I have noticed that ShellExecute does nothing (no errors or anything) if the Advanced Compile Options for the Target CPU is set to "x86", but it does work for "Any CUP' and "x64". Is there a way or setting to fix this? I am currently running Visual Studio 2005 on a Windows 7 x64 machine.[code]...
View 4 RepliesHow is conditional compilation controlled for a VisualBasic web? For a VB Windows app, I put a conditional variable in Project > Compiler tab > Advanced > Custom controls.
How in a VB web app is a conditional compilation variable assigned that can be accessed by all the files of the web app?
I am trying to change the Target CPU for my application and have read on the net to go to Project Properties -> Compile tab then click on the Advanced Compile Options. I am using VB.net 2005 Express Edition. Is this not available in Express Edition or am i looking in the wrong place?

View 1 Repliesi have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.
View 2 Repliesok, so i want to invoke a click on this element
<div class="round spacer listTitle" onclick="Travian.Game.RaidList.toggleList(5101);">
however, this doesn't have an ID so i can't simply use GetElementById. if i were in JS i would use a 'GetElementsByClassName' and then set an index to find the element i want to use but i am not sure if vb.net has such a function so i thought about trying to call its parent element which does have an Id but this does nothing.
webBrowser.document.GetElementById("list5101").InvokeMember("click")
i have also tried using the 'GetElemenetsByTagName' (i actually was using this thinking it was a GetElementsByClassName which is probably why it didn't work, whoops) so i was thinking about using GetElementById to locate the parent element, list5101, and then if possible find the child node i want and triggering it like that. or maybe i could just call the javascript function outright ?
I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement.
Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?

I am using a 3rd party dll in an application and the installer does not register the component irrespective of any settings in the install package.It will register manually though using regsrv32 after installation.My question is how can I use the System. Diagnostics. Process.Start("cmd.exe")function to call the regsvr32 with the dll name after installation from the install package, also the correct syntax for referencing the installation folser if the user amends it on install so that it doesn't fail on execution because of spaces.Dim stRegPath as String= "regsvr32 & "" & Path.GetDirectoryName (Assembly. GetExecutingAssembly().Location) & "rogue.dll".

View 2 RepliesThis error first appear to occur randomly. Steps to recreate:Open Visual Studio and load a solution (some files automatically opened) - this is when the problem occurs Close all open files Restart visual studio and load solution (no issues)Open Exactly the same files again, restart visual studio and load solution so files open automatically (problem occurs!)
However, when trying to narrow it down to a single file (that is automatically opened when the solution is loaded), I couldn't reproduce the problem. Now with all the files open again the problem doesn't occur!!! So it looks like it is fixed - though this happened before and eventually the issue came back.
I think it is to do with one of the user controls with DevExpress controls on it - when the error occurs, the designer displays the error. Though I can't reproduce it at the moment to confirm that.
If I look at the IL that is created in Linqpad for the two following code snippets, I wonder what happens here.
In c#
int i = 42;
results in the following IL code
IL_0000: ret
whereas in VB
Dim i As Integer = 42
it is
IL_0000: ldc.i4.s 2A
IL_0002: stloc.0
Apparently, the c# compiler understands the the value is never used and thus simply returns nothing. In VB.NET the actual code is translated.Is that due to differences in compiler optimization or is there anything else at work?
Update: Just to clarify this - I just enter this one line into LinqPad and look at the IL it creates (most definitely by running the respective compiler). There is no program.
I tried using this code I got from MSDN, but it doesn't do anything.

I am calling the following function (to open a file in its default application) in some code running under Vista OS.

The function does nothing in Vista. However when running under Windows XP it works fine.

View 1 RepliesI have a university assignment, The problem, well.. in the short anyway; i have this form which is for placing orders. There is an "add product" command and next to it a list box. what I would LIKE to achieve is being able to click on add and then a query would come up asking for the user to input a product ID then check either yes or cancel. once that is done, I would like the database to search products by ID (obviously) and then display the product in the list box. the list box may contain up to 5 products and no more. there is also functions to remove individual products from the list box as well as clear the list box all together. in addition to this mammoth task, I also have a label which requires a total price. this would be the price of all the items in the list box, not in the database.

View 2 Repliesat the beginning sorry for my english (=. Ok, I have two questions:
View 2 Replieswhat I've been reading the past 2 weeks and I want to make a Multi File Downloader.y goal is to have a TabControl, inside each Tab I'll have about 3 to 5 (maybe 7) CheckBoxes, each CheckBox is tied to a TextBox where the url goes (I attached the GUI I have so far so you can see better how I want it to be).Now so far the downloader is working fine, I can download whatever I have in those TextBoxes and it is downloading it only when CheckBox is checked.Here's my problem I want it to be a MULTIdownloader lol not a single file downloader like it is acting right now.
So my question is how can I do so when I check 2 or more CheckBoxes it starts downloading the files (it doesn't have to be simultaneity, it can start downloading the first one then the 2nd one etc).Also how can I identify which CheckBoxes are checked and which ones not?
Right now I am using If/ElseIf to control the CheckBoxes but I wonder if there is a better way to do it, because I only have 2 CheckBoxes so far, to test and if I do it like I am now it's gonna be a loooong code.Here's what I have.
Private Sub btn_download_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_download.Click If CheckBox1.Checked = False AndAlso[code]....
If is too complicated how could I do so everything saves in the same location as the downloader is?I've been reading around the forum also the microsoft documentation about VS 2010 (I'm not gonna lie, I haven't read the whole thing,
