Moving Modules/classes/forms To A Common Folder?
Nov 23, 2009
I have two projects
a.sln and b.sln they have their own classes, modules and forms.
As I work on solution 'A' I devise a class and save it in solution A's folder. As the class develops, I now find a need for it in solution B.
How can I move it from solution A's folder to my Common folder then link it into solution A and B.
Currently I am doing this manually, Moving then linking to it. Is there a way to do this withing the IDE

Yesterday I opened Visual Studio (2008 v 9.0.30729.1) and all the winform classes in my project display with class module icons with the little 'VB', instead of form module icons with the little form icon!
When I double click on a form module, the form designer doesn't open, just the code module.
When I run the project, it runs fine. There are no errors. The project builds fine.
I did Project --> show all files, and I can see the designer and resx files below the form module which doesn't look or act like a form module.
I can't open my forms to design them!

I have a program that uses a tabcontrol. Each tab represents a collection of common tasks and, as one would expect, has a bunch of controls on it.
In my original version of this app, I simply put all functions/subs/etc related to a specific tab right in the main form class; I just divided them with lines and a few extra blank CRLF so I could jump from section to section within the code (literally named Tab1 Code, Tab2 Code, and so forth).
I am re-working the program and thought I'd use modules for this instead. So, I built all the forms and grabbed the code from the previous version, created a new module, then pasted the code into the module. VB.Net 2010 has choked all over this with a zillion errors. The functions/subs are all public, but they cannot see any of the controls on the main form. Every control that is in existence on the main form comes up as being not declared in the module.
This is the first time I've tried to use a module without a full class, and the first time I've tried referencing back to controls on the main form in this fashion (I've always just used it for functions/subs that I pass data to). Am I trying to do something here that shouldn't be done or...? I basically just want to create files so I can segregate the code into a more logical design.

What advantage is there, if any, to using Modules rather than classes in VB? How do they differ, and what advantages/disadvantages are there in using modules? In VB or VB.NET, I use both.

I have a Module in VB.NET called Math.vb and in that module, I created a Function that displays returns the percentage of one number to another. I have a Sub that calls the Function and I call the Sub from my Form1 class. Is there an advantage/disadvantage to putting the function in the class or the module?

Is it ok to use some classes and modules inside a single VB file ?
At present, I used to create them in separate files by choosing Project menu --> Add Class/Module
I was thinking about combing them into one file. Is there any merit or demerit on this approach ?

This probably sounds daft, but im struggling to get to grips with Classes/Modules/arrays and objects, as well as there uses and what they are, and yes im still coding some how i hear you cry.The reason i ask is because Ive got a load of Dim's in my program that are the same giving locations of files and folders and wondered can they be used as a module that i can alter after the program is built, incase of folder locations being wrong or moved, manually correct after install.

Is it considered an acceptable practice to use Modules instead of Classes with Shared member functions in VB.Net?I tend to avoid Modules, because they feel like left over remains from VB6 and don't really seem to fit in anymore. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be much difference between using a Module and a Class with only Shared members.

I've read that modules are basically shared classes. For a module though, you can call a method directly without prefixing the module name. So I can do this: methodTest("abc", mod1Enum.enum2)But for a class with shared members I have to fully qualify the method call, and in this case fully qualify the enum:[code]In our conversion from VB6 to .NET the need to fully qualify all calls like this might be an argument for us to bring our VB6 modules over as modules instead of converting them to classes.

I have some common code that I would like to share between pages and I have been messing around with App_Code classes which is great but I would also like to use code that affects drop down lists example:
Sub Set_FirmType(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
subcategories.Visible = "false"
supplycategories.Visible = "false"
[code]....
Is their a way to put this in my App_Code class?

I want to be able to incorporate some constant definitions and enum types in multiple classes of mine.Something akin to including a header file in C++. How do I do this best in VB.NET? I'm having a hard time because the only way I can see to do it is to inherit a class with the definitions in it but there is no multiple inheritance in vb.net so I am having some issues with that.

My VB project is large enough that it requires several files. It was originally developed as a Console App and I created each file as a MODULE. All modules could use subroutines, data structures and constants from other MODULES and everything worked fine. I needed to add basic windowing to the app and this required that the app be converted from a Console App to a Windows Forms App. The main window is Form1 which is not a MODULE but a CLASS. The problem is that some MODULE based functions cannot access subroutines, data and constants that are defined within the CLASS Form1 unless they are incorporated into the CLASS file and this makes the CLASS file very large. If I add a new Class file to the project, it also cannot interoperate with Class Form1 in the same way that multi-MODULE code interoperates.
How does one spread CLASS code across several files and still allow it to interoperate as if it were in a single file? Alternatively, how does one create several CLASS files that operate the way multiple MODULE files operate.I am sure that there are all kinds of best practices that I am violating but the goal to to get some prototype software working and interfaced to some lab equipment.

In businesslayer, there is a inherited Class Called BaseEdit which contains contractor and base properties. There are about 30 CustomEdit (inheriting classes), all of them has methods "Load","Save" and "Delete". The require for this existing system is to add a readonly user. Possible solutions considering the cost of works:
1) Modify the BaseEdit so all CustomEdit can stay the same. The system will check 'user role' in session by using httpcontext then to accept or reject the user's action.

I have a frm_Main, which starts a thread. The thread then goes and calls a module, which has a thread.sleep() in it. This causes the mouse to freeze up while it sleeps, despite being called by the child thread. I thought this would have be on the thread time-slice? However it is causing my form to freeze for the sleep duration.

I have a project with several forms and modules. The problem which I am mentioning revolves around 3 items : 2 forms (e.g. form1 & form2) and a module. (Using VB.NET 2008, .net 3.5)
Now I have a structure declared in a module. I have a variable of that in form1 and form2.
'Module Code
Structure MScanner
Dim Indicator() As MuseIndStru
Dim FName As String
[CODE]..............
Now what is happening is, I am passing structure variable MScan (Form1) to Form2 (see function of form2 InitFilter) byvalue. Then in form2 I am changing value of a copy of the structure (see variable MS being changed in a private sub). But then when I close form2, form1's variable of MScan also get the value of variable MS (declared in form2).
I don't understand as this is not suppose to happen. I have reloaded my project as well but this problem is there. Why is my form1's variable value MScan being changed by form2.

I was a VB6 programmer. And back in the day global variables, functions and subroutines were put in a module. The program started in the module using a sub named Main(). Now in vb2010 it looks like using sub Main() is possible only for console apps, which is not what I want, I'm still trying to write a windows app but it looks like everything has to go at the top of the starting form?? How is this good coding practice? Shouldn't public vars and functions be in their own module?What is considered best practice?Are there any links that would walk me through the differences between vb6 and vb2010?

i made an application using VB.NET 2010. i have 5 forms. i want to know how to make one common navigation (like in a webpage) for this application. Is it possible to have the menu and header static and loads each form in one dynamic container. I hope my questing is clear :P just to make it more cleared, it is more like having a templates in php coding where we can load other page in a particular area without having to reload the entire page with each links.

I have created a class (pasted below in case I did something wrong) for which I want to create an instance that is usable across forms/modules. I can create an instance of the class in a single form/module no problem via DIM User as New User but how do I go about create a public instance accessible from all parts of my program?

is there any way to move a contact or apointment item from a file (ie C: est) to a MAPI folder? The way I have it set up now I can save all the items from the outlook MAPI folder into the file, but I can't retrieve them. I've tried my.computer. filesystem. copyfile, but there seems to be no way of feeding it the mapi folder as a string it can understand. I've tried to see if I could open the .msg from the file as any format I could think of, and then saving it. No luck there. I've searched extensively, too, though I'm not sure I was using the correct terms.
My end goal is to make a folder on a shared drive that other users can go to and look at a list of contacts and or calendar items, then possibly upload them into their own contacts/calendars. I've even tried taking all the relevent data out of them and putting it into a text file, then uploading it to outlook. I got that working well enough, but it seems so convoluted, and is far from robust. It seems like it should be easy to just copy them over, since you can just click and drag them on the UI, but I haven't had any luck

how to move a single file to a new location. Can you move the contents of an entire folder to a new location (Lets say... inside another folder)?
Here is my code for moving a file to a new location. As you might see, this is how it works. You first select a file. Then you type in the driver (C, D, E) where your 'TEST' folder is located. Then you click another button and bam! File is loaded into the TEST folder.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I was moving files to a new folder when I realized some of the files were in the same folder and thought "Wouldn't it be grand to be able to just move the contents of this folder into the new without doing it one file at a time?"

OK, so the code in this link: [URL]
allowed me to get a progress bar. It sums up the size of all the files in the folder and then moves them and as it writes them, it determines how much has been written of the total, and sends that to a progress bar.
Now, what I'm wanting to determine is the best way to do subfolders (an subfolders of subfolders, etc).
Would it be stupid/smart to get a list of the folder structure in a particular folder, then recreate that structure, then get a list of all the files and then use the code in the above thread to recreate those files in their respective folders?
I am making a rather simple backup utility that takes one folder and moves it to another and I'm just trying to figure out the most logical or "accepted" way of handling folders when at the same time, you need to have a total of all the size of all the files being moved so you can display an accurate progress bar.

I'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

If I have a 'Shared' object defined in the App_Code folder; is that object shared amongst all users/visitors of my website? Or is it shared on a per-user basis?I don't know if that makes sense or not; but I've got a puzzle/solver I'd written earlier that I'm trying to incorporate into a simple ASP.Net site. It's probably poorly written, but I'd used a Shared boolean to determine if a solution had been found. The code works, now as an ASP.NET site, but if two visitors to my site were both validating their puzzle at the same time, would they both be accessing the same boolean?
