Turn Off Windows 7 X64 Ultimate Error Catching Or Activate Developer Mode?
Nov 4, 2010
I've been whining for several months about the way Windows 7 prevents application exceptions from actually occurring, and arbitrarily assigns "compatibility settings" without actually detailing what those settings are, even during Visual Studio Debugging operations. Am I just completely ignorant to some setting I can toggle to turn all that garbage off and make Win7 act like an operating system that wasn't designed for a 2 year old? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario,

I'm wondering if there is any code that I could use in VB.net so it can determine the computer's startup mode (such as safe mode or safe mode with networking).

I recently purchased a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic installed and installed my Visual Basic 2008 Express and Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step and have run into at least 2 different problems I know of. One is I can not view the videos from my Bob Tabor subscription and two I do not see the fonts the Step by Step book refers me to access in some of the practices.

I have been using the VB IDE for many months on a VB6 translation to vb.net 2010. I have had no troubles building and running in debug,until the message below just appeared. This now prevents me from running in debug. I have not used Publish in the Build menu or used ClickOnce. The Project - application page has "enable XP visual styles" checked. I do not want this unchecked, which will remove the error message below.
The error message is:
Error 2 Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=*, PublicKeyToken=6595b

My application i am using on another computer (Windows Vista) has got a screenshot code inside a timer of 10 seconds. It works perfectly until the user Locks Windows.
When the user locks windows or switches user then the application throws a hissy fit and errors because it cannot take screenshot pictures.
Is there a way i can tell if the computer has been locked and the been unlocked
This way i can have a timer of 1 second and if the computer has been locked then the timer for the screenshots can been stopped , and then when the user logs back in the timer can restart.

I have 5 errors that come up every time I run my project They are all "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll"
I have try catch blocks around every piece of code I have written, and it does not seem to catch them, so I opted to catch the appdomain.UnHandledException.
That does not seem to catch them either If I step through the code line by line (several hundred lines so I hold down f8) it does not make the error...
Only when I run full speed.
I can only figure that I am accessing something maybe before an object is completely drawn, however how in the heck would anyone suggest I go about finding it, and why will my global event handler not catch them?

I am using BackgroundWorker to connect asynchronously to a database. Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code]...
While my connection is being opened, I have a "Loading" animation show in a lblCalibration. Once it's connected, the animation stops successfully and shows the calibrated record that I am fetching from my db.
However, if there is an error while connecting to my db for any reason, it does not work. My app freezes. The reason is because I am trying to make a cross-thread call while trying to Catch the error in the DoWork event.[URL]..
but still cannot seem to make any progress. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to properly catch the error and still run BackgroundWorker?

I run a program multiplying decimals with integers. If a user enters a non 0 number etc. the try catch works its charm. i added some lines to clear the text boxes and that works fine but
lblReva.text = ""
does not clear the labels where the answers are displayed, on the contrary it displays the correct value calculated and enters a 0 for the erroneous entry. I would like to clear all the labels and text boxes(except the instruction and assingment labels)so the form is clean once more so the user can try to be "more on" target next time.
Try
decReva = CDec(txtBoxa.Text)
decRevb = CDec(txtBoxb.Text)
[code]....
Not integers but constants declared as decimals but that is immaterial here. "Doh"

I'm trying to improve my app with some error catching. I have a module that downloads a file from the Internet to a local folder. At the moment, if the local folder doesn't exist, it just crashes here:
strLocalFile = New FileStream(pPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)
with error:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not find a part of the path 'C:Documents and SettingsSimonDesktop estdownload.zip'."
Source="mscorlib"
How can I do something with that error and stop my app from crashing? Ideally, have a messagebox show saying 'directory not found' or similar.

I'm developing a program where I've had to add a keyboard shortcuts system. The problem is it uses a third party OCX for a part of its display, and it is catching some essential WM_KEYDOWN messages when in focus, like Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc. I've tried catching the WM_KEYDOWN message through WndProc, but the message is not propagating, so I guess the keyboard messages go from the inner container to the outer one, don't they?
The WM_KEYUP messages can be caught tho, but I'd prefer to be able to catch some of those messages on the KeyDown event. I'm aware I could make some low-level hook, but I'd like to avoid this workaround. Well, if the WM_KEYDOWN message goes from the OCX to its top level container, I guess I'll have to treat those key combinations in the KeyUp event.

I'm editing some settings in the registry and then adding items to a ListView.
[Code]...
If I'm not mistaken, the code will not continue in the Try block if the first part fails and then move on to the catch statement, correct? I'm adding and deleting a bunch of different entries in the registry and the computers I've tried my app on so far, have not failed. So I'm not able to test if this method will work for error catching. If there's a better method, I'd appreciate the info.

I have used the code from the link below to create a basic login page in front of the Microsoft Live Single Sing On.[url] I managed to combine the two together(LiveSSO w/Forms Authentication) turning off the Integrated Authentication in IIS from the SSO setup.All works as expected if the user successfully authenticates with AD. THE PROBLEM that I am having is that when the user failes to authenticate it only returns: "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". This message appears also when the user is set to change the password at next logon. What I want it to do is to read the error code of exactly why it failed so I can setup a redirect to a password reset page (i.e. if error is "User flag is set to change pswd" etc.etc.)From the page linked above you can see the VB code of LdapAuthentication.vb which does the trick of authenticating the accounts or returning the error message if the login fails. The part that returns the "Error authenticating user. Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." Is handled by this subroutine:
[code]...
That's what I have been trying to customize to see how it can return a specific code based on the user account AD flags, instead of the generic message

I'm using VB .Net 2008. I have been experiencing a wierd problem with my FileSystemWatcher that I haven't been able to resolve for the past few days. The watcher only catches the first event. The watcher is enabled via EnableRaisingEvents. I'm not sure why it quits. I was getting an ContextSwitchDeadlock error, so I placed <MTAThread> before the sub to switch to multiple threading. The errors stopped, but the FileSystemWatcher doesn't activate after the first event. Has anyone experienced this before? How do I fix this? [Code]

Right now I can add background music in my program by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Music_3, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I can also turn it off and change the music by using this code
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.Another_Music, AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
Is it possible to pause the music then if I resume the music it will just continue the flow? I mean if I pause the background music in 33 seconds and the music has 50 seconds and I resume it will just continue playing in 33,34,35 etc.. seconds?
