I am trying to change forms with timers, but after I got beyond 2 forms the timers would not work for a 3rd form. One time it did display third form but showed second form right after it.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a simple countdown timer using vb 2005 express edition. I think the code is fairly simple but I have fallen at the first hurdle. How do you display the result, i.e. which control do you use? Tried label and textbox but both return the error: "Value of type [integer or long] cannot be converted to [textbox or label].
View 3 RepliesI'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

How do you make it so that you canrun this same timer over everyform and then make it stop on the last form? is it possible for you to convert the timer so that instead of it running in milliseconds it runs in minutes?

View 2 RepliesI have 16 student machines who can not access the windows live login during the school hours due to filtering restrictions. They need to register Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition within 30 days or the product becomes useless. The registration process wants them to login to access the keys.

View 3 RepliesI create a new Windows Forms application and add an AboutBox form which is built-in into Visual Studio. I add a button to Form1 to show the AboutBox when clicked.The AboutBox form has a label with the text "Version" on it. The following code is supposed to add the application's version to that label at run-time:
Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format("Version {0}", My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)When the application version is changed in the Publish tab of the My Project form to 2-0-3-6, the version on the AboutBox at run-time stays at 1.0.0.0 (of course after rebuilding).
Even when the application is published to the desktop, it still does not work. It does, however, reflect the correct version number in the title of a subfolder in the Applications folder that is created when the application is published.

View 2 RepliesI'm currently writing a countdown timer on vb 2005, with the following characteristics: When I press a button and the timer is running, it adds time to the counter, for example, if the time is 2:30 and I press a button, and the period to add is 1:10, the new time would be 4:40. The window is always on top of every other window, and is active even though it doesn't have focus. When the time's up and i press a key, in this case Esc, the application closes, otherwise, it just continues. [Code]

My company currently has vb.net 2003. I am tasked with evaluating vb.net 2008. And suggest if upgrading to 2008 edition is necessary or if it will be beneficial. For this purpose I decided to experiment with vb.net 2008 express. I have some questions regarding this.
1) Will vb.net 2008 express edition will give me idea about new features etc. ?
2) If I install vb.net 2008 express edition on machine which has vb.net 2003, will it cause any problems to vb.net 2003 ?
3) If I code in vb.net 2008 express edition, on upgrading will this same code work ?

View 4 RepliesI know the express edition of Vb does not give a detailed publish but i want to ask something. I have made program that uses database (Sql), and also my program uses folders (Help, Pictures etc..) I tried to publish my program but the express edition does not have an option to add my folders. So i tried to publish with "inno setup" program. But this time my program does not work in computers which dont have "Sql Server 2008 express". I tried to put "Read me " file, that says "First setup Sql Server 2008 Express from internet then setup .Net Framework from internet then setup the program" but it is so hard for user to do those thing. Is there any way easier? (Does the computer must have Sql Server to work with my database?)

View 1 RepliesI'm doing a project for school (I'm in Year 6, Primary School, Australia) and I'm trying to create a measurements converter with Visual Basic. Unfortunately I have a problem (and no teachers in the school have a clue on how to use visual basic).Basically the program just converts a specified amount of one unit of measurement and converts it to another unit of measurement.A message box then pops up telling the user the answer. Eg. A user specifies that they want 1 mile converted to 1 kilometre a message box will pop up telling them what the answer would be. In this case it would be about 1.6 kilometres.
