I wrote an application in VB.NET 2003 and would like to upgrade and use VB.NET 2008. Is there anything I should know before hand when converting my application from 2003 to 2008? Didn't know if it was like converting a VB 6.0 application to VB.NET.
View 2 RepliesI have an application that was developed and is maintained in VB.NET 2003. Is it possible to convert the 2003 files to Visual Studio 2008 and maintain the program in 2008? If so is this fairly easy to do?

View 5 RepliesI created a VB.NET winforms project using Visual Studio 2003, including reports done with CRystal Reports. I need to upgrade the system to the latest VB.NET using Visual Studio 2010. What kind of problems can I expect? How difficult will it be to convert the reports to Business Objects (which I believe is now th default in V Studio).
It's not a huge system about 6-8 screens and a similar number of reports using an Access 2000 Database. Most of the screens were coded directly in VB and not done with the automated processes at the time.
I am looking for a way to convert Access 2003 Forms to VB .NET (2010) forms. I don't care about the code, I can redo that no problem, but the forms have a lot of objects in them and I don't want to recreate them all. Any ideas? Preferably free??
View 2 RepliesI am upgrading from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. ow I should upgrade my project.My project is in Visual Basic.Net, and using an Access 2003 Database. I have four datasets, MainDataSet (for the main data tables) LookupDataSet (for lookup tables States, Countries, Colors, etc) OneFormDataSet (data used on only one form) and ReportsDataSet (data used for reports).I have one form "OleDbAdpatForm.vb", that has all the OleDbDataAdpaters for my project. It also has the DataSets and the OleDbConnection.I have public functions that enable me to load the data tables.
I have a LoadTable function when I can pass a column and a value, and the SQL select command is updated with a WHERE or HAVING, so only the requested data is selected. I also can pass the whole "WHERE ..." part of the SQL select command, so I can have multiple parameters in the SELECT command.On my other forms, I have copies of the DataSets, so I can design grids/controls. In the form_Load events, I manually bind the controls to DataSets and tables in located "OleDbAdpatForm.vb", so all forms are using the same data tables, and changes made to data in one form are reflected in data in other forms.The VS 2008's DataSources, BindingSources and TableAdapters seem much easier to use. how I should implement the new data features in my application?
Are the codes generated from Visual Studio.net 2003 Visual Basic fully convertible and compatible ti Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition ? I tried converting a project which was develop from VS 2003 for VB 2005 but after the process there are some commands which is not supported in the latter version. The deployment module in this project is also not recognised in VB 2005.
View 1 RepliesWe are currently running a 32-bit VB.NET 2005 application with a 32-bit SQL 2000 data store. The network guru is going to be upgrading the server and SQL to a 64-bit version on both. Will the 32-bit application still connect to the 64-bit data files? I am guessing I will somehow need to tie in the 64-bit drivers somehow, but will those work on a 32-bit development system?

View 4 RepliesFinal step in my application. I finally got all the requirements working, but now I need to have the application run in the background.

2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.

My boss wants the windows application to be same as the MS Access Application (both in design and logic). I don't how will i develop the windows form. How can I achieve this?

View 2 RepliesI've been asigned to a new project. I have to mantain an application wich was made in Visual Studio 2003 (VB.NET, Framework 1.1) and Crystal Reports wich came included with the IDE. The application is absolutely what we call "legacy code" :).Just to make the test, today I've tried to convert the application in Visual Studio 2010. The converter is offering me download SAP Crystal Reports, with no cost and no registration.The question is: Does anybody has experience with this components?. Is feasible to migrate an application as described to VS 2010?

View 3 RepliesI've developed a VB.NET application with Visual Studio 2008. The application communicates with SQL Server and processes a text file.
My question is about performance. While I run it from Visual Studio 2008, it takes 3 sec to complete. The same is when I run the executable created by the Setup Wizard on my desktop (Windows XP sp 3). But if I run the executable installed on a Windows 2003 Server, it takes 15 sec to complete! What could be the reason of degrading performance on the server vs. the desktop? The .Net framework 3.5 SP1 is installed both on the desktop and the server.
I can launch a program from inside my program and embedded it in my program using a Visual Basic Control such as a Panel. That works well if you launch say NotePad or Calculator.However, If I want to launch a program that uses MULTIPLE forms... all that gets embedded is the Main Form... All the other forms are floating on the desktop nonconstrained... So If I minimize my program the other forms are still shown.So what I am attempting to do is to get ALL the Forms from the external program embedded into their own objects on my form.Have pieced together a program from a couple of program samples that I have seen across the internet... Here's the code so far:[code]The Main form for the program that I am attempting to embed is 384 x 347 in size.Panel1 is a Panel Control on my Main Form."MyProgram.exe" is a program that I have written myself.I have looked at Spy++ for Visual Studio 2003 and it is able to identify ALL the forms from my program.My question is how do I embed ALL the forms from my external program in the NEW Program?

I have been developing a VB 2008 application which has been using Access as its database. The app is very far a long with about 30 forms and 45 DataSets I now must change the application to use SQLServer. Unfortunately all of the Table & Attributes names have changed in the new DB. Almost all of the data model has stay the same.
I have a few questions on the conversion.
The ConnectionString is currently pointing to the Access DB. I have entered the new ConnectionString into the Setting tab. What is the best approach to make the change?
I have done some testing to change the Table & Attributes names by using Quick Replace. It seams that sometime when I would do the rename I would lose the TableAdepter on some screens.
What is the best approach to performing the renaming task?

View 2 RepliesBasically I have an application that has 2 textboxes and a button. What I am trying to do is when the button is clicked, it takes an entered string from box one (which is validated to only accept numbers) adds 235 to it then converts it to hex and finally reverse the string and sets textbox two equal to that value. Note that the final string has to be eight digits so the string may needed to be padded with zeros before the string is reversed. With that said how could I go about doing this? Also I do plan to add 2 more textboxes and another button to undo this process but I am thinking if I can figure out do it one way writing the code to undo the process shouldn't be too hard.
