Visual Studio - .NET 2010 Project Setup/Installation Package?
Feb 3, 2011I've created a setup project for a VB.NET 2010 application that I've written. The application, and the installer both work fine on my development machine.The installer works fine on other machines, but when I run my application it immediately crashes and dies without telling me anything useful. I've tried it on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines... and all had the same problem, so I think it's more of a package configuration issue than a machine-specific problem.Here's the most useful information that I was able to get out of it:

View 2 RepliesGlobal String Array Declaration In ActiveX Control And Package Installation Error
Apr 12, 2011I have been working on an activeX control which works on serial port communication. Now I have completed the project and created its setup.exe using Visual studio 6 -> Tools -> Package and Deployment Wizard. Then I installed the control in another PC and in a new project included the control using project -> components. But when I click on the control in the toolbox and then include on the form it gives the following error : delete current link ? and on clicking OK, nothing happens. I tried searching a lot on google but didnt find anything. Another problem is that I have created a string array as a global array which can be accessed by all the methods.I am able to include the same activex control in my own pc when I have created the project. Here it works fine, I am able to access all the methods that I coded in the control, but the String array mentioned above can be accessed in other project. I tried writing Public before the array declaration but it give me the compile error : "Constants. fixed length strings, arrays, user defined types and Declare statements not allowed as Public members of object module."

VS 2005 : Error : The Project Type Is Not Supported By This Installation
Jul 15, 2010I'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....).

View 3 RepliesTermination Of A .net Program?
Apr 19, 2012I have an application which I wrote in vb.net. When the application starts it connects to mysql database online to get some data and once done it proceeds.The problem is that at times it gets stuck in the mysql thing, I mean after requesting nothing happens and this causes my program to lock up. This can be because of internet problem or server.
Is there a way the program can determine that x seconds has elapsed and it has not got any data, so self terminate it. I tried using timer to perform this action but as the program requests for data, it gets stuck, I mean it locks up and thus timer also locks up and only after task is done everything resumes.
I wanted that when the program is about to start request, I can start a timer and determine that x seconds has elapsed, so now terminate the application.
Detect If A Value Is In A Decimal Type?
Jun 21, 2011I'm trying to detect if a value is a decimal type and insert it into a DB. If the value is a decimal, I want to continue with the inserting. If the value is not a decimal I want to insert "0" as a value to the DB.
For this I created a function seen below... What is wrong with it?
Function IfNotDeci(ByVal Arvo) As String
If Arvo is Decimal = True Then
Return Arvo
[Code]....
The problem is on the first "If". How to know if the value is a decimal?
(I need this code because my values are read from different excel-files that are not always correct. So if a human didn't write a decimal value to a cell, the program should not respond with an error, but just insert a "0".)

View 2 RepliesDetect Variable *name* (not Type) Within A Function?
Jun 12, 2009So, let's say I have this code (VB.Net)[code]...
What I don't like is:
- relies upon reflection

- I'd rather store the binding information somewhere other than ID, but don't know where else it could go within the aspx definition. Moving the binding declaration to the code behind would be better in some ways, but worse in others.

Auto-Termination Of Foreground Threads?
Apr 25, 2010I just wanted to know that When our Vb.net application terminates are all our foreground threads automatically terminated.I read that all our background threads (worker threads) are all automatically terminated once the application shutsdown (when we dispose it)H/owever i wanted to know about Foreground threads , I know that wehn we use
dim t as thread
t = new thread (address of blahblah)
t.isbackground = true ; //This makes it a worker thread ... which will terminate when the form is disposed
t.start()
my question is now suppose i dont set the background property and make it run as a foreground parallel thread. Will it close when the application disposes...
Event For The Termination Of A Thread And Process?
Jul 12, 2009At the moment, I am writing a class that deals with starting an application in a thread, as well as being able to monitor the closure of the thread and process, and the creation of the thread and process through events. I have absoloutly no problems with monitering the creation of the thread and its internal process within the subs that create them. I placed notifications within the "myprocess_Exited",(for the process closure) and "myprocess_Disposed"(for the thread closure) events.
The problem comes when I terminate the outside application manually; these events do not appear to fire when the application is closed by the user, rather than by code.I thought, since the application closes with an error code when it is terminated in such a way, that it raises the "myprocess_ErrorDataRecieved" event. But this doesn't appear to happen either. Here is some of the code from that class:
'Some of the decleratoins

Event ThreadStarted(ByVal Thread As System.Threading.Thread)

View 2 RepliesDetect ASP Session State Type From Code?
Jun 7, 2010I'm trying to track down a problem on our test environment. Previously it was set to use InProc Session State Type, but I've added in the SQLServer type for one specific Web App. I did this because we use the SQLServer type in our production environment and I want our test env to match as closely as possible.
However, after changing it to SQLServer I do not get any errors when trying to store unserializable data in session like I would expect. It works just fine, even though I would think it shouldn't. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to configuring this, but from the various tutorials I googled, I thought I covered all the bases.I was wondering if there's any code snippets to verify which session state type an application is actively using.

Run 2008 SSIS Package - Click A Button And Have A SSIS Package Execute?
Apr 14, 2011I created a simple VB application in Visual Studio 2010.My computer, which I am using to create the program, is Windows 7 Pro, and SQL Server 2008 is running on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, which I have full access to.
I want to click a button and have an SSIS package execute.I looked around on the Internet and found examples, but they do not seem to work for me.I try to add a reference, Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll, as a few sites advise, but it is not listed when I go to PROJECT>ADD REFERENCE.
I also type:

Dim pkgLocation

Dim pkg As

What can I do to make the SSIS package run when I click the button on the Windows application a created?

Ascii Code For Termination Character For TCPServer / Client Communications?
Jan 5, 2009I am working on a client/server based application and I have run into quite a few snags stumbling my way through I have resolved quite a few issues, and need help with something new. I am using a TCPIP client/server and I find that at the end of each loop when I am reading the data from the network stream it appends a character to the end. I have tried removing the last character but I am not sure if it is getting the whole character successfully because I still get lots of different errors both in binary and xml deserialization whcih I think is related to this. Does anyone know the ascii code for the termination character for TCPServer/Client communications?

View 17 RepliesDetect A Property Of Type "InvalidOperationException" Within A Collection?
Nov 11, 2010Consider the following vb.net code for an office add-in (for access):
td = db.TableDefs(objectName)
For Each fld In td.Fields
For Each fldprp In fld.Properties
[code]....
the variable "db" is a .net representation of the access vba return result from "Application.CurrentDB()". "td" is of type "DAO.TableDefClass".This code throws an exception of type "InvalidOperationException" when the value of the fldprp.value property cannot be determined (in Visual Studio, it shows the value as {"Invalid Operation."} in the watch window). fldprp.name, however, is available.
There are only a few properties which this occurs on. I'd like to be able to loop through all the fld.properties and output the values, but ONLY if it is not an exception. I am pretty sure why it is happening (certain properties are not available in this context). What I need to know is how to detect this at run-time so i can skip the property.
