Common .vb File For All Projects?
Apr 17, 2011
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 vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed.This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application.Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict.

Essentially, whenever my users who are logged in via a global module level variable enter a new form, their activity is "logged" in a textfile with their UserID as the name.txt and every time they visit a page it adds a new line to their log file with a number corresponding to the form they visited. For example, if they select "add a user" it will add the line "1" to their log file. Note: At the moment there is only 1 2 and 3 not 0.
I have got this far and I have got as far as creating an array which has:
Array(0) = NumberOfTimes 0 appears in the log file
Array(1) = NumberOfTimes 1 appears in the log file
etc etc
Therefore the output for this is
Msgbox(Array(0)) shows "0"
MsgBox(Array(1)) shows "4" for example and lets just say
MsgBox(Array(2)) shows "9" and
MsgBox(Array(3)) shows "1"
Therefore, finally (!) my problem is now finding which 3 are the top. I have tried various methods of sorting them but I just get "9, 4, 1, 0" rather than "2, 1, 3, 0". (By the way the end product for this is to show three links on the "welcome form" of the users 3 most visited forms). Here is a pastebin of all the rubbish I have currently tried that hasn't worked!

i have a vb script that is imbeded in an html page (hta). when i use the common dialog flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect the file list is present in the filename object and are separated by a space. however when i use dialog flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNExplorer the files that i selected on the dialog box, are not present in the filename object. the only thing that's there, is the path to the files. here's the code:
Const cdlOFNAllowMultiselect = 512Const cdlOFNExplorer = 524288Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")ObjFSO.Filter = "All Files|*.*"ObjFSO.FilterIndex = 1
ObjFSO.InitialDir = "c:" ObjFSO.Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect or cdlOFNExplorerinitFSO = ObjFSO.ShowOpen selected_files = ObjFso.FileName msgbox selected_files
how can i get the files names?

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?

I'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.

Why would a .sln solution file open and appear empty in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express - i.e. no windows showing projects and code files etc.When I inspect the file in a text editor, it contains references to vbproj files (which are present) which indicate that it should not appear as empty.No error messages are reported when the file is opened.

Is it possible to set up a common event handler for a group of like controls like buttons or text boxes so a single event handler is called regardless of which of the controls is clicked, changed, etc.In my PrinterDialog study project I have 5 text boxes named TB1, TB2, TB3, TB4 and TB5 in a text box array called TBs so they can be accessed with TBs(0), TBs(1), etc.My question is if I can set up a single click event that responds when any of the 5 text boxes are clicked to avoid duplicate code n 5 different click events.

Starting from a table like this:
| Code | Year |
---------------
| A01 | 2001 |
| A01 | 2002 |
| B01 | 2002 |
| C01 | 2003 |
I have to arrive to this:
| Code | Year |
---------------
| A01 | 2001 |
| B01 | 2002 |
| C01 | 2003 |
I have to group the first column (Code) and from the second (Year) I have to get the data 'less common as possible' compared to all the other records. I try to explain this with the example: for the code 'A01' I have 2 years: '2001' and '2002'. I have to take '2001' because it's the one that not recurs in the other records. In the case that there aren't available values 'Year' that not recurs in the other records, it's good to take whatever value.
The data are in the form of array in memory and to interact with them I'm useng some LINQ queries.

i made an application using VB.NET 2010. i have 5 forms. i want to know how to make one common navigation (like in a webpage) for this application. Is it possible to have the menu and header static and loads each form in one dynamic container. I hope my questing is clear :P just to make it more cleared, it is more like having a templates in php coding where we can load other page in a particular area without having to reload the entire page with each links.

I am looking for a way to modify the default values in windows vista and or 7.
Examples:
* The default directory for the save/save-as dialog box.
* The size of the window.
* The "favorites" list on the left of the box.
I have been looking for a while and the only thing I can find is to edit the group policy but this will only affect programs that are using the xp dialog box.I am sure this is actualy pretty easy but I cannot find anything for the life of me

Here is a complicated, but possibly dumb question concerning adding projects together in the IDE in order to increase performance and share memory at the same time.I have written two distinct exe's. The first exe (file processsor) operates using three timers to perform communication between a hardware OEM proprietary ComServer and file output from the second exe. The second exe (work generator) simply outputs files on hard disk so that the "file processor" can process the commands in the order given. The first exe was written as a "background processor" to the second exe in a stand-alone fashion. There is a need to communicate data between the first and second exe that is time sensitive. The ComServer called by the "file processor" only allows one port to for communication to the hardware device that is a USB. The "file processor" is capable of extracting the data required but the existing technologies, such as RPC, IPC are too slow and or full of pitfalls. Microsoft's Memory Manger has found it easier to create multiple instances of the proprietary ComServer and assign the needed memory to the calling routine so that it can "scoot" memory easily in the garbage collection feature of the operating system. What this does is cause the mullitple instances that are created to "gang up" on the device either slowing its performance down, or causing time outs. [The second process is a custom 3-D graphical CAD/CAM. The first process is a machine interface. Although hind-sight is 20-20, it seemed more ideal to write this background or file processor independantly, as then it could communicate with existing as well as a custom CAD/CAMs.]
Simply writing the first processes' code into the second slows down the second process as a result of all the timer interrupts looking for work to do. (Mouse is squirrely, screen refresh is slow, etc.) I am only guessing here that the operating system's service of the more complicated single memory location is somehow interrupted more frequently for a larger project, than two smaller independant projects running seperately. I only know what I observer here. Interestingly, the two smaller projects running seperately seem to run fine.
Now for the dumb question. Is it possible to merge the "file processor" with the "work generator" in the IDE such that each process runs as independantly as two distinct apps, but at the same time, make it possible to share memory via one Module1.vb? So far, I cannot find a way for the "file processor" to see the "work generator's" Module1.vb, regardless of how many PUBLIC statements I issue in the code. In other words, what would be the steps after File->Add-> Existing Project to cause the "file processor" project with a form to start first, then drop to the background, followed by launching of the "work generator" second where each process shares the same Module1.vb?.
If this could be done, say through a compiler statement, or whatever; then this could make the Memory Manger folks happy, and provide for the speed required to operate real world processes? Basic computer science suggests a simple processor LD instruction could make data available to any application within a few clock ticks. Microsoft now longer allows direct memory access, or the ability to carve out a "stay resident" dll in memory where a memory location can be called for quick distribution information to all apps with just one call to a device.
