IDE :: "Find All References" And "Go To Definition" DO NOT WORK?
Sep 21, 2010
Visual Studio 2008 do not work properly in 2010 (VB.NET environment). The following scenarios worked perfectly in 2008:1) Clicking on a variable and performinFind All References on it would properly find all references across thesolution (consisting of multiple projects).Doing the same thing in 2010 seems to only check the current project and not across the entire solution. Temporary fix which sometimes work is to perform a rebuild. This action was never needed in 2008.Doing the same thing in 2010 will open the Object Browser and not put focus as it did in 2008.
The program I work on deals primarily with C# and VB.NET, and our solution files are thuscomprised of projects comprised of both languages But, when I do a 'Find all References' on a function defined in say, VB.NET, no results appear from callsmade to thatfunction from C# I have tested this in VS 2003, VS 2005, VS 2008, and the trial version of VS 2010 Ultimate, and all share this problem Doing a search of the forums, I see this is a known problem:While I can understand the argument given as to why, I feel that leaving the terminology of 'Find all References' in place is entirely misleading and wrong. It does not 'Find all References', it only finds references in the language in which the functionwas written Perhaps the text could be revised to state its actual functionality?
In my attempts to understand vb.NET, one of the problems I have encountered is that I have not been able to find a concise definition anywhere for the Paint Event. So after many hours of researching and forum posts (and my own personal tests), here is my own definition (but it seems to fail in one instance, mentioned after the definition). I would like to create a final definition based on everyone's input, but keep in mind, the idea here is to STAY CONCISE. So here goes:
Explanation of the Paint Event
Whenever any portion of a control is UNCOVERED (except by the mouse pointer), the paint event fires. Covering of the control does not fire the event, because the covered area is not visible to the user, and is therefore irrelevant. The paint event is a messenger that alerts the program, via message, that some portion of the control has been uncovered and this message launches an OPTIONAL paint event handler (paint event procedure) written by the programmer, if one is needed to handle those situations when the event occurs. One possible situation is the most obvious...the need to redraw the uncovered region. A paint event procedure is the programmer's counterpart to vb6's automatic property, "AutoRedraw". But whereas vb6's solution was a simple and automatic redraw of the control, vb.NET's equivalent requires the programmer to define explicitly how the event is to be handled, whether it be a simple redraw or something more elaborate. This puts this event in a special category; it is not a user-desired event fired by some user-desired action...it is an internally generated event that acts more as a housekeeping "watchdog" to alert the program that housekeeping chores may have to be implemented because the user did something that was NOT DIRECTLY RELATED to a desired action. For example, when the user moves a window over a control in such a manner that a portion of the control is covered, then uncovered, this causes the state of the control to change even though the user did not specifically request it. It nonetheless may have to be dealt with, and this is managed via the paint event handler procedure.
The problem I have with this definition of mine, is that if the above is true, then why does the mouse moving across the control NOT cause the paint event to fire? After all, it is causing areas of the control to be covered and then uncovered. Is it because the mouse is a special case where the system puts the mouse pointer on a separate layer above the screen graphics, in order to prevent constant paint event messaging?
I am trying out Modi but i cant seem to find the references to add. I have office2k7 but cant find Microsoft Office Document Imaging 12.0 Type Library in com tab. Also cant find the dll in C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedMODI
Where do I find the references and what types are the variables in this example. I copied the code into a new VB 2008 windows project, and all the vaiables and some method calls have "is not declared" wavy lines.
How do I find the number of USB ports available, and what their references are. Example there are 6 USB ports on my motherboard what code would I use to find their reference like, port 1 is called 0 and port 2 is called 1. I want a user to select a designated port and save the selection to a config file so that whenever the user plugs in a removable diskdrive into that specific port a dialogue box will popup asking the user if they want to backup their designated folder (path will also be saved in config file) to that removable diskdrive. I know how to do everything like copying the folder to the diskdrive and all that I just need a code snippet to find the system reference to the USB ports.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 installed on my win7 laptop but when i go to insert references from my application settings the CrystalDecisions references are missing and im not able to find them. Note: they do exist in my "c:windowsassembly" folder.
I've used the right-click "find all references" to quickly show find symbol results for objects, subs and functions in my projects. Today it stopped working in the main asp.net solution I'm working on (in other projects, "find all references" works without problem). Everytime I try to search I get "search found no results". If I right click on reserved words, matches are returned but any of my code returns nothing.
The project builds without issue and I can use the regular Find and replace dialog.
Dim datatable_default_view As DataTable = DataTable.DefaultView.ToTable Dim servicenumber As String = datatable_default_view.Rows.Item(e.RowIndex)("Service Number").ToString If datatable.PrimaryKey.Length = 0 Then Dim keys(0) As DataColumn keys(0) = datatable.Columns("Service Number") datatable.PrimaryKey = keys End If Dim datarow_edited As DataRow = datatable.Rows.Find(servicenumber)
I have no chance to simple search a property in my property list by using the ".Title" of the property. Instead of using "For each > If .Title = SearchTitle" I prefer to do it with the Predicate and ".Find" methode. Can someone help me to find out, how to avoid using the local variable " _SearchProperty" in the example below?
Private Sub NumericUpDownFrequency_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericUpDownFrequency.ValueChanged Dim PropFrequency As F_SCANT30_DEVICES.TB.Devices.clsFscanProperty
Dim datatable_default_view As DataTable = _datatable.DefaultView.ToTable Dim servicenumber As String = datatable_default_view.Rows.Item(e.RowIndex)("Service Number").ToString 'gets the service number of the selected row[code]....
I've put this code under the DatagridView_CellEndEdit event
The Problem: The 'data_row edited' variable doesn't get initialized when exiting the cell in edit mode using the keyboard (ie: pressing the down/up arrow).If I use the mouse it works as expected. Why is this ?
I've been using a piece of code I found that reads in joystick movement into my VB application using DirectInput. Building an executable works great, the program operates as should be, however when I publish my program for final deployment, I get the following error:
"WindowsApplication has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I'm facing really strange problem, in one of my BLL files whenever I add method or property i get this message Error1'CPLogic.BLL.OrdersFaxGroups' does not contain a definition for 'GetFaxGroupForStatusCheck'C:CouponphoneAppsCPFaxEngineCPFaxEngineCPFaxEngineFaxEngine.cs20658CPFaxEngine I know that the method is in that file, i even able to build the application with success but when ever i try to lanuch it i get this message, the same thing happend to me yesterday in the same file, i ended up deleting it and copy its content again to new file with the same name. but now even that not working..
When you want to define a type you must say GetType(Type) ex.: GetType(string), but ain't String a type itself? Why do you need to use GetType in those situations? And, if the reason is because it is expecting a Type 'Type'... why isn't the conversion implicit... I mean, all the data is there...
I know that in WPF, FontSize = 1/96 of an inch (same as 1 pixel I think). Is the FontSize dimension the height, the width, or diagonal size of a character? I would guess it's the font height, but the Microsoft documentation doesn't really indicate what it is.
Also, is there an easy way to get the height and width of a font size?So it looks like the FontSize is the height, and the width can only be determined (without knowing the actual character) on monospaced fonts since proportional fonts have varying widths.
When I right-click on function name and then press "go to definition" it takes me to the function definition. Is there any way to do this with just one click on function name,., is there some option ,or add-on for VB? that will be perfect, fast and furious

I made a copy of a program so I could 'play around' with modifying it. The copy is in a different project in the same solution, plus I renamed it so there shouldn't be a conflict-so why is Go To Definition not available in the copy? It's active in the original (and other programs) but grayed out in the copy. I've rebuilt the entire solution, including the copied program-and it still doesn't work.
I noticed in the code base I have to read that sometimes property definition includes an empty (). What's the meaning of that? And it has nothing to do with arrays.
I have an .XSD that is made from a class so that I can pass to a webservice. It got it over to the webservice as an XMLSchema object and now I need to make it into a class so that I can make objects out of it on the webservice side. I know that XSD.exe is the answer but I'll be darned if I can puzzle out exactly how to implement this thing. I need it to do this conversion at run time so I need to put the code for it into my project and all the references I've seen to using XSD.exe talk about calling it from the command line.
My .XSD is below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="[URL]"> <xs:element name="Field"> [Code] ..... In my project this is living in an XMLSchema object. How do I turn it into a class?
I have a class definition that I've seen other define properties that return collections of objects.
Public Property GetAllAdults() as Adults End Property I made the argument that this should be a method in the class, because it doesn't define an attribute of the class, and could not be extended with parameters. Is/Are there reasons why this should be defined as a property vs. a function?
When I specify <SoapDocumentMethod(OneWay:=True)> on my webservice it doesn't seem to get called. If I remove that the webservice works properly. Also, everything works fine on the development machine just not on the server.
Here is my web method:
<SoapDocumentMethod(OneWay:=True)> _ <WebMethod()> _ Public Sub Write(ByVal processGroupId As Integer) xslClass.xslHelper.writeDatabase(processGroupId) End Sub
i have a probleam with my report , i try to display my report using report viewer but it show an error :The source of the report is not definition has be not specified. i am using visual studio 2005 and databse sql 2005.
Why only the first parameter in the definition of VB.NET Generics uses the 'Of' keyword ?
For example I have here the the full code that LINQ uses for the Enumerable.Select() method :
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _ Public Shared Function [Select](Of TSource, TResult)( ByVal source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), ByVal selector As Func(Of TSource, TResult) ) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)
