View 6 RepliesVisual Basic Project - Student Check In Form using an Access database backend This form needs to draw information from an Access database containg tables for STUDENT, INSTRUCTOR, and SECTION. These all need to have primary keys and ids. When (the user) clicks on the drop down box that displays all the sections:
{Table Tennis 1, Table Tennis 2, Table Tennis 3, Billiards 1, Billiards 2, Billiards 3}This should populate the listbox or datagrid from the STUDENT table with the Students that have the same SECTIONID as the SECTION selected in the drop down menu above.
After the Student list has been populated (the user) clicks on a student name in the listbox/datagrid and this inserts that student into the CHECKEDIN table that has a datagrid/listbox associated with it.
This is a great project to practice connecting a database to Visual Studio 2008 .net and playing with the data that has been pulled in. You could use SQL instead of Access.
I am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?

View 2 RepliesI have a Visual Basic project and when working and modifying code, the compiler will crash and then a message will say something like "Microsoft visual studio encountered a problem and was shut down."

Solution will compile and build.
View 3 RepliesIm creating an unmanaged DLL in Visual Studio 2010.In order to test my DLL I have created another project with Visual Basic and i've attached it to the solution.VB code calls to my InstallHook function in the DLL, passing a delegate of the callback function at VB. Then the DLL creates a hook and everytime a key is pressed the VB callback is called receiving the key and some other params as argument.
Well, the problem is that after some keys has been pressed, and the buffer in the VB callback reaches a specific size, the program crash. To be more specific, when the callback is called by the last time and it writes into its buffer in VB, it's like it overlaps in somewhere because the next time the callback is going to be called in the DLL, the program crash without reach the callback (the pointer in the dll is fine)I dont understand well the architecture of .Net and i dont know exactly what could be wrong, but im very confident in the code i've done and the problem should be something technical with the memory management in .Net.
Edit: I forgot to say that if I call the callback from within the VB code, then it works fine. The callback is normally called from a WndProc installed in the same window.

I'm trying to create heirarchy of classes in vb.net. I was able to achieve it in csharp by using the following tags in .csproj

Below snippet in the solution explorer would be as follows
I need to achieve the same in vb.net.
I'm new to vb.net. Can anybody tell me the alternative of <DependUpon> attribute used in .csproj equivalent in .vbproj. For some reason, this attribute seems to be ignored in the .vbproj even though it is displayed in the visualstudio2010 intellisence.
I am converting an older software package written in VB 6 to VS 2010.Not to incredibly painful but planning for the future as we have had lets say a few issues with VB 6 on our current layout of multiple OS and this is my first real project lead.We are a smaller job shop and we move on a rotation of new PC's/OS's come in to replace broken or exhausted older PC's in the front office and move the older PC's out to the shop floor.We have an array of different OS's ranging from Windows 98 and Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit OS). By the time I am done with the conversion we should be sitting comfortable with a range of PC's from XP and up. When creating the executable for my project is this something that can be handled ahead of time, creating multiple executables for specified OS, or an all in one package executable?I was looking to see what people had as suggestions at handling this.We haven't even bought VS yet and are looking at the VS 2010 Premium package, do I need Ultimate?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.
In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides.
