or properties, it works, and it generates the stub for the UserControl.Load event (the default default event).
But if I set some attributes for the properties and events and/or I define the default event, the stub generated is corrupted. Here is an example of what I should get:
Private Sub FaceSelector_OnSelect(SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection(Of Object)) Handles FaceSelector.OnSelect
End Sub
And this is what I actually get: Private Sub SketchSelector_OnSelect( SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1)
End Sub
Private Sub FaceSelector_OnSelect( SelectedObjects As System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1)
End Sub
In this case I had 5 user controls, I double clicked on one of them, and I got 2 corrupted stubs.
Sometimes the corrupted stubs are generated when I change some properties of other controls in the form, or the form itself. For example I resize the form, the error window doesn't show any errors, hit F5 to compile and run, and get a syntax error.
I tried to track the problem down by removing each event/property attribute/xml description, one by one, many times I thought I found the culprit, but after 10 minutes the problem popped up again.
I wanted to send the items within a listbox.One item at a time
this is the code snippet:
For i = 0 To 5
SMSPort.Write("AT+CMGS=" & Chr(34) & sender & Chr(34) & vbCrLf)
SMSPort.Write(listfiles.Items(i).ToString() & vbCr & Chr(26))

I'm making an easy "troubleshooting" form in my application. Basically, it consists of a button and a listbox. When the button runs, it retrieves system info and adds the information to the listbox. There is also another button where after the test finishes,
it uses process.start() to open the default mail client. The problem is, no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the full list of items into the email. How can I add the listbox items into the email?
Process.Start("mailto:emailaddress?body=listbox items here... why don't they show? & listbox1.items")
Our chapter is all on printing, but the teachers example sends the data to a new form, into a listbox. How do I take the contents of a ComboBox from one form and input it into the ListBox on another form, first adding the line "High School List".
I have this much, but then don't know how to read fromt he ComboBox. Not what is highlighted, but the full contents.
FrmPrint.Show()
FrmPrint.LstPrint.Items.Add("High School List")

A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?
View 9 RepliesI have a vb.net 2008 windows form application that I was just assigned to work on. how to maintain and test changes to both the pre build and the post build events? Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
View 12 RepliesI have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
I was able to build both debug and release versions of my VB code before now I no longer have the option to build a release version. How do I turn it back on

If I set a ListBox.Height = ListBox.PreferredHeight when the control is hidden and IntegralHeight = True, then set it visible:
a) Actual Height reduces by typically 3-5 pixels after redraw (but not 1 pixel per item).
b) PreferredHeight does not not appear to give the correct integral of item heights.
Is there a way to make ListBox calculate the correct integral Height before the ListBox is made visible, so it can be correctly pre-positioned from bottom edge?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
ListBox1.Visible = False
ListBox1.IntegralHeight = True

Now as you can see it is sending the textbox1 text and then pressing enter then sending textbox2 text! Theres quite a few problems in that but before i discuss note: This code is in a Timer. Problem #1: It does not send the keys fully correct all the time because its trying to send them all at once! So i want it to send them 1 letter after the other with 200 ms sleep in them! Problem #2: The sleep is not working: The reason i know is because even after it did the first textbox1 text it didnt wait that 2000 ms!
Are there any good books out there that will show someone how to set up a form using Visual basic that will take information and send it to the server and then send a recipient an Email?

I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).

I am trying to use the send keys function to send text to another program.I ahve gotten it al working well, except for using () as I know sendkeys doesnt like these.I have tried using the Replace function in several places in my code to replace the ( with {(} and {+0} etc, with various other options tried.But when I run the program, it seems to skip this out completly and leaves them in the string as (, and therefore it errors and wont run.When I step through it, it goes through the function but doesnt alter the strng as it should. This is the code to send the string and my attempt at making it replace the () in the module
