Multiple Project Executable's?
Jan 17, 2010
My project will be a collection of 3 projects that have similar GUI's and call on common assemblies. I want my project to contain 3 executable files when published that will load one of the designated smaller projects. Each of the smaller projects is designed to perform a different task, yet they are all similar in terms of looks and how the user interacts with the program. The best way to picture it would be MS Office. All the office programs (excel, word etc..) are part of the same package, and look similar but they perform different tasks. You can load any of these programs by opening the relevant .exe file, which is exactly what i want to do with my application.

I'm very new at using Visual Studio (about 3 days!). I want to create a project that I created into an executable file. The help menu states that I should go under the 'File' drop down menu and select 'Make' to convert into an .exe format. However, the 'Make' selection is not present under the 'File' drop down menu. How can I make a project into an executable file??

I've created an executable that's called by another app for processes that require UAC elevated privileges. If I build this project with the below manifest it requests UAC fine, if I add this projects output to my setup project it creates it without UAC?[code]....

I'm trying to embed 3 icons into a VB .NET exe. After searching for a number of hours, I ended up using this page as a guide. I made a .res file with my icons. But I cannot, for the life of me, find how to to import that .res file into my project using the IDE. The above mentioned guide mentions something about that, but no "Resources" group box is available in the Application tab of the properties Page of the project.
After more searching, it seems that the only way a .res file can be imported is by using the /win32resource compiler switch. I can use that switch only if I use the command line to compile my project. Is there any way I can add that extra compiler switch in the IDE, so that every time I compile, the .res file is automatically imported? I'm using VB in VS 2008.

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

A colleague has written a useful tool. He wrote it as a standalone tool, but it works even better as an includable dll, though it needs a bit of other functionality for it to be a really good drop-in component. What I am wondering is whether a project can be compiled as both an exe and as a dll?
There are alternatives, such as having a dll version and an exe version, since the dll version needs to include a few different methods that the exe version doesn't need, but this alternative sucks, since it would mean changing two sets of code.
Another alternative is to build the dll, then change the exe to be a project that references the dll....and does nothing other than calling one method in the dll. That kind of sucks, too, but not as bad.
I want to be able to use his module in some of my programs, and it really should be built as a component rather than a standalone app, but I want to know whether there are other options that I haven't considered.

I Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.

I have a windows forms application developed in vb.net 2008 (WBLoad) that opens and loads an Excel 2010 workbook (xlAnalysis.xlsm). The xlAnalysis.xlsm is included in the project WBLoad and is loaded from the application folder which is on the user's C: drive.
The wbLoad.Application and associated files are deployed to several network servers across the company.I just created a custom action pane using vb.net 2010 and added it to xlAnalysis.xlsm. The question is how to I include the workbook with the action pane in the WBLoad project?

I am trying to create a deployment project for a solution of many projects and two start-up projects. I understand that there are 2 primary outputs in this case. The solution will not work/make sense if either of the two outputs is not running.
At the moment, I have created a set-up project with the multiple outputs, but then I will have to open the outputs individually for them to work. I am wondering if there is a way to create a desktop icon that targets both outputs simultaenoulsy.

I declare an array on one form that i'd like to use on another form. I declare it public in the declarations area and edit it later within a Private sub. However, when i reference it from another form it's as if i haven't editted it at all and it is only grabbing the initial declaration.
Public Class form1

I have a dilemma. The program I"m trying to complete is one VB project with three (3) forms. The first form will act as a menu dialog box. The other two forms will have a dataset (database) on each form. The first form will have a button when clicked it will pull up form 2 and the second button when clicked will bring up form 3. What I add the dataset to form 2 everything is fine. I can see my tableadapter, dataset and so on. Now, when I add the second dataset (database) to form 3, I loose my, dataset and so on. It doesn't appear on any of the two forms (in designer)tableadapter.

I have a multiple project solution with a main MDI form in the root of the solution and the child forms in individual project beneath the root. Like this
Solution1
.. frmMDI
Project1
....frmChild1
[code]....
To interact with the children I set a Resource to Project1 and Project2, and from frmMDI I can interact with Project1.frmChild1 and Project2.frmChild2. I have a toolbar on frmMDI that I would like to interact with from the children. If the children are in the root of the solution, I can interact with the toolbar by simply addressing frmMDI.toolbar1. I can't figure out how to interact with frmMDI when the children are in individual projects. That is, the children do not seem to see frmMDI in the root of the solution. I can't set a Resource back to Solution1 because it would be circular.

I am in college taking computer programming and we are now in multiple classes and forms. It was very hard to get ahold of at first but now that I understand it a bit better I am curious as to how often in a professional enviornment do developers create multiple classes for a project? Besides the use of custom functions what else is beneficial for it?

First of all, I wasn't sure whether this was VB.NET or General Developer content... It's not technically about VB.NET code, but it's not very general either since it is specifically about Visual Studio. Feel free to move it if required.A while back I realized that all of my database connection code was getting very biolerplate. had 'developed' my own method of connecting to an Access database and storing the results. Basically, for each table I create one 'Manager' class and one 'Entity' class. The Entity class represents a single record in the database and has properties for each field.

I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.

How to comment and uncomment codes at multiple place within my project at the same time?I am using VS 2010 trial version to develop a VB application.Some of functions only should be showed to developer, not to users. So I must comment them and uncomment them many times during the process of development. please note that those codes are located in many locations and many VB files within my project.
Can I do this in a conveninent way, just clicking a button, or just defining a const or "#define something", something like that?

I have a Windows project in Visual Studio 2010 in which I store all images in the project's resource file that Visual Studio created for me. However, it's getting cluttered and I'd like to separate images into multiple resource files if possible. I created a new resource file, but Visual Studio doesn't recognize it when I go to the form designer and try to change an image. The only file that comes up under the Project resource files available are MyProjectResources.resx. The one that I just created isn't there.

Does the Express Version support adding multiple soultions (.sln) to a project or is this only available with the Professional version.I see that I can add a DLL as a reference that was built in 2010, but it is not letting me step into it with the debugger (or recompile changes to its source).
