With all new technologies like Async/Await I spent hours rewriting sample code from the published C# MSDN Articles to VB.NET.Now that Roslyn is available, why do the authors not inlude the VB.NET code. After all, it can be converted automatically. Why does MSFT not make this a requirement fo all published MSDN articles.This would save us VB.NETs lots of precious time.
I am referring to this document on MSDN. I understand what ".BeginInvoke" does, however looking at the example code on the document.[code]The delegate myDelegate (and the DelegateMethod) accepts a control and a string, but, at the .BeginInvoke, a Label control is passed and an array.[code]Shouldn't a string be passed instead of the array? Am I missing something?
When a user make a program in visual basic, for example, can he/she copy and use some of the code samples provided in the MSDN Library? Is one totally free to use such code in one's programs, and even allowed to sell software containing such sample code, or does one have to massively modify it so that it resembles little of the original.
I get a message, "The MSDN collection does not exist. reinstall MSDN." When I try to access any of the HELP features of Visual Basic 6.0. I do not have an install disc for this. Is there a download or a place I can get this?
I'm trying to implement an Owner-drawn ListView in my application using the code available at this MSDN article, however I've encountered several issues.First of all, the double-click event only fires when the mouse is over the text in the first column of any ListViewItem. I'd prefer to keep the manual, timer-based, double-click detection routine as a last resort if possible.Second, when the ListView is scrolled sideways, clicking an item won't select it anymore.
Is there a way that I can include code or other files from other projects WITHOUT referencing them? I am trying to combine our projects into 1 EXE without DLLs. I do not want to use a self extracting EXE either. Let me know if there is a way to do it similar to the C++ #Include.
I was wondering does anyone know where i can find some good books and or articles covering the architecture and design of OOP applications. Also I need a book that explains how to structure an application as it relates to the data tier, business logic tier, and the front end.
I found on msdn samples and modified (add Thread.GetDomaind.UnhandledException)
<SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Flags:=SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlAppDomain)> _ Public Sub Main() ' Add the event handler for handling UI thread exceptions to the event.[code].....
I am building the 'TheBeerHouse' project in vb.net (the book is written in C#). Once I understand the concepts, I can usually convert it to vb. However, there are a few areas that give my some problems (which I will address individually). The first issue I have is the C# 'base' to VB 'MyBase'. [code] My understanding of this conversion is that I need to grab the attributes of the <articles> element under the <theBeerHouse> custom section in the web.config file.This code does not compile and the get the following error: 'MyBase' must be followed by '.' and an identifier.
I am using the webbrowser control so I can create articles in VB.NET and save the data to a database with the correct html tags, allowing the data to be seen on a dynamic website. I have create a little menu bar with buttons on for bold, italics, etc. The problem is I have two webbrowser controls on and if I click on the first webbrowser I set in the gotfocus a flag which I use in the click events for bold. This means it knows which webbrowser to do the bold on. The problem is, first time round when I click on the first webbrowser it does not call the gotfocus event.
I don't know what this is called so I've struggled to find an answer from google but I have a vague memory of it from t'old days.I've sub-classed (* see below) about 8 framework controls, overriden some properties and added some functionality into each one.The changes I have made are identical in every case. If I make a change, I have to go through each class and apply the same change there.I was hoping there may be a keyword such as <IncludeSourcefile "common.vb> that I can put into each class.
(* note) I use the term sub-classed but I don't know if that's the correct terminology. I've also seen it used for call-backs. Is sub-classed the correct term to use?
The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?
I just recently installed VB 6.0, and I went to install MSDN Library (April 2000 Release of the MSDN Library)afterward. I was missing CD 2, but installed the other 2 CDs. It appears CD2 is the primary one for VB. Do you know how I can get this specific CD --OR-- can I just download a newer version (i have been looking for both on MSDN with no luck)?
MSDN online looks completely different. It used to be a set of collapsible controls. Does it still contain the same content? Is it under construction due to the release of 2010?
if you are a constant answerer here on msdn, and do not have a unique signature, or no signature at all, please take a little time to create one... eason ..when quoting a post of a member, if no signature available, then it would have to be followed w/ "quoted from so and so's post", this so so said this, etc.
I'm using VS2008 with all updates current. When programming with VB, I set the MSDN Help language to Visual Basic, but I very frequently get results for C#. Why does that happen and is there a reliable way to prevent it? I know C# and can adapt the results to suit my needs, but I thought using the filters was supposed to restrict results. Apparently, it doesn't. I'm just curious; why does that happen?
I have dowiloaded vb 2008 express and cannot find the msdn image library. I go to where the intellisense tells me to go and the image folder is empty. Is there a way to download the appropriate library.
there are tools (SandCastle?) that can generate an MSDN-like documentation (HTML files) from your source code by using the XML comments above members. I am looking to generate a similar documentation (bunch of HTML files that one can link through), except not from XML comments but completely manually.It is for a custom scripting language, I have to document the available functions, and it would be great if I could do that in this common documentation style. Since there are no XML comments to generate the documentation from (the documentation is for the scripting language itself, not for my source code of the scripting language?
What I'm looking for in detail is a way to generate these documentation files by simply supplying this information for each function:
- Namespace (just the name and maybe a description) - Function name + description + return type - List of arguments and their types
from this I would to generate a document where one can first view all the Namespaces, click one (they are supposed to be links) and view all the functions in that namespace. Then you can click on a function name and view its description and list of arguments for that function.In other words: just like these automatic tools do, except now I want to supply this information manually.
While writing this I thought of one way that I might be able to do it: just create namespaces and functions in actual VB code (corresponding to the scripting language functions) and generate the documentation from that, but
1) That seems a little contrived especially if a better tool is available,
2) I would be in trouble with the types of functions and arguments, since they would have to be .NET types and not the types that my scripting language supports.
