Im new to VB 08 and i made a project that runs fine when i debug from inside the VB solution explorer. When i go to my BIN folder and try to run my project, the project runs but the button event seems to be none exsisten, also my message box does not appear on load, it should give an ERROR message if it does not detect the process writen in the module.

View 4 RepliesWhen an error occurs in any of my .NET assemblies the user just gets a generic error saying "MyApp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I would like the user to to see the error message and line number if possible.From what I understand you need to deploy the pdb file along with your assembly. I did that, but it had no effect. This is a Windows application.

View 2 RepliesI created a vb dll using class library in visual studio 2010 [URL]... I have accessed this Dll in Excel VBA by referencing it through (Tools>>Reference)...I obtain different results when i run my program from Excel and when I run it from Visual Studio during debugging (here the debugging starts Excel as an external program). The results are exported by the dll function as a structure array ( The required values
are in double format in a constituent 1D array). The difference is as high as 5%.
What might have caused this difference? Could someone please help me with this?
I have several VB.NET Windows Form applications connecting tp several Network databases. When I build, update and test my apps, I want them to connect to a testing database as opposed to connecting to the production databases when the app is released.Right now, I change a setting in my coding before releasing the app, but I would like this to be automatic, to prevent any testing data in the Production database and vice versa.I found this piece of coding on the web, but it doesn't seem to ever be in DEBUG mode and by DEBUG mode I mean when I click the "Start Debugging" button or the F5 key.

View 5 RepliesWhat is a good approach to managing a debug and release connection string in a .NET / SQLServer application?
I have two SQL Servers, a production and a build/debug and I need a method of switching between the two when my ASP.NET application is deployed.
Currently I simply store them in the web.config and comment one or the other out, however that is error prone when deploying.

I have an x86 VS2010 app running on a 64 bit machine that hangs in debug mode. Both the interpretive version and the compiled debug .exe hang. If I step through the interpretive version it runs. The release mode works fine. Doesn't seem like system memory is a problem as I'm reporting 1.8 gig free after I load the app. I've googled this and don't see anything pertaining to debug environment specific behavior. Is there a limit to what the debug .exe supports?

I am having a strange issue when building assembly's for one of my modules.I was getting errors when running on 64bit which I traced back to being related to the assembly being 32bit specific. Our modules are(or should) all be built to be bit agnostic.Running CorFlags.exe on the assembly showed the following.

View 2 RepliesI work for a shop that maintains a fairly new app. The app still has its fair share of bugs, with numerous tickets coming in daily. The error information we're given with those tickets is not as useful as it might be because the application was compiled in Release mode, which I read is smaller and faster (makes sense).
Are there any ramifications to deploying a .NET application to production that was compiled in Debug mode? I would expect it would be a bit slower, but I've read the difference is nominal. This would assure us that when we get errors on tickets we have line number associated with those errors and this, of course, makes debugging much easier. major red flags that would prevent you from doing this? I'm tasked with researching the possibility.
I have a project written in Visual Basic.NET and at each action I do have a statement for handling the exceptions (if any) :

I am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
We have a asp.Net vb.net 2008 project on tfs2010. The project has one main branch and for any release we create a new feature branch which is finally deployed. Post production deployment we merge back the branch back into main branch.We are now also adding a db project to manage our SQL too. Question is how to version control the differential scripts. The db project contains all create scripts which is fine if we had to deploy thep project from scratch but the project is already live. So now any new release or hotfix would normally contain alter or change script practically.
