Moving A Windows Form (with Dataset) From One Project To Another
Mar 15, 2010
This must be a common problem, so perhaps someone can point me to a Knowledgebase article. I've got a form that works fine in a completed project. It's a windows form that uses a dataset and tableadapter (which show in the tray below). Now I'm developing a different project that requires a very similar form. I want to "copy" that form into my new project, make some minor changes, and then save it under a new name.

I have a solution with several projects most of which are code or control libraries. I have a main windows forms application that references and uses these libraries. What i am trying to do is create a 2nd windows application that extends the main one, but i would like to be able to deploy them as separate exe's.
When i try to add a reference to the new app referencing the main app; all seems fine until i try to run the new app i get several error msgs similar to below:
Error 1 Could not find file 'ADODB.dll' referenced by assembly 'D:Visual Studio 2005ProjectsXXXinDebugXXX.exe.manifest'. <newAppName>
i have tried adding references to all the dll's in the error messages and they are still listed when i try to run the new app. I thought of a few work arounds but they require user changes to maintain separate exe's at deployment. I would like to avoid this if possible.

How can I update and get values in a Windows Forms application while moving one form to other form (like cookies)?
I need to update the values to some variable and again I am going to refer stored values and need to do some calculations.
I have used cookies in ASP.NET but I am not able to find out the same concept in .NET Windows Forms (C#).
How can these issues be resolves?

I could review that could help me create a designer view (actually similar to how Visual Studio works but more basic), I would like to be able to add controls dynamically (just panels or images), then move those around individually(drag and drop), then count them all and get an array of what I have added..[code]But I would like to get an idea how it looks if things get more complicated..I wonder, are we able to use the classes of Visual Studio's editor in some way? Or are there .NEt classses that can do this?

I have a MDI app in development that uses parent-child datasets. My problem is when I update a dataset on one child form I then need to update the dataset on another child form. I know the dataset update has been commited to the source as when I reload the second child form the changed values are displayed.
[Code]...
Main.CarTableAdapter.Fill(Me.RCCarV2DataSet.Car)Unfortunately when I close the form that executes the above code the "Main" form which is still open should display the new values in the bound controls but it doesn't. The only way I can get the changes to display is to close and reload the "Main" form.

I think I fried my brain. Something so easy and I can't figure it out. I have a windows form with a datagrid and a dataset and some textboxes.I have a button that populates the textboxes with the selected row from the datadrid. That works.The user then makes changes to those text boxes.Now I would like to update the dataset with those new values and can not figure it out.If you could please give me some sample code,

I am working on VB.Net. I have a sub form with a datagridview, that is being loaded with the criteria taken from another form. Hence this form is called with parameters. Here is the code that calls the sub form.
[code]...
where ds is the dataset to fill the datagridview and rb is the string from a radio button on this form.
Here is the code in the sub form.
[code]...
Now, I need to refresh this sub form every -- minutes, depending on how the user wants it to be. For this I have given a NumericUpDown control to select the mins. All this works fine. But how do I refresh the dataset and the datagridview?

I have a typed dataset with table adapters. I use this method because it makes it easier to design the layout of my DataGridView.The problem is I have added a new table to my dataset. When I go to the "Data Sources" list view, I can see the new table.However, if I add a new DataGridView to my form then attempt to bind it to my new data table, the table will not show up in the list of tables for that dataset.

I have an error that keeps regenerating when the form is closed and open back up.
1) Windows Form Application (Project: TestProject)
2) Add class in same project:
Public Class Test : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
3) Drag and drop into the form within the project (works fine)
4) Close form
5) Re-open form... then error about the class Test in the project not defined
Actual Error: Type 'TestProject.Test' is not defined.
Is there a best way around this besides creating a separate project and putting the 'Test' class in that separate project and referring that separate project in the 'TestProject'?
Modified Added: By the way... i've used Global.TestProject.Test... but then again another error generate with the custom property within the 'Test' class.

Copy Windows Form from projact A to project B This looks a trivial task, but using VB 2008 Express edition:
1 - If I click Solution - Add - Existing And hand pick the 3 form files (the .vb, the .resx and the .designer.vb) then I can see those 3 files as textfiles, not as a "real" VB form!
2 - I want to duplicate Form1 to create Form2 that is slightly different.

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

I want to start a Windows Forms Project (VB.NET) using a simple text editor like notepad.

Have been doing well moving a VB6 project to VB 2008.Here's another question.I am making an onscreen keyboard.I have my qwerty buttons handled by the same Event, as recommended to me by someone in these forums. It works great, and it was easy to set up.In my VB6 project, when I designed the "CAPS" button, all I had to do was this:
[Code]...
Can someone take a second and explain to me how this is accomplished in VB 2008? Do I have to physically type every button into an array and then do something like I did in VB6?

I have developing a program on one computer and when I try to move it to another computer running vb2008 express, I always get an error message saying "the project file (directory path, project name.vbjproj) has been moved, renamed or is not on your computer." The files etc. are in the same folders as other projects that run properly. Can't figure out how to correct the path etc. or figure out why the message as the files are where they should be.Cancel the question. I found my problem and it was me that caused it.

don't want to run into any problems. I just set up a 2nd PC and installed VB express 2008 on it.
If I want to move a project and all it's necessary files to the new PC, is it as simple as copying the project folder and then File > Open ?
If so, can't remember -- best choice is the project file or sln file?

Using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008. I have students zip the folder for a vb project and send it to me. Then I unzip and add it to a project of mine. It will not open any of their work as the path has changed. I can't even see the code. If they send me the code only then I have to recreate the forms. They also have problems saving it on a jump drive, then moving that jump drive to a different computer as the drive letter changes. I have looked for help and it states to go to icons that I can't find in studio 2008. Using the open existing project gives the same result as the path has changed. Is it impossible to give someone else an existing project? I have gone in the import/export options but have run out of guesses.

i am a Microsoft Word developer and I sell Microsoft Office solutions, to companies. I am beginning to be concerned that my solutions are being copied - which is fairly easy.I am hoping someone can give me some advice about the best way to do this.I don't really have much of an understanding outside of Office VBA development - but have dabbled in .NET and VB in the past. Should I be buying Visual Studio - if so, does it matter if I buy Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 - I will initially need to convert some Word 2007. I have previously downloaded the .NET framework, and not sure how this relates to Visual Studio.

I developed a project that uses Access 2003 db on my Vista 32 bit desktop. I recently bought a Vista 64 bit laptop and upgraded it to Windows 7.I installed Visual Studio on my laptop and Office 2003.I copied the project from my desktop to my laptop using the exact same paths. When I try to build the project on my laptop I get this error:"Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store"So, I tried creating a simple project using an Access 2003 DB and when I try to run it I get this error:"MicroSoft.JET.OLEDB.40" Not registered on this machine".I went to the "windowsSysWOW64" folder and ran "regsvr32 msjetoledb40.dll"and it ran successfully, but it didn't solve the problem.If I use the Server Explorer in the IDE, it displays the data.

I am having trouble opening my vb.net 2005 project from a backed up copy on a hard drive. The original files are on my old XP computer which I no longer have access to. I am trying to open the project in vb.net 2010 on Win7. I have converted the project to vb.net 2010 and when I open the file, nothing shows up, when I try to open them, it tells me the form isn't found in the project directory because it's been moved or deleted. I know that the software on the hard drive didn't back up .exe files, I'm not sure if it did back up other kinds of files. I don't want to restart the project because I've spent over a year on it and have written over 3000 lines of code on it.

For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
