I did so by chosing "add existing file". For purposes to reproducing this let's say the file is in c:emp. So I added c: emphelp.chm.
I set the properties to "copy always" under the option "copy to output directory".
Then I compiled and it worked fine.
I then updated the file in c: emp with changes and compiled. I expected the updates would be copied into my program but they did not..
I recently built a program in VB 2010 that calls an image file from my hard drive. I have found that by deleting or moving the file causes the program to shut down.The code to call the image is as follows:
aTileSheet.LoadBitmap("C:Documents and Settingsimagefile.jpg", 32, 32)
I remember when I was working with C#, there was a way to add a file (such as a Jpeg) to the solution itself.While I can add a file with the "Add Existing Item" command, I am at a loss for how to use it from the solution. If there is some way to add an outside file so that it will be a part of the program after building it, or if this is even possible, I using s dynamicbitmap command (as found from this website ) to use the image. If this effects the results, let me know that too.

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.
I'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 am wondering if anyone else has experienced any issues with adding a data source to a VB.NET 2010 solution using the 'Add New Data Source' wizard. I am getting a very odd behavior when i add the data source, I see a .xsd file is added in my solution explorer but I do not get a data source listed in the data source view. In short, it will add a dataset to the project but will not add an entry in the project data sources. I realize I can code to get the same results but purely out of convenience I would much prefer to just use the wizard and the corresponding table adapters it generates as I always did.
By the way, a google search shows that many people had similar issues in the 2005 version but their issues involved trying to use special characters in the project path (i.e. 'C:My ProjectsR & DMy Tool. I do not use any special characters in my project paths and yet am still experiencing this issue.
I have just implemented an Ajax File Upload control that uses a progress bar. I am a little confused. When i use the control on pages that dont use sessions, the progress bar with no problems will show the user the actual progress of the file being uploaded from 0%,1%,2%,3%.......% to 100%. Now when i move this control onto a web page that uses a session, this session stores the user information such as screenname, email, etc... the file uploads with no problems but the problem is that the progress bar does allow the user to see the progress until the file is finised uploading and the progress bar jumps straight from 0% to 100% uploaded and doenst really show the full progress of the file whilst being uploaded.
Why is this behaviour occuring when i use sessions? where the progress of the file being uploaded isn't being shown to the user until the file uploads.
I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.
View 8 RepliesI'm attempting to load an xml document from an XML column in MSSQL 2008, into an XmlDocument (see code below).
Sometimes the code will break at the xdoc.Load(xr) line with the error "Unexpected end of file and occurred". After breaking, the XmlReader has a value of "None".
While researching the problem, I saw posts that referred to a 4Kb limit on StreamReaders and figured this may be related somehow. So I cut down the size of my document (to around 4Kb) and everything worked fine.
On average, the XML documents I'm importing from the database are 20Kb.
how to get a 'large' amounts of XML from the database into my XmlDocument?
Dim xr As XmlReader = ExportAdapter.GetEditedCheckXML(chkId)
Dim xdoc As New XmlDocument
xdoc.Load(xr)

I've two Strings which I'm loading from a SQL Server 2008 database (nvarchar-field)After loading them from the database Visual Studio 2010 displays them as follows in the watch window:
str1 = "Test"
str2 = "Test"
But the comparison with str1 = str2 returns False If I write those strings to a file with UTF8 Encoding the result is as expected:
Test
Test
If I write those strings to a file with ANSI (Default) Encoding the result is NOT as expected:
?Test
Test
Converting the strings to bytes:
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(str1) 'Returns ByteArray {63, 84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(str2) 'Returns ByteArray {84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str1) 'Returns ByteArray {239, 187, 191, 84, 101, 115, 116}
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str2) 'Returns ByteArray {84, 101, 115, 116}
Where is the Byte 63 in case of ANSI Encoding OR Bytes 239, 187, 191 in case of UTF8 Encoding for str1 coming from?Well, Bytes 239, 187, 191 are the BOM for UTF8. The question here would more likely be: Why do I get the BOM for str1 but not for str2?(Well, the values are values passed to a webservice which inserts them into the database, the initial values are passed to this webservice by a client I've no control over)
I am reading a large number of XML files and do not want my program to bomb on exceptions. I am making great strides in reporting the errors, skipping the offending files and continuing the import process. However I am having problems with XmlExceptions. I get the following XmlException on the While textReader.Read() line of my program:
Quote:
XmlException was unhandled
Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed:
my:PicInsert, my:PictureGroup, my:myFields. Line 153, position 430817.
I am finding some of the reasons why, missing tags etc, but those aren't really my concern. I just want to report the issue and continue. I am thinking about some kind of check for a valid xml file but fear that that might not catch it all. For example I had a image tag in one of the files that was missing an alt="" attribute and I am not sure if that would invalidate the entire XML file.What would be the best way to trap and deal with the exception with out causing interuption to the program?
I am trying to parse incoming data from a serial port that appears to be XML format but an exception is thrown when I switch from a simulated setup to the real deal.My program runs great in a simulated setup but when I try it out on the real device I get: XmlException was unhandled Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: li840 line 1, position 9.The li840 tag is my root tag and the position never seems to get past 40. I've tried using a try catch block but in my in both my simulated and real setups my values are blank but the program will run without exceptions. Should I take my received data and put it into a file and then read from the file? or is there something else I can do to make this work properly? [code]
View 12 RepliesPretty much the only thing I have changed is created a loop because I have one xmlstring and want to break it up and create tif files from it(which it actually does do).My problem is this: readbytes inside the while loop throws an exception at the last time through the loop that says I have an "unexpected end of file; the following elements are not closed" and lists them
[code]...
So there are tags left open after the readtofollowing("image"). I tried catching the exception to no avail, tried to read until eof, no avail. I dont really need elements to be closed, I just need to continue because I created files using whats in the image tag.EDIT: I think my xmlstring is going to have times where it will be too big to do a parse without slowing down too much.../parsing binary data?
It is saved on my desktop for easy access.I can close the program. I can click the solution to open it right back up, no problems.I then zip my file (also to the desktop)
My problem: I moved the original file (Project A) to another folder and extracted the unzipped Project A onto the desktop. When I open the new Project A's solution file, nothing happens besides VB starting up. It doesn't show me anything.
I have been trying to open a solution file downloaded from my class for the past two days. When I open the assignment file on my destop to access the solution file, it's not there. I have the variables design, obj, bin, and others but not the .sln file which is the one that I need. How can I fix that problem?
View 2 Repliesi have this project in TFS, and someone else from another computer changed the solution file's name. Now when i try to open it, i cant. It gives ne this error -"This project (xxx.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I dont have a local copy cause i deleted it. Reason being i wanted to get eveything new from the server. How can i open this project now?
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 1 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).

View 3 RepliesIn my VB.NET project I have three configurations DEBUG|TEST|RELEASE.
Currently when I am building using MSbuild and TeamCity I hard code the configuration, which smells badly!, to TEST
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Test</Configuration>
Now before everyone screams at me not to hardcode this, the reason this was done was becuase we could NEVER seem to get $(Configuration) populated.
So my question is within MSBuild how can I read the currently selected configuration from the solution file commited to SVN?
I 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 1 RepliesI have a solution that contains a WCF service project. In Solution Explorer only the MyService.svc file is shown, but on double clicking it the MyService.svc.vb file opens for editing. That is OK, but Visual HG (based on Mercurial) now doesn't show that the MyService.svc.vb file has changed and I cannot commit any changes without browsing to the Tortoise HG workbench. This is a possible cause for errors when merging code. So, how do I make the MyService.svc.vb file appear in Solution Explorer?
EDIT: The problem seems to be limited to VB WCF projects. In C# there is an arrow before the .svc file that will show the svc.cs file when clicked. Bug?
I did not do anything at all but I just noticed that my 2005 solution files are defaulted to 2003 so I used "Open With" and ticked the "Always use this program..." and selected the 2005 even and it is now being opened with 2005 but somehow the icon still shows the 2003 icon, why is this and is there anything I can do to revert it back to the 2005 icon?
The only thing I did was to download and install the latest BOL of SQL Server 2000 which I am not sure if it affected any setting for VS. EDIT: "Restore File Association" did not do the trick.
I need to read a Visual Studio Solution file (.SLN files) to figure out which projects belong to this solution.By opening a SLN file in notepad, one can see that the projects are stored like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "RadioGadget", "RadioGadgetRadioGadget.csproj", "{AE664C6C-000B-44D9-BAD8-0200D6ABE90D}"
[code].....
excluding the ... part obviously (which is just some guid I don't care about). Then I need it to match the rest too, and more importantly, I only need it to return the filename that I've underlined in the example. When I simply use 'm.Value' as I am now I think I will get the entire matched string back, right? That gets me nowhere as I'd still need to parse the filename out of that manually... Bit pointless to use regex then...

I have an application which was developed in vs2005 with numerous forms which use the combobox for selecting from lists of items. The usual setup is as follows:
Combo.Datsource = BusinessObject
Combo.DropdownStyle = DropDownList
Combo.AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
Combo.AutoCompleteSource = ListItems
However, compiled under vs2005 when tabbing to a combo and typing a number of characters the combo would highlight the first matching item and on pressing tab, would select it and the user would move to next field.
With vs2008 the same item might be highlighted but pressing tab doesn't select the item unless its the only item matching the first character. The only way of selecting the item highlighted from the suggestappend is to press enter prior to the tab key.
I also noticed some users experiencing the same behaviour when the app was compiled with vs2005 on some PC's but not others as if it had something to do with the PC config.
Has anyone any ideas how to get around this as it can lead to errors in data capture.
Kind regards.
