I've created a VB Console Application Project and am trying to instantiate a Report Viewer object. To my understanding I need to import Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms however Visual Studio does not recognize this name space. Is there some reference I need to add?
View 4 RepliesI just upgraded from 2008 to 2010 Visual Studio. I attempted to open a 2008 VB project. I converted just fine, but now I can not open the main form. I get this error: microsoft.reporting.winforms.reportdatasource is not defined.

detect whether the current application is a console or a winforms application.The reason that I want to do this is that I am developing a library with a global error handler in it and I need to know what type of application it is in order to be able to subscribe to the appropriate exception event.Obviously I could get the user to pass in a parameter specifying what type of application it is, but I would rather deal with that automatically so its all encapsulated from the user of the class.
View 1 RepliesSo basically my VB project creates a text file that is readable by another console application (not made in VB). Basically what I want to do is in my program, I want it so that when you press a button, it will run all of the text files (that you made in my program) through that console app (the console app takes XML files and converts it into another format). How can I do this? In the console app, you type in the file name (ex. File.xml) and press enter and it will give you the output file. How do I "call" a console app and have it run in the background? (background as in the prompt window doesn't pop up.)

I want to know what is "Console Application" and what is used for? I'm a Self-Learner of Visual Basic using "MS Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step" and also have the book "MS Visual C# 2005 Step by Step". I found that in the Book, "MS Visual C#...", all samples / lessons are mentioning creating "Console Applications" while the book, "MS Visual Basic 2005..." gives lessons for "Windows Applications". Why is this difference in the lesson?
What is the main difference between Console Application and Windows Applications?
I've made console apps that show what they are doing, open forms etc. now I don't always want to show the debug console. I want to make a Winforms app, that starts as a form. and in some menu open that same console that i see in a console project. how can i do that?
View 12 RepliesI need to figure out a way to programatically determine whether code is being called from a console application or a WinForms application (or even WPF). The scenario is, a .net DLL library needs to know what kind of application is calling it. Is this possible?
View 4 RepliesI have a winform app that is writing to console and it seems to work well. I'm using this code:
AttachConsole(-1)
Console.Out.WriteLine("Hellow world")
FreeConsole()
The question is:If I run the app's exe file from command line, and try to redirect the output into a file. It doesn't work.For example:
C: > myapp.exe > c:output.txt
I still get the output to console screen (c:output.txt file is created but empty), but I want it to to be saved into c:output.txt.
Is it possible to set a project default for VB.NET winforms projects so that the default Modifier for controls added to winforms is Private (not Friend)?I know there's a "modifiers" property in the properties window so I can set it for each individual control however I would like to change the project so from now on myself and other developers have to specifically decide to change from friend to private. (Which I would strongly discourage them from doing).I believe there is no way of doing this, but on another forum a while ago someone mentioned it would be possible with an add-in (but didn't name the add-in or where to get it).

View 1 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 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
[Code].....
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 am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.
View 12 RepliesHow do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?

I've been programming for quite a while now and started learning about databases and decided to make a program with a database with it. I made a normal log-in system, but then I don't know how to add information into the database or take out.For Ex:Create account button:
- Creates a new string in the 'Accounts' table
- Then the user can login with that information
The main idea is, I want to be able to insert and delete data from a windows form (the log-in system). And check to see the information, like when users login. Please help, I've tried so many things and don't know how to do what I want with Microsoft SQL.

It looks like MS have removed support for nested Business Objects in their Report Viewer 2010 companant. We would like to upgrade our web app to make use of the new features, but need to maintain backwards compat for loads of legacy reports.1: We cant put anything in the GAC as we are on a hosted shared web server.2: We are in VB so dont seem to be able to use Aliases (i think a c# feature), so we cannot add the references in VS at all or we get a namespace conflict or reference already exists error.3: The report web componant dll is itself dependant on two other dlls that are also new (e.g. common.dll and processing.dll)4: The report compnant has to run in the main app domain at the moment using ExecuteReportInCurrentAppDomain) as when it accesses the business objects, they check security roles etc and this did not seem to work if the report viewer ran in a different app domain. This can probably be worked around.
