There has to be a setting for this somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. When I "Start Debugging (F5)", if there is an issue with my code, I get a "Build Failed" notification, in the lower left of my screen. I would like to be directed to the location of the failure. So far I have been lucky and have been able to find the offending code but this is getting scary .

View 1 RepliesI just got Windows 7, so I re-installed VB 2008 Express and have been met with some weird issues. One of which is when my program is running it used to break on a line where an error was occurring and tell what it was and let me fix it and continue. So I can see the error in the Immediate window but why is it not breaking on the line? It just continues loading the program. Is there a setting I'm missing?
View 4 RepliesWhile debugging a Visual Basic application in Visual Studio 2005 I receive the following error when the debugger tries to evaluate a expression: 'myNamespace.myObject.myProperty' is not declared or the module containing it is not loaded in the debugging session.If I have 3 modules (dll) 'a', 'b' et 'c' and 3 object A, B, and C of the respective types.
C uses B and B contains A (C=>B, B=>A)
Should I reference a in c ?

I am confused with the terms Build ,rebuild ,start , start without debugging in VS.NET.After writing the code what actually we want to do .We have to run directly by pressing F5 key or we have to build the solution .Usually i tried to run the application after coding and if shows any any errors i will fix that and run again .I never used build or rebuild thing .What exactly meant by building the solution .What is meant by rebuild and start without debugging.
View 5 RepliesI created a small vb.net console app in visual studio 2008 trying to learn .net but my results show differently when I break in the code and press F11 to step through. If I do it this way, the results I expect to get show but if I don't break into the code the results aren't what I'm expecting.
Basically everytime I click a button i want to write four numbers that are random. If I break into the code, these show random numbers i.e. 1 3 4 3 but if i don't break into the code. my numbers are all the same i.e.1 1 1 1. Here is my code, like I said I'm still learning so the logic is probably not correct.

I want to do this:
lblQuestion.Text = "Text (insert line break) More Text"
We can reproduce it to the point it happens whenever we click Tab, but short of putting a break point at the beginning of every method in the project to find out what is executing.
Is there a way to set visual studio to break whenever anything executes?

From my initial readings on unit testing it is wise to put all of your setups and tests in a separate project from the code being tested.I've recently begun reading The Art of Unit Testing, trying to discover how to break dependencies on things such as database calls.The methods offered involve changing areas of the test code, such as adding specific interfaces and "stub" methods to the production code.This seems to defeat some of the good things about keeping tests and production code separate.Is there any recommended dependency-breaking technique that doesn't involve changing production code?
View 3 RepliesI installed VS2008 ona newVista Ultimate 64 Bit machine. Works great. But if I try to change some VB2008 code while debugging, the system says, "Changes to 64 Bit applications are not allowed". Why is this? And will programming on a 64Bit machine always be hampered like this

I have a new 64 bit machine with vs2008 - is there anyway to mouseover a guid value and have it appear? What makes guid's so special that their value doesn't show like most variables?

View 1 RepliesWhen I end my app by pressing the stop button in visual studio, is there a way for that event to trigger some exit code? I'd rather do that than include a visually distracting quit button.
Better still would be to program some kind of key sequence, eg control + q to trigger some quit code so my app can exit cleanly. Is this possible? I wouldn't know how to program a key shortcut but it might be handy.
Prior to VS 2010 I was able to debug VB6 client code from the .Net IDE by setting "Start External Program" to vb6.exe (full path), or attaching to the running vb6 executable via "Tools->Attach to Process" and have execution stop at the required breakpoints in my .Net code.
Now with VS 2010 I seem to be only able to accomplish the same by setting the target framework to 4.
Is this a bug in VS 2010, or is there a switch/option that controls this?
Can someone tell me how to stop the output of this code from placing a page break after it finds the selection.It's placing a blank page at the beginning and end of every printout.I suspect it has to do with the insert.break method, but cannot figure out what needs to be changed. [code]

I am converting an old asp project to a new .NET project. Now, all vb code are inside aspx files, and we are on the process of moving all vb script from aspx files to .vb files. My problem is, I can't debug the vb script inside most of the aspx files. All my friends don't have this problem. I think the problem is with vb text editor.I am using Visual Studio 2008. Is there anyway, I can make visual studio understand that aspx files have vb script inside them.
View 2 RepliesI have some VB6 code that instantiates a class which handles events that are being raised from a VB.NET component. The VB6 is pretty straightforward:private m_eventHandler as new Collection
public sub InitSomething()
dim handler as EventHandler
set handler = new EventHandler
m_eventHandler.Add handler
m_engine.Start
[Code]...
My problem is that when I debug the VB6 program, the first time InitSomething gets called, the event will not be handled (the VB6 event handler is never entered). Subsequent calls to InitSomething does work.
Everything works as I would have expected when I run the program outside the debugger. At this point, I'm not even sure if this is something I should be worried about.It may or may not be relevant but the VB.NET was converted from a VB6 using the Visual Studio code conversion tool (and subsequently manually cleaned up).
When debugging a program and then we take it to a line breakpoint,then I want to modify the code again.but could not and such message appears in the image which I attach.What can we edit code program at the time of the process of debugging.This can be done in visual basic 6 ide?

i wrote a piece of code to write some data to a card reader, and read back from that device, filling a form with the data (after reformat).When I step through the code while debugging (using F5, F8 for stepping forward) the form is filled correctly.However, when I run the code (Ctrl-F5), the program seems to hang for about 5 sec and then throws an exception: 'Length should be >0' When looking further during debug - it seems that the program calls 2x the Sub Frm_Read_Display().

-new Dell laptop without a Break key.
-VB6 and VS2008 IDEs use Ctrl+Break to pause execution for debugging.
-I need a way to map another key combination to trigger a Ctrl+Break
My setup may make this easier or harder but to be clear I am running Kubuntu 9.10 (latest stable) and WinXP in a VirtualBox VM. Obviously all VB6/VS2008 dev is taking place in the virtual machine.So maybe it's possible to have the linux host send through Ctrl+Break based on a key mapping, or maybe it's possible to remap directly in WinXP. I'd settle for any solution as atm I need to use the XP On-Screen keyboard to send a Ctrl+Break.
