Not Picking Up Global Constants Via Intellisense?
Jan 27, 2010
In our VB.net coding project, we have a module with the code shown below. In our frmMain.vb, we use every thing you see in the modeul.
However, when happily coding along, intellisense doesn't seem to see these or pick them up.
How can we change this so Visual Studio's Intellisense picks up our constants? For example, when typing:
If System.IO.File.Exists(SERVERS_CONFIGURATION_FILES) Then
I want to be able to type something and then the dot, such as Me.whatever and have it picked up. Below is our module:
Module ConstantsAndEnums
Public Const PROGRAM_NAME As String = "Server Monitor .NET"
Public Const TOOLTIP_BUBBLE_DISPLAY_TIME As Integer = 10000
[Code].....

When working with the code within a control's subprocedure if you type it brings up intellisense as you would expect: Code: sender. Within the intellisense there is no text property listed to select from however if you just type "text" after the "sender." it allows it. It also doesn't capatilize the T in text after you leave the line as you would expect to see when working with other properties. This is the first occurence that I've seen where an item was not included in intellisense but allowed it without errors. This is a big code saver and discovery for me as it cuts my other previous methods of extracting the control's text down to a single simple line.

I'm working with an API that spits out alot of data in name=value format. At first I processed everything by doing simple string comparison:
Sub ProcessData(ByVal name As String, ByVal value As String)
If name = "thisname" Then
DoThis(value)

I am new to Visual Studio and Visual Basic, but I am a revived dBase, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, ColdFusion programmer..I'm as good once as I ever was.So I am looking for how to implement some constants for the three main reasons anyone would want to use global constants:Readability, Maintenance,Memory Usage.For example in a list of error return codes, I may assign "File Not Found" an error code of 1010.To create a constant that exists only within a procedure, declare it within that procedure.To create a constant available to all procedures within a class, but not to any code outside that module, declare it in the declarations section of the class.To create a constant that is available to all members of an assembly, but not to outside clients of the assembly, declare it using the..Friend keyword in the declarations section of the class.To create a constant available throughout the application, declare it using the Public keyword in the declarations section [of] the class. global it is visible to all procedures and modules that comprise the application. Global variables and constants, as with Module level variables, must be declared outside of any procedures in the Declarations section and must use the Public keyword.The language above stating "Global variables and constants, as with Module level variables..." insinuates to me that Global Constants and Module Level constants are different, thus having different scopes.
And I have yet to see ANYWHERE that tells me to put stuff in the Declarations Section of a class or program or application, tell me just WHERE the declarations section actually IS! They always give the code of how to declare (I can do this...) but they don't say where the code GOES.I know I am overlooking the simplest of things, but just trying to be very sure of what I am doing.[code]

I have a class (see below)
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class ClientProfile
#Region "Variables"
[CODE]...
It is in the file ClientProfile I have placed in both App_Code and also App_Code/Models
In my code behind I have the following
[CODE]...
The last word, "ClientProfile" has the scary squiggly red line below it. It is not recognizing my class.Even the Intellisense is not picking up te class. Do I have to register the class file in any way?

I am calling this function when a button is CLICKED and received the error; The name "The" is not permitted in this context. Valid expression are constants, constants expression, and (in some contexts) variables. Column names are not permitted. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string 'True)'.
The function is as follows;
Private Sub Save()
Dim conn As SqlConnection = GetDbConnection()
Dim query As String

My vb.net browser will be the first application I'm actually pushing out to the public.Everything else so far was for me and friends or some type of class. My problem is I don't know what license to pick to release it under. It's going to be partially open source and partially not.Whats included that i didn't write or make
GeckoFx - web browser plugin like ie but based off firefox
App Life Update - http:www.kineticju...te/Default.aspx ( I have the free limited license)
Sqlite - used for bookmarks
Other than those to plugins/dll files everything else i wrote myself or followed tutorials on and modified to fit my applications need.

I'm using REGEX to scan the following two bits of javascript and get the stream url in the javascript codes below the regex.
REGEX:
Dim matchs As MatchCollection = New Regex("(window.SC.bufferTracks.push(){1}[^)^;]*();){1}").Matches(input)
Dim match As Match
For Each match In matchs[code].....
why it's working on one javascript, but not the other? (i've tested it on several, and it works on some and not on the others

I am making a HTML editor and thats the easy par ie saving as .html etc, but i want to also add in the thing thats in VB wherein it picks up the word your typing and make suggestions, i have made it so it can have a data base of a thousand words (1000) and you can add and it loads all fine. Now i need to add in the functionallity to read every Key, i tryed
Code:
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Space Then Scan = ""
But none of this works, is there a better way of getting the the key press and adding it to a string untill space is pressed in which the array is cleared.
Code:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
[code]....
So say i had a Tag stored that was "HTML" then as soon as i pressed the < key it would start checking my keys then if i pressed H it would display all word is the drop down box with H at the start then if i followed it with T then M it would show HTML in the box and maby a couple of others that began with HTM, if i then hit enter it would add in the L> thus compleating it and printing "<HTML>"

So I've tried Process and starting a cmd.exe and send commands directly to that window. And then picking up the values written to the cmd.exe window.
The code looks like this:
Dim arrServers As ArrayList
Dim s(ListBoxServers.Items.Count) As String
ListBoxServers.Items.CopyTo(s, 0)
arrServers = New ArrayList(s)
Using P As New Process
[Code] .....
But is looks like it doesn't "press enter" or something. Meaning, I don't get any results from the command. I don't even get a "'command' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." like you normally get if it doesn't understand the syntax.

We use some software at work called nicelabel, which prints out box end labels by dragging data from a database. We currently have two templates that we use, one for jpgs and one for bmps. For example this is the code that is ran on the picture on our box end label -
[Code]....
Now, if the relevant image in the folder is a .bmp, the process will fail and no image will be assigned to the box end label. Vice versa with if we run the .bmp version of that code and it's a .jpg. Is there any way we can modify that script to say .jpg OR .bmp, picking whichever it is? For example, look for this file with a .jpg at the end, if you cant find it look for this file with a .bmp instead?

trying to finish up some odds and ends of a game I am making.I have 9 picture boxes, and after the user picks one, i want the computer to randomly pick another, then the user and so on until all 9 boxes are full.This is what I have so far. It will let the user click a box with one character, then the user has to click another box and it fills it with the other character, but instead of the user having to click the second time, i want it to be automatically filled, unless it is already filled.

I have just opened VB10 for the first time and it converted my VB8 program beautifully, except that all of the screens are not showing any data !
My reference to the MS Access database file is as follows :-
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:MoneyMoney.mdb"
Do I need to change any of this syntax or is there some other reason why VB10 won't show anything ?

I'm trying to figure out how to make a number be randomly picked but only picked once when a button is clicked. I've got the simple random number code down already but I can't seem to figure out how to have it picked only once.This is basic random code that I'm using right now.
Randomize()
Dim value As Integer = CInt(Int((14 * Rnd()) + 1))
It picks out a number from 1 to 14 and returns it as an integer in "value", and I'm using to set that to open a specific form but I don't want that specific form to open more than once in a session. So if the number three was already picked out then it could never be returned ever again.

I'm using the following code to work out the next unique Order Number in an access database. ServerDB is a "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection"
Dim command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("", serverDB)
command.CommandText = "SELECT max (ORDERNO) FROM WORKORDR"
iOrder = command.ExecuteScalar()
NewOrderNo = (iOrder + 1)
If I subsequently create a WORKORDR (using a different DB connection), the code will not pick up the new "next order number."e.g.
iFoo = NewOrderNo
CreateNewWorkOrderWithNumber(iFoo)
iFoo2 = NewOrderNo
will return the same value to both iFoo and iFoo2. If I Close and then reopen serverDB, as part of the "NewOrderNo" function, then it works. iFoo and iFoo2 will be correct. Is there any way to force a "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection" to refresh the database in this situation without closing and reopening the connection. e.g. Is there anything equivalent to serverdb.refresh or serverdb.FlushCache
How I create the order.I wondered if this could be caused by not updating my transactions after creating the order. I'm using an XSD for the order creation, and the code I use to create the record is ...
Sub CreateNewWorkOrderWithNumber(ByVal iNewOrder As Integer)
Dim OrderDS As New CNC
Dim OrderAdapter As New CNCTableAdapters.WORKORDRTableAdapter

I am overriding the WndProc to capture the WM_VSCROLL of a textbox / RTB... However this does not seem to capture the scroll event if it happens from a scroll wheel of a mouse ... how can i pick this up?... i can't use the MouseWheel event because this occurs when the mouse is scroll wheel is actually turned and not after the content is actually scrolled.

how to go about picking the random weapons. When you generate a random class, the user must first enter their current rank (level). This is because you are unable to use certain guns until you reach a specified level. This keeps the program from giving out guns the user can't use. What I am doing is allowing the user to give certain parameters as to what type of gun they want to use (or don't want to use). For example, I have checkboxes for the user to pick if they want assault rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Snipers, Shotguns, RPG, etc.
I did this in another version of this program I made, but the only option was to pick whether or not you wanted RPGs included. So, it was easy enough to check if the weapon was an RPG and if it was simply generate another random weapon. I could do this, but with the number of options there are, I don't think this would be the best solution.

Say I have some constants that depends one of other, and I decided to keep them together in a container instead of keeping it as individual constants in a class.I thought use a Structure for that scope, but compiler force me to declare a private member for that structure.

i was concerned if constants take up storage. if a class had 10 integer constants at class level, will that adds up to 40bytes of storage or is that actually not true because they are constants?
what i'm trying to do: find the best place to put the constants that i need to access at class scope, and whether its best to make them shared or not. [constants are private]
