I am running Visual Studio Professional 2008 on Vista home - using VB to develop a database app. When I try to add a datasource to my project (an Access database) using the wizard - I get the following error message.
" An unexpected error has occurred.
Error message: Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Datadesign.SyncDesigner.DslPackage, Version - 9.0.0.0, ..."

I have access to a database table that has been added as a datasource in project (A). Is there any way to refer to this database table from project (B) WITHOUT adding it to project (B)'s datasource?
ProjB.databasetable.GetDataSetSchema
I am running VS2008 and am using VB2008. I have created a solution file with a Windows Form Project. It contains one form. I created a class project called DataAccess. I selected that project and created a data source. Now I see the XSD for that data. If display the "Data Sources" window I see the datasource. So far so good. If I select the Windows Form project, and then display the "Data Sources" window I get an empty window with a "Add New Data Source" button/link. How do I make the data sources created in the second project available to the first one?
I have been watching the videos for creating n-tier apps that suggest adding a third project to the solution called DataEntities. I did that. I then click on the XSD in my DataAccess project. Then in the properties of the XSD I change the "DataSet Project" property to point to my new DataEntities project. When I save the DataAccess project the DataEntities project gets a file added to it as expected. But then the Data Sources window is empty no matter which of the three projects I select.
Clearly I am doing something wrong. The videos all show the ability to see the data source in the "Data Sources" window after setting up this three project structure. One other thing I noted. In most of the pictures in articles showing the Data Sources window. The top most entity in the window is the project file itself. Then in a tree structure you would see the various data sources under that top most entity. When I was able to see something in the data sources window, the top most entity was a data source NOT the project file, with the data sources under it.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? It seems like I need to do SOMETHING to make the data sources in one project visible to the others. And possibly something to make a datasource visible once split apart using the "Dataset Project" property.
In my project properties I go to publish, options, and file associations and enter ".cms", "Contact manager File" "pqcms" and "1icon.ico", but when I publish and install it does not appear to associate the files...I want to be able to double click on the file and have it open the program but it does not appear to do so.I believe there are ways to edit the registry if you run your program as an administrator, but I really need clickonce to be happy with me because I am maximizing
View 5 RepliesI got the solution as to how I could associate more to the elements within a combo box in VB. NET. (Not understood the code though, which is the reason for this topic)Suppose I wanted to associate each of these with a minimum few attributes while loading the combo, is that possible? .i.e I want An id as well as a count to get associated with each of these elements.1 Apple 192 Guava 123 Tomato 1094 Carrot 9..With only the names appearing in the drop down?? and not the other attributes..
View 3 RepliesI get how to do it, and i have been to [URL] before. My question is about what doing that does, is it possible to reverse it? What if you do not know where your program will be, and you are just testing it for now? Is there any way for it to "find" your program, or an easy way to edit where it is opened? For that matter, is it possible to tell if the file has been associated already, is it an issue to try and reassociate? Finally, how can you set the .ico file it uses?
View 1 RepliesI have a custom control that the User can add to the form. They can add as many of these controls as they like.When they add a control, I am going to populate another custom control, a textbox, in another panel.I need to figure out how to associate that new control with the previous one.So, let's say the User creates 3, let's say "Boxes", three TextBoxes are created. When the User adds something to Box1, TextBox1 needs to be populated a specific string.I know how to create and add the control as needed, but I can't figure out how to associate the controls, if that make sense.In order to distinguish the Boxes, I've added a label to them that represents each iteration of the box. The numbers start at 1 and increase from there.I was thinking I could use that to associate the TextBoxes and am working on that now.

View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

View 5 RepliesI made a change to a project and hve induced a major problem. I have warnings and errors now, but I can still debug the project with the "last successful build" Iwould like to just revert everything to that build but I can't find a way to eliminate the problems I induced or find a way to go to a earlier build. Hopefully I can get back to an earlier version or I will loose the entire project as I can no longer get to the designer.

View 8 RepliesIf I put this piece of code in a new fresh vb.net form, add a button and two labels and start debug I get execution time of about 11.5s.If I put the same piece of code in a new form in an old project upgraded from an earlier version of vb.net, start debug I get an execution time of 7.5s.So I do exactly the same in the two projects but get different execution times.
What do I have to do with the fresh new project to get the same execution time ?I am not interested in improving the code to be able to calculate primes faster. I just want to know what is the significant difference between an old upgraded project and a new fresh one. I am using windows 7 64bit on a 2,4 Ghz Intel quadcore.

Today i find the compiled bin files missing an now all my pages are sqwaking they cannot find the numerous Public Class - Public Shared Function's ... I have verified their build action to Compile but am unable to rebuild an have them regenerate on account of project errors.Advice on how to rebuild the bin or how to properly reference a Public Shared Function? My VB code includes an Imports statement taht used to find the class in app_code.
I'm developing application that is plugable. The plugins are loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom(). In my solution I have 4 projects. A WPF, 2 DLL and another DLL that is a plugin for the app. The plugin project references one of the other DLLs. When I build the Solution and run I was getting an error trying to use the plugin dll because it was expecting an older version of the referenced project. I had to clean and rebuild the plugin project to get it to run correctly.

I am developing a Multi-Project solution (A, B) in Visual Studio 2008.

I am using 8 different vb projects in one solution, beside this I am also using one 3rd party control ion all the projects, while compiling the application it takes around 5 minutes to build the project, While building the application I have observe that it uses lc.exe file which is used for "Reads text files that contain licensing information and produces a .licenses file that can be embedded in a common language run time executable." at this point it takes too much time.
View 1 RepliesI new to this Forum and relatively new to VB programming. I have read some really good posts here and thought I would ask about a perplexing problem I'm having. I createdindows Form application, built it and deployed it with no problems. However, when I added a small block of code, re-built the app and went to add the app to the Project Output Group in the file system editor the project was not in the Project drop down list. I closed the Setup project and deleted it from the project folder and checked my code and re-built the app and tried the Set Up project again with the same result

I have a DetailsView that looks just about perfect. The only thing is, there is one field that actually gets its information from another table. It is an ID field that is linked to another table in the database and I was hoping that there was some way to get that one field in the DetailsView to pull the information from the other table.
Is there a way to maybe add a + (plus sign) next to the PicklistID and then have it show the results of the other query? (SELECT TEXT FROM PICKLIST WHERE PicklistID = @PicklistID???)
UPDATE 1/11/12: The PICKLISTID in the table PICKLIST is not unique or a primary key so I cannot reference it from the SURVEY table. Is there a way to give these 2 columns a relationship so that I can just change my SELECT statement in my DetailsView to include the PICKLISTID?
UPDATE 1/23/12: I'm still stuck on this. I am not getting how to make this work at all.

how do you add information from another datasource into a cell in a data grid which has the relevant information i.e order_bindingsource grid which has the information order id, item id, quantity and cost per item.
The item id I have linked to the Productbindingsource but I also need the information to be shown cost per item which is in data source products.The item id is a drop down box with the items displayed what I need is when an item is selected I need the price to show up in the cost per item box.
I am trying to create an arrayList of people. The variables, or arrays are; first name, last name, age, DOB. I am wanting to load all that into one arrayList and dataBind it so it would look like [code] Loading it into an ASP DataList. SO Fname + Lname + age + DOB are loaded on the same line/index. Not sure how to go about this. I'm sure it's an index issue..but not sure the thought process to even begin to load these elements into the "0" element, then the "1" and so on. Not puling the information from a database, just preset arrays/arrayList. ANY suggestions? ( I have it so it is dataBound to one arrayList entry as in [code] This works fine. But if I wanted to add the last name to the first name on the same line...that's were I am not seeing the connection.
