I live in the UK and I want to buy the standard edition cheaply. I've seen an OEM version on eBay which the seller claims to be the full version. But it's only one a single disk and it states "Disk 1" so presumably it isn't the complete application.

I have set references to Excel in my VS2005 .net project but the XIRR function is not available in the worksheetfunctions. In Excel it is necessary to add the Analysis Toolpak to the Add-ins. Do you have to do a similar thing in VB.net?
I have a menu where I click on a cmd button to call stand-alone diagnostic pplications.The first two applications that I have, I put in their own folders, and have no problem calling and running those apps. The one I recently installed, is in its own folder also, but when I click on the button to call the app, it starts, then comes up with an "Cannot find file" error

I am running Windows 7 eval. copy and have been for months. It's great. I saw that the Beta on Visual Studios 2010 and decided to make the jump from Visual Studios 6. I watched all the MS videos on upgrading from VBP to Net and downloaded all of the upgrade programs and advisors. The programs I need to migrate require only minor changes. The video shows Visual Studios 2005 upgrading a VB6 Project because the upgrade wizard intercepts the open and upgrades the file. There are several problems:
1. It appears the VS2010 and VB2010 do not have this capability
2. Running Windows 7, VS2005 and the Associated framework will not load correctly
3.VB2005 does not load correctly
4.The upgrade msi will not load because the specified framework version is not loaded. Apparently it does not recognize Framework 4.
5. So I cannot migrate my VB6 programs to NET using VS/VB 2010. My only solution is to build up another system with XP and do the migration on that system.
So my basic question is do I have to build another system or is there something I am missing about VS2010? Does it have the capability to migrate VB6 programs like VS2005?
I'm currently using VS2008 and 2010 for various projects but now I need to test something with VB2005.Anyone know a link where I can get VB or VS2005 Express edition - It's free software but just can't find it on MS's site anymore and all the ones I find elsewhere on the web are full of malware.
I have compiled my application using vs2005 and put the exe and dlls on a network drive. The users running windows 7 that don't have write access to the folder cannot run the program. The users on XP can run the program even without write access to the folder. The admins with write access to the folder can run it on both XP and windows 7. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it other than giving the user write access to the folder.

I am writing a project using Visual Basic in VS2005. I have tested it with Windows 2000 and XP. Can I assume it will work on Windows Vista also or are there allot of compatibility issues I need to be concerned about?
Can someone provide a difinitive answer for how to code for System.Net.Mail (for VB)?I'm tryng to resolve the "System.IO.IOException Unable to read data from the transport connection " that cropped up after a recent Server update.

I am in the process of switching from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005. I have been unable to figure out if there is a way to replicate the "docked" Find search box like in Visual Studio 2003 which I have uploaded as an attachment or you can view it at the following link: url...It looks like in VS 2005 you always need to launch the Find dialog: url...I don't really like having to launch the Find dialog whenever I want to search for some text. Does anyone know if there is a way to mimic the docked search box?
I am trying to automate VC++ build via an addIn written using VB.NEt so that we can schedule it using a simple batch file. This addin performs some custom pre-requisites before the build is started. The build is invoked as devenv.com /useenv %NEWSOLFILE% /CLEAN %BUILDCONFIG% /OUT %OUTLOGFILE% > nul
with appropriate filename substitutions. I am facing problem in the following entry-point:-
I need to read data from an Excel workbook in my VB2005 application. I've add a reference to the Microsoft Excel 11.0 object (as I'm using Excel 2003). However, I got the following error when I build the project:
"Warning 1: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Excel' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases. (follow by the path of the project)"
I have some code that was written in C# and am attempting to convert it to VB.Net, for the most part things have gone well but I am running into an issue that I am not sure how to handle. The project has several classes and a few namespaces defined. The issue is [or seems to be] related to the namespace usage.
In the C# code of one class I have
Code: namespace GdiPlusLib In another class I have
Code: using GdiPlusLib; When translated to VB I have in the first class above
Code: Namespace GdiPlusLib and the following in the other class from above.
Code: Imports GdiPlusLib I get the following warning message on the imports line
Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'GdiPlusLib' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases. There is another instance with a different namespace that gives the same warning and I get 11 errors all of which would seem to be related to the two warnings.
i ve created a setup file for my project using vs2005....but it doesnot run on anothor target machine..it says that the machine requires windows installer and dot net framework to run my project how do i do this??
VB.NET: Can the .EXE built by VS2005 be deployed as a standalone EXE?When I change the mode in VS2005 to "Release" and build the solution, the binRelease directory then contains the solution .EXE file, but also a .pdb, vshost.exe and .xml file. What are these extra files and are they necessary?
I copied the .exe file to another machine and it executed properly, but there was a significant delay when it first executed - thereafter it was like any other program. What is the reason for this, Is it because the other 3 files in the Release folder are not there with it?
We have a VB project that loads a reference to a .Net dll (which we also make). Both projects are being simultaneously developed.
When we add new classes to the referenced dll, the main project normally fails to notice the changes.
That is, if we added a new class Bar to the Foo dll, we should be able to type "Foo." and have Bar listed in the intellisense dropdown. It's never there.
Removing the reference and then adding it back in again sometimes fixes the problem. Sometimes we have been able to just manually type Bar in and then rebuild without errors.
It seems to me that there should be some way to tell Visual Studio to reload the referenced project because it has changed. Actually, I think VS should notice the change itself, but failing that, we need a simple way to force a reload.
Edit: It is VS2005 and we are referencing output assemblies (the dll)
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on calling some sort of visual studio app (untimately a form) from within excel. so something along the lines of having a button in excel which calls this dll/ocx and opens a form for data populating.
I've made a basic loginform in VS 2005 for anyone to use (Continued from the VS 2003 version), here's the zip file containing the form, feel free to use & modify it freely ... you dont even need to tell me about it How it works:Make an instance of it then you can set the properties UserId, Password, UserIdMaxLength and PasswordMaxLength then just call the the ShowDialog method.I've provided some other ShowDialog signatures that allows those properties to be set with only 1 ShowDialog call..When the Login button is clicked on the window you can retrieve the UserID and Password from their respective properties..This works with the DialogResult object as well so you can easily check to see if the cancel button was clicked or not.[code]
How do you prepare a service solution in VS2005 to use with installutil.exe?I receive the message,Quote:No public installers with the Run Installer Attribute.Yes attribute could be found..This is the first time I have ever attempted to create a service.
