IDE :: Incorrect Assembly Version After Compiling New Release Build?
Sep 21, 2009Every time I compile a new release build in vb.net 2009, the file version number of my main exe is correct, but the assembly version number is the same as the last build instead of the current version even though I manually change the file and assembly version in the design studio to be the same prior to compiling.The only way I can get the assembly version to be correct is to close Visual Studio and delete the obj folder. Then if I open the solution and recompile, all is well.
Here is the information copied from the About box in VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP

VS 2008 Make A Release Build Instead Of A Debug Build?
May 3, 2010I 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?
Perform Release Build And Not Debug Build For Exe
Aug 4, 2010I 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.
Publish Or Release Build In VB?
Nov 10, 2009I wrote a little (like 40 lines little) Winforms application with VB.net in Visual Studio 2010. Now I've released the code as a Google Code project. It's easy for a developer to get the source but I'd like to make it easy to install too.
What I did was make a release build then zip up what it created, this included a setup.exe. There was also an option to "publish" my project which looks like it can enable update checks and other stuff.
.net - Unhandled Exception From Dll - Only Shows Up In Release Build
Apr 11, 2012I have a dll library that I built to help reduce the amount of boilerplate code copied over from project to project. There is a timer running in the dll to maintain the connection to our machinery via RPC. When I debug my project and break the RPC connection my code gracefully tosses a disconnect event from the dll library and my main form catches the event and handles it appropriately.Now, build for release. When I break the RPC connection a unhandled exception is tossed from the library that apparently is not caught elsewhere.
The weird part is that the code that is throwing the exception is in the timer and the calls are all wrapped in try/catch blocks and the catch block swallows the exception and does other cleanup work.I don't get how in debug mode everything is fine but in release it is not. That part doesn't make sense to me. I tried looking at the exception object and setting a handled property on it but it's not available. Is this normal behavior what I am seeing?
I just recently started utilizing numerous libraries in my projects to keep my solutions more trimmed and easy to follow. Hopefully this isn't a problem with libraries I had not considered.
How To Avoid Generating New Properties In Release Build
Jun 1, 2010I have a form and I drag and drop a control in VB.NET. I have a line say,
private WithEvents radioButton RadioButton
Also, I have a handler like,
private void click(.....) Handles radioButton.Click {
...
}
Now, When I build this is .NET 3.5 in release mode, and see the generated code in reflector tool, the code is something like:
Private Overridable Property radioButton As RadioButton
.
.
.
<AccessedThroughProperty("radioButton")> _
Private _radioButton As RadioButton
And how do I avoid the generation of new properties and fields?

View 2 RepliesIDE - My.Application.Info.Version.Build Returns Wrong Value
Mar 6, 2009We're using team build with AssemblyInfoTask to increment the build number in a nightly build. The build number is displayed in the application using My.Application.Info.Version.Build.This has been working fine for years. But since we branched the sources and started using file references instead of project references (have no idea if that's what causes the problem), the last build number is displayed instead of the current one.
The compiled files (dll's and exe's) have the correct build number, if checked by right clicking the file in Explorer and viewing detailed properties. However when the same exe-file is executed, the UI displays the previous build number.If I edit the AssemblyInfo.vb file manually (just set another number, save the file, and set it back again), both file properties in Explorer and the UI at runtime displays the correct build number. How can this happen? What can be done to avoid this strange behavior?

View 12 RepliesMake Express Version Do A "clean Build"?
Feb 8, 2012Is there a way to make the express version do a "clean build"?
Some of my project compilations have developed a problem which prevents debugging.
"The breakpoint that isn't working will display a message if highilighted with the mouse. The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."
The difference I've seen between the project folders for an app that will debug vs one that will not debug is that there is no ".pdb" file in the folder where the application to be debugged is running.Debug (F5) or "Build" no longer create this file.
Many of the discussion participants suggest deleting the "obj" and "bin" folders before compiling - on the assumption that this will "force" a "clean build" - is that supposed to be true? My express version has no "clean build" option, and deleting the obj and bin folders doesn't cuase them to be completely rebuilt.
Is "msbuild" the only way to force a complete build when you have the express version?
Also - how do I determine/control which net framework vision vs2010 express is using?[code]...

Cannot Get VS2010 To Compile Release Version?
Mar 14, 2011I just updated to VS2010 SP1, but I cannot be certain this problem didn't exist prior to the update.When I build my project the version in /bin/debug builds, but nothing builds in /bin/release. I do not remember making any changes that would affect this, but nothing I do now will get the release version to build.
In the Application settings under "Compile" I have Configuration set to Release and the Build output path is "binRelease For Debug I also have Configuration set to Release.
There doesn't seem to be anything else left to change/adjust - but no matter what I seem to do nothing builds in the bin/release folder.
Different Results For Debug And Release Version Of Vb Dll?
Apr 17, 2012I created a vb dll using class library in visual studio 2010 [URL]... I have accessed this Dll in Excel VBA by referencing it through (Tools>>Reference)...I obtain different results when i run my program from Excel and when I run it from Visual Studio during debugging (here the debugging starts Excel as an external program). The results are exported by the dll function as a structure array ( The required values
are in double format in a constituent 1D array). The difference is as high as 5%.
What might have caused this difference? Could someone please help me with this?

Jan 20, 2011I changed my VB2008 Express development system from Windows XP to Windows 7.After installing Windows 7 I installed VS2010 with VB2010 Express.Tried that and had issues so I installed VS2008 with VB2008 Express.The application I was developing with VB2008 on my XP system will compile and run in the debug environment with VB2008 on Windows 7 but the Release build (double clicking the .exe in the Release directory) will not.
