I create a Windows Form Application with Framework 4 (x86) in Windows 7 x64 Ultimate using Visual Studio Ultimate 2010 x86.
How I convert my app to run with old .NET Frameworks? My app need to be compatible with more number of computers as possible without need to install the new version of framework
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?
View 3 RepliesWhat'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.
View 3 RepliesIn 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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI 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'm looking on the Internet but not found anything about how to detect what the frameworks are installed. Someone I can provide that code to VB. Net? TcoUpLoad (work with Vb6 and VbNet)

View 2 RepliesI want to test if the 2 objects values can be compared.
For example if I have a variable define as an object which contains a value of "A" and another variable defined as an object with a value of 0. (These must be defined as type Object.)
When I do a simple compare If Object1 <> Object2 Then etc. I get an error. So how do I test to see if the objects are comparable? I have looked at TryCast , DirectCast, Ctype etc but cannot see

All I was able to figure out is a decleration for GetRawInputDeviceList which atm isn't working for me, I tried passing lots of different values in to get something to work, i've got outputs of -1, 0, and 1 from it but I use a mouse/keyboard & also have a controller hooked up...I also am not retrieving any information on what type of device(s) that might be hooked up/detected.The deceleration types & the like may be off but I translated from C++ code.
Declare Function GetRawInputDeviceList Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal pRawInputDeviceList As IntPtr, ByRef puiNumDevices As Int32, ByVal cbSize As Int32) As Int32
I have created a Visual Basic ActiveX DLL project. The output of this project ( a dll )gets loaded inside VB6 runtime i.e. a process which is loaded with msvbvm60.dll. I used Visual Basic 6.0 IDE ( vb6.exe:name of compiler ) to create this project. Now my requirement is to create a similar dll which can run inside VB5 runtime ( msvbvm50.dll ). I assumed that there should be some Visual Basic 5 IDE ( vb5.exe ) which can be used to create VB5 runtime compatible dll, but could not find one

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make my application run on Windows 7 X64. The application runs fine, however the explorer process keeps crashing after i started or ended the application.

I am currently creating a web service in vb.net and I would like to ask the community what is the best way to make this compatible for PHP users and other languages.An example of my code is as follows:

My question is will this method be compatible with PHP consumption.
I need an API for sendmessage and sendmessagetimeout for my VB .net application. I have searched quite a bit, and everything I find doesn't seem to work: either the message just doesnt seem to be sent, or the message appears to be sent with the msg parameter always 0, and the wparam setting as what I enter for the msg setting. Pinvoke's also always seems to throw an AccessViolationException for I have no idea what reason. I tried playing around with maybe just where I put the variable, but unsurprisingly, there is not a simple logical switch of the variables.I have tried pinvoke's:

Now, my program is compatible with the bottom 3, and with 64 bit computers, the problem is that my program has to have the .NET framework 3.5 installed, which meens XP needs updated and that framework installed, and on earlier versions, it wont install the framework through windows update and the like, also, I cant expect people who want to use it to have it installed, can anyone explain a way for me to make it so my program if its possible, then whatever features may use that framework, if just not calling that code will stop the program from crashing, or if i can make it use older version instead of a newer version framework, maybe only in certain cases.
Is anyone familiar with making a program compiled in visual basic .net compatible with windows vista 64 bit, The installer gets a runtime error initially but then If I runt it as administrator it runs fine, After it's installed I get a ocx error but when I run the program in admin mode again it works fine, How can I go about editing my program so that it doesn't come up with the errors. Can I get the program to initially run as the administrator?

I've made a program in Visual Basic 2010 SP1, but users that are on Windows XP report that it isn't compatible, although they have installed Microsoft.NET Framework 4. I even tested it myself on a WinXP computer with the latest framework and it just crashes. My computer has Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. All my other programs are compatible with XP, but this one isn't. I have developed this program in Visual Basic 2010 SP1, and the other were developed in the normal Visual Basic 2010. Does this problem have anything to do with Visual Basic 2010 SP1?
