Create A Basic Application That Will Act As A Tutorial For How To Use Another App
Sep 25, 2011
I have a very particular application I have developed. I want to create a second appideally in visual basic, that provides a tutorial/ guide on how to use my original app step by step.I imagine PowerPoint slide style images embedded in a simple window with forward & back controls.I have experience in java, C & VB. Ideally the app needs be be kept simple and written in VB. Can anyone recommend a starting point, or if any tutorials for such exist? I've had a search and nothing stands out.
I have experience in C++ programming, but never created gui with it so learning vb.net for some quick gui development. and i want to learn vb.net. I can't install visual basic express on computer cause i'm on shared computer and such huge install is not possible on that computer. So i picked up sharpdevelop. After searching most of the tutorial, i found out that most of tutorial written for visual studio IDE for vb and vb.net. I'm trying to learn vb.net in depth from command line to gui programs. Any good recommendation of tutorials, book ? I searched google but very few results so far. I'm looking for good learning tutorials that can help learn with sharpdevelop.any suggestion for tutorial and books that mentions sharpdevelop in their tutorial/guide ?

Does anyone know of a way to create a demo disc (CD) of a Visual Basic ClickOnce application? I used to be able to download the exe file and run it. I'd like to show my work via a disc rather than create a file to install on a users' computer.

I try to follow the "Creating your own database" tutorial in the help documentation of VB2008 Express Edition. When click "Add new Item" > "Local Database" > "Add", I don't see the Data Source Configuration Wizard. Instead I see the message:
"The data provider required to connect to the local data file could not be found. The file will be added to the project but the typed DataSet associated with the file will not be generated".

I'm trying to create a basic mmo game for fun in vb.net. I have done it before with a game api but I'm recently reformat my computer and can no longer find it. I'm trying to dynamically create a new picture box that will be my character or NPC and I can get the image to show up on the screen correctly but I'm not able to use "myGuy" anywhere else in the project. So the character basically sits there and does nothing. I'm wondering if there is away to call "myGuy" (myGuy.Top = 40) in another sub? If you know of a good game api that is not a hog and not expensive let me know.
I am using ASP.net, I know the basic of VB.net language, don't really want to use HTML, I did not use it since school. I was thinking to create a forum for my mates, I think I will need to create a database and try to play with SQL commands, I thought it should'nt be a lot difficult.
I have a .NET 2010 project. In it, I create a basic user class. Instantiate it and successfully fill it with data. The entire time it is doing this, if I hover over the class, it says it is nothing, even as it fills its properties. Later on, it hoses me in the UI, even though the property has a value it says the class is nothing.
I DO instatiate the class...
Dim oExtendedUser As New ExtendedUser
And here is the classs definition...
Public Class ExtendedUser Inherits System.Web.Security.MembershipUser
[CODE]..............
I changed the class. I added MyBase.New() but the problem persists. On the UI, here is the code that executes when the button is clicked. Director has, as a proprety, ExtendedUSer
NetShareAdd API from a VB.NET application (.NET version 2.0) and although I can get the API to just create a basic shared folder I now want to create a shared folder and specify its Share permissions (not NTFS permissions) as well, which means I have to pass in a SHARE_INFO_502 structure rather than just a SHARE_INFO_2 like I was previously doing for creating a basic share. I have spent over 5 hours solid just trying to get this working and am getting to the point now where I really cant think of anything else to try.I've encountered several problems whilst trying to make this work but the one I am finally stuck on is this: When I call NetShareAdd it returns the error INVALID_PARAMETER and the parm_ err object (which is supposed to specify which member of the SHARE_INFO_502 structure caused the error) holds the value 501. I know it is something to do with the security descriptor because if I comment out the line where I set the SHARE_INFO_502 structure's shi502_ security_descriptor field then the code works without an error (just obviously does not set the share permissons I want).I think posting all of the code here might be a bad idea as its currently over 150 lines long (yes that is only code for getting this API working...) so I'll just post my definitions of the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure and the code I am actually using to call the various APIs involved: [code] Each of those API calls prior to NetShareAdd returns a non-error value in the Debug.WriteLine that is done after each one, but there is obviously an issue somewhere with the security descriptor.
using visual studio 2008 and programming in visual basic. i need to create a ftp server and am not sure where to start...i've tried to find anything that would help but all i come up with is the system.net.ftpwebrequest object but nothing really about how to use it. i need it to download files only, show connections, the ip addresses connected and the progess of the file transfer.
I am trying to create a DLL from a class library in Visual Basic.
First I created a new Project in Visual Basic Express 2010 as a class library. Then I added a class which contains a function that I want to access in another program. This is why I want to export the class library as a DLL. In visual studio I am compiling the project which refreshes the saved dll in the bin folder of the project directory. When I open this dll or include it as a reference in another executable visual basic project, it does not find the function. how to generate a dll from a visual basic class library properly?
Here is the code of the class stored in the class library project:
Public Class Test Public erg As String Public Shared Function fTest(ByVal in As String, ByRef out As String) As Boolean

how to make a layered form (im a begginer!). I've found something about calling API, but that sounded like old; cant I do this with .Net? If api is necessary, with that hwnd thing, how do I call it? And if you are so kind, is there a way to search for thing only for visual basic .net 2010? Because i dont find a way to practice a strict filter, and visual basic 6, or old visual basic stuff (if not other languages) appear mixed with the program i use.
I am trying to create a Neural network project to do some basic tasks, and have created some structures which I am implimenting. However my problem comes when I try to loop through and populate the data. I am doing this with a For Each loop which seems to work but it seems to be populating a temporary copy of the structure in memory and not the structure being implimented
The code below shows my structures which i initially had as individual structures in a seperate module but then i nested them which seems to work the same, is there anyhting wrong with nesting the structures like this.
Public Structure NeuralNetwork Public LayerCount As Integer Public Layers() As Layer
