When I checked it out and tried to build it I got the weird error below, which I am guessing has something to do with which .Net Framework the build is targetted towards and also which Framework I have installed.

View 5 RepliesIn VB 2008 Express, in the top menu, there is "Build" (Between Project and Debug), but it's not there in VB 2010 Express. I tried to find an option for it in Tools, but I can't find it. I can use the Build menu in VB2008 to build an .exe that shows up in the "Release" folder. What can I do to make an .exe as a release, so that I can implement it? If I was to use the .exe in the "Debug" folder, I can only run it in Debug mode.
In VB2010, I can right-click on the area near the toolbar and choose "build", which makes 2 buttons appear. I can click on the Build" button, but it does not create a new .exe in the "Release". Sorry if the solution is really simple, but I am a newbie, and I've only recently converted to VB 2010 Express. I can't believe how difficult this problem is!

View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?

View 12 RepliesI have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
In Visual Basic 2010, when I do Build/Build [project name], sometimes the resulting exe file is put in ..in and other times it's put in ..inRelease. Why does it do this and how can I control it?
View 3 RepliesI am wondering how you would go about coding a VB Project with a File Dialog box or something to that affect that could be used to have users select programs that are already on their desktop and move the icons and the program names into my application. I am sort of going for a File Program Popup Box that prompts the users to check off certain programs they want to add to my VB Application or to show a list or programs on their desktop. Is there anyway to complete this task with Visual Basic?
View 8 RepliesI have written a small VB.NET simulation program that uses an XML file to configure the simulation. I want to include this file in the project build so that when the application is installed, there will be a default XML file in the required directory.
When I do the Project Publish (within VB 2010 Express), there is no option for including any extra data files in the process.
Is it possible to do this with VB 2010 Express ... or should I try some other project builder/installer.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional I've had constant build problems with VS 2008. I can't use the Hosting Process (not that I normally do) because at build I'll be notified VS could not copy a support file (the hosting exe). In addition, every time I build I'm told my previous exe is in use by another process and cannot be accessed. My only recourse is to manually delete the file. That works a few dozen times but eventually Windows stops letting me delete it and tells me that I require permission from an Administrator to make changes to the file (I'm the administrator,

I am trying to build custom configuration section in my app.config file. I am using the following as my example: [URL]. According to this article, I am supposed to inherit from the ConfigurationSection class, add the desired section to my app.config file, and then specify a "configSections" declaration in the app.config file to identify the section and the class that should process it. My problem is that I cannot get the class loader to load my class for processing the section.
If I follow the example and set up my "configSections" as:
<configSections>
<section name="MyStuff.Configuration"
type="MyStuff.MyConfigurer"
allowLocation="true"
allowDefinition="Everywhere" />
</configSections>
I get the following error:
Could not load type 'MyStuff.MyConfigurer' from assembly 'System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
I think the error is telling me it can't load my class from the System.Configuration DLL and that makes sense; the class is in my application code. So how do I tell it to look in my application code to find the class? Do I have to put my class in its own DLL to get this to work? As an alternative approach, is there some way I can just find the section in the application configuration and process the XML myself? The app.config file is the ideal location for this information. Also, this would be easier for me than going through all of these contortions to do what should be a relatively easy operation.
I wrote a function ReadXML().This function reads XML file and returns a string.The string contains all the XML file nodes values to duild SQL query dynamically. Any way My code is working. Is this right way? Can you please suggest me the unnecessary code(loops...)in this function, So that I can do the code in a better way.[code]
