Is there a manual or can someone provide a description on how to use the Microsoft Visual Basic/C++ 2008 Express Edition to create a .ocx or activex file? I have an application where I need to create and OCX to embed in a 3rd party software program. I have the application developed but I need a .ocx file to register the application for the project. I did this a while back in V6 but the newer version seems to be different

I am a competent (but not much more) VB6.0 programmer. I'm still developing software in VB6 and want to upgrade to VB.NET. I primarily write simple software to control proprietary hardware which is called by Active X. I need to figure out how to do this in VB.NET before I can switch over to the new version.In VB6, I connect to the VB6 by adding references to the DLLs (under project / references). When I load the main form, I declare:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set o = New CBEDCSApp
End Sub

I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I have looked all over the web for a way to create an activex DLL in VB 2008. I have seen instructions for VB 2005 and VB 6. They both mention that I need to create a new project and use the template Activex DLL for the project, but I do not have the option "Activex DLL" for a template. Is there a way around this or can i download the template from somewhere? The background to the problem is that I have a DLL file (compiled in Delphi) that I can load and use correctly in VB 2008. I want to use VB 2008 to make this an Activex DLL so that it can be used with ASP.net. I have had no such luck. I have created a DLL using the Class template, but this DLL cannot be registered with the regsvr32.exe for usage with ASP.net.
View 2 RepliesMy company currently has vb.net 2003. I am tasked with evaluating vb.net 2008. And suggest if upgrading to 2008 edition is necessary or if it will be beneficial. For this purpose I decided to experiment with vb.net 2008 express. I have some questions regarding this.
1) Will vb.net 2008 express edition will give me idea about new features etc. ?
2) If I install vb.net 2008 express edition on machine which has vb.net 2003, will it cause any problems to vb.net 2003 ?
3) If I code in vb.net 2008 express edition, on upgrading will this same code work ?

The radio recently broke in our bedroom and as a result my missus now listen to various radio stations through her laptop. She moans that visiting various pages and clicking the 'listen' link is a bit of a pain.(Note to self: Must buy new radio!)In the meantime, I have made a 'radio player' in VB 2008 Express, which is nothing more than 6 buttons down the left hand side of the 'player' I have created and a Web Browser Control on the right hand side.Clicking each button links to the relevant player of the station she wants to listen to. (Being a newbie to VB and programming, I'm quite proud with what I've achieved so far!!)Anyway, one station I do link to gives an "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page" prompt: [URL]Is there a way to suppress this message in VB, or even auto-answer OK somehow?
The other sites I have linked to do not display this message, they just navigate away quite happily. Clicking OK on the prompt is no real hardship either, I hear you say, but in the interests of usability, I would just like it to navigate away from the site/player without prompting.Remember, I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

View 2 RepliesIv'e been away from Visual Basic for the past 3 or 4 years so I am a bit vague on the details that I am looking for.
I got myself my first programming job at the company that I work for and I start Monday.
The company has little programming knowledge (well I assumed this as they said they do not have a dedicated programming IDE at my interview) and relies on ad-hoc VBA scripts to perform necessary processing on data. This is all fine and I can deal with that but there is a project that I wish to work on and I think a standalone dedicated application would be much better than extending Excel with VBA.
Now after being with the company for 10+ years, I know they are conservative at spending money so asking them to buy Visual Studio is not really an option so I'm going to suggest that instead of using VBA, I will design an application using Visual Basic Express.
All I need to know is, if there are any kind of limitation to database accessing with the express editions? (Iv'e only ever used OLEDB connected to small MS Access files) I do not know what type of database the company uses yet, but I do know they use ODBC to connect to it, and rely on Sage to do 90% of their work.

View 1 RepliesWorking on a class project where one heading in a lisbox has to be indented while the subsequent information has to be right-justified. Not sure how this is done.Have tried writing code like:
'To list cost of parts in listbox
''Formatted so value is in U.S. currency
lstTotal.Items.Add("Parts" & ControlChars.Tab & ControlChars.Tab & ControlChars.Tab & parts.ToString("C"))
But using ControlChars.Tab over and over again doesn't seem very efficient. The spacing in the listbox looks uneven and the code looks more cumbersome--less easy to read.
I'm creating an application and I want to pass on a string value from one form to the other.Is there an access modifier in VB 2008 EE that would allow me to do that?Example: I have a name such as Mike in one form, in a list box, and Mike has a file attached to it with different information.I then click on a button to load another form, where the name Mike will be passed on and will be used by my program to find the file and display all the information in the file of his name.

View 2 Repliesi have a project and i used NSIS to create a Setup file. I am able to install it to my system but some parts of the program do not work (and they work when i run my project in VB). For example i have a Back Up option that creates a back up but this does not work when i run the application via the installation file. Probably it has something to do with the directories?

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(CurDirectory + "Backup Folder")

how can i make it work from the installation file? Do i need to copy something somewhere?
