I created a visual basic express edition project and when completed pressed Save All. Then proceded to work on another version and saved that one as well, Now the project cannot find the original version which is the only working one. I have all of the projects backec up but they will not load. Where do I have to move the files so Visual basic can find them?

Stop files from being moved to the wrong directory
View 3 RepliesWhy are my new (moved to) text files deleting after the move?
If TextBox1.Text = "* DISPLAY SCROLL 10 *" Then
Dim D10A As StreamReader = File.OpenText("LINE 3 UNITS.txt")
D10A.Close()
[code]....
the file "line 3 units.txt" contains 3 choices. what I need to do is write one of these selections to the new file "line 3 units new.txt" then recognize the contents of this file to control a boolean statement.
Dim W As String = (D10B)
If W.ToLower.Contains("load") Then
LIN3LD = True
[code]....
I end up with 2 known problems.
1) The new text files delete
2) if the file doesn't delete (for whatever reason) the CONTAIN statement doesn't recognize either "load" or "speed"

The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.
I have made a class library for visual basic, now I have a dll. How can I now load the dll into other projects?

View 6 RepliesI have several forms that are "reused," or vistited more than once per each time in the whole program. In VB6, using Form.Show() would show the form in its original state (the state is was when created in the designer). After closing this form (Unload Me), showing it again would still show the form in its original state.
I am coding in VB.NET 2008, and noticed that when I reopen a form I had closed during a session using my program, the form is in the state it was when I closed it (labels and listboxes filled with data), and not in its original state. I currently have the Form.Closing event filled with code to clear all of the controls, but I think that there must be a better way to "clear" or "reset" the form.
I have two forms, forms a and b. Each form has a combo box. The user selects an item from form A's combo box and saves their selection to a database by pressing a button. How can I display their combo box selection from form A in form B's combo box on form B's form_load event?
View 1 RepliesBasically what I want to do is create a program with a simple interface where you select one or more directories, and it'll look for files that are in the directory that aren't currently in a folder, and make a folder to house the file in, with the same name as the file. But if they're already in a folder, I want the program to ignore them.Videos folder, there's 3 videos that aren't currently in a folder, 1 that is.Video A, Video B, and Video C.I want 3 folders to be created, and I want each file moved into the corresponding folder.I want the Video D folder/file ignored.I know how to do this in DOS but I'm having trouble translating it to VB.In DOS you would navigate to the directory and enter:FOR %i IN (*.*) DO (IF NOT EXIST "%~ni" MD "%~ni") & (MOVE "%i" "%~ni").I have no clue as to where to start.

View 2 RepliesPretending I have a class that inherits off Control, how would I handle the parent form's Resize and Move events within the control? I have a painting glitch that happens when the form is resized or moved. Right now in the form I just have:
vb.net Private Sub frmMain_ResizeMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles Me.Resize, Me.Move Me.Refresh()End Sub
But this can't be the proper way to do it, considering Refresh() invalidates all children (will be slow and flashing if the form has lots of controls). I want to basically do the above code inside the control.
Edit:This is the glitch after a resize of the parent form:
And this is what the button is supposed to look like:
Also, I experience this issue if something like a message box is dragged over top of it. How can I remedy these issues by forcing a repaint?
I got two projects. GUI/Console and I want to have them in the same project directory with two different projects so:
C:Project1GUI.VBPROJ
C:Project1Console.VBPROJ
The problem is simple: It will overwrite the My Project directory, how to change this?
I am working on a solution that contains 2 projects one to be built as an exe and the other as a service. Both projects will share a class for certian functions and properties. I would like to have both projects use the same physical file so when I make a change in one of the projects it is also made in the other.
This was simple to do in VB6 but as of yet I see no way to do it under dot net. It seems to want to make a copy of the file and place it into the project folder for the second project resulting in the need to either copy after every change or manually make the changes twice.
Anyone know if there is a way to have common files area for a solution so that any project within the solution has access to the actual file rather than a copy of it?
I have a vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed.This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application.Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict.

View 5 RepliesI have some assemblies that were developed using .NET 1.1. These are business layer assemblies that are required for other .NET 1.1 applications to work. I have been developing our new applications using .NET 2.0/3.5. I would just convert the business layer projects over to 2.0 and be done with it, but those old 1.1 applications just won't die.As such, has anyone ever had two different .vbproj files (one a .NET 1.1 project file and the other a .NET 2.0/3.5 project file) that pointed to the same set of files so they could be compiled appropriately?
View 2 RepliesWhen a project is built in VB, the executable file is created in the \bin\Release folder. Apart from the executable there are other files that get created:
MyProject.application
MyProject.exe.manifest
MyProject.pdb

Are these files required to run the executable? Is having just the MyProject.exe file in the setup enough? And what are these files for?

View 3 RepliesNote: This question is similar to How to prevent the copy of XML documentation files in a release mode build?, but it's not the same and the answers there don't apply. Read on to find out why. (Please ask in the comments or in chat if you disagree, I'll be glad to elabroate).
I have a library project (myLibrary) and an ASP.NET web application project referencing this library (both are in the same solution). "Generate XML documentation file" is checked for the library project, because I want to have those nice IntelliSense features while developing.
When I publish the web application (Context Menu on the project/Publish...), it copies only the files required for running the application (no source code, etc.) to some publish directory. That's good. Unfortunately, it also copies the XML documentation file of the library. Since I consider our library's documentation to be a trade secret, I wouldn't want it to end up on a customer's server. Thus, we have to remember to manually remove this file from the publish directory before deploying it.
Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from copying this file when publishing the ASP.NET project, but still retain the benefit of XML documentation IntelliSense when developing?
