Combining Two Projects And Get A Single .sln File
Apr 19, 2012I want to combine two projects into one i.e. image and audio steganography with a single .sln file. How do I connect them? I'm using Visual Studio 2008.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
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
View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI'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 the old VB, there is a .bas file wherein i place all the global constants there and whenever i create a new project i just include that .bas file so that all the constants i placed are automatically added to my project. Is there any way to do this on VS2008? Ill be doing dozens of Class Libraries that that needs to reference global constants.
1. Is there any other way of referencing the global constants rather than making it a shared variable in a class?
2. Also, is there a way to include a .VB file without the copying it on the local project file? My point being is that this .VB file is also being used by other Class LIbraries that i created.
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 am using VB.NET 2010 with a solution that consists of class libraries and winform projects.
Each project has an app.config for it's specific needs. There are however, several settings that are common across all projects. I would like to implement a common config file to hold those, but that effort hasn't been very successful.
After much searching I developed a test program to play with and it was working until I moved the Globalsettings into a separate file. Below is a paste of my code along with the config files I've been experimenting with. I've added the references to system.configuration and made sure my config files are set to always copy to the output directory.
The code compiles, but GlobalSettingsLookup is never set to an instance of NamevalueCollection. I'm guessing it's because the ConfigurationManager can't load the section "GlobalSettings"(?) That's just a guess
My Code:
Dim GlobalsettingsLookup As NameValueCollection = CType(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("GlobalSettings"), System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection)

I'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?

View 3 RepliesI want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?
I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?
View 1 RepliesI'm running Visual Studio 2010 on a terminal server, and have been, with relatively few problems, for some time. This morning I fired up my PC and over the UK's long weekend, the following issue seems to have developed.I've got a bunch of projects (but not all of my projects, and not all of the projects in a given solution) complaining that a particular file (which does not exist on the computer) cannot be opened, and so those projects will not compile anymore. Here's the error:
Error 31 Unable to open module file'C:Users[username]AppDataLocalTemp2.NETFramework,Version=v4.0.AssemblyAttributes.vb':
System Error &H80070003&
I could simply copy the file into that directory and be done with it, I'm pretty sure that will work,EDIT: Okay, now things have gotten to a whole new level of weird. I've rebooted the server, I get the same error message, only now the file it is asking for exists and can be opened in Visual Studio with no problems. another part of the IDE still insists that it's unable to open the module file.
EDIT 2: Can't delete the file because it claims to be open in another program, but I've logged off and logged on again, and there shouldn't be anything accessing it.
EDIT 3: Because there's a wall of comments below his answer, I'll mention here that Jared's suggestion to delete the SUO file for the solutions having the problem (not files specifically to do with any of the problem projects, strangely) was what solved this, eventually.
