Everything works OK with my VB program except, all of a sudden now, whenever I attempt to brush across a text string with the cursor intending to hilite the string I get an error message saying "Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express has encountered a problem and needs to close."Where-upon VB shuts down and restarts.

View 5 RepliesI have a program that will round any numbers I give it regardless of the data type I set (I've tried double and decimal) before it saves into the DB. I'm using MS access for the DB and I've set the data types in access to Numeric Double, Numeric Decimal, and Currency and all with decimal places set to 4 -- all to no avail.
What I do know:
1) The textboxes on the form accept the number value as I enter it and after I hit save the value displayed is the same as the number that I entered. However, once I query the database again for that entry the value has been rounded up/down to the nearest integer (whole number). For example: I enter 1000.50 and hit save. I search for that same entry and the value is saved as 1000. If I enter 1000.51 and hit save then search for the entry it shows the value saved as 1001.
2) I can store the desired value directly into the DB by manually entering it. When I search for that entry from within the program it displays the correct amount. HOWEVER, if I try to change the amount and then hit save I get a concurrency violation.
I think that it may be a setting somewhere in the program that doesn't allow for decimal places but I've search everywhere and I cant find anything.
I am building a tool that takes an XML document and replaces XML nodes with a different XML node using .ReplaceChild. This all works great. The nodes get changed to the proper nodes. Where I seem to be having an issue is that the new node is inserted with an xmlns="" attribute, which I am not specifying for it to do, nor do I want as an attribute. How can I stop the ReplaceChild from inserting this as an attribute, or am I going to have to remove the attribute after the node is replaced?
Dim imgSrcNode As XmlElement = xmlDoc.CreateElement("img")
Dim imgSrcAttr As XmlAttribute = xmlDoc.CreateAttribute("src")
imgSrcAttr.InnerText = "./art/" + imageName.Substring(0, imageName.LastIndexOf("."))
imgSrcNode.Attributes.Append(imgSrcAttr)
mmlNode.ParentNode.ReplaceChild(imgSrcNode, mmlNode)
Resulting XML change:
<img src="./art/equJI161298_1" xmlns="" />
XML change desired:
<img src="./art/equJI161298_1" />
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.

View 5 RepliesI was trying to use application.restart() to restart my application after downloading a new update. It seems to run into the problem where it is trying to start the new application before the original is closed so it errors out and never starts. After reading through some threads here I determined the better way to handle it would be
application.exit() process.start(application.executablepath) This didn't work and gave me what seems to be the same problem. I would also like to note this works fine when running the application through visual studios, it is only when I try to run this independent of VS2010 that the application never restarts.
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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 7 RepliesInitially my app worked with excel fine, now it causes my computer to reboot only after Excel has been opened (two or more times). I have opened and closed Excel files 20+ times without running thru either of my apps (they all uses identical code for excel) and it has never caused a reboot or a crash.
run either of my apps and have the app control excel has become a crap shoot, it will reboot my computer. Adding to that I then have to do a manual shutdown because the reboot process after is unstable. (System doesn't respond properly). My code in this app is small, should make for a good example. I can provide the entire project to anyone who would volunteer to test it. (First I need to know how to send the project).

I just want to shut down my computer, but seems like nothing works. I'm using Visual Basic 2008 with Windows 7.[code]...

1. I've registered my VB 2010 Express, will it still expire?
2. Will the applications I made using VB 2010 Express expire after some time?
3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to show the square root of the number entered in the textbox. when the user presses Q (Uppercase), the square Root should be shown (in the textbox).
