I apparently didn't save the project I was working on as a "solution" file, and I all I have are two separate files.[code]I only have those two files. The code is there, but the solution explorer lists nothing, and I have found no option to just simply open up my project after saving it so I can work on it again. I see no design. I really just want to see my project like it was before.
View 3 RepliesI'm developing application that is plugable. The plugins are loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom(). In my solution I have 4 projects. A WPF, 2 DLL and another DLL that is a plugin for the app. The plugin project references one of the other DLLs. When I build the Solution and run I was getting an error trying to use the plugin dll because it was expecting an older version of the referenced project. I had to clean and rebuild the plugin project to get it to run correctly.

I am trying to run an HTML file that I have imported into the Solution Explorer. I don't know how to refer to documents in the Solution Explorer in code. How can I do that?
I am currently using this code, but it doesn't work: process.start(".help.html")
It was suggested that I pose this question here instead of the installation forum:In VB2010, when opening a class, form, etc. from the Solution Explorer, I would like it to open as a floating window, not as a tabbed document. Is there a way to do this?
View 12 RepliesI am using the book: Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: An Object Oriented Approach and have a question. It says for instance: "In Visual Studio, open the solution file of the same name appearing in the folder named Chapter.09Chapter09ApplicationLessonPreview." Where in the world do I find this file? Is this something I have to create myself or is it already done and I just don't know where to look.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a solution in .Net utilising the VMWare Web Service API to create new isolated virtualised development environments. The front end will be web based. Requestors input details for the specific environment which will be persisted to SQL. So I need to write an engine of some sort to pull the data from SQL and work on the long running task of creating resource pools, switch port groups and cloning existing VM templates etc. As work progresses, events will be raised to write logs and update info back to SQL. This allows requestors to pull data back into a webpage to see how it's progressing or if it's completed.
The thing I am struggling with is how to engineer the engine which will exec the long running task of creating the environment. I cannot write a windows service (which I would like) as we work in a very secure environment and it's not possible (group policy etc). I could write a web service to execute the tasks, extending the httpRuntime executionTimeout to allow the task to complete. But I'm keen to hear what you guys think may be a better solution to use (based on .Net 3.5). The solution needs to be service oriented as we may be using it on other projects within our org. What about WWF, WCF? I have not used any of the newer technologies available since .Net 2.0 as we've only just been approved to move up from .Net 2.0.

View 1 RepliesI am coming to the end of coding this system in Visual Studios 2008 which I took over from a guy who has worked on it for a year.He is not here anymore.He made 9 projects and put them into one solution(screen shot below).I have only published a .NET website for VB and have never published something like this.P3Data is the only one that the publishing tab comes up with. All the other projects the publishing tab does not come up. Why is P3Data bold? How can I publish the whole solution 'P3Data' as one whole entity?

I have a visual basic 2010 project with a solution. When I double click the solution the project opens. I cannot see the solution file. I am trying to add an existing project to my solution but I am having trouble.How do I add an existing project to an existing solution?
In VB 2005 if I double click the solution the solution opens with the project underneath it. But in VB 2010 they have made it complicated apparently.

View 1 RepliesI would like to know if there is any way that I can rename an entire project / solution.I created a project called say WindowsApp1, and then realized that I do not want that name, I'd like to rename it to something else.So I'd like to rename all references to WindowsApp1 throughout the project to another name.
View 9 RepliesI've recently had an issue at work where I have lost my solution files to my projects, but I still have the executables that have been produced by the projects / solution (yes, my fault for not making better backups). Is there any software out there or any way of decompiling the executable back into a solution / project file??? IF yes, fantastic! If not, it just means I can cross it off as an option!

View 4 RepliesI Imported 2 programs that I made into one solution. I made a "BIG" main menu (new windows form), put two buttons. I code one button to open up the first project (that works fine). I code the other button to open the project I imported, however it says that the name is not declared. Am I doing something wrong?
here is my code for the "BIG" main menu:
[Code]...
now only the "Original name of first project" appears to be not declared, if I delete "Original name of first project", then "the project I imported"is not declared and so forth. Note: These are not the exact names I called my forms. I'm just trying to explain it clearer.
there used to be a plugin that would tally up the total line of code for a project... does that tool exist still, or is there a comparable tool in vb2005

View 2 RepliesI've added a C# project to my VB.NET solution and I'm trying to access all of the classes and namespaces within that C# project.However, I'm not having any luck. I've never had to do this before, so I'm a bit lost.After adding the project, I tried importing the namespace from it. When I do, I just get the green squiggly telling me that the namespace doesn't have any public members or couldn't be found.Since it does have public members, I'm assuming it's the latter issue.So is there anything I need to do in order to access besides just adding it?
View 2 RepliesI can have all the projects existing in the same solution, and it builds fine. I can have a reference added to the project that I want to show a form from and still builds fine, every time I do something like this: Dim form_to_show as new Project2.Form1 form_to_show.show() It appears to corrupt the RESX file and stops compiling...it's really getting anoying..

View 1 RepliesI have a multiple project solution with a main MDI form in the root of the solution and the child forms in individual project beneath the root. Like this
Solution1
.. frmMDI
Project1
....frmChild1
[code]....
To interact with the children I set a Resource to Project1 and Project2, and from frmMDI I can interact with Project1.frmChild1 and Project2.frmChild2. I have a toolbar on frmMDI that I would like to interact with from the children. If the children are in the root of the solution, I can interact with the toolbar by simply addressing frmMDI.toolbar1. I can't figure out how to interact with frmMDI when the children are in individual projects. That is, the children do not seem to see frmMDI in the root of the solution. I can't set a Resource back to Solution1 because it would be circular.
I am using Visual studio 2008. I didn't see a place to post questions about this . I am creating a mobile application, at run time the executable itself is not updating to show the changes from source code i have written. I feel there must be a setting or something in visual studio .
