Open A Console / Command Window When Using VS 2008 Express
Jul 30, 2009
I have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.

When I used to play wiith VB 5.0 I was able to create an array of comand buttons on the form. This allowed me to have one routine that knew which of many buttonshad been clicked and I could then take specific action based on which button was clicked. I can't see how to do this in VBE 8. Is this possible?
I'm at the end of my tether now.I'm trying to build a website which takes its information from an access database. ASP.net seems to be the answer, so I've downloaded Visual Basic Express 2008 and Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and I'm following a tutorial to learn the basics.
I can't seem to get the OleDBConnection and the OleDBCommand functions to come up in my toolbar. I've created a ASP.net Web Application, a Webform and tried "Choose Toolbar Items", where I've ticked the box for both, but they still haven't came up in the toolbox. This is the last step in what has been as steep learning curve for me.
I've done it before, so I'm getting a little frustrated on how to get this to work exactly I need to send some arguments to a command line window and I thought I did it this way:
VB.NET Dim p As New Process p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd"
I just started playing around with VB today and have been working on getting a very simple program running. I am trying to create a program where when I hit a button it will open a command window and run a command. I have worked on this for a a good portion of today, and have not been able to find a solution to do this.[code]I have been through a few other things to get it to work, but nothing has seemed to work. Is there a better way to go about this? it seems like it should be simple, but I'm just missing it.
how to add a MainMenu to a form in VB 2008 Express using the design window. I only see MenuStrip in the toolbox. I can add a MainMenu programatically, but not visually. The reason I need a MainMenu and not a MenuStrip is for owner-drawing. None of the MenuStrip items seem to have an OwnerDraw property.

I am having trouble opening these files on VB 2008. I basically need to open them so I can have a better idea of how to program i.e. look at the source code. I ended up looking at the code via note pad but I had to create the forms, buttons, etc. I then copied the code and I am getting errors all over the place, specifically "statement is not valid in a namespace.
At home I use Visual Studio 2008 Pro but a class of mine is trying to have us use Visual basic 2005 express edition. Since we need to submit source code files will there be a problem if I just submit the .vb file instead of the whole solution?
I got the following code snippet, but it shows errors in 3 places, the error is type "item name" not defined. I underlined and made bold where the errors show up below'Firstly retrieve data from Access database

I'm trying to put together a quick example for another thread about treeviews, and I'm getting a problem when I have a recursive routine, getting the message.
Quote:
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.
I'm a tad confused as I am explicitly creating a new command every time through the loop, so I'm not sure (unless its something ADO is doing behind the scenes) how the datareaders higher up the tree are interfering.
Here's my code :
Private Sub SetupChildren(ByVal ParentID As Integer, ByRef ParentNode As TreeNode) Dim MyCommand As New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Groups WHERE ParentGroup=@ParentGroup", m_myConnection)
[Code]...
Obviously I could close the data reader down before calling the next level of recursion but it would prevent the code continuing the loop at the current level when it had finished processing children.
I'm developing a Win Form application that can be run from the command-line interface. I'm looking for a way to print messages to console ("cmd") window.I've tried to use "console.writeline" but nothing was displayed. What am I miss? Should I redirect the stdout to the cmd window? If so - how?
I get the error message: "Format of initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0" What does this mean and how can I get the database to open in vb express 2008?
