Combining Multiple Projects Into A Single One
Apr 19, 2008
I originally developed a simple application software [VB.Net + MS Access] (Lets call this project A) but now I want to include more functionality in it. I have an encryption/ decryption software utility (Lets call this project B ) and a Text to speech generation utility(Lets call this project C) . That is, I want to add Projects B and C to project A. [Such that clicking on the main form of project A calls a form from project B or C as desired].In solution explorer, I right clicked--Add Existing Project--and added both the above mentioned projects 1 by 1. (Added B and C to the solution explorer with the already present A).As the application software's (Project A's) main form is the main form of my project, I want to have a menu option on the main form (Of Project A) so that a user could click on one of the menu options and the main form of my other projects ( Project B or Project C or Encrypt/Decrypt or Voice Generation) should open by him doing so. To this effect, I tried the following:
1. I dragged the form simply from one of the projects (From B or C ) into the folder of my Application Software (Project A).This generated a lot of Build errors and the Voice Generation utility (Prj. C) would not work like this.
2. Tried to reference a dll, however the authors of Projects B and C did not include a dll in their projects.
3. Now I came to know that to call a form residing in another project folder or even another folder within the same project, you have to give a path for the form. HOW DO WE DO THIS?
As you can understand, I cannot copy the entire code of the 3 projects here....I will try attaching my project here though..Here it is: http: rapidshare.co...MY_Prj.zip.html[Dear Administrator: The downloading option on the webpage does not allow files bigger than I mb, thts why I used an external link]As I said, in the application, Project A is TMS.NET ; Project B is EncryptFile and Project is C.I encountered a problem while adding project C [spoken word], so the project contains only projects B and A. I will try to attach project C seperately.That is, TMS contains proj A+B and Speech contains C.

I've developed a couple of different stand-alone projects, myRibbonRTF and myRibbonCalendar and have them functioning well. I want to tie these together with other projects in a single solution called myMain. When I add these projects to the solution, their forms are not accessible in myMain (e.g. myRibbonRTF.frmMain.Show()). I've searched high and low for the last week trying to solve this and the only nearby solution is to turn the other projects into .dlls and access them in myMain that way.

I have a windows forms application with one exe and several dlls(Class libraries) in a single solution. The application uses common data that is used across all the dlls. I would like to load the data when the application is starting up and use the loaded data at various points in the dlls so that I do not have to load the common data again and again. How can I share the data loaded in main EXE across the DLLs?

In VB.NET I would like to create a complicated data structure with multiple types of data stored in an array like format (see below). I am trying to create a data structure that would look something like this: [Name; xLoc; yLoc; zLoc; [Jagged Array]] Note: Name needs to be dimensioned as a string, xLoc and so forth as integers. The Jagged Array would look like this:

As far as I know , it is possible to combine projects into a solution . So , lets say we have 3 projects . Each project has a starting form , lets call them SF1 , SF2 and SF3 .What I would like to ask you is how can I write code in order to have both the solution and the partial projects , working . You see , the solution (which as far as I know will also be accompanied by a new project) has to have a starting form ; lets call it SF0 .A) First of all I'd like to know how can I call a partial project from the solution itself .B) What code do I have to write in the partial projects in order to keep them running correctly when they are separate (that is not part of the solution) . I am asking this question too , because as I guess , there has to be code in SF1 , SF2 and SF3 (into buttons) that lead back to SF0 , but

I am attempting to combine multiple bitmap images into a single graphic object using Drawing.Drawing2D command but am noticing the image quality changes.I tried various combination of these ...
g.InterpolationMode = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
g.PixelOffsetMode = Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality
g.CompositingQuality = Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality
but did not get the "perfect" quality.What I want is one image to be in one region of the graphic object. Another image to be in another region. There is no overlapping of the image regions so essentially I want an source image to be as is in a given region. I noticed an option for "CombineMode" for Drawing2D but cannot figure out if and how to use this to get what I want.

I am trying to fill a temporary table with one column( a code) with the unique results of three queries of their respective table adapters.I can't figure out how to do it from here.The database is Access 2007 and I have activated the appropriate dataset on the form from which this code executes. The table adapters are part of that dataset.I could try to use the recordset approach, but that means making another connection to the same database.Is that a preferable approach?My purpose in doing this is to build a VB process like the one that works in a VBA Module of this Accessdatabase, partly to help me learn VB2008 and partly to overcome the necessity to keep updating queries used by the module.Code below

I have a database (SQL Server 2008) with multiple tables and records. 1 Table contains all kinds of invoice items, which have a unique id, Client ID and invoice number.
My goals is as following:
- I want to show the invoice items in an datagrid, all merged as 1 invoice item (showing date, total without VAT, total with VAT, VAT percentage, VAT value and if the invoice has been paid or not.)
- The datagrid should only contain the invoices for a specific client.
- Should add up totals (Amount paid, Amount not paid, Amount Overdue, Total Amount)
- Should be withing specific date range.
Everything in this table has been saved as varchar except invoice id and unique.

I have 2 workbooks( Book1 and Book2) with multiple sheets.I am only interested in one of the worksheets in the workbooks(both the worksheets names are the same).The thing is that the data is in the form of pivot tables, so each time i have to filter according to specific categories, copy and paste into another new workbook.The thing is column headings in both the worksheets are different,BUT BOTH the worksheets data must be combined into 1 single worksheet( row after row).
Meaning in Book1, my columns are in the form of Cost, revenue,margin and in book2, the columns are in the form of Cost,Revenue, Profit Margin %.... That means i must add a profit margin % column in Book1 and a Margin column in Book2 before I combine the data into a single worksheet. Each week, new data gets added into Book1 and Book2, so I wish to automate this by creating a code, so that when the source data changes, my new workbook's data also changes.

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and coding in VB.NET.
My problem is that I've collected all the modules I've written and intend to reuse and placed them in a separate folder. When I want to add a module from the above folder to any given project, it takes a copy of the module and places in the project's source code folder, instead of referencing the module in the folder containing all the other modules.
Is it possible to include a module in my project and leave it in the folder with all the other modules, so that when I improve upon a module, it'll affect all the projects that uses/references that module. Instead of me having to manually copy the new module to all the projects that uses/references the module. Right now I have multiple instances of the exact same module that i need to update manually when I improve code or add functionality?

I am currently working on an application that is about 90% finished, and we just got an addition that requires us to create a new project in the solution. My question is, I have a bunch of classes created in the main project that deal with the database, and it has a lot of functionality that I could really use in this other project.

I have a large application with multiple vb.net projects. I have one .sdf DB file for all of the projects. My problem is that when I add records to the DB in one project, it is not available when I try to access the data from another project. The project is looking in the local DataDirectory for that project where there is a copy of the DB file. Is there some way that I can create one folder for the DB and have every project access it. When I add the DB to each project, it creates and uses another copy in the bin folder of that project. I have tried setting the connection string in My.Settings to a common DB folder with no luck.
I also find that when I use Server Explorer to make changes to the DB, all of my data is wiped out. I also don't see any records when I choose Show Table Data in Server Explorer. I am assuming that the records are in the copy in the Bin folder.

I've developed a stand-alone RTF project/solution and a stand-alone calendar project/solution. I'm trying to incorporate them into a master project/ solution.If I just add the RTF & Calendar projects to the master solution, I cannot access them from the Main form of the master project. It just doesn't see them. Just adding the forms doesn't work because it doesn't contain all of the necessary information embedded in the project (references, etc.)

I thought I'd give VB a go after developing with C# for the past few months. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and have imported the VB IDE settings. I'm going through the same steps in VB as I've gone through in C# to create my solution for an n-tiered ASP.NET web application, but the results are unexpected. Here's the steps:
1. File > New Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution .... name the solution & choose the location ...
2. At this point, I want to proceed to add projects as follows by right-click on the solution in solution explorer
a. Add > Visual Basic > Web > ASP.NET Web Application ... name / location of the Web Client
b. Add > Visual Basic > Windows > Class Library.. name / location of the Business Layer
c. Add > VB > Windows > Class Library ... name / location of the Data Access Layer
BUT, as soon as I complete step 2a, the solution disappears from solution explorer. "Show all files" is selected. This happens regardless of the project I create first.

All too often, when I am looking for sample .NET code to do something and actually find it, it is written in C#. I am by no means proficient with C#... I can read and follow the logic of C# or modify the code, though I have difficulty following along since everything ends in "}".So what do I do? I create a solution with 2 projects. I put the C# code in one project and VB code in the other project. The VB project references the C# project and I modify the C# as necessary so I can call the useful code from the VB project.The current C# code I'm working with is a rather large project. Specifically what it does is handle input from HIDs (specifically I want to use it for input from a media remote).What I wanted to do was leave the C# code pretty much alone and just call a VB subroutine when any HID input is received (many of the remote buttons can't be distinguished from keyboard keystrokes) and process them in VB. Problem is that the VB code also needs access to pieces of the C# code (circular reference). Ideally what I'd want to do is create a VB module within the C# project (since VB.NET and C#.NET are functionally equivalent -- mostly -- though syntactically different). I've used compilers in the past with similar functionality, though I don't know if VS.NET 2008 has this capability. If I just add a module to the C# project, it expects it to be written in C#.If I can't do that, I see 3 options:
1) Write my application in C#
2) Write a new class in C# that exposes the functionality I need, instantiate it in VB
3) Convert all the C# code to VB
These options are beyond my current skillset (except maybe 3), though now is just as good a time as any to learn C#. But this may require more time than I'm willing to invest. I just wanted to create a task launcher / application switcher to be able to switch between music, video, and other players. I, in fact, already have most of the VB code I need from another project, including a DirectX "cover flow" style interface. I just want to add remote control support to it.

Over the past months I have been working on small windows forms applications and learning vb as i go along. The aim was to pull these altogether into one big application.
I am now at the stage of pulling these together I have created a new project (called MainMenu) and designed all the buttons and interface. I have added my other projects (SISApp, CURApp) to this project. File > Add > Existing Project. I can see these projects in the solution explorer.
Now my problem. How can show Form2 in the SISApp project when I click ButtonX in the MainMenu project.
I dont just want to show Form2, i want all the functionality and the database connection in form2 to also work etc.

I have written a few different applications in the past few years, all of which are related in that they help users creating maps/levels for a certain game. I would like to 'bundle' all these applications together, into one application (and will later add more functionality to that). In it's most basic form, it would simply be one single Form with buttons, where each button opens the corresponding application.

I've been doing some lite coding over the last couple years so I'm no where near where a lot of you already are. So my code tends to be organized in the standard beginners format... one project per solution with one executable (*.dll or *.exe). So I have a bit of a "best-practices" question for you... Why use multiple projects in one solution?

How would i reference a control or form from another project. I have a solution with multiple projects (Project1 & Project2 for example) and I want a button on Form1 of Project1 to open Form1 on Project2. I know if they were part of the same project it would simply be Form1.Show() and I thought something like Project2.Form1.Show() would work but unfortunately it doesn't seem that easy.
