Compiling Executable To Work In All Frameworks?
Nov 29, 2010
I have created an exe file by compling on vb. However finding that not all systems like it and .net framework & isnt as compatible as you first think. I have create an application which doesnt use "imports" to reference anything. I compiled it in .net framework 2.0. It didnt work on XP machine which had .net Framework 4.0 got runtime error. Is there anyway making the compliled .exe available for all frameworks or am I going to have to create an .exe for each .net framework to encompass all versions?? Does it have to use .net framework at all depending on the application?

In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:
<data name="cmdFenster.ShortcutKeys" type="System.Windows.Forms.Keys, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>Ctrl+F1</value>
</data>
It will compile fine with VB2008, but not with VB2010. Notice: The VB2010 also generates this Code in the resx file

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

What's a good way to define what the Framework's are?Basically I'm looking for a good way to give a brief overview of what the .Net Frameworks are and why an average person should have them installed.

In Visual Studio i can select the target .net framework version, which for example defaults to 3.5. Now when i build my application with this setting, i guess it wont work on computers with .net framework 3.5 not installed, right?But lets say i choose .net framework 2.0 as target .net framework. Will my application work on computers that have .net 3.0 or .net 3.5 framework installed, but not 2.0?In other words: Is the .net framwork always backward-compatible?

I have 1.0, 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0 framework versions installed but when I edit/upgrade existing .NET applications, how can I target newer frameworks? I am using VS 2005. But I also have 2008 and Beta 2010.

I know this question has been asked before, but none of the existing SO questions provide an adequate answer for my specific case.
I'm the lone developer working on a project mostly during free time. I'm approaching 100 classes so far, and I'm starting to realize that testing that many classes is becoming daunting. Especially as I go back and add in operator overloads for =, <>, CType, and Not; implement IComparable(Of T), IEquatable(Of T), IEqualityComparer(Of T); and overriding base methods like Equals and GetHashCode.
My current testing method has been to randomly scribble out some Debug.Print code for a specific class/method on a dummy form behind a single button, run the project, click the button, and make sure the Debug window has my expected value. But this is both tedious and starting to become a time waster.
What I know that I need to do is for each and every class, draft up a set of tests specific to that class to test its functionality. So I go and look at testing frameworks like NUnit, Gallio/MbUnit, etc. But I really don't see the value in them. It so far seems that I could just write a dedicated test class for each implemented class, wrapped in #If DEBUG/#End If blocks, and link those to a bunch of buttons on a large form to run my tests.
But that could take weeks at my current rate. So I ask SO for their opinion on how to approach something like this. Am I better off figuring out how to integrate one of these open source testing frameworks into my project? Or should I just write a bunch of testing classes and output their data somewhere?
I use VB Express 2010 and VS 2010, depending on which computer I'm on so I'll need to be able to do testing in both.

I Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.

I am using VB .NET 2010 express, thought I don't know how much that matters. I was wanted to create an MSI installation of a bunch of EXE patches. How can I do this?
I already have a program made that downloads all the patches and places them in a folder. I just need something to takes all those and make them into 1 .msi file.

I have an application that we wrote here at work that uses the SharpSVN wrapper for SVN. It has served us well of the past few years. However, we have started bringing in 64-bit systems and our application cannot seem to access the SharpSVN dll on these systems. I have downloaded the 64-bit version of the SharpSVN dll and I am wondering what to do next. I cannot stop my 32-bit users from using the application, so I need to be able to compile for both platforms. Luckily, with this application, we split different layers of the ntier stack into separate projects within the solution so my business layer that utilizes the SharpSVN dll is on its own.How would I go about compiling both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of my application without having to maintain two copies of the project?

I have a 3rd party dll, and I can't have it referenced while compiling for 64 bit. Is there a way around this? I'm guessing it is because the dll is a 32 bit one, but I'm not sure about that.

How can I choose which resources to compile depending of the compile constants used? So, if VAR1=0 then I wouldn't add RESOURCE_A to my final assembly.
I searched around, but didn't find any info regarding this... I guess I'm using the wrong keywords, since I doubt nobody else had this problem/doubt ever before.
Also, I use both VS2005 and 2008 at my job, mainly VB, although I haven't got any problem using C# either.

I'm trying to compile some code that I found for an Application that I want to use. Now I've download VB.NET express created a new project and just replaced the code with the one I got, but this isn't creating the forms (textfields etc.) at all, so I can't compile it. What else do I have to do to be able to compile it.
This is the source code:
Public Class Form1
Dim psc As String
Dim pwchange As String
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I am having difficulty dynamically compiling a DLL for use with Silverlight 3.0. My goal is to take some rules provided by my users and compile them into a DLL for custom editing purposes.I created a Silverlight class library project in Visual Studio to get the command line for compiling a Silverlight class library. Based on that and the many examples for compiling VB using the VBCodeProvider, I came up with the following method for comping code in a string to a DLL:
Public Function Compile(ByVal code As String, ByVal assemblyName As String) As CompilerResults
' set the compiler parameters
Dim parameters As CompilerParameters = New CompilerParameters()
parameters.OutputAssembly = assemblyName
[code]....
This does not compile with the following error:vbc : Command line (0,0) : error BC2010: compilation failed : 'Member 'IsNumeric' cannot be found in class 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information'. This condition is usually the result of a mismatched 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll'.'
I've looked and, in fact, the Silverlight version of the class Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information does not contain member IsNumeric. So I appear to be picking up the correct libraries using the sdkpath option. But I have no idea why I'm trying to call that method in the first place.how to successfully compile source code dynamically into a Silverlight compatible class library?

Suppose I have a solution containing several projects. I set the compiling path as ..in folder. A reference file xxx.dll is used in project aaa, yyy.dll is used in project bbb etc.
xxx.dll and yyy.dll are stored in c:sharedlls folder.
My question is that if I compile the entire solution, do xxx.dll and yyy.dll are draged into ..in folder automatelly?
I am not clear the purpose of the compiling of the solution exactly.

After reading a couple of tutorials, it seems that basically NET works quite like java. All the IDE's produce an intermediate code that I have to distribute, and which NET compiles at runtime to machine code and then executes it. Leaving aside the question why so when NET works only on Windows platforms, I have some other more practical questions:Is it possible to directly compile to machine code targeted at specific platform like XP 32-bit or Win7 64-bit?

Is one able to compile VB 6 code in Visual Studio.NET ? In other words, is it backwards compatible with older VB code?Since I know there is a difference between managed code (.NET) and unmanaged code, I am wondering if Visual Studio.NET is able to compile unmanaged code as well?

I keep getting this error when I try and use a MS Access database in my application:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
After Google'ing the error for a while I came to see that this is a problem when running the application in 64-bit mode. If I was to compile the app in 32-bit it would work, so I went to try and find out how to do it. I got as far as the advanced compiling options in my projects settings page, but then I also read that I can't even set the CPU type in Visual Basic 2008 Express.
is this true? Is there no way I can set my project to run in 32-bit mode? The thing is, I did a similar thing with a database a few months ago and this worked, and I don't remember in the slightest what I did.
EDIT: After taking a look at my old projects compiling options, it is indeed set for Active (x86) Platform, but this option is not showing up in my new project. Weird.
EDIT 2: Here's a screenshot. Top one is the old project with the 32-bit running option and the bottom is the new one without those options.

compile my .hta file (and resources) to a .exe file.There are plenty of applications that claim to be able to do this - but they have not worked for this application - which is a mixture of javascript and VB.Simply, (and naively,) I don't want people looking at / screwing with the code.
EDIT: Of course, I understand that javascript and VB are not "compilable" since they are interpreted languages. I am just looking for a way to truly hide the source.

I have been using VB2005 for many years on 2 PCs. Over the last month I have been getting an error when I try to run the project from the IDE:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "objx86DebugBackup.exe" to "binx86DebugBackup.exe". The process cannot access the file 'binx86DebugBackup.exe' because it is being used by another process.
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets 2324 9 Backup
My questions:
1. What has changed?
2. One thread I found suggested that it is a bug, but if true is this something that has been introduced recently (I'm not aware up updating VB2005 unless it happened as part of the general updates).
3. How do I get it back to where it was?
The file is actually locked by my own process, no other application can be using it. I've even tried it with a few line noddy program. I always have to come right out of the IDE, wait a couple of minutes and then go back in - a total productivity killer.

It is my understanding that in .Net 4.0, VB will have an in-memory compiler.
I have to admit I don't know a lot about the compilers so I'm trying to understand the advantage of this as compared to what we had before this. Also, will C# be coming out with the same type of compiler?
