I have a VB6 Project which I need to build in VS2008.
i tried to open vbp file in VS2008, it opened a VB Upgrade Wizard and created a new folder with in my VB6 Project Folder.
At this point I am completely stuck.
Is there anyway to build VB6 in VS2008 or Do we have any free tools to convert VB6 to VB.Net.

View 2 RepliesI'm creating this thread simply because I can't figure out how to compile my .sln file extension project. I've basically created a Win32 application (not cmd.exe dependable) in my current project, but I just can't compile it.I can't really find a compile button?

I have a VB.NET solution (call it S1) which produces a .vb file (say File1.vb) to be compiled and then included in another solution (S2). S2 is a console app which I want to run from a cmd prompt, not VS. My plan is to shell out from S1 to run a batch file to do the compile and then copy the .dll file, overwriting the old one in S2 (then I can run S2 in a separate operation). Here's the batch file for the compile:

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (college only has 2005 so..) and I have a very important program to write for college.My problem is, every time I try to compile I get the error: "Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly "Program" or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid." We're talking a very simple program - I've only been learning for a few weeks.

Even the constants like vbTab and vbCrLf aren't appearing. Any suggestions on this? I'm running VS2008 Express Edition.
When press F5 to compile a project, there are no errors or warnings but the form won't show up. What's up?
View 3 RepliesI have been developing a Visual Basic 2010 .NET GUI based control application that has been growing over the last six months into quite an albatross. Suddenly, I have reached a brick wall where I cannot even edit a text label in the GUI without the following exception at compile time (debug) :
InvalidOperation Exception was unhandled
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index and count must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: count
This is entirely code independent - it happens if I simply drag a new control onto the GUI without even any code behind it - Once it happens the project is hosed - even if I undo or remove what I did.I have reinstalled VB from scratch on a new computer, and same problem. I am using Windows 7 and this happens with VB Express, Even with a trial version of Visual Studio Ultimate. I am completely stuck.
My team desperately need the Scrum Solution Starter for MS Project 2003: [URL]
To use this add-in it's needed to be compiled however we don't use Visual Basic (only Visual Studio).
I've been passed a solution that has a vb.Net 2.0 project that references to a .Net 3.5 library. The library compiles with out problem but the vb project does not. It complains of missing objects which are in the library which are correctly added in the imports. Also I see a yellow yield sign next to the reference library also when I add the reference it complains of the framework version difference. Any help is apritiated. Also I'm using VS10. Imported the projects with no errors. A colleague has this working on VS9.
View 1 RepliesWhen I try to compile my VB.NET web project, I get an error that reads:[PropertyName] is not a member of '[Namespace.Class]'The class referenced is part of a dll that the project references. The property definitely exists in the referenced class, and its access modifier is Public. What's more, if I update the reference, or just remove it and add it back, the error goes away: the intellisense shows my property -- all is fine.. that is until I try to compile again. Then the error returns. I've even restarted Visual Studio to no avail. What is going on?[UPDATE]After Will's comment, I've changed the namespace to something I am absolutely sure is unique. Now, I am getting more compiler errors of the same genre. The compiler is not recognizing some of the overloads although they are right there in intellisense. Weird!

I am noob to vb.net so be easy , i know in vb6 if you compile your project with p-code instead of native it can make a empty project 12kb, if i compile an blank project in .net it is 15kb with "Enable optimizations" enabled. is there anything else to make projects smaller?

I have a Linq-to-SQL class diagram in my web application containing the two tables in my database (held in a DBPro database project in the same solution). All was working fine yesterday. I start doing some work tonight and note that the solution compiles fine in Visual Studio, but when I run the web app I get a compilation error:

View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I am trying to compile a very simple project that uses an OCX that I downloaded and is on my desktop. How do I include this in the compile so that I can just forward the exe to another user?
View 4 RepliesI got a situation where I have a group of projects in a solution. All the projects are dll's except one - which is an exe. When I run the project, it compiles all the dll's except one of them - for some reason this dll needs to be manually compiled.
I have my options set to save projects on run and to build projects that are out of date. This works for all my other dll's except this one.
Do I have something set wrong in this particular dll?
Let's say that I have an entire project build in C# and other project build VB and I made a reference to this VB project Because this two projects need to interact between each other. Is this possible? the compiled code of this two project could live together??. Also if i made the same project VB and C# the compiled version are the same??
View 4 RepliesLet me explain a bit.... let's say I already have MARIO.EXE and I want to create another (let's call it) SETUP.EXE that must have 2 buttons 'Yes' & 'No' How can I build the setup.exe and bundle these two apps together and when the newly exe (mario.exe + setup.exe) is created and launched : -if the 'yes' button is pressed it should continue with the mario.exe installation process -if the 'no' button is pressed then quit. What i don't know is the code and and how can I compile these 2 exe in a single one.
View 10 RepliesIm using Visual Studio 2008 in Windows 7. Recently I cannot debug(F5) any projects because this following error is appearing
Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly 'WindowsApplication5' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
I have a small form program that is basically an interface for installing different software packages so that we can distribute a CD with our products that our customers can just pop in the drive, autorun, and click the button to install what they need. The problem that I am running into is unlike when I had built this same program in VB6, the program rewritten in VB.net will not run on some machines, and shows me an error: .net Framework initialization error. required version of .net framework v2.0.50727.
I realize that it is asking for that version of .net framework in order to run, but what I would really like to know is if there is a way to make my exe non-dependant on this so that it will run on any machine. Requiring my customers to install .net framework in order to access an interface designed just to idiotproof the installation of some setup files and provide easy access to a few pdf's really would just defeat the purpose.
I'm trying VB.Net for the first time, and I must say, after spending two hours pulling my hair out (literally!) and trying one thing after another, I am severely disheartened. I just want to compile a simple .vb file.
I used notepad to create a helloworld file. Then my problems started. The book I'm using told me to use a command prompt, and enter:
vbc helloworld.vb
No dice, though. The vbc command was kicked out by the command prompt. I installed Microsoft Visual Basic 2008, and tried again. No dice. Double checked to make sure I had all my updates - check, but still nothing. So I just went ahead and double clicked the the helloworld.vb file. It displayed the text, but still didn't compile, and it wouldn't even allow me to debug it.
heres my code :
If File.Exists(TextBox2.Text) Then
If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "config.vb") Then
Dim pr As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider()
Dim cp As New CompilerParameters()
