Education Recommendations For Visual Basic
Apr 19, 2009
I am a student a couple of weeks from completing my first Visual Basic class. I have a 100% score so far. Plus I am really enjoying the class and learning VB. We use Visual Studio Professional 2008 at school. I have also installed that product on my own pc from the DreamSpark site. I'd like to continue my education with VB. However, there are no classes this summer in VB at school. I was wondering if there might be some online tutorials or books that I could use to keep moving forward. I have good discipline for learning without being in a classroom.
Generally, what I like is something that shows the key points about a new topic. Gives an example of how the topic might be used in an application. Shows a code sample or two. And then gives programming assignments that use that topic. So that I can then write the applications. One of my educational goals would be to start through the Microsoft Certification process.

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. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.

Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?

How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.

I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.

I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version. If he chooses the premium version, then I want it to say premium in his "receipt" later on and if he chooses standard, then standard in the receipt.

I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.

I'm looking for options to fill a Word Document from either Visual Basic, or Visual C#. I'm currently using merge fields, and the code below to fill specific fields in a Word Document, but now I've run into a situation where I need tabular data pushed to MS Word. Is there anyway to take data from a grid view (number of rows is dynamic), and import it into a Word Document Table using a merge field or something of that sort? I have to maintain the format of my template doc, and would like to be able to control the layout of the page

I've been using SQL OleDB commands to grab data from some excel files and it's working well, but I'm having a really hard time finding a good resource for the actual command strings on the web. I figure I must not be using the proper terminology in my searches. Take this line:
Dim da as New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From [" & sheetName & "]", Conn)
My question this morning was: Can I pass a command that will grab all sheets from the excel document instead of just one in particular?

I'm building an application that is intended to function off and online using the new Local Database Cache functionality included with Visual Studio 2008. My issue however does not pertain to that directly, as I have a pretty good understanding of how to use it and how it functions. My issue is with getting an understanding on how to directly write to a SQL database.
Most of the tutorials, videos and education available when it comes to databinding makes the assumption that I need my application to pull data and edit it, but in my case all I really need (in fact intentionally all I want) is for the application on Submit to write data that it pulls from the form as a new record in a SQL table.
Here is what the program looks like now.
Public Class StatCom
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
At the moment the program simply does a status check for connectivity and wether it can ping the server (in this case the SQL server) for the purpose of displaying a online or offline status in the form.
I follow it up by making the status checks.
Finally I declare all the various fields I want to capture and write to the database.
What I want to do now is have a SUBMIT button that on click takes all the data in the form and writes a new record to the database I have already setup and have data connection to.
I know that the code has to be written using the .recordset functionality, but I haven't found any could tutorials on the subject that have turned on the light upstairs.

recommend a zone ocr sdk package. What i would like to accomplish is to automatically import a set of images, pdf or jpg, and then apply zone ocr to each image to extract data into a database. I have already looked at and spoken to Lead Tools and it does seem like they have everything that i would need but by the time you add up all the modules / addons needed, the cost is just too high for our small shop.

I'm trying to just get a VB.net app to be able to execute a lua script in a external file, and be able to add some functions to lua too, To do this I have this code:
Imports LuaInterface
Public Class Form1
Public luascripting As New Lua()
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
luascripting.RegisterFunction("DisplayText", Me, Me.GetType().GetMethod("DisplayText"))
luascripting.DoFile("script.lua")
End Sub
End Class
But it errors on the register function, saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Do you know of a example VB.net project that uses lua? Or know how to fix this?

We have a new build machine to start using for our programming team. We are still trying to figure out how we want to organize everything to get the best configuration for building EXEs and DLLs.
We are using VB6 and VB.Net 2005, and VSS2005.
We were thinking of making working folders set for each project, release and support tickets. Does anyone have experience with a similar set up? What were your likes/dislikes?
