System Cannot Find The Reference Specified?
Apr 22, 2010I have a Windows Forms application built in VS2005 and migrated to VS2008. I copied this application from one development computer to another, and now it states <the system cannot find the reference specified> for every single reference. These references are basic things like System, System.Data, System.Windows.Forms, etc. I cannot even look at the forms since it cannot find the reference to the DLL.
The computer the application was copied to has VS2008 installed and I can find the references in the appropriate location of (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727) and also in the GAC (C:Windowsassembly)
However, even if I try to remove the references and add them back in again it still says it cannot find the specified references.
VB 2008 : The System Cannot Find The Reference Specified
Sep 19, 2011I've created a class library in Visual Studio 2008, and when I try to add the dll as a reference, I get the message in the title for the Path field in my project references. I've been going for a week trying to figure out this issue, and I haven't been able to come up with anything. The strange thing is I can add the same reference to a Visual Studio 2010 project, and it works perfectly fine.I used VS 2008 to build it because the dll isn't used in house and needs to be compatible with .Net 3.5.

View 3 RepliesCannot Find Reference When Add Dll VS2008
Jan 21, 2010I've created a dll in VS2010 with.NET Framework version 4.0 Now I want to add this dll as a reference in a 3.5 project in VS2008. When I do this I get <The System cannot find the reference specified>... does someone has a solution for this issue. When I downgrade the dll to version 3.5 I can add it as a reference and all works ok, but downgrading to 3.5 isn't an option because other dll's are depending on the 4.0 framework.

Winforms - Find And Reference A Certain Form?
Jan 27, 2012I am currently making an application to aid me in testing another separate application (both are made in VB.NET). I want my tester app to be able to enter info in a form on my other application. Since I have familiarity with both applications, I know the name and everything about the form I want to do things with on my testee app. My problem, is that I need a way to use this information of the testee form to get a handle or something that I can actually reference that form with in code for my tester app.
How can I go about getting this form? my only experience with something similar was getting the handle of a main window of a process, but that was a bit easier by doing this:
Dim iTunesID as intptr
for each process as process in process.getprocesses
if proc.mainwindowtitle = "iTunes" then iTunesID = proc.MainwindowHandle
next
However even that I am not really happy with because it needs to iterate through every process. and even from this, I am not really sure how to reference my specific window, since it isn't the main window in this case. I have tried searching for how to do this, but my search is a bit too vague I think as I just don't know what methods are available to use to do this or assist in doing it.
my first thought was something similar to above but with something like "for each form as forms.form in 'forms.formsrunning'" kind of thing, but I don't even know a command to get forms running, and though I guess I could probably find one, I am hoping for a better solution than iterating through all processes/forms.

Can't Find Any Reference Material Online For These APIs

Can't Add Reference System.directoryservices
May 21, 2012I'm upgrading my site and pasted some code into a new form in VS 2011 Express beta. I get the standard error below: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.DirectoryServices' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
I went ahead and added a reference for system.directoryservices. Still, the errors remain. I go back to references to make sure it's been added, and it is no longer checked. Repeated tries and the same results.

View 6 RepliesSystem.Null Reference Exception?
Jul 13, 2010in the ReadFile() Sub, if the user tries to read a file that is not there he gets an exception
which results in the 2nd line in the Catch being executed. So far so good. But the 2nd line of
code in the mnuOpen_Click then gets a System.NullReferenceException which I don't understand since
the mnuOpen_Click code all works fine when called from the Open menu item. The exception
information suggests I use the "new" keyword to create an object instance, but in all my reading
and all the different ways I've applied the keyword New to the code, I've not been able to figure
out how to do this.[code...]

Unable To Import "System.Drawing" When My Only Reference Is "System"?
Jan 19, 2012In Visual Studio 10 - Visual Basic, why can't I import "System.Drawing" when my only reference is "System"? I can import "System.Runtime.InteropServices".To reproduce my problem:
1. Create a New Project in Visual Studio 10 with Visual Basic Class Library template.
2. Add "Imports System.Drawing" and "Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices" at the beginning.
3. Remove all references except "System" in the References pane of the project properties.
Result:Visual Studio cannot find "System.Drawing" but it can find "System.Runtime.InteropServices". "System.Drawing" is fully qualified so the system should be able to find it inside the referenced "System".
Thoughts:It appears "System" and "System.Drawing" are distinct namespaces (or containers?) so why doesn't qualification "." work? Does "." represent something else? "System" is also in "mscorlib" but is that the namespace which is used or is it another?"Microsoft.VisualBasic" is also listed in the imported namespaces but there is not a reference to it. How was it found? Where is the "Imported namespaces" list populated from?I have been looking through it for a while but cannot understand why "System.Drawing" is not imported.

VB 2010 - System Cannot Find File Specified
Dec 30, 2011I'm trying to make a toolkit of all the software that I use to do virus removals, PC Tune-Ups etc.. The issue that I am having is I cannot get the program to execute. For Example: I have created a small program with several buttons on it that I would like to execute specific programs that I have when they are Clicked. If I Click the 'Combofix' button, I would like 'Combofix' to start.
On my computer all the button functions work properly they execute the program that i have coded them to execute just fine on MY COMPUTER. However, when I publish the program and migrate all the publication to another computer the buttons do not work properly. My first thought is that I do not have them directed properly. As if the program does not have the other software (combofix) being copied with it.
This is the Error that I get - 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
This is the directory that i am using - Private
