View 1 RepliesWhen using Nero Recode I get a error message shortly into the program saying:
"An unhandled win32 exception occured in Recode.exe [5580]. Just-in-time debugging this exception failed with the following error: No installed debugger has Just-in-time debugging enabled. In Vision Studio, Just-in-time debugging can be enabled from Tools/options/Debugging/Just-in-time"
As far as i can see it is enabled but I still i get this error message.
I have a class in VB.NET that has a method (called CurrentValue) that returns a number. There is also an event that the class raises to indicate the number has changed. In the event handler on my form, I update a textbox using the exposed method.[code]When I run this I get a "Debugger.Runtime.CrossThreadMessagingException" error. What could be doing this? I am instantiating MyClass in the same form that contains the textbox.I can also set properties of the MyClass object without any trouble.

View 5 Repliesinstead of all listed in the registry key, "Microsoft Digital Image Library 9" doesn't even show in installed programs list. [Code]
View 2 RepliesI'd like to mention that getting a list of the installed programs via the registry is not a viable way to receive a full an accurate list. The two main areas where the programs in the registry are stored, are mainly MS programs. Some manufacturers put their keys here as well, but most don't. And since it's impossible to know where the manufacturer has stored the key, let alone the name of the key that would give the list and the uninstall capability, it's not ideal to use the registry.
That being said, I was told that there is a COM API that Microsoft has made and uses in the Windows OS and was hoping someone knew what that API is and how to maybe implement it in VB.
I'm trying to find a way to get all of the programs that are installed by accessing the information from the registry. I googled it and was able to find the following code
Private Function Getinstalledsoftware() As String
'Declare the string to hold the list:
Dim Software As String = Nothing
[code].....
I know that all installed programs and updates can be found at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall key in the registry.
But how can I differentiate between installed programs and installed updates?

What I don't understand is when I run the code, I get a NullReferenceException was Handled on this line:

I haven't been able to find much on the error. It seems like it is a pretty generic one and can fit into a lot of different scenarios.
I want to view all installed programs in a listview. and 2 buttons ''refresh'' & ''delete''
View 2 Repliesi want to make a simple program where i can add/edit or delete a shortcut from an installed programs in my computer.
let say c:program filesmicrosoft officeoffice11winword.exe.
the purpose of this is i want some of my selected programs to be in a single window where i can click to open so i don't need to go to start then programs and open that specific program.
i want to run that program in startup so everytime i start my computer the shell or the program is already running and i could click the program that i want on that window.
I can find out myself how to add a button to the Explorer context menu, but my main question is: How do programs receive commands at runtime? And can you do it in VB. NET? Oh, and no, I don't have any code because I have no idea where to start. So, I guess first I need to make my program a single-instance-application?
View 2 RepliesI have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?
I'm in a VB.NET application. I have referenced some java.* namespaces in my file and am utilizing objects and methods from this namespace throughout the code. Presumably this is relying upon J# to compile.
Imports java.util
Imports java.util.zip
Imports java.io
Are these JDK namespaces fully contained in the .NET framework, or will my clients need to have Java installed when they go to run my application?As a side note, I have not explicity referenced any external Java DLL's or anything. This is all pure .NET as far as my code is concerned.
I have designed and published my small created app with WINDOWS FORMS using VB 2010 EXP on Windows 7. I can only install the app on the machine that I used to develop the app.I want to install the app on another computer but I cannot. I usually have error reports.
Example:Unable to install or run this application. This application requires Microsoft Common Language Runtime 4.0.3 to be installed on your computer.
what can I do to be able to install the app on a different computer which does not have .Net and does not have visual basic 2010 installed.
I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).
View 4 RepliesI started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
View 1 RepliesWhen you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
I have been trying for days now how to create a process to the user to easily create a connection to any installed data types they have installed. I have found an example right inside vb2008. I never use this because I code my own connections, but this would be real nice if I could include it or duplicate it.
View 1 RepliesWhen a custom class overrides the ToString() method, the C# IDE uses this function to display the class in the debug mode(tooltips, watcher etc) Does the VB.NET the same? I have impression that overriding ToString() method does change nothing. I mean, in the watcher I see Name myBusinessObjectInsnace Value {MyNamespace.myBusinessObjectInsnaceType}
View 4 RepliesI want to know how can use the just in time debugger?
View 5 Replieswhere the VS debugger refuses to show certain field types including dates.My call stack contains FunctionA which calls FunctionB. FunctionB has about 45 parameters and many of them are dates.When I step into functionA,
1. the debugger refuses to show a date variable when you hold the mouse over it. It just shows {Date} instead of a value
2. If you do quick watch on that same variable, it also just shows {Date} instead of a value
3. If I do ?variablename in the immediate window, I get "System Error &H80131c23&"
When I comment out the call to functionB, the date variables all show correctly in all the above methods. I will stress that the code has not yet reached functionB, just its very existence in code screws up the debugger.I'm thinking this is a memory issue and maybe vs debugger can't cope with a huge function stack frame dataspace.devenv is only using 268Meg of ram on a 2Meg box, with not much else running. Thats reasonable for this size of project.
I've been given an old VB.net 1.1, Visual Studio 2003, project.When debugging DateTime shows as #09:34:00 AM#, the date-part is hidden. I would like to see which date the DateTime is.I've tried to modify mcee_cs.dat, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

View 8 RepliesWe are designing a toolbar to be used in PowerShape that was originally written in VB6. We are beginning the conversion to VB.net and for some reason, when we size the new form that is the actual toolbar, we can see the size change in Design Mode but when we run the debugger it does NOT show the newly sized form. We managed to get the Width to update after clearing the Debug and Release directories but not the Height... And even then it only works once then we have to go back in and clear the directories again in order for the width to update.
View 1 RepliesAm experiencing a confusing situation where the debugging seems to skip arbitrary sections of code (including breakpoints) and then breaks on non-breakpointed lines. The call stack reports [External Code] even though its not external code
