i hav a problem in building a solution in vs 2008.I'm opening vb.net project in VSS repository.When i tried to build the application its giving lot of compile error.After examining the code i've found that the namespaces are not imported in *.vb file , hence the types used in the file are not accessible .I know that we can import namespaces at application level
View 1 RepliesJust wondering what the recommended practice is for importing namespaces. Are you always better importing the namespace like the fisrt snippet of code, or are you better to type the full namespace inline with your code.
I like both methods; the first is tidier and takes less code, the second can identify exactly where your accessing some logic from which can provide some clarity when looking over the code. Just wondering if there are pros/cons for either or if this is just a personal preference, currently I use a combination but would like to keep consistant.

I would like to import System.Data.OleDb to my list of references, but it won't let me, I can't find it on the list but it's obviously there cause I can type olede.oledbparameter.
My list shows
System.Data
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Data.Entity
System.Data.Linq
System.Data.Services.Client
System.Data.SqlXml
I can't find System.Data.Oledb. Now, I did a "hack" job and got it added, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with the GUI. I edited the .proj file with notepad and added it manually.
How can I add it with the GUI?
Steps:
Clicked on Project
Clicked on Add Reference...
Clicked on .Net, Com, Projects
Couldn't find it on either of those lists.
I have ASP.NET Application: I have added 5 classes with different Namespacess in App_Code folder..

but i didn't find Namespace that is available in App_Code Folder
If I create a new class library project in VB.NET, I can create subfolders (a la C#), add WinForm objects to these subfolders, and then specify a namespace:
Namespace Sub1.Sub2
Public Class SomeForm
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
[code]...
This resolves as ProjectRootNamespace.Sub1.Sub2.SomeForm, which is good.However, if I create a new WinForms project in VB.NET, and attempt the same thing, I get this error in the designer:The class SomeForm can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again.Is there a way to have forms in sub-namespaces of a VB.NET WinForms app instead of in the root namespace?
I am working on a solution that does not name namespaces in code files. Instead it uses the root name space of the project (which is the same across all assemblies). Basically there is only one implicit namespace.
Well, I am trying to isolate some code so that I can run FxCop against it. I explicated named the code file with a namespace to do this. This works for FxCop, but it bricks the entire solution.Visual Studio is now asking me to prefix all uses of the implicit namespace with Global. So instead of:

View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem importing a user control into a new project.I've created and tested a user control using the guide at url...If I choose Debug>Build, a .dll file is created in the release folder.According to what I've read, I should be able to open the toolbox in my new project, right click>choose items, browse to the dll and then import. This all works, but the control is 'greyed out' in the toolbox, so I can't drag and drop it onto the userform in my new project.I also tried importing by 'Add Reference' in the solution explorer and got an error about using a later version of the .NET framework, so I've set both the user control and new project to compile with the .NET 3.5 framework.

View 6 RepliesI have a VB.NET Console Application that depends on a C++ project in the same solution. I'm importing the C++ dll for use in the VB project. When I compile and then run the application, I get the runtime error R6034. Anything wrong going here?
View 2 RepliesIs there a routine that will allow me to import data from an excel spreadsheet into a database within my project? I only need to do this to populate the the database I have created in my project.
While the project was being developed I used junk test data for testing and debugging but now I wan to populate the database with the actual records.
Here is the skinny:
In the project database I have the following fields:
ItemID - Primary key
SamCode

Column B contains the Full Name Data where B1 in a column header Column C contains the UPC Numbers needed where C1 is a column header
As stated this is a one time deal and not something I need to run as part of the application.
I have just started coding my Computing project for my A-Level, and I will admit, I am far more experienced in VB6 than VB.NET (as embarrassing as that is to say).I get extra marks for making everything presentable, so was wondering if it was possible to add icons into .NET buttons. For example if I have a button to add an entry to the database, I want a nice Web 2.0 looking icon (for which I already have) next to the text on that button.

I know you can alias an Imports statement in
Imports xyz = ProjectABC.ClassABC
But if I want to use the Project Properties, Reference tab to select a namespace to allow a project-wide setting, is it possible to alias that namespace?
I have a Web Service Application Project in Visual Studio 2008. This is supposed to be an ASP.Net 2.0 project and at some point this has been rebuilt using 3.5.VS has kindly added in project level imports to System.Linq and System.Xml.Linq, but when I have re-targeted the project at 2.0 these project level imports have remained.Because the Web Service Application Project does not have the detailed window for editing project references I cannot find how to remove these project level imports.There is no .proj file which is where I would assume these were included.I cannot now build the project as it fails, even though I only get warnings (no errors reported) such as this:Namespace or type specified in the project-level Imports 'System.Linq' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.

I've started to use a Vista machine for development. In case it is significant: I'm using MSBee so that I can code in the Visual Studio 2005 IDE while still building against the 1.1 framework.On the Vista machine, when I tried to build a particular vb project, I got this error:
error BC30464: Namespace or type'Compatibility' in the project-level Imports 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility' cannot be found.
The same project built fine on my old XP machine. I checked in this folder on my Vista machine:
C:windowsmicrosoft.netFrameworkv1.1.4322
...and sure enough, "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll" was missing. So was "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.Data.dll". Copying them from my XP machine to my Vista machine allowed me to build the project successfully.I'm just a bit puzzled as to why this happened. Why was "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.dll" missing? I'm also not very comfortable with my chosen solution - copying the DLL manually. It works, but surely there must be a better way.
As far as the configuration:
Vista:
.Net Framework 1.1
.Net Framework 1.1 SP1
.Net Framework 1.1 SDK

I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.
View 14 RepliesI have multiple level of For Each and in each level, i have a Linq that is the 'In' criteria as in:
[Code]....
It will go inside each for (because the value is not nothing), however, it will only loop (next) in the very inner 'For Each t In tFor'. After it is finish inner loops, the outer Fors' or Next will not execute... even thought there are more than one values in that 'In'... like 'sFor' or 'fFor'. i've noticed while debuging, while break at the for (for example 'sFor', before stepping in), i get the error message:
"Enumeration yielded no results" when i expand the result for that variable and it will not step into it. but if i do not expand the result, it will step in. It seem that some how, once an element is accessed for that 'In' collection, it breaks (meaning does not loop for the rest of the elements) the next for that collection is this a bug or am i missing something in Linq? BTW: i believe it has something to do with the SqlDataReader in the Linq. I'm working with IAsyncResult.

View 1 RepliesI'm just starting out learning C# this may be really simple but in VB i have these namespaces
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>
<%@ import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
How do I go about using those namespaces in C#?
I tried
namespace System.Data
and
using System.Data
but they didn't work
In C#, if you do this, it will compile:
namespace Name
{
public class Test
{
[code]....
I get (depending on the way I try to use "Test") either "'Name' is not a member of '<Default>'." or "Type 'Name.Test' is not defined." in my error list. I've found two ways to make it work, but neither are reasonable to expect of a user. One is to remove the "Root Namespace" from the project properties. The other is to include that namespace between "Global" and "Name".
I have made a custom tool that uses CodeDom to generate code for both C# and VB.NET. This is the reason why neither of the two fixes above are feasible: I can't expect my users to have an empty root namespace, and I'd hate to have to do VB-specific tricks in my code generation (kind of defeats the purpose of using a language-neutral tool, doesn't it?) such as picking out the "Root Namespace" (not that I'd know how off the top of my head) and including it in my code generation.
I don't want to leave out the global modifier either, because it protects the tool from users picking bad names for the generated output. Does anybody have a suggestion for how I should deal with this?
