I am not sure if this is the correct place for this, but am using a custom control in a project that I want all the developers to have access to when they download the source.
Should I just add it to the project like a normal file? If so how do I reference it in the project folder? The other developers project folders might have different paths than mine.
I am in the process of creating a open-source project to track the Psychological Mood of a person, this application will be used by people visiting psychologists. People that are currently in therapy or want to keep track of mood changes. The program is based on CBT. To provide to the end-user the tools for him to be able to monitor his mood.To provide to the therapist additional information for the client through the automatic generation of graphs.I am looking for some volunteers to help me with Coding of the Project. I am doing the coding in Visual Basic 2010 and currently using MS Access 2007 as the Database. I have many plans to make this is a feature-rich application with the aim to help the end-user.
View 5 RepliesI am in college taking computer programming and we are now in multiple classes and forms. It was very hard to get ahold of at first but now that I understand it a bit better I am curious as to how often in a professional enviornment do developers create multiple classes for a project? Besides the use of custom functions what else is beneficial for it?

My scenario is such that I have a VB.NET project in SVN and I am using the Application Framework to start the application. This poses a great problem when different developers are working on different forms and they want to have different startup forms. Right now if we change the project settings, its changed for everyone else too. How can we work around this? Can SVN have a class committed into the repository and later changes cannot be committed into it? (more like ignoring a file but with a initial copy in the repo)
View 2 RepliesWhat I'm Not looking for:Now, just to be clear, i'm not looking for VB6 to C#.Net content, as i know there are a few of those out there.Also, I know about that "syntaxconversion table" website, where it compares VB.Net to C# language features in a side by side table. I am not interested in this either, already know about it.I'm also not looking for a converter, which converts C# code to VB.Net and visa versa, i know there are a few websites which do this and already have the addresses.Finally, I'm not looking for a C# book or resource that caters to current programmers, but specifically to VB.Net programmers!
What I Am looking for:To learn C# (VS2008 or preferably VS2010 version) given that i already know VB.Net 10.0 (VS2010)... as there are many things related to .NET that i won't have to learn again if i can find something that will leap me from vb.net to c#, many bits of the CLR, how .NET works etc... since the languages are the same in what they do, and what they use to do them, i don't want to have to re-learn all this again. The only difference is really the syntax, but also how the C# language differs in dealing with certain things, what default expectations/behaviours are in various scenarios etc...
The set of differences and similarities between C# and VB.Net are so unique that neither of these languages likely could share this unique set/combination of differences and similarities with any other language. So my point is, it really needs to be C# for VB Developers oriented, otherwise it'll almost cetainly be inappropriate or a re-hashing!
What would you recommend as the "best" VB.NET and C# books for learning Design Patterns?eferably books that actually give examples of when to use the patterns. I need torecommend some books to a group of C# and VB.NET developers.
View 19 Repliesafter a lot of work and late nights, I finally have something to give back to the VBForums community which has helped me so much.TwitterVB is a library for communicating with Twitter. It's 100% Visual Basic.NET and coded against version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. It is free, and it is open source.
TwitterVB contains a working implementation of OAuth, which allows your application's name to appear in tweets.I hope that this library proves to be useful to VB.NET developers who are looking to develop their own Twitter applications.TwitterVB can be found at http://code.google.com/p/twittervb
If you'd like to see a working implementation of TwitterVB in action, you can look at the Twitter client that I built with it: Quitter. Like TwitterVB, Quitter is 100% Visual Basic.NET. It is also free and open source. Quitter can be found at[URL]..
How do I fix this error in Visual Studio? "The project file cannot be loaded. The application for project ... is not installed" I have copied a whole project onto my PC, both into My Documents/Visual Studio and into inetpub/wwwroot, but when I try to open the project in Visual Studio, it tries to open just 1 file .vssproj and gives me error messages, like : "The project file cannot be loaded. The application for project ... is not installed.". What am I doing wrong? The VS edition is 2005 as are all the projects aI am trying to load.
View 3 RepliesI had made a project in VB.NET 2005 with SQL SERVER 2005 used as database. Now i want to make a setup of this project but i am unable to integrate sqldatabase and .net framework in this setup project. Is there any way to do this. Because it is assumed that the client does not have .NET Framework installed nor he has SQL Server on his system and the worst condition would be he does not have even internet connection from where these two setups can be downloaded if we give the condition for downloading these programs from the net if the client does not have these programs installed on his machine.
View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to copy a rather complex form from one part of my project and use it (modified) within another part (ie, depending on whether it's maintenance or an outage, you'll get a slightly different email screen).
My first attempt failed miserably, as I had simply right-clicked and pasted the form within the project, assuming renaming the controls would work. nope, I didn't realise that there was stuff in the original form that was renamed as well, and that created a monstrous pile of errors.My second through fourth attempts also failed, generating errors in forms that (I thought) weren't related or connected. Once I deleted the copied form, all was fine.
So, short of trying to rebuild the form from scratch (using a different naming convention for my controls etc.), is there a simple way of doing this? This seems to be such a simple task, but alas I was wrong....(or, at least it's not easy with the information I have right now.
UPDATED: Feel like this shouldn't be that complicated, but I think I just don't know the proper name for what I'm trying to do. I'm dealing with an ASP.net project. The concept is pretty simple: I have a library that supplies some ecomm functions. One class in the libary contains functions around calculating tax. One class in the library revolves around the cart header. This class is consumed by a web project.

View 1 RepliesNo not of the Simple Object Access Protocol variety, but Soap It seams that Imperial Leather is the .NET developers soap of choice. This means however that we will all smell the same, and will make detecting a fellow developer out in the wild a little more difficult, since you cant smell your own scent. May i also suggest that PEARS Soap is not only far more visually appealing than Imperial Leather, but it actually smells much nicer too. Plus the Queen buys it as well, so just think on that the Royal bottom gets washed with this stuff:what says the masses?

We just spent 300 man-hours fixing a buggy application in the field. It all came down to calling Application.DoEvents (re-entrancy problem).This was not caught in design reviews, code reviews.The code was inserted two years ago with the first version; the application was always "flaky" but recent changes exposed the re-entrancy problems to a greater degree. This incident is the second time in our organization that Application.DoEvents caused failures and multi-man hours of debugging.It was discovered in this case by simply noticing the call,buried way down in a complex event handler for an asynchronous task.What do you suggest to prevent this issue from happening again:
Add checkin gates to source control?
Developer training?
Code Analysis rules (why is this not already a built-in rule?)
How to I enforce a coding practice?
I have a VS 2005 project. I want to create a project that is exactly the same except for the back end database name. Table names and structure, form names, etc., would not change.What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Copy the project? Start a new project and copy all forms, datasets, etc.?
View 1 RepliesI am hoping that someone from the forum is familiar with the Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 book so that this question makes a little more sense. I have completed the sample project and understand most of what I have done. There are some holes in my knowledge but I am sure I will pick up those pieces as I become more familiar with object orientated programming.
The sample project is an almost complete application where you view and edit Objects that are stored in a database. The author leaves the remaining features needed up to the reader, which is great because I have been able to put new knowledge into use. However I am having trouble saving a new object back to the database.
