I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and coding in VB.NET.
My problem is that I've collected all the modules I've written and intend to reuse and placed them in a separate folder. When I want to add a module from the above folder to any given project, it takes a copy of the module and places in the project's source code folder, instead of referencing the module in the folder containing all the other modules.
Is it possible to include a module in my project and leave it in the folder with all the other modules, so that when I improve upon a module, it'll affect all the projects that uses/references that module. Instead of me having to manually copy the new module to all the projects that uses/references the module. Right now I have multiple instances of the exact same module that i need to update manually when I improve code or add functionality?
Yesterday I opened Visual Studio (2008 v 9.0.30729.1) and all the winform classes in my project display with class module icons with the little 'VB', instead of form module icons with the little form icon!
When I double click on a form module, the form designer doesn't open, just the code module.
When I run the project, it runs fine. There are no errors. The project builds fine.
I did Project --> show all files, and I can see the designer and resx files below the form module which doesn't look or act like a form module.
I can't open my forms to design them!
i have a module which i wish to import in several projects. is there anyway i could do this? the current method that i'm using is that i'm copying over several modules in all the projects i'm doing and if i had to change a single module i had to replace that module in all the projects, that is quite troublesome

View 3 RepliesI want to use a form in two project.
I have developed it in one project, I now want to make it available to another project.
I have removed it from the project and moved the .vb & *.resx files to a directory for common modules.
I then go into my project select Add Existing item, select the .vb project and say Add as Link.
But now my form is missing - I just have the code.
I have two classes MyPanel & MyForm. MyForm was first, MyPanel second. It says they should be the other way round. When I swap them I get the message "to add componets to your class, drag them from the toolbox...."

View 2 RepliesI was just wondering how you can make classes import into your main Form.vb
Let's say I make a class with the following.
Public Class OtherStuff
Public Sub HideMe()
Form1.Hide()

How could I make the Form1.vb include the things that are in OtherStuff.vb.
All of the solutions that I have tried come up with the same error. Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

View 3 Repliesusing bas files in visual basic 6 because I could write functions or subs that I would just easily use over and over rather than keep rewriting code. Do these work in the same way in .net? If anyone has any good info on modules like how to start writing functions and subs. Assuming of course that they work like vb6 bas files. If I were to make this sub a function how would I do this and I am assuming the benefit of this specific example would be a Boolean to check if if saved the text file or not?
Code:
Public Sub SaveList(ByVal List As ListBox, ByVal filename As String)
Dim i As Integer
Dim w As IO.StreamWriter

During the design of a new application I was wondering if using a module with properties is considered to be a bad practice. Some example code:
Module modSettings
public property Setting1 as string
public property DatabaseObject as IDatabaseObject
End Module
The code above is just an example to emphasize my question. In the past, this structure was used a lot in VB6. In the past I used it as well in my .NET projects.
But nowadays with buzzwords like Dependency Injection, Testability and Separation of Concerns the above structure smells bad. I can't really describe why, but it just feels wrong. I must admit I'm not very familiar with the keywords above, yet.So I'm wondering whether the above code really is a bad practice. If so, what would you use a Module for?
What advantage is there, if any, to using Modules rather than classes in VB? How do they differ, and what advantages/disadvantages are there in using modules? In VB or VB.NET, I use both.

View 2 RepliesI have finished creating the code for my client/server application although both parts currently execute modules/in console(this was for testing purposes).I am now looking at making both parts of the program completely invisible (they will eventually be executed as a Windows service upon startup). How do i go about this? Does the code need to be copied in to a "Windows Service" project, or is there a way I can hide both of the modules upon execution?

All this is in a module

The problem I am having is that if one of the things in the module fails such as if the users graphics card does not have any onboard memory then it will fail.This is causing everything else to fail aswell.I am very new to visual basic so ifyou could please excuse me if I have made any stupidly obvious errors and any suggestions are welcome
I have been brought onto a project where a large amount of code has been written. Most of the code is appearing in the MainWindow.xaml.vb file (yes, this is a wpf project but I think the question is appropriate for this forum). The folks who developed the previous versions in Visual Basic 6 told me that they organized their code by using Modules. I was not aware of this practice and I have actually never even used modules. Can I use modules in this way so that I can logically group different areas of functionality within the application? Or is there a more preferred method?

View 1 RepliesI have read many many forums regarding the error message "No symbols have been loaded. The breakpoint will not be hit." I had this error message come up a while ago, so I opened a previous version of my project, and copied the newest version of the code I am working on into that project. Then when I debugged, everything worked fine...for a while. Then I got the error message back, so I did the same thing again, and who would have guessed the error message returned, out of the blue. I am working on the program and it works fine, then suddenly one time when I try to debug with a breakpoint I get that message again. So I did some more research and I found a post that recommended looking at the Modules window while debugging (under debug > windows > modules). And in this window under my project, it said "Cannot find or open the PDB file". However, I compared this to the previous version of the program, that works fine, and I noticed that under Path, for my project, the path that I see is not the path where my project is located. So what I am asking is can someone please tell me how to change that path to the correct path where my files are actually located? I believe that if the path is correct, it will find and load the symbols.
View 1 RepliesI have learned that if I want my crystal reports to work on the client machines when they install my program, I have to include some merge modules. I have VB .Net 2003 and Crystal Reports 10. The merge modules that are included with VS Studio .Net 2003 are not included in the program software I have. Is it possible to download these merge modules somewhere else and use them with my software? If so, can someone give me a link on where to get them?
