DLLs - Error "newForm1 Cannot Expose Type 'form1' Outside The Project Through Class GlobalData"
Feb 18, 2010
For a test scenario I have a dll project. In the project I have 1 generic class 'GlobalData' and 1 form 'form1' in the generic class I would like to make a public shared newForm1 as new form1 the line of code I'm trying is: Public shared newForm1 as new form1 I get the error newForm1 cannot expose type 'form1' outside the project through class 'GlobalData'. I really need to be able to make a public shared reference to form1. Any way to get around this? Background as to why I need to do this: I have several projects that need to use Form1 as a mdi child. I would like to just update the dll and not have to go back and update the same form in 50 projects.
I am confused by this error message... '_TagName cannot expose type 'basConstGlobals.TagInfo' outside the project through module 'basTest' ?i get the blue line in the 'basTest.WTag Function defination...I have a module....
Module basConstGlobals
Public Enum PType as Integer PT_UnKnown= 0 PT_Discrete = 1[code].....
How do I reference the library project when I get this error?
"A project with an output type of class library cannot be started directly In Order to debug this project, add an executable project to this solution which references this library project. Set the executable project as the startup project."
I have downloaded the attached code from codeproject site, i'm new in vb.net, i have some background knowledge in vb6. when i try to run the code the following error message is diplayed:"A project with a output type of class library cannot be started directly"
I created a simple user control and everything went fine.Then I created another of the same control (as a different project) from scratch (creating the controls in a different configuration; but pasting code from the previous one from a text file).As far as I know I did everything the same for creating a user controlCreate a Class Library project Then Project>Add New Item> User Control Then delete the initial class that was added automatically (usually named Class1.vb) Put all of my code and components into the user control class.However, when I wanted to run it in the debugger as I did in the previous project, I now get an error message:"A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started directly."
I just upgraded from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate. Now I have a program in which I am receiving the following error:"There is no editor available for C:...Form1.vb. Make sure the application type (.vb) is installed."
This occurs when I try to open the designer view of the form.This problem does not exist in new programs (ones created after the upgrade).I am at a loss to explain this.
I have a Public Class called "ClientConnection". Inside that class, I have a Public ReadOnly Property called "FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID)". The property returns an object of the class "FileTransfer". All methods in FileTransfer are set to public.
VS is able to discover the methods inside the parent class "ClientConnection". How would I expose the methods inside the sub-class "FileTransfer" that is returned by the property "FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID)"?
Public Class ClientConnection 'irreverent code removed Public ReadOnly Property FileTransfers(ByVal TransferID As Integer)
I am trying to implement transactions across multiple TableAdapters in VB.NET (using Visual Studio 2010) by extending the partial class as described in the following examples:
I have a project that references two DLL files in the system 32 directory as COM references. The files are certenroll.dll and certcli.dll which are included in the system32 directory as part of the OS. My app is a console application that I'd like to have as a standalone exe. It seems that the these files are converted to something like Interop.CERTENROLLLib.dll and Interop.CERTCLIENTLib.dll and dropped in the bin directory for my project. Since I want the app to be a standalone exe able to run on other PC's I'd rather see the app reference the original DLL files in the system32 directory and not have to carry these dependency files around with it.
I have 2 projects, one built in VB.NET and another in C#.NET. I want to use certain functionality of VB.NET into C#.NET and hence I have added the dll file of VB.NET solution into C#.NET as a reference by browsing the dll from my system. Say dll name for VB.NET is myData.dll. In my C#.NET project I am trying to declare it as a namespace i.e. "using myData;" and its giving me an error of "Type or namespace name could not be found"
CREATE TABLE [LogLevel] ( [Id] int primary key ,[Name] nvarchar(50) not null
[code]....
After creating a fresh endity model, I add the two tables above. When I try to build I get the following errors...
Type argument 'Inxsol.CommandPlan.Data.Model.Log.LogLevel' does not satisfy the 'Class' constraint for type parameter 'TEntity'. Value of type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityReference(Of Inxsol.CommandPlan.Data.Model.LogLevel)' cannot be converted to 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityReference(Of Inxsol.CommandPlan.Data.Model.Log.LogLevel)'.
I have a vb.net 3.5 class library project that needs to reference two assemblies that have the same namespace. We have two third party dll's in which one is version 5.1 and the other is version 6.1. They have the same dll filename and they utilize the same namespace and functions/class names. The project needs to use one or the other depending on a specific situation. I've investigated up on a c# process that uses the "extern alias" feature to pull in the different assemblies.
[URL]
What use is the Aliases property of assembly references in Visual Studio 8.It seems that this feature isn't fully available for vb.net. Things I've Tried I've renamed the 2nd dll and added both references to my project. At this point I get tons of: 'blah' is ambiguous in the namespace. So I need to alias the different versions. In vb.net you can do aliases on an imports statement like:
Imports version5 = Somedll.Something
The problem is I can't setup an assembly reference alias for the different versions of the dll. Apparently in vb.net you can't set these up in the reference properties window. So I tried setting them in in my project file like this:
I have created an application and a setup application for it.The application references Microsoft.mshtml.dll and another custom dll.The problem is that despite the fact that i added to the setup project the output of the application, these two dlls were not added in the setup project's "detected dependencies". Do i have to add them manually ? Do you know if Microsoft.mshtml.dll (C:Program FilesMicrosoft.NETPrimary Interop AssembliesMicrosoft.mshtml.dll)will work both on Windows XP and Windows Vista no matter what version of Internet Explorer is installed ?
Years back I inherited a project that is written in VB.net - the problem with this site (it's a website in Visual Studio, not a web application) is that if you change any code you have to compile and upload the entire site each time.
Why? Because it seems to generate a bunch (maybe 10-15) of randomly named DLLs in the BIN directory on every compilation. Each page in the site then references these randomly named DLLs so I have to upload them all and the new DLLs if the site is to continue working.
What 'setting' is this site built using, or more importantly how can I change it to a more convenient system of generating one or two consistently named DLLs?
I've downloaded the MSDN "101 VB Samples" from the MS site and I'm getting an error that reads "The project type is not supported by this installation". I can open the other files that I've tried (about a dozen in other folders), so I'm wondering if it is something specific with the VSTO files, or something about my VB setup.
I thought at first it was a problem with the path where the file is sitting, but even moving it from C:Documents and Settings[my name]My DocumentsMSDN to C: didn't work...Edit: I have also tried opening in notepad and converting the file to UTF-8, changing the File Association from MS Visual Studio version selector to devenv.exe, and running devenv /setup at the command prompt, all with no luck (all these ideas were found through Googling the error message....).
Let say I had a project contains 10 forms and 10 reports and typed dataset (xsd)I am trying to divide my project forms into dlls, so when the client had a problem or asks for modification in single forms, I had to build the project all over again and the exe size will be large.
in my current project, the exe size is 4.8 MB, and I am working with customers by internet and remoting, so every time I make small changes (change the back color of textbox in one form) I had to rebuild and send the whole 4.8 MB to the customer. And not forgetting the increasing size of the exe with time.I know that converting my project to class library and built it will convert it to dll, so I had to create a second project to manage it.
1 - Can I convert 3 or 4 forms / 10 forms total in my current windows application project to dll?
2- What is the best recommended method to divide the project into smaller entity.
First I put it inside a Module and it works just fine. However when I created a Class and put it inside it, it showed up some errors. (they are in the code's comments)
Public Class MyImageClass 'function to merge 2 images into one Public Function Merge(ByVal img1 As Image, ByVal img2 As Image) As Image 'Type 'Image' is not defined Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Math.Max(img1.Width, img2.Width), img1.Height + img2.Height) 'Type 'Bitmap' is not defined [Code] .....
I tried importing the System.Drawing namespace to this class which didn't change anything either. I've never really touched the OOP side of VB.NET before, this is my first attempt creating a class.
I have tried to find the sdk ('Windows Software Development Kit') mentioned in the 'GIF Encoder and Decoder Sample', but there are so many SDKs I can't find the one I need. I am using visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition on Windows XP. The language I program in is VB. Can someone point me to the right SDKs for the sample and OS and VS version?
I am working on a VB NET project and had the strangest thing happen.I created a class file(just like a dozen or so I have already created). I wrote in the code to access it. The autocomplete found the class, filled it in and colored it blue, just as it should.But, when I run the app, I get a type is undefined error.
There is nothing in the class yet. And there is really no code to post..it is as straight forward as I described.I tried restarting VS; Deleting and recreating the class; Deleting the class and creating a new one with a different name.
Is there something in the VB NET configuration I can check to see if it is not being added somewhere?
I found the problem. I have 2 projects in one solution. They both share some classes that were trying to use my new classes. When I hit F5, both projects are compiled, and since I hadn't shared the classes with the second project, it errored.
So, now my question is changed; How do I specify to only build the specified Startup Project when debugging?
I have a simple vb.net project that outputs a dll. In order to build this project, I have to reference some 3 3rd party dlls by manually adding them to the project and then building.
What I want to do now is auto build this using a app called CruiseControl. . . I have been told that in order to use the 3 3rd party dlls, I have to modify the .proj file to include the .dlls. The thing is, where in the proj file do I include this and how do I do this? I think I may know where the section is and I have included it here:
[code...]
When I run the auto build program it fails (it runs through but fails at compile time); when I build this manually it works when i refer the dlls. What am I missing to make this work?
I am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.
I have two classes clsRoute and clsStop. Each route has a collection of stops. So I created a Stops collection in the route class and a method to add stops and remove stopsThis seems to work for me. owever, the clsStop properties that I declared are not showing in intellisense.i.e. oRoute.Stops.item(i).StopName and oRoute.Stops(i).StopName
Public Class clsStops Private _stopNumber As Integer = 0 Private _stopName As String = String.Empty
I have a class called class1, in that class i wan;t to write something in a textbox in form1, but it won't let me access Form1.TextBox1.text, another problem is that it won't give me the save dialog in excel, but thats another problem.How can i acces Form1 controls?
Form1 code
Public Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Call ThisDrawing.GetFilepath(True) If Me.TextBox1.Text = "" Or Me.TextBox1.Text = "False" Then MsgBox("Er is geen geldige filenaam opgegeven") End Sub
I am getting this error: The class Form1 can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again. What I have done is in the design window I have put Imports System IO right at the top where should I move it too As when I look at the code it is endless with all the Me. info about everything???
_ Partial Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form 'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list. _ Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean) Try If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then components.Dispose() [Code] .....
