Vb Versus Vba - Convert And Upgrade An Application
May 8, 2009My company is in the process of analyzing how to convert and upgrade an application that was written in Microsoft Office Access 2003. Recently we purchased Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
The first step we'll probably take will be to convert the Access data to Microsoft SQL. Is there a recommended way of doing that? What should be done with the VBA code?
The second step we're not sure about. We're wondering in we should develop all new software in VB or that we should still use VBA, if possible, after the data has been converted to SQL.
Asp.net Mvc - ViewModel Object Is Not Preserved
Jul 14, 2010I am sort of new to MVC so pardon my ignorance. I am using IoC ( StructureMap ) and I have a need to pass in an instance of what I consider to be a set of Controls to each view, so I have created ViewModels in order to accomodate this. The view model is populated with an instance of the Controls and the View is then rendered. When a user performs a POST, the Controls are not being passed back to the Action.

Office Automation - Font Color Not Preserved
Jul 17, 2009I'm automating Excel => Word table and then vice-versa. However, some of the text within a cell is red and needs to be kept red in the word table and also going the other direction, if some of the text is red then it need to be red in the worksheet cell. However it always comes out black after the automation. I see in WORD a search and replace for FORMAT, such that I can replace a word that is red with one that is blue. However, I do not see that capability within an Excel cell, I can change the entire cell, but not part of the cell text...

Aug 27, 2009I have created a little application to move some files around and put them into a database. This is working well except that the application needs a timeout. If my app has not completed the task within 2 hours it re opens and locks out everything. I need to say that if my application has been open for 2 hours close it. One thought was can you set a time out in an application.
View 3 RepliesC# - Setting External Application Focus?
Dec 17, 2009In VB.NET, you can set focus to an external application using
AppActivate("Windows Name")
or
AppActivate(processID As Integer)
Now this works fine if you do for example:
Dim intNotePad As Integer = Shell("C:WINNTNotepad.exe",
AppWinStyle.MinimizedNoFocus)
AppActivate(intNotePad)
But when I do:
For Each theprocess As Process In processlist
If InStr(theprocess.ProcessName, "DWG") Then
strProcessList += String.Format("Process: {0} ID: {1}", theprocess.ProcessName, theprocess.Id) + vbCrLf
AppActivate(theprocess.ID)
[code]....
then it doesn't find the window, even if it's open and even if it finds the window using the window title.But I need it by process ID.How can I do that?I need it to set focus on a 3rd party installer in a windows installer setup project.
How To Make Persistent Application Setting
Dec 7, 2009I have an application that has two states based on the value of a Boolean variable: a read_only=true state and read_only=false state. The value of this state is stored in an external settings file. My application has a feature called deploy that generates a copy of itself in the same folder with the read_only=true state. But, the read_only variable value is stored in an external file so now both files will be in the read_only=true state. What I want to do is make one of them(the original one) always be read_only = false and the other read_only=true

View 1 RepliesChange Application Screen Size Setting
Jul 27, 2010I am working on an application using vb 2008 express. I have built test programs over the past few weeks and shared them for feed back. Today when I finished some work, I built another test application, but when I install it the start-up screen maximizes but is set between one and two desktop icons from the top of the screen.
In debug mode it looks fine. In the past it looks fine. Each time I start the program the screen is in a slightly different location. It is set to start maximized and to the best of my knowledge, I did not change any settings in the property area. I have tried loading on three computers and the results are the same. Any ideas on what I could have done to produce this strange result?
IDE :: Setting The Same Properties For All Forms In A Single Application
May 15, 2012Most of the apps I write have a base / home form and a few other forms (three of four typically) which pop up in response to controls clicked by the user. I'd like to be able to set some properties to be the same for all the forms in an app; particularly properties like BackColor and FormBorderStyle. Yes, I can manually set the individual properties for each form in the VB IDE, but I'd prefer to be able to have one line of code in the base / home form for each property along with one line for each dependent form which says something to the effect of "use the same property value as the base / home form has". Overall, my objective would be to have one single line of code in the app which, when changed, would apply the changed property to all the forms. For example, a single line which I can change to take the BackColor from Apple to Orange for all the forms ...

View 6 RepliesSetting File Attributes After Deploying An Application?
Nov 20, 2009I have an application that uses a text file for its settings. This file is placed in the application folder but deployment sets its file attributes as "Read Only". I have to manually change this attribute every time I deploy the application or an upgrade. I tried (successfully) to place the text file in the "Documents and settings|All users|Application Data" folder, creating a specific folder for my application in which to place my file. The folder and file were created by the setup process but then, users who did not have admin rights still did not see the file, let alone open it.
I have gone back to placing my text file in the [Programs files]|[Manufacturer]|[Application name] folder but am saddled with manually changing the attributes. Is there a way I can do this programatically during deployment (e.g. by some post-deployment process)?
VS 2008 Binding NumericUpDown With Application Setting?
Jul 21, 2011PROJECT TYPE: Windows Forms Application
LANGUAGE: Visual Basic
.NET VERSION: 3.5
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
OPTION STRICT: on
OPTION EXPLICIT: ON
I am attempting to get 7 NumericUpDowns to display the value of the application setting they are bound to. Each UpDown has its own setting binding. The setting is a decimal datatype with a value of either 4 or 6 as default. I need the UpDowns to display the setting value when the form loads. At the same time, I need any change made to the UpDowns to be saved to the same setting so that the application can both display and use the new value the next time it runs. Unfortunately, the only way I can get them to display anything other than "1" is to hardcode a constant value, and I don't want it to be constant. I think this is the last bug in my application and would love to get it figured out, but I've spent over 8 hours on it with no luck. Here is the applicable code.

Sep 7, 2010I'm trying to set hotkeys for all my favorite websites. When one of these hotkeys are pressed, I want it to load the assigned website in internet explorer, but I want internet explorer to load on my SECONDARY monitor. I've already set out the hotkeys to load internet explorer, but it loads on the wrong screen. How to check if an instance of IE is already running. To be a bit more specific: the secondary monitor is set to the LEFT of the primary one. And the resolution is at 1440 x 900. So basically, I want to programmatically set IE's position to (-1440, 0) from within my application itself.

Deployment :: Application Icon Setting In Project Properties
Jun 5, 2009I have a icon for my application that I set in the project properties window there is a little drop down box to browse to the icon location. While debugging everything is good. Once I build the app and place it on a PC and manually start the app all is good. My app starts with windows and now every time the program goes to start I get an error that the icon cannot be found in the DocumentandSettingUSERNAME folder. So the question is do I have to place my app icon in this folder? In design I have the icon in the binDebug folder and that is were I point to in the Project properties page.
