Im using VB 2008 Express Edition for my project. This is my problem. I have multiple forms in my application and when i run it, the debugger doesnt show any error.But when i change the start up form I dont see the form which i expected to run first.
View 2 Repliesi have a project and i used NSIS to create a Setup file. I am able to install it to my system but some parts of the program do not work (and they work when i run my project in VB). For example i have a Back Up option that creates a back up but this does not work when i run the application via the installation file. Probably it has something to do with the directories?
If System.IO.Directory.Exists(CurDirectory + "Backup Folder") = False Then
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(CurDirectory + "Backup Folder")
End If
how can i make it work from the installation file? Do i need to copy something somewhere?

View 3 RepliesI would like to access to a SQL Server Database from my Visual Studio project.
I have SQL Server 2005 Express Edition installed on my PC and I have a database with some tables.
In Visual Studio, I open the Database Explorer and I try to create a database connection.
The Add connection dialog box proposes to enter a database *file name* but I cannot select a database *server* and a database *name*.
Perhaps, is it a restriction because it is a free version ?
Within Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition, I can select a database *server* and a database *name* !
I'm, following the tutorial on creating your first program in Visual basic. I'm instructed to start a new project, and select windows form application. When I hit okay I get the following error:"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Engine, Version 3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I'm trying to make a little game using VB .NET 2008 Express Edition.The game is comparable to the Everybody Votes channel on the Nintendo Wii (if anyone has ever seen it). You can submit questions to a online database. Then, if the question is accepted, users can vote on it and other accepted questions. The questions are on a timer and when it hits a certain point (after a couple of days or so), the questions can no longer be voted on and the results are displayed. Since the details of the users account, the questions and the results would be in a database online, the program would also track some fun little aspects of their voting habits and stuff.
Onto my question though, how difficult would it be to pull something like this off? Especially for someone with no experience using an online database with VB .NET? I'm not foreign to the basics of VB .NET by any means, I've taken several courses with it in college and worked with offline Access databases, but taking it online is something completely new to me.
I've developed a software using VB.Net and SQL compact edition database. (.sdf file) Now i want to add my .sdf file to setup file. I've search internet and create setup file. when i install the software, it is created new folders in program files including my database file and exe file. after double clicking exe file, it is open the software. but when using, it's shown a message "connection current state is closed". but when i run my vb project, it is working well.
Other details.
1) I create data base inside of /bin/debug
2) I've created setup file using this method. File menu --> add --> new project Then, Setup and deployment -> Visual studio installer After that I selected Setup project, then click OK.
3) I add database using this Right click on setup file -> add -> file (In solution explorer window) Then i selected my .sdf file.
This is my connection string
CODE:
It is created only 3 files in Program files.
1. my exe
2. my sdf file
3. System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll file

I would like to know the basics of roguelike development in Basic, Visual Basic to be more specific. As stated in the title, I have Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition (fully paid). I do know about variables, if statements, basic math operators (Such as addition and powers), advanced math operators (such as PI and Sqrt), nested if statements, functions, subs, and all of the other basic stuff about Visual Basic. I am most effective with console applications, rather than windows form applications. My favorite roguelike is ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery), which, in my opinion, is much better than nethack. I would like to make a game similar to ADOM, but I don't even know how to make the player move around the screen and collide with walls. I am also most effective with Video Tutorials, rather than written tutorials, just cause I'm not a big reader. I have seen most of thenewboston's video tutorials on Visual Basic more than once, and I have all of the basic stuff nailed down in my brain. If anyone at all can help me, or even team up with me in my VB.Net project ATOR (Ancient Temple of Redhold), it would make me so happy I would burst out in tears of joy! Btw, I have created a bunch of unfinished text-based games before in the game engine ADRIFT 5, so I do know the basics of game development.

My company currently has vb.net 2003. I am tasked with evaluating vb.net 2008. And suggest if upgrading to 2008 edition is necessary or if it will be beneficial. For this purpose I decided to experiment with vb.net 2008 express. I have some questions regarding this.
1) Will vb.net 2008 express edition will give me idea about new features etc. ?
2) If I install vb.net 2008 express edition on machine which has vb.net 2003, will it cause any problems to vb.net 2003 ?
3) If I code in vb.net 2008 express edition, on upgrading will this same code work ?
I am using VB 2008 express. I created a setup file for installation using the publish command. When I install on another computer, it installs under the documents and settings directory. I want it to install under program files like most other programs.
I've search everywhere on the web for this. The closest thing i could find was talking about the DefaultFolder under the projects applications folder. I don't see that option. I can specify all the publication directories - but these are strictly for where VB creates the setup file at - not where the setup file installs it. Frankly it would be really nice to be able to allow the user to specify the directory as an option, with program files as the default. But for now I'd be happy to just be able to change the default install directory for my app.
I would like to have one combo box associated with another combo box. When the first one is selected the price is displayed in the next one. The information is got from a txt file and the item name loads in the first combo box and the price loads in the other combo box. What I want it to do is to show the correct price when the first box is selected for the item Here is a copy of my code at the moment. [code]
