At the moment, my current application is targeted for the Vista OS.I was wondering if there is a way to maybe use conditional logic or something else to target XP.
The tasks my program will do are depend ant on the file structure of the OS. As you all know, the file structure in Vista is different in XP.I thought that maybe I could do something like, If XP Then... Else If Vista Then..
I have windows application in .net framework 4. I want to display PDF file in PDF Viewer Control. I tried to user AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll (provided by Adobe), but as my application runs on 64 bit, it gives exception at run time.
View 5 RepliesIs there a way to make VS2008 work with the old (vs2005 crystal reports) assemblies and not require any updates to be installed in the client machines? We have upgraded a Visual Studio 2005 .net 2.0 solution to Visual Studio 2008. The purpose is to take advantage of the IDE improvements and because it supports multi targeting. The solution still has to be built against .net 2.0. It all works as advertised, we rebuild and run it in a machine with only .net 2.0 installed.
But during testing we get an exception when we try to show a Crystal Report that is included with the application. Then upon review we find out that without telling us, Visual Studio changed the references to the crystal assemblies and pointed our solution to the updated versions that come with vs2008, which requires crystal runtime be updated on client machines. We did try removing the references and adding the old ones but it won't compile.
Which language is preferred by most developers especially targeting .NET & silverlight? Is it C# or VB.NET?
Are there any advantages/disadvantages of both languages when compared with each other?
I was wondering how I would send a formatted vbscript block of code to the vbscript scripting interface for it to execute? I have tryed Windows script host but dont understand how to implement something like this using it.
I can run it using script control but I need an alterative method for 64-bit computer because i of the installer script that installs 64-bit components that only use the 64-bit version of scripting interface.
Even if its an idea with starter code i think i can build on that as long as you give me something to go on and explain your reasoning.Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.

View 4 RepliesSay I have a Framework 4.0 project that is referencing a class library targeting 3.5. The project will simply not build. It won't give me any valid error message it will just act as though the reference does not exist.
Projects that were working like this in Visual Studio 2008 are no longer working in 2010. Took me forever to figure out what there error is. If I remove the project reference and add it back the intellisense lights up and you can tell a variable referenced in the class library is found. But as soon as you build the project everything is lost. My using statements get underlined, references to the variable all turn grey and project fails to build saying the class cannot be found. Once I make the class library 4.0 as well everything builds. I get the same issue between 4.0 client profile and 4.0 as well.
I wonder if it is possible to find a specific row and specific columns in data base file (Access) . You see , I am using a DataGridView control to show only SOME of the columns (fields) of a table from an Access file . For example , lets say that in the DataGridView control I only show the following fields :Field1 , Field2 and Field3 .Now , when the user selects an entry in the DataGridView control , I want to insert the text from Field4 into a text box on the form .
The problem , however , is that I don't know how to get the specific row in the data base file and also I don't know how to get the text in column (field) Field4 of that row .One thing that might be important is that the index of the row in the data base file is not necessarily the same with the index of the current row in the DataGridView control . This is because in the DataGridView control the rows are order by the contents in the ID Field .ol .

View 5 RepliesSo im trying to get evything that has ends with .iso into a list box, tryed a couple of things but not getting anywhere as yeat
Here is code.
Dim Locate As String = Application.StartupPath & "\Games\"

The Locate String is there because thats the location where the iso files are but the application is in the root of the drive. The ListBox1 command is fairly easy to understand

So here's a example
[quote=randombla13] I am the king of the world bla bla

And note "[quote=randombla13]" the length after the = is Unknown it maybe of 6 characters or less or more
I was wondering how I would replace a specific character at a specific position.[code]...
View 7 RepliesStrange story... I downloaded VMWare but it has since advised of an available update. I downloaded the update and when I click to install it, a window comes up with VB Code from a project I created a while back in a completely separate folder from this install file. I then tried downloading the trial of VMWare Workstation and when running the installer it shows the same thing. I don't know of anyway to contact VMWare support since I don't pay for any services or products and all there is available is a FAQ type section. Of course this problem would not be in there, nor can I find any such related issue online. his is VMWare specific or perhaps the type of install specific. I have no other issues with any other app installations other than with VMWare installations.

I am getting ready to release a .NET 2003 application, and this application has a file type associated with it.During the installation I register the extension to be associated with my application, and everything is working fine.My question has to do with the icons. I want a specific icon for the exe, and also a specific icon for the files associated with my app.i want to have both icons in the exe file.I guess my question would be, how do i embed 2 different icons into an exe, so that if you selected that exe as an icon source, windows would see the different icons in it (as seperate icons)I know I can embed them as a resource, but windows only sees the main icon.To give you an example, of what I am trying to do, winamp, the mp3 player program, has several icons in its exe (see picture)(the visual studio IDE exe - devenv.exe - also has more than 1 icon in it)

I'm looking for in depth information about Visual Basic. For example, Scoping and binding behaviors, subprogram and package facilities, etc.
Edit:I'm looking for information such as: VB uses lexical or dynamic scoping; binding for X happens at compile time/load time/runtime and is static or dynamic. Basically a more in depth look at the characteristics of the language.

View 9 RepliesI am currently developing a small system to capture image/screen (likely Printscreen function).

I have several combo controls that need to be populated with a specific ID and name. I want the user to choose the name and have the ID in the background. Later when the data is exported from the database the specific ID's are exported and not the names.
I see that I can create the items in the combobox rather easily using their names. However, how can I associate the ID number for each of the items. Private Sub frmReceipts_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Add receipt types to combo box
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Monetary")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("Inkind")
cboReceipt.Items.Add("NSF")
End Sub
I thought it would be better to have a seperate table with the different receipt types and then somehow connect/link the contents of this new table to the combo box on this form. However, I am at a loss on how to do this.
actually i need to execute this query for a specific row can u tell me where i am making mistake.
