I've programmed in C# for the majority of my .NET career - now I'm working on a VB.net project - when debugging it drives me insane the differences of how the debugging works.two off the top of my head are
1) having to prefix my immediate window queries with ?
2) not being able to mouse over a GUID, I have to ?myGuid.ToString() to actually see the value is there a way I can make it behave like C#?
I'm having to write a reporting application that gets information from some Interbase servers and it also has to work on Vista as well as XP, I'm using to connect Borlands Data Provider.[code]My Issue is that debugging on my xp Machine the dataset gets filled, debugging on my vista box it fails ("Interbase provider initialization failed"), my initial thought was that this could be UAC related but I've compiled the application and 'ran as admin' and still same issue. (by the way it failes on the line Dim da as BdpDataAdapter...)
View 1 RepliesI'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]
I have a vb.net web application in visual web developer 2008 with a dll file and i need to debug a method in that dll. I also have project source files for the dll file itself. How could i make the web application use the source instead of the dll file so that i'd be able to debug it? I've tried debugging the dll project itself, but it's not a very good solution, because it seems the dll depends on the web application settings and data and it would simply be too much work to get it working.

Update
SQLCmd.CommandText = "sp_InsertARPlanner"

Anyway to view the content of a dataset or datatable in debug? I don't mean looking up a specific element of the dataset but to view the hole thing.
View 4 RepliesSo I've got some code that I've written in C and compiled into a DLL. This code is called by my VB.NET code. That interface is working fine, but I need to debug some of the C code. But obviously since it's not in VB I can't use the Visual Studio debugger. I've tried attaching a GDB debugger to the process while it's running. It lets me set the breakpoints and it even stops at them, but it doesn't let me see the lines of code. My code was compiled with debug information, so I don't know why it won't let me see it.

I want to step through VB.net 2008 project file. The code is executed from the postbuild command line. Thus this code is really executed during the build process.Thus, can you tell me when I can do to debug this VB.net 2008 program that is executed from the command line? All I know what to do is have the solution (ide) open, set breakpoints, set the project as the startup file, and run the debugger.

I have the following problem. I have some project written in Visual Basic (not Visual Basic .NET but simple Visual Basic - sic!). I can compile it and generate a dll. Then inside my web application I add reference to this dll library. When I run my web application hosted in default Visual Studio server, everything is fine and I can debug my Visual Basic project. However, when I host my web application in IIS then I can't.Code does not stop in my breakpoint. My asp.net catch the exception when I try to execute some method from the mentioned library which is something like:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'xxx' to interface type 'yyy'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{4C2875B5-3265-306B-9C74-1BEC98986B1A}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL.

On my last machine I had created a way to see a GUID variable while debugging by hovering over it. I don't remember what it was (a visualizer?). I have a new 64 bit machine with vs2008 - is there anyway to mouseover a guid value and have it appear? What makes guid's so special that their value doesn't show like most variables?
View 3 RepliesFirst of all, please feel free to skip this entirely if you can understand the questions below.I'm still very fresh new to .NET, but an elder monkey on bad old ASP in regular VB.I just got into a company with some legacy .NET VB files and now I have a couple of huge projects, with over 50mb of files and about 1gb the whole project and debugging them haven't been easy. I've read through w3schools tutorial and did many google researchs to get to this point in which I just can't make this work. And unlike in another very similar question I don't think this is a simple issue.
I don't know if those projects are MVC or regular Web Application, but I was told to use "Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solution > Blank Solution" and then "Add Existing Web Site" to that. With no further instructions or orientation, I see they all have DLLs and makes me believe they are not MVC.
Anyway, whichever this or many other ways I've tried to add the files into Visual Studio, I could never use the Debug properly with one of them. One works fine enough, I can at least see it running locally very alike from the webserver. But the other gives me many random errors and warnings to "compile" the debug and run on Visual Studio's own server (I think it's called "ASP.NET Development Server"). Some errors shouldn't even exist like "The file XXX doesn't exist" while I can easily verify it does exist!
I don't really expect to have much help here, but I still hope to find some. Sorry if this is too much.What options do I have to debug a big Visual Studio project that already works online in a server that have debugging and even error options turned off?How can I know how to properly "import" an existing project into Visual Studio to begin with?Is this a homework question?(new) Given I have 3 places to sync many files (local, shared production network and live) what's the best approach to work on and debug existing errors? Out of the box thinking is always welcome (converting project, not using Visual Studio, older version, whatever)

View 1 RepliesWhen I download a project source file like DDDPDS in codeplex and after I do a build I am not able to run or debug the applications since I encounter different Exceptions.I think it has to do with my knowledge of configuring a first time debug.

View 1 RepliesWhen I end my app by pressing the stop button in visual studio, is there a way for that event to trigger some exit code? I'd rather do that than include a visually distracting quit button.
Better still would be to program some kind of key sequence, eg control + q to trigger some quit code so my app can exit cleanly. Is this possible? I wouldn't know how to program a key shortcut but it might be handy.

View 1 RepliesI have a background thread that waits for data to come in. When data arrives, it fires off a call to the GUI thread.All works just peachy, except if there's ever a run-time exception in the GUI thread. If that happens, the debugger always halts at the point in the worker thread that called the GUI thread. It never shows the proper line that the error occured on.How do I get the debugger to stop at the error in the GUI thread?
Here's the pertinent code from the worker thread:
Code:
Public NotInheritable Class UIThreadMarshal
Private Shared _MainForm As Form = Nothing
Public Shared WriteOnly Property MainForm() As Form

Prior to VS 2010 I was able to debug VB6 client code from the .Net IDE by setting "Start External Program" to vb6.exe (full path), or attaching to the running vb6 executable via "Tools->Attach to Process" and have execution stop at the required breakpoints in my .Net code.
Now with VS 2010 I seem to be only able to accomplish the same by setting the target framework to 4.
Is this a bug in VS 2010, or is there a switch/option that controls this?
My form keeps resizing after debugging. FormBorderStyle is FixedSingle and AutoScaleMode is None...what am I missing?
