Changing EXE Name Based On Compilation Constant
Sep 21, 2011
I have a project in VB.NET 2010 (compiling to x86, .NET 2.0 runtime) that I want to compile into two separate EXEs - a "lite" version and a "full" version. Unfortunately I cannot make two separate projects as it uses the Adobe Reader COM control - and sharing a form using that control between two projects seems to confuse the IDE (something to do with COM Interop, I assume - if someone knows how to share a form hosting the adobe reader control, that would solve my problem too).
I have found this thread: C#: VS.NET: Change name of exe depending on conditional compilation symbol however I don't have any MSBuild experience so I need more explicit instructions. On the "My Project>Compile" tab there is a "Build Events..." button. I was wondering if anyone knows how to set a conditional compilation constant and use that to determine the EXE name (or change it after build). If all else fails I can rename the EXE manually I suppose, but I'd prefer it to be automated.

I am getting a project-level conditional compilation constant error while trying to build my vb.net project. It reads:
project-level conditional compilation constant 'VB_VER=9.0,TARGET="exe",CONFIG="Debug",_MyType="Console",PLATFORM="AnyCPU",DEBUG;^^ ^^ TRACE' not valid: Character is not valid.
I recently upgraded it to the latest version (from 2.0), and I have a feeling that this has something to do with it.

I would like to know how to apply code for a date that will expire 5 days after whatever the current date would be and it needs to be a "constant".For example: When the user loads a form, the current date is assigned, and the expiration date always needs to be 5 days after the current date.

When building a class library which contains many classes, all classes uses a lot of common constants and functions, what is the best to do:
1- Declare these constants and functions as public in a module.
2- In each class declare constants and functions used by individual class as private.
The first choice is good for easy and fast implementation, but re-using a class in a different project will require importing the module to the other project.The second choice require a lot of copy/paste for code snippet but a class can be re-used in different project easily.

deal with ever changing SQL queries based on various conditions? i am using Cmd.BindByName = True so it doesn't need to be in an ordered way when adding parameters. Just that this is the hectic way of doing the update SQL ..or even worse insert SQL/I favor doing parameters instead of using stored procedure bcoz i find it faster by using parameters .
SQLStr.Append("Update Table set col1 = :time ")
Cmd.Parameters.Add("time" , OracleDbType.Varchar2)
Cmd.Parameters("time").value = "xxx"

Just wondering if someone can at least point out where I'm going wrong here. I've already got the code to populate the listbox by a button click from the user and am just trying to figure out how exactly to alter the text of a label based on what the user selects in the listbox. From what I have the Label will display the case else selection but nothing else despite my best efforts to get it to change. Here is what I've tried. I realize it is very trivial, but I am only a beginner to programming.

I have this VB.Net 1.1 project that I have to make some changes to. There is a flag in the App.config file. If it is false, the page just loads a splash screen and runs the program normally. If it is true it first opens a login window. VB.Net is not something I've ever worked with before. I can't for the life of me figure out where the logic for the picking the startup object is. In the property pages, Main.vb is always set as the startup object, but that's not even the window that loads up when the flag is false, it always comes after the splash screen.

I have done this in Php with a function before. I just don't know how to do it in VB.I have a character sheet creator for a game I am making. What I am wanting to do is write a single function, where in you click on a button and it will pass the text box name (so that it knows which text box to edit), as well as the value inside of the text box (to make sure that the new character stat ceiling is taken into account).
Private Sub Button_Click
AddtoValue(Textbox1,stats)
End Sub[code].....
Essentially, I need to know what to put for noidea, and noidea2, like, byval or byref or what?

Basically I want to move my mouse to the coords that is received based on the location of a certain coloured pixel. I can get the coords of the pixel but when using them on mouse position, the mouse position is based on the entire screen rather than the form. How could I change the position coords based on the form rather than the entire screen. E.G. If a certain coloured pixel is 2,2 in a form and I put that as the mouse position, it would go outside the form but I dont want that. I want it to hover of the pixel coords
This is my
Dim bmp As Bitmap = DirectCast(PictureBox1.Image, Bitmap)
For x As Integer = 0 To bmp.Width - 1
For y As Integer = 0 To bmp.Height - 1
If bmp.GetPixel(x, y) = (Color.FromArgb(108, 90, 60)) Then
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position =
End If
Next

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. For example, an application with just a blank form and nothing else will take about a minute to build, and then it will sit for another minute or two until the app window pops up. It didn't use to do this!

I have tried looking at "related" questions for answers to this but they don't seem to actually be related...Basically I have a VB.Net application with a catalogue,administration section (which can alter the catalogue, monitor page views etc etc) and other basic pages on the customer front end.When I compile and run the app on my local machine it seems to compile fairly quickly and run very fast. However when deployed on the server it seems to take forever and a day on the very first page load (no matter what page it is, how many stylesheets / JS files there are, how many images there are, how big the page markup is and so on). 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. Does anyone have any idea how I could speed this part of the application up? I am afraid that some customers

How can you write a #If statement on a single line?
vb.net
#Const Debug = True #If Debug Then Console.WriteLine("Debug")'I also tried:#If Debug Then : Console.WriteLine("Debug") : #End If'
But that didn't work either?

I've got a problem with a program that references a third party ActiveX component that I've been refused permission to distribute. The AX component is used on some user defined controls which the user can add programatically, which makes isolating them fairly easy. However, the problem is that if the program is installed on a machine without the third party component then it just crashes, where I would much prefer it to just alert the user to the missing component and then disable the functionality that requires the component.
In the past I've tried adding the reference programatically but have found that this solution doesn't work with this particular control.

In Debug mode my application compiles to a 4MB .msi file plus setup.exe at 368kb, and the installed app includes the .pdb file @ 2.3MB. If I change to Release mode I'd expect to avoid including the debug symbol file and considerably reduce the .msi size, but surprisingly the .msi goes up to 4.45MB and setup.exe to 420kb. Am I missing something here? I want to reduce the upload size of the application by avoiding the unnecessary debug file, but clearly I've misunderstood what's happening or maybe what I can do.

I have a problem with the VB.NET compiler failing to compile a class (in a separate C# assembly) which contains two overloads of a method with generic arguments. The equivalent code in C# compiles against the same assembly with no errors. Here are the two method signatures:
protected void SetValue<T>(T newValue, ref T oldValue)
protected void SetValue<T>(T? newValue, ref T? oldValue) where T : struct
Here is the code to three assemblies that demonstrate the problem. The first is the C# assembly with a Base class that implements the generic methods. The second is a C# class derived from Base and calls both overloads of SetValue correctly. The third is a VB class also derived from Base, but fails to compile with the following error message:
[Code]...
Am I doing something wrong in the VB code, or are C# & VB different when it comes to generic overload resolution? If I make the method arguments in Base non-generic then everything compiles correctly, but then I have to implement SetValue for every type that I wish to support.

We were working with a VB.Net app that contains something like 2200 VB modules/forms/classes and got a not-uncommon error message when we went to compile it. (Didn't write down the exact message, but it's basically unable to copy an image file that's in use.)Problem, of course, is that not everybody got out of the app when we told them to. Like I said, not uncommon. (It's a shared app that runs from a server.)Now, the weird thing. After kicking the offenders out, when we recompiled the program the image, which we use on search buttons, was gone. The file was still there but all of the property settings that referenced it were gone. Looked into the Designer code & they were gone from there, too. Seems to me that a compiler should *mark* the code that won't compile, not delete it.Anyway, I only see two courses. Either we restore our app from a backup, losing all our changes, or we go thru all the forms (like I said, there are 2200 modules-not sure how many are forms, but it's a bunch) and manually replace the properties on all the search buttons. Either way it's going to cost us at least a day's work.

What is the best way to keep my source code separate to the output from compilation? I can change the "Build output path", but I am still getting files created in the "obj" directory whenever I compile. I want to have a directory tree that only contains source code.David Streeter
