Using Save All Option Without Quitting Out Of VS
Nov 11, 2008
I only just now realized that the project does not update when it saves until you quit out of Visual Studio. As such I now have 7 backups that are exactly the same, including the main file. I would have lost hours of work if not for finding a copy that somehow had all of my work saved to it. It was named the same thing as four other projects, though, with the other three being the same work from hours ago. Where is this temporary project? I cannot find it on my computer, and I'm afraid of losing all that work. Also, is there a way to do a Save All, and then something like "Save the whole project as" without quitting out of Visual Studio, looking through folders, finding the actual project folder, and copy pasting that? In other words, is there a way to do that in Visual Studio itself?

I am writing a text editor program and I have written the new, open, save as, exit menu items but I am struggling with writing the save option.Now I have created the menu itself (well vb did, I just used insert standard items) but how do I code up the save menu option so that it updates the current document or if the documnt has not yet been saved bring up the save file dialog.Here is the code I have so far
Public Class Main
Private Sub NewToolStripButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripButton.Click, NewToolStripMenuItem.Click[code]....
I know I have some finishing touches such as messages and error handling and stuff but at the moment I want to get all the basics working,I think the save menu option is all I am struggling with at the moment.

I have researched the net, youtube, and the msdn DB, and still can not find the working answer I am looking for. I would like someone to show me how you would save the contents of "Listbox1" to a .txt file using the "Save As" Option. I know how to hardcode a savepoint in, but since there will be multiple users I would like the option to be up to the end-user.

I am trying to save a file and I want to limit the user to a couple options being *.txt and I want to make the default *.txt. The code works to save the file, but I don't see the "save as type" option as having any choices and the default .txt extension is not in the file name field.
Private Sub SaveFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles SaveFileDialog1.FileOk
'Write the converted string to the file
Dim FileToSaveAs As String = SaveFileDialog1.FileName
Dim FileWriter As New StreamWriter(FileToSaveAs)

I have a form with multiple checkboxes what I would like to do is to have it that if someone selects any combination of the checkboxes they could save those selections by pressing a button named save options or something to that affect it would then save those selections then they could load them by pressing another button load options and run them with another button named run options (or the box that loads could run too) not sure the best way to do it the goal is ultimately to have a button that allows the state of the checkboxes to be saved and then run as a custom option.
how would I do this I cannot find anything on the Internet ?

I have written an MDI text editor, its almost complete, but I cant get the save as menu option to work correctly.
HTML
'This sub routine controls the save as menu option
Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles[code].......
So whats happening is that it opens the dialog ok, saves the document to my chosen location correctly, but opens a new document and gives the new document my chosen file name and leaves my saved document with the file name New Document.But when I close all the open screens and then re-open my saved document its all as it should be.

Private Sub SaveToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim f As Form2
[Code]....
Now if I take out the ( I get yet another error which states
"Argument not specified for perameter "File" of public sub WriteAllText(File as string, text as string, append as boolean)
All I want is when the user clicks the save menu item the document either saves the changes made to the current document or the save as routine is involked.

I am trying to create a wpf program that allows the user to create custom shapes or pick premade shapes and that after making their selection, a canvas shows their shapes randomly sized, positioned, colored and copied in multiples. I am hoping that on click, the program will put its output on a time interval and that the user can click stop when they are satisfied with how everything looks. My issue is, I would like to also give the user an option to save their created artwork as a jpeg file. Also if I wanted to link this file to a web browser what will I have to do?

I'm still learning Visual Basic and I'm creating a web browser with basic tab and new window support. My problem is that if new windows are created if the original form window is closed, both windows are closed and the program is quitted. This is to be expected but like any browser the program quits based on the last remaining window open. How would I do this in Visual Basic?

I'm trying to save an excel file:
vb.net
xlWBook.SaveAs("J:DOWNLOADS.xls")
xlWBook.Close()
xlApp.Quit()
If the file already exists excel will open an message box and ask if you want to overwrite. If I click yes, it works. If I click no or cancel, I get an error:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
How can I tell what button the user clicked?

I am using visual studio to create an application that opens an excel file and then for each entry in the first column the entry in the second column is stored in an array. Then excel opens two other workbooks and for each entry in the first column it searches for a match in these other two workbooks and stores the corresponding value in an array.
Anyway, the problem is closing excel afterwards. I have used the thread: [URL] to work through the basics of cleaning up. I used the cleanup code provided and added the WithEvents caveat. I do not have strict option on.
I believe the problem is the fact that I have three workbooks open.
This is my cleanup code: (wrkbk, wrkbk2, wrkbk3 are the workbooks; datasheet, datasheet2, datasheet 3 are the worksheets; excel is the application)
Code:
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
GC.Collect()
[Code]....
I got the impression that order was important in the cleanup procedure so I have tried some variations of moving the workbooks and worksheets around.

I really like the coding speed that vb.net provides, but I don't like the possibility to forget to declare variable types, return types of functions, etc. and that is why in each class I use[code]..
Is there a way to define those two options on the project/solution level?

the combo box style 1 has both the drop down option but also a manual entry option. I need to know how to code it so that when you manually enter data, it takes that data and places it in a text message "The shipping charges for "data" is $15" displaying in a text box. Shouldn't be hard but have developed a mind block.

I want to encapsulate the use of Excel Interop to make it easier to use somehow in a reuseable library.So far, I have written some tests that work good altogether, except that between each test, I force Excel to quite so that it does have handle on the test file no more in order to be able to delete.Once I quit the application instance between after each of my tests, Excel seems to be no longer responding, causing Windows to display "Excel has stopped working and is looking for a solution"
message. This message lasts a few seconds, meanwhile Excel is closing, causing the hang on the file to occur and my tests to throw an exception like "Cannot access file because it is being used by another process..."

I did a web search already at some sites including Microsoft, but I have not found a soultion yet.Problem: CANNOT OPEN VISUAL BASIC 6.0; Says "Unexpected error; quitting"Machine/Software: OS: XP Media Center (although system info says XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack2 Build 2600)PC: Acer AspireE36SW:Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition
History:1. Could not open visual basic 6.0. I got the an error that the DAO350.DLL could not be found.
2.

When I tried to open the visual basic 6.0 now I get:"Unexpected error; quitting" message.
I even loaded the component checker 2.0 as suggest via microsoft website to look up the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). (see Article ID: 304230 and 301202 on [URL]..It says MDAC 2.8 SP1 ON WINDOWS XP SP2. I am not sure what this MDAC does for me, but I looked at it anyways.

1. I have read that keeping Option strict on and Option infer off is good practice and will insure your code is tight and properly written. I would like input regarding this, pro's and con's from those who are in the know.
2. Having said that, I have set Option strict on and Option infer off in an existing program I wrote (that was working perfectly mind you) with them off and on respectively. I went through and cleaned up all the errors on the 'need AS' and casting of variables, but one is leaving me a bit put out.[code]
I have also read where using My.Computer.System.Directory.GetFiles() instead of System.IO.Directory.GetFiles() is probably not a good thing, but when I change to this I get no error, but also no dataI am thinking I should stay with the strict on and infer off but am really slogging through getting this code correct.Running Win7 on Dual Quad Core XEON Intel Extreme with 8Gb RAM.

Using VS2008, targetting framework 3.5, trying to update some VB4 code. Yes, VB4.I have a bunch of legacy code I'm trying to update, and I had the idea of trying to work through it by executing the old code, working out what was causing each error as I came to it, solving the problem, and then moving on.In order to do this, I have sinned and set Option Strict Off, Option Explicit Off and Option Infer On.Yes, I'm going to hell for this.Problem is, I'm still getthing errors that various things haven't been declared.All of these the items showing errors are in the form: itemName(obj)Is my problem that the compiler thinks that these are method calls for methods which haven't been declared?PS: For anyone wanting to tell me not to use these settings, I already know

I have to take over a project written in vb.net, which contains more than 400k lines of code written in option strict off mode. I want to build it under option strict on first before I do anything else -- which maybe converting it into C#. I found there's thousands of lines of code raises compilation error, mostly are about implicit type casts. Is there any tool would help to make it compile under option strict on mode if I don't want to correct every single line manually? Because it's really painful to add CStr/CInt invocation into every line of Code myself.

I have inherited a VB.NET application that I need to compile so I can run dorkumentation on it. I first received "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversion from x to y" errors, so I turned off the Option Strict option in the Project file.
So why do I still fail with the same error message?
