DO NOT REDIRECT THIS TO ANOTHER THREAD BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A ONE I'm developing a project in VS2010 - WPF - VB.NET (4.0)The solution contains 11 projects; one executable and others are User Controls, Custom Controls and Classes.Now when I build my solution this happens in the output (Debug) folder:
VS sets your project up with the default directory structure: ...indebug which also seems to contain some other files besides your dll (I assume these are related to the debug symbols, etc).So how do you set it up to copy your dll to another directory when debugging?Right now, I'm having to manually copy the built dll with every run and that's getting to be a bit annoying.I'm using VS 2008?
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.
What is the best way to keep my source code separate to the output from compilation? I can change the "Build output path", but I am still getting files created in the "obj" directory whenever I compile. I want to have a directory tree that only contains source code.David Streeter
Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application Dim xlWorkBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook Dim xlWorkSheet As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet[code]....
what I want to do is have a column name in the excel worksheet which is not included in the code..i'm getting the data from a datagridview but it only shows the data in the excel.. i also want the field name of these data to be shown..another, as you can see in the code given, the directory is fixed.. what do i have to do to choose a directory to save my work? and also, i have many gridviews and whenever i'm exporting my work to the excel worksheet, it always overwrites my work.. i want to choose the directory to save, also show the field names, and make a separate worksheet for every gridview..
Anyways, i have coded a video downloaded and i want to include a converter as a separate exe file. But obviously people may have different file directories so a simple piece of code i have used won't work. This is what i have: Also where would i place the exe file?
I created a telephone number form where the user enters the telephone number in a text box as (nnn) nnn-nnnn. The first 3 digits in parenthesis are the ISD code, the next three are the area code and the last four are the local number. I need to separate out these three fields of the phone number and display in three separate text boxes labeled appropriately. Now, suppose the user enters the phone number in a text box as a continuous string of 10 digits, where the first three represent the ISD code, the next three represent the area code and the last four represent the local number. I'm lost as how to change this string into the form (nnn) nnn-nnnn. This is what I have
I have a TabControl object on my form with many tabs created in code (TabPages) and my problem is that the same objects that are in the initial TabPage needs to be in the other TabPages created in code, I have this done in code when the user clicks the 'New Tab' menu option, however the same code is used for any new tabs created. The problem created here is that I have an event against one of the objects that appear in the other TabPages, but because the same code is used to create any new tab pages, the event will only work on the newest tab page, if that makes sense? By the way these objects that appear on the other TabPages are properties at the top so events can be handled against them in the respective subroutine.
I'll get straight to my problem - I'm currently coding in Visual Studio.I have a table (countries) with the columns ID | Name. The table is filled with around 28 records.I also have a form with 4 combo boxes (set up as 1,2,3 & 4) that I want the user to select. These combo boxes will display the names from the table countries. I then want to use the selected names in the combo boxes to Insert into their corresponding ID into another table. For example England would have the ID 1, USA the ID 2 etc.So, is it possible to have separate combo boxes that will give separate ID values but using the same table? At the moment I can't seem to find a solution.Eventually the form will have more than 4 combo boxes so I don't want to use separate bindingsources for each combo box.
I have a few forms that have a lot of really intensive updating along with a great deal of user interface (text boxes, button clicking etc) Is it possible to open a separate form as a separate UI thread from the start up form that called it to "show" or open or whatever the new method might be?
I've seen quite a few questions about calling 32 bit ActiveX components on 64 bit platforms - as I understand it you can't create a 32 bit ActiveX component from a .NET application running in X64 (native) mode. This is OK and I think I understand it.But my question is more basic. Is there such a thing as a 64 bit ActiveX component? or is ActiveX always 32 bit, period?
I was once a VB 6 expert, but it's been a while.I am attempting to create a simple DLL in VB. I created a new WCF Service Library, which is what it looks like I needed to do. I filled out the interface and implemented it. Here's the interface:
<ServiceContract()> Public Interface AgileApi <OperationContract()>
[code]....
And attempted to call it, but I get System.EntryPointNotFoundException. I've tried pathing the defined library and copying the dll file into the same place where my EXE is, but no change to the error.
I've tried to use NRefactory(Vb) [url]... but it didn't come with mono.cecil.dll so i downloaded that too, but when i merged it together the versions seem to be off (i had error Mono.Collections missing class)
does anyone seem to be able to get NRefactory working?[code]...
straightforward method of creating a DLL with properties and methods exposed to other programs? I followed the instructions that I found on the MSDN websites as well as suggestions from forum participants. The DLL should be available both for COM and .NET programs. So far, nothing has worked.There are numerous variations listed on the MSDN site. No doubt there are reasons for the differing instructions. However, I have not had sufficient success with any of them. Sometimes, just building the project makes the class visible to COM compatible programs. Other times, only after running regasm. Still other times, I have to run regasm, sn and gacutil before the DLLs class gets exposed. Then forums posters tell me: "you shouldn't have to do all that.
You developing a application named "DemoSoft" which is going to be a shareware or Premium, you use different DLL's in this project and some DLL's are owned by you, they are very useful and valuable, you are selling this software and are charging the customer for what the software does but since this software uses one of your Valuable DLL, actually few functions from it you have to deploy it and cannot additionally charge for the whole dll. since that would be unwize.now i want to ask what can you do so that This DLL in "DemoSoft" cannot be exploited, meaning end user could use my software but if some thief tries to use my supplied DLL in one of his own app he is unable to do it, in simple terms DLL should work only and only with DemoSoft.
How would I get a list of the DLLs that a process is using? For example, if a process used "SomeDLL.DLL", would it be possible to find that out using a VB program?
My environment is VB6 (NOT .Net), and I have three function-similiar com+ DLLS with different GUID. For example, DLL A, DLL B and DLL C have the same function Beep(). I have a VB application, if I want to use DLL A Beep(), I should import the DLL A reference, and rebuild my application. If I want to switch to DLL B Beep(), I have to change the DLL reference and then rebuild my applicaton.. The same to do if I do with DLL C.
i have been researching this question fror weeks and yet i cant find the answer. Can anyone tell me how i can link two vb.net projects in VS2010 together using a dll. For example, say i have two projects, project 1 and 2. if i want to open a form from project 2 using a button from project 1, what will the procedures be and the codes.
I have a simple question for you I think, but for me it bugs me a lot
So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"
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 made app. But it doesn't work on other peoples computers. I don't want to publish it as installer App because it doesn't look good and people can't choose which folder it will install to. Is here way to copy My Exe file and all DLLs to one folder so it works for everyone?
In my Installer project I just added my OracleDataAccess.dll to the "Global Assembly ache Folder" folder in the "File System on Target Machine" But when I install my project it doesn't install the OracleDataAccess.dll on the target machine'sC:WindowsAssembly.
I have this vb program that uses 2 dlls i made in c++, the dlls are attached to the project and are set as "copy always" and in vs debug mode they work fine, however when i try to publish the program and run it it can no longer find the dlls even tho they are right there next to the program itself the dlls are declared as following: Private Declare Function Trace Lib "Lowstuff.dll" (ByVal targ as IntPtr) As UInteger.so what im thinking is that maybe theres like a switch in project settings i didnt flick or maybe i need to specify the dll with full path or wut?
As it turns out it had nothing to do with vb afterall, it was the c++ dlls that had to be made as static. However now i have a new problem: Im geting a bunch of overflow exceptions from my program but only on other computers, in the dev machine it reports no errors or warnings whatsoever, i also went over function where the error was generated and all the functions it used and detected no fault so how am i supposed to track these down?
I need to get hold of the Sharepoint DLL's. I understand that these are available from the Sharepoint server however the company I work for is quite large and the server is not anywhere I can get close to to copy the DLL's. Is there somewhere I can download these so I can start to develop my VB.NET application locally!
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.

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 developed a couple of windows applications in Visual Vasic Express 2008. To my horror, I have just discoved that the Setup Project is not available in the express edition.I have been searching to discover which DLLs I will need to include when using my 3rd party Deployment Application.
I know which ones I need for my 3rd Party Controls, but am stuck on which Microsoft DLLs will be needed the Microsoft Controls I have used, plus any other Common DLLs that are always needed.
I have tried searching Microsoft's site but without success.
I have a few DLLs that I have added to my project. I placed directly into the BinRelease directory and set Copy Local and Specific Version to true. Now if I move to debug mode, it doesn't copy those DLLs into the debug folder, so it won't compile. If these are just 3rd party DLLs, and not being built by my program, is it normal practice to throw these into the Release and Debug folders every time?
I have been searching but unable to find any code examples of using a GPS coordinate to navigate to another GPS by road way. Is there a dll from MS Streets and Trips or any other software that would allow this to happen? This would also need to be done offline, so no Google or other online serive call outs.
I'm looking for a way for copying a VS application files via HTTP and TCP? I mean I have published my application and now I am trying to find something like ClickOnce application that copies my updated files from my website to the clients' centers through HTTP and then locally to end users through FTP. I need to a source code or something like that.
