I'm am wanting to create a setup Project and see that there is an option to create a Merge Module Project. The description is not clear to me. That is, it says 'Create a Windows Installer Merge Module project to which files can be added'
View 2 RepliesI recently added the crystal reports controls to my project. I'm using Crystal XI release 2. When I built my project I include all the crystal dll's in the release folder.I haven't done a setup project yet, so I just take the release folder over to the client and paste it into a directory in the Program files folder.I am getting an error on the crystal report form. I assumed as long as the dlls where in the release folder everything would work.Do i need to install a merge module or something on the clients pc?
View 2 RepliesI have two projects that contain extension methods. One project is implemented using C# and the other is implemented using VB.NET as there are some things I can do in VB.NET that I can't in C# and I want to leverage those features in my extension methods. How can I name the projects to convey their meaning while at the same time differentiating that they are implemented in different languages?For the C# elitists:One of the features that VB.NET supports that C# doesn't:Doesn't C# Extension Methods allow passing parameters by reference?FYI: This doesn't work for reference types, which is what I'm interested in.

View 5 RepliesThe company I work for has a VB6 project that is using an ACCESS database.The project consists of seperate modules such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, General Ledger, and Inventory.At the current time each module is a seperate project in VB6 and the EXE files are called when needed.In total there are about 1300 forms in the project.We are moving from ACCESS to Sql Server and from VB6 to VB2008.The question that I (we) have is as follows; Should we continue to keep each module seperate and call the EXE's or should we create one large project?What are the pros and cons for each way?Is there something written that explains the advantages of either?
View 5 RepliesForm1 has 2 public string variables defined and initialized to "" (an empty string).Form2 has 2 text boxes and a button. When the button is clicked the public variables on Form1 get set to the values in the text boxes.This works fine.I recently had to add a module to my project so that I could use Main as the startup item. Ever since doing that the above no longer works.The variables never get set to the values in the text boxes. They just stay empty.My Main code is simply this for now:
Dim f As New Form1
Application.Run(f)

What is the purpose of Interfaces? it's just a collection of properties, method and events which can be used over and over again by different classes. Its no different than declaring the needed method or property in the classes separately rather than using Interface (because in Interface, you have to write the inner working in each classes implementing the interface). Is there a case where an interface comes in handy (I mean cases where Interfaces are absolutely necessary, without them the program won't work)?
View 9 RepliesWhat is the purpose of Public property? why would i do this instead of just doing Public abc as string? [code] Because you may want to do data validation on it before assigning the value to the Private variable. Because you might want to raise an event when the value in the Private variable changes. Because you might later want to make it a ReadOnly property.
View 12 RepliesWhat is the purpose of the function CLine, because it is used in my code and it isn't a member of the namespace it is attached to in the vb6 code pasted straight into visual studio 2005, what would it do in this context:

frmXML is a visual basic.net windows application.
My app displays a list of records in a DataGridView on the main form. I've developed code for cut/copy/paste for the selected records and have put the code behind Cut/Copy/Paste menu items under a classic 'Edit' menu design, with the standard shortcut keys(Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V).
The trouble is, I also want the shortcut keys to work on selected text when I'm editing inside text fields on a record in the DataGridView. So I need the shortcut behaviour to change depending on whether I'm editing a record or selecting record(s).

I am currently reading up on documentation for a possible assignment I might be put on. In a design document they talk about the .exe.config file. They state that its only purpose is to store constants: "Also note that this file is meant to store constants only, it is not meant to write configuration values to (and the .NET 1.1. framework even prevents this by not offering classes/methods to do so). Therefore, configuration is written to XML files using a..."As far as I understand, this is not true. I don't know about .NET 1.1 preventing this, but I remember in my last project that I did write configuration values to that file (I saved GUI contents there). My project was a small prototype, so maybe I did it wrong, but I do not think so...So what is the intended purpose of this file?

if a call to For Each starts by calling the Enumerator's MoveNext, then Current, then MoveNext, then Current, and so on until MoveNext returns a False then it exits, am i right to say that the Reset is never called?initially i thought that Reset would be called when MoveNext returns False, i tried this (a msgbox would come if it was ever called but i got no msgbox at all)
[code]...
if that's the case, what exactly is the use of the reset in an ienumerator, and is it ok to leave it empty, as such

View 1 RepliesI have seen that BindableAttribute is used to decorate public properties in custom controls. MSDN briefly mentions that it provides the ability to control the binding direction and whether binding is supported at design time.
public class MyControl : Panel
{
[Bindable(BindableSupport.No, BindingDirection.OneWay)]
public string MyString { get; set; }
[code]....
1) I set BindableSupport to No, however I could still do this in markup (.aspx).What does BindableSupport affect then? Does it hide the property in the toolbox?
<cc:MyControl runat="server" MyString="something" />
2) How does one-way binding and two-way binding work in the context of custom controls and ASP.NET?
