Using VB Express To Run An Exe Or Bat File?
Apr 21, 2011
What I am trying to do is make a front-end application for the mugen 2d fighting game engine that uses command line arguments.Right now I am just trying to make a button that will run the mugen.exe file.So first I tried his;System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:UsersMaryDownloadsmugen100mugen1mugen.exe")Mugen gives me an error that says it can't load data/Mugen.cfg. Data is a folder in the mugen1 directory. If I run mugen by clicking it or even with the command line it runs fine.So I tried making a bat file for it and run that instead. ystem.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:UsersMaryDownloadsmugen100mugen1mugenbat.bat")If I click on the bat file, no problem at all, when I run this button I get 'This appilaction has fail to start because side-by-side configuration is incorrect

I have a program that can save to a .txt file.The issue is I need it to be done in a tab delimited way.Basically:
TextHere<Tab>TextHere<Tab>TextHere<NextLine>
TextHere<Tab>TextHere<Tab>TextHere<NextLine>
I have this so far, but all it does is put the TextBox1.Text next to TextBox2.Text
Code:
SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
Dim FileWriter As StreamWriter
Dim results As DialogResult

I am creating a shell for a FORTRAN application which reads a tab delimited text file.Because I am using Excel to manipulate data, is it possible to use the Excel Automation features to "save as" a tab delimited text file?The only method available seems to be a unicode text format, which does not work. Or is there another format that mimics tab delimited so that the FORTRAN application will read such a file without difficulty?

I'm new to Visual Basic. I'm trying to get this code to read a .txt file line by line. If the only thing that the line says is "B" it should add one to the intTotalBoys integer and so on with G for Girls, F for Fathers, and M for Mothers. I'm not sure why it won't work. [code]

I'm trying to use the demo that is on the devexpress website to build a folder structure that people can upload files to and manage within a web interface.
[URL]
I have got the control to work, however, when I upload a file to via the web interface, the control doesn't stream the whole file up to the server, but just creates a new file but with no content. Is there something that I can do to create the file.I didn't have access to the FileManagerHelper Class, but googled around and found on on the devexpress forum.Is there an updated version of this file?

I have a bit of a problem. I'm new to using SQL Server Express in applications, and I'm a bit confused at how it all works.I have embedded an MDF file into my application. It works fine in development, but my application cannot find the database once installed on another machine.Where does the MDF file end up once installed? I was looking in the current directory of the exe file using the following connection string:
String.Format("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename={0}\ScannedFiles.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True", Environment.CurrentDirectory)

I created a SQL Compact Edition .sdf file in VB 2010 Express. I set the first column in the table as a Primary Key. But can I make use of it or am I limited to scrolling all the way through the file until I find the match I want? I managed to use a primary key with a SQL server .mdf file using the FindBy statement, though as a beginner, didn't really understand what I was doing so resorted to the more simple sdf file format to get me started. Goodness me there's so much to learn about data handling, it took me days to find out I didn't need a .Net provider in the connection string for Compact Edition.

This seems really dumb but I go to this site - [URL] and click on the link for Visual Basic 2010 Express, select English as the language and I get the file vb_web.exe. The file installs Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. All of the tools in it seem to be for web development only.Where is vb express 2010 download for creating Windows forms, console apps etc.? (or am I missing something "basic" -- sorry about that -- regarding how the 2010 version works?

Is there a limitation to the size of program that you can create in VB 2010 express? I ask because I am writing a program that asks a user for input, then checks that input to a list of possibilities in case statements.My code is a little over 5000 lines.

I have a VB 2010 Express application that uses a .mdb and a .xml file. Both files are part of the project. I am pulling my hair out to try to figure out how to make sure that these two files are deployed with the application. So far, I have only been running in Debug mode, so I'm focused on making that work.
When I click on the Application Files button on the Publish Tab of My Project, both the mdb and xml files are visible. I have tried setting both files to Data and Include. In either case, the mdb file is copied to the bin directory when I try debugging my application. However, the xml file is not copied no matter which option I select.
How can I get the xml file to be copied into the bin directory like the mdb file?

I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.

I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

Is VB Express 2010 slower to compile and run that older versions of VB Express? I've installed it this weekend and it seems a little sluggish on my quad core computer with 1 gig of RAM. I have VB Express 2005 installed for my students at school and it seems to fly just fine. Those school computers are older P4s with 512k of RAM.
