IDE :: Stepping Into A Referenced DLL?
Sep 1, 2011
After reading through several forums, which suggested that I should add a referenced DLL (whose source cod I have) to solution as an added project, I am unable to step through the code of the referenced DLL that generates an error. I also turned off"Enable just my code" from Tools->Options-> Debugging. However, I am still not able to step into the referenced DLL's code I added the pdb file and the referenced dll to the bin/Debug folder of the original code that I am working on

I'm creating a console application that uses System.Management to get WMI information about a selected computer.
The code below executes when the user enters the number 4 to see hardware information about the computer in question. Included is the function called to access the WMI Namespace's object collection[code]...

have been experimenting with new algorithms for some existing classes, do it by copy and pasting code into newly created classes, adding the references then trying to adapt the unit tests till thy pass.Am stuck in a case where the code in the newly created class makes a call to another class (shared by the newly created class and the existing working class) and the IDE won't allow me to step into the code, showing "external code" on the call stack and mysteriously stopping on a non-breakpointed line in the code it wouldn't step into...a line that immediately precedes an error-generating line which i'm trying to trace and debug. In addition the working existing class makes the same call with no error and the IDE allows normal stepping into it

I have a solution which contains among other things a project which is COM callable.
I would like to put some breakpoints into this and step through it but VS tells me "The breakpoint will not currently be hit".
how I can step into a com callable?

Having a bit of a headache with stepping through a program.
I changed the Keyboard to VB6 in Tools > Options with the same result.
He's what happens.
* I put a break point on Line2. The app stops there and so far so good. * I press F8 or F10 or F11 (tried everything) and the app returns an error on line8 instead of stepping to Line3.
The error is obvious, but I want to step through my program 1 at a time.
1: connData.Open()
2: strSQL = "123"
3: strSQL = "123"
[Code]....

I have a program, which is a GUI, that calls a DLL. I have both the program and DLL checked out of VSS. When I run the program (in debug mode so that I can step thru the code), it's erroring out in the DLL. How can I step into the DLL code to see where the error is occurring?

I have a VB6 object that is wrapped by a .NET class. As far as I recall it is possible to step through a VB6 object (compiled as a library) by simply running the VB6 library and inserting a breakpoint at the desired location.However this does not appear to be working in my case. I have attempted to recompile the VB6 object and re-reference it in my .NET project but this doesn't appear to have helped. there a way to insert Debugger.Launch() equivalent into a VB6 project?

I am using VS 2010 on Win 7 32 bit.I am debugging a VB application (simple Windows form) by stepping through it with F8; however, for some unknown reason it sporadically runs at full speed after I press the F8 key. This can happen at any given location in code and sometimes not at all.

'global declaration
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "EventList.txt"
Dim PATH_FILE As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory() & "" & FILE_NAME
'end of global declaration
[Code]...
Using F8 to step through all of the code, it gets to this sub, highlites Dim fs and then hit F8 again it just pops up the form, no message boxes - nothing. Other notes: EventList does exist in stated directory.
Any ideas why it wouldn't complete the sub? the first debug line after hit the f8 is: A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but the file is there

Problem: The excutable of the vb program crashes when trying to run but when I step through the program inside of visual studio it runs successfully.
Details: The program performs a winscp.com transfer from a ftp server and then takes the downloaded file and extracts the data from it before sending it to a webpage. The program also decrypts a des3 encrypted file which holds the login details for the sftp server and the webpage.
My Thoughts: I was thinking this could be something to do with the excutable jumping ahead of the slower transfer and decrypt functions thus causing a "file not found" exception to be produced and the program to exit. Lending to this if I slowly (aka spend 10+ seconds stepping through the code) move through the code it works just fine.
As requested Crash Messages:(I capture everything in exceptions and exit properly so no "crash" is reported but the error I get in my logs is as follows:)
1st run with standard test case:Could not find file 'C:UsersAdministratorDesktop..ILC2INFOENC.txt'
2nd run standard case (the file above was not deleted by my cleanup function either as it could not be found)Could not find file 'C:UsersAdministratorDesktop..ILCNETSL10663.csv'
Background:The first file that is found missing is the encrypted login information file while the second file is the winscp.com downloaded csv file.

I've seen this in two different places & can't quite figure it out. I can think of at least two possibilities but don't have a lot of confidence in either.When stepping thru code I encounter the following:
If x = True Then
y = New ContextMenu
Me.ContextMenu = y
[code]....
x is False. The debugger stops on the If & I press F11 to evaluate it. The Debugger then advances to Me.y.MenuItems.Add(z), which is *not* the next statement that should execute. Nor does it appear as if it does execute as, when I press F11 again, the Debugger exits the Sub, as it should. But why highlight it as if it will execute?This is even more confusing in the next example:
If Not Me.FindForm Is Nothing Then
If Not TypeOf Me Is A AndAlso Not TypeOf Me Is B Then
Me.x = "OFF"
End If
[code]....
Me.FindForm is a Form, so it's not Nothing. Me is type A so the 2nd If is False. The Debugger stops on the 1st If, I press F11 & it advances to the 2nd If, as it should. Then I press F11 again & it advances to FatalException in the Catch block. What? Did the attempt to evaluate the TypeOf Me cause an error? It shouldn't, and it doesn't seem as if it did as F11 again exits the Sub rather than stepping into FatalException. So why did it stop there?
My first thought was that the intermediate code got out of step with the displayed source code. I've seen that in other IDE's with interactive debuggers, but usually because those allow you to run the Debugger without re-compiling the code. Not so with VS-so that seems unlikely.My second thought is that it's stopping there because those are the last 'executable' statements in the Sub. But that doesn't really make sense as, in other Subs, it will stop on the End Sub.

I have a data point with a y-value of 1 being plotted, the MS Chart control will use increments of 0.2 on the y-axis. How can I force it to not use a decimal, keeping in mind I will have values of >100 so I can't just force an increment of 1 on the y-axis?

I have created a DLL that contains basic functions used in my projects. With the DLL I:Compiled it as a Release Moved the .dll file to another folder Deleted the .pdb files in the binRelease folder When I add the reference of this DLL to my projects and I debug my code, I step through line-by-line and when it comes to a function from my DLL, it actually opens up the source files of my DLL and debugs line-by-line in the DLL source code.
This is REALLY annoying for my purposes and I have tried many things now to disable the debugger stepping into my DLL code. I did a text search in the DLL file and found it stores the path of the project folder.
So far the only thing that's worked is moving/renaming the folder where the DLL project source files are. But everytime I re-build the DLL, once again I would have to move/rename the folder again as it's updated the location of the source.

When I have a directory setup with a subdirectory and both the top directory and sub directory have files in them I get a list of all the files with no directory info. That's OK, but I need to restore them to another location with the same directory structure in place. I'm essentially copying all files in a directory and it's subs to another location. The problem is the sub directory info is not in the files list so everything goes into the main directory. How do I get around this or can I? Here is what I'm using now.
I have a directory, NewProg in Program Files and a sub directory under it called Sub.
files=dir.getfiles("C:Program FilesNewProg",searchoption.alldirectories)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:Program FilesNewProg" & File.Name, "C:NewProg" & File.Name,True)The Sub directory is not created and even when it is there, it always comes up empty with all it's files copied into the main NewProg.

I am trying to get the value of a dropdownlist and post it to the viewstate and I am encountering this error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:
Line 142: 'Mimick the DropDownList
Lin 143: Dim ddl As DropDownList = CType(ctrl, DropD
[code].....
When I place a breakpoint on that line and add a watch it says the value is "Referenced object has a value of 'Nothing'"How can I check for a value of nothing? I thought that is what the IsNothing was for. I have tried Convert.ToString() and still the same result.

Is the any way I can embed a referenced .dll as an embedded resource? Basically so I just have 1 file on compiling, rather than a EXE and a .dll. I've tried ILMerge, but it doesn't support WPF assemblies.

I have the following projects:
TradingProject (my code) Has reference to TradingLibrary, and to ApiLibrary?
TradingLibrary (my code) Has reference to ApiLibrary
ApiLibrary (3rd party code)
I'm making several projects (like TradingProject) that communicate with a software through use of an existing ApiLibrary. But I want to push generic methods into a library I write: TradingLibrary.
Still, I would like to use some parts of the ApiLibrary directly from TradingProject. However, I then would need to pass an object (of an ApiLibrary class) into a method in TradingLibrary. Where the object should be recognized. However I assume this will be a problem, as TradingLibrary use it's own reference to ApiLibrary, so it will not be recognized as the same classes? Is there some way I can "forward" the ApiLibrary reference from TradingLibrary to MyProject, such that they will use the same reference? Or do I need to duplicate the classes and inherit from ApiLibrary for each class? Like:
NameSpace TradingLibrary
Public Class SomeClass
Inherits ApiLibrary.SomeClass
End Class
I guess that would work, if I do it for all classes I need, but is there perhaps some simpler way I'm not aware of?

I'm co-developing a vehicle information system that reads and presents data from a communication bus. Signaling information on the bus is stored on some kind of database (from the dark ages i'd guess) from which it's only possible to get data out of by extracting a xml-snapshot. Since that wasn't bad enough, someone in upper management thought it was a great idea to treat different parts of the system as different projects (it looked really nice in the organizational chart) which lead to more databases...It is now my responsibility to merge these xml-files into one and before I start banging my head against the wall i thought it would be a good idea to check with you geniuses if there's any neat solution to my problem.The structure of the xml is somewhat like this:
<data>
<frame ID="1001">

I have been using Excel in vb.net for years and no problem but I have a new app and nothing is working. First I can't get Microsoft.office.interop referenced anywhere, which was weird. Then I can't instantiate Excel App.. Dim pExcel_App as New Excel.Application -- this gives me error "New cannot be used on an interface??But I can do this..Dim pExcel_App As New Excel._ExcelApplication -- where did this come from?Then I can't put anything into cells Dim wkbSheet As Excel.Worksheet wkbSheet.Cells(1,1) = "Title" --- this give me an error "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment"
THe really weird thing is that I have an old app open at the same time that is just fine with all this code. AND the intellisense is different for each cell.The good one sets is as a range, the bad one says it is an object???I re-installed the MS PIA's but this didn't help.

I decided it was about time I learned about accessing Microsoft Office products via VB.NET. I started with Excel and it all worked fine, I could create a new Excel Application, open a workbook from file and read from the sheet then close it all down again no worries. However, when I turned to Word...things got strange. Using the code provided below, every time I run it an instance of Microsoft Word opens itself on the desktop (with no loaded content). I didn't have this problem when using Excel with similar code, so I have to ask..what gives? Is there a way I can stop MS word opening at all? At the moment it just flickers for a second (it opens when I open the document, then when I call the Quit method it shuts down a split second later)[code]...
