IDE :: Difficulty Using Existing Projects Added To A Solution?
Mar 28, 2011
I'm not sure if this is really a VB IDE issue, or a more general VS10 issue, but I couldn't find any other relevant category to post in, so here goes!I have several VB projects which I want to use in the same solution in Visual Studio 10. I created a project (& corresponding solution) which will reference them and added the existing projects by right clicking the solution in solution explorer choosing 'Add->Existing Project'. Then I went to the containing project's Properties window and added references to the existing projects, so they could be used by the project.

I have a .Net solution with 5 projects in c# and one in visual basic. I want to know whether there would be a gain of performance to convert my visual basic project to C# in the day to day while I compile my solution.

It's me again, trying to have multiple projects in the same solution. How can I do that?
I know that the project name should accompany whatever functions I'll be calling but somewhere it does not work.
One more thing, can I include forms in all the projects I create?

I've developed a stand-alone RTF project/solution and a stand-alone calendar project/solution. I'm trying to incorporate them into a master project/ solution.If I just add the RTF & Calendar projects to the master solution, I cannot access them from the Main form of the master project. It just doesn't see them. Just adding the forms doesn't work because it doesn't contain all of the necessary information embedded in the project (references, etc.)

I am coming to the end of coding this system in Visual Studios 2008 which I took over from a guy who has worked on it for a year.He is not here anymore.He made 9 projects and put them into one solution(screen shot below).I have only published a .NET website for VB and have never published something like this.P3Data is the only one that the publishing tab comes up with. All the other projects the publishing tab does not come up. Why is P3Data bold? How can I publish the whole solution 'P3Data' as one whole entity?

Currently, I have a solution that contains two projects (ASP.net websites, FWIW). If I create a class in Project1, how do I expose it to Project2? Is it automatically available to Project2 because they are in the same solution? Or do I need to do something special to make the connection?

I thought I'd give VB a go after developing with C# for the past few months. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and have imported the VB IDE settings. I'm going through the same steps in VB as I've gone through in C# to create my solution for an n-tiered ASP.NET web application, but the results are unexpected. Here's the steps:
1. File > New Project > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution .... name the solution & choose the location ...
2. At this point, I want to proceed to add projects as follows by right-click on the solution in solution explorer
a. Add > Visual Basic > Web > ASP.NET Web Application ... name / location of the Web Client
b. Add > Visual Basic > Windows > Class Library.. name / location of the Business Layer
c. Add > VB > Windows > Class Library ... name / location of the Data Access Layer
BUT, as soon as I complete step 2a, the solution disappears from solution explorer. "Show all files" is selected. This happens regardless of the project I create first.

All too often, when I am looking for sample .NET code to do something and actually find it, it is written in C#. I am by no means proficient with C#... I can read and follow the logic of C# or modify the code, though I have difficulty following along since everything ends in "}".So what do I do? I create a solution with 2 projects. I put the C# code in one project and VB code in the other project. The VB project references the C# project and I modify the C# as necessary so I can call the useful code from the VB project.The current C# code I'm working with is a rather large project. Specifically what it does is handle input from HIDs (specifically I want to use it for input from a media remote).What I wanted to do was leave the C# code pretty much alone and just call a VB subroutine when any HID input is received (many of the remote buttons can't be distinguished from keyboard keystrokes) and process them in VB. Problem is that the VB code also needs access to pieces of the C# code (circular reference). Ideally what I'd want to do is create a VB module within the C# project (since VB.NET and C#.NET are functionally equivalent -- mostly -- though syntactically different). I've used compilers in the past with similar functionality, though I don't know if VS.NET 2008 has this capability. If I just add a module to the C# project, it expects it to be written in C#.If I can't do that, I see 3 options:
1) Write my application in C#
2) Write a new class in C# that exposes the functionality I need, instantiate it in VB
3) Convert all the C# code to VB
These options are beyond my current skillset (except maybe 3), though now is just as good a time as any to learn C#. But this may require more time than I'm willing to invest. I just wanted to create a task launcher / application switcher to be able to switch between music, video, and other players. I, in fact, already have most of the VB code I need from another project, including a DirectX "cover flow" style interface. I just want to add remote control support to it.

Am I able to share/access xsd in different projects in a solution? If so, how do I do it. If not, what are the other options.
What I intend to do is have the xsd in the DAL project and have the business logic checkings/validations in BLL project.

I am working on a solution that contains 2 projects one to be built as an exe and the other as a service. Both projects will share a class for certian functions and properties. I would like to have both projects use the same physical file so when I make a change in one of the projects it is also made in the other.
This was simple to do in VB6 but as of yet I see no way to do it under dot net. It seems to want to make a copy of the file and place it into the project folder for the second project resulting in the need to either copy after every change or manually make the changes twice.
Anyone know if there is a way to have common files area for a solution so that any project within the solution has access to the actual file rather than a copy of it?

As far as I know , it is possible to combine projects into a solution . So , lets say we have 3 projects . Each project has a starting form , lets call them SF1 , SF2 and SF3 .What I would like to ask you is how can I write code in order to have both the solution and the partial projects , working . You see , the solution (which as far as I know will also be accompanied by a new project) has to have a starting form ; lets call it SF0 .A) First of all I'd like to know how can I call a partial project from the solution itself .B) What code do I have to write in the partial projects in order to keep them running correctly when they are separate (that is not part of the solution) . I am asking this question too , because as I guess , there has to be code in SF1 , SF2 and SF3 (into buttons) that lead back to SF0 , but

I've been doing some lite coding over the last couple years so I'm no where near where a lot of you already are. So my code tends to be organized in the standard beginners format... one project per solution with one executable (*.dll or *.exe). So I have a bit of a "best-practices" question for you... Why use multiple projects in one solution?

I've developed a couple of different stand-alone projects, myRibbonRTF and myRibbonCalendar and have them functioning well. I want to tie these together with other projects in a single solution called myMain. When I add these projects to the solution, their forms are not accessible in myMain (e.g. myRibbonRTF.frmMain.Show()). I've searched high and low for the last week trying to solve this and the only nearby solution is to turn the other projects into .dlls and access them in myMain that way.

We create a class library and ship C# and VB.NET examples.I have a solution of 60 C# projects. If I make an edit to one of them, Visual Studio only builds the changed one. I have an equivalent solution of 60 VB.NET projects. Visual Studio always builds all 60 projects. Why? Is there a way to force Visual Studio to behave like it does with C# projects?
I should mention that there are no dependencies between the projects.More information: It's not recompiling, really, it's just checking if they need compilation and that takes a significant amount of time.
Here's the build output: Build: 0 succeeded, 3 failed, 58 up-to-date, 0 skipped Those 58 checks take about 30 seconds in my solution of VB.NET projects. This same up-to-date check is almost instant in the solution of C# projects.No edit is necessary. Just switching startup projects is enough.

Im trying to implement this code: url... and want to add it to my existing VB.NET solution.But when I look at the source code I see a code behind file for global.asax (Global.asax.cs) file with a namespace defined in it?!?Now in my existing VB.NET solution I DONT have a code behind file. Here's what my global.asax looks like: [code]When I add the namespace code as in the sample code I get: 'Namespace' statements can occur only at file or namespace level.How can I implement the sample code correctly in my current solution?

Just got a little quirk with VS2008 on 1 solution.When i press F5 to debug my solution builds the current project but then insists on building all my setup projects...
This only occurs on 1 of my solutions and it has 20 projects within it.
I've checked startup projects and it has no dependancies and is set to selected project.
EDIT: Right click and debug in new instance works fine

I have a visual basic 2010 project with a solution. When I double click the solution the project opens. I cannot see the solution file. I am trying to add an existing project to my solution but I am having trouble.How do I add an existing project to an existing solution?
In VB 2005 if I double click the solution the solution opens with the project underneath it. But in VB 2010 they have made it complicated apparently.

I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.

I have 5 projects within the same solution file, Im trying to access a form that is part of one of the projects from my startup project.I have looked through the earlier threads and most of them deal with calling forms from within a project.To my understanding ive correctly added the projects to the solution file from File --> Add --> Existing Projects.I have also referenced my Project2 from Project1 but still the intellisense does not let me access form1 of project2 from project1.

Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Excel 2007. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to convert an office excel project into a vb.net project. I wanted to take the ugly windows 98 style buttons I currently have in my spreadsheet and replace them with controls on a new tab on the ribbon. I can make it that far, but I didn't anticipate the large gap between languages.
The code below is supposed to take a bunch of information from a windows form and insert it into a new row on sheet12, sort the table of info, and name the range. Right now visual studio show no errors until I actually try to run the code at which point it says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." regarding the code "oSheet.Rows("1:1").Copy()" I don't think I understand declaring my variables in vb.net.

In my tic tac toe game I'd like there to be three different levels; easy, medium, and impossible. There are 2 forms; the difficulty level form and the main game form. When the game first starts the user will be prompted with the difficulty level form which contains 3 radio buttons; easy, medium, and impossible.
I've coded three different functions based on the difficulty level; easyMove(), medMove(), and impMove(). These have all been coded in the main game form. How could I run the respective function based on the radio button that was selected in the previous difficulty level form?
If it was on the same form it wouldn't be a problem but because it is on a different form I'm unsure of how to do this.
