ok so when i was watching a tutorial with my dad about learning the ropes of vb express 2005 i saw something he had that i didn't. so i paused the video and my dad tried getting the part to where i needed it and in the process deleted most of the stuff on the right hand side. so he uninstalled then reinstalled and we got most of it back except the solution exlorer. now i've gone to view and when i click on the solution exporer nothing happens.
View 2 RepliesI seem to have some finger trouble creating a new application, here is what I am trying to do: I am trying to create a new solution and under the solution an exe (console project and a set up / deployment project. I have done this in the past and cannot see to do that any more.
Steps:
1. Create a new solution, the solution show in the solution explorer (with 0 projects)
2. Using "add" I create a console application (under the solution) and it shows a module etc. So far fine.
3. At this point the solution explorer windows only shows the console project and the solution itself (that used to show on the top) is gone. Now I am not able to add another project to my solution. I close my screen and then try to open the solution again. It comes up with the console project.
When I load the report from my c: drive it works fine:

Now when I load the report from solution explorer it tells me "Load report failed. The system cannot find the file specified"
[code]...
I have added the report to solution explorere and part of my project
When i Restarted my project, the solution explorer is not showing up. I tried with ctrl+ ALt+ L, still it is not showing up. The property window is showing.I tried with the suggestion of going to options in Tool menu and checked whether "ALWAYS SHOW SOLUTION" is selected or not. What may have caused this problem?
View 4 RepliesI'm debugging someone else's code and one of the projects within the solution explorer always has bold letters. What does this mean? It is the second project in the build order and has one depedency, but creating a dependency on another project does not produce bold letters.
View 1 RepliesI have added some classes to my project and now i want to define a variable as one of the classes, for example the class is called xml and i want to create a variable called XMLfile and have it as the class XML.
Can this be done? Or can variables only be declared as types (like Integer, string, etc)?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room
I want to be able to create a tree view that can get its nodes form a directory on a computer. In the code below, I am able to get all of the files into a list, but I cannot get the folder correct. What I mean is in your user directory, you have sub directorys such as, Documents, Music, and Pictures. When you run this code, it displays them each as thier own node, not nested. I hope this makes sense.

Changed the code to the way spinion told me to. When I run this code I get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when it starts to try and add files to the tree view.
I am trying to run an HTML file that I have imported into the Solution Explorer. I don't know how to refer to documents in the Solution Explorer in code. How can I do that?
I am currently using this code, but it doesn't work: process.start(".help.html")
I'm trying to access some images I've copied into a folder within Solution Explorer. For the life of me I can't figure out how to access them programmatically.
I'm using VB 2010 Express Edition. The folder name is 'Images'. The image name is 'checked.png'.
I created a simple usercontrol AutoHidePanel by using toolStrip and a panel, which have to work like Solution Explorer. When the user click's the autohide pin the panel width will slowly minimized up to 3 pixels so that the user can't see that panel. when the mouse moves over to the control, It will appear as before and these functions are working fine.
But I have a prob. with below function. When the mouse leave the control, it should disappear again. so i wrote hide function in to the MouseLeave event of Both controls(Toolstrip and panel) Here the prob. begins, when the cursor moves from Panel to ToolsStrip or ToolStrip to Panel the MouseLeave event minimize the AutoHidePanel Control. I tryed this Hide Function in the MouseLeave event of my control AutoHidePanel but that dosen't even raises the event because the panel is filled in my control.
In the Solution Explorer window, is it possible to change the highlight color of selected items *when the form does not have focus*?For example, selecting a module in the Solution Explorer highlights that module's name in Blue, then when the focus is lost by moving to another window in the IDE, that blue highlight becomes a very, very light gray (on some LCD monitors in particular). I'd like to make that light gray a bit easier to see.Is this possible? I'm running VS2008 SP1 on Vista 64.
View 2 RepliesIt was suggested that I pose this question here instead of the installation forum:In VB2010, when opening a class, form, etc. from the Solution Explorer, I would like it to open as a floating window, not as a tabbed document. Is there a way to do this?
View 12 RepliesI'm having trouble working with the Solution Explorer in VB.Net 2010. To start, I am clicking New Project > Windows Forms Application. Initially, in the Solution Explorer, there are 2 files listed: My Project and Form1.vb.
When I double-click My Project and select Resources, Add Resource, Add Existing File and select a text file that I've added to the BinDebug folder of this project, the Solution explorer is updated to include the Bin folder reference. However, if I later remove the reference, the folder remains visible in the Solution Explorer. The Show All Files button does not hide the reference again.
Is this something to be concerned about? Is there a way to remove/hide the Bin reference from the Solution Explorer since it no longer contains my resource?
Some of my students end up with a different icon in the Solution Explorer when they create applications. An example is the attached Exam.vb icon, which includes a little arrow into the normal Form icon (see pic) . I am guessing it means it is linked some how. When the application is zipped and submitted, an error is thrown when I unzip it to grade it which indicates that the file in not part of the project, and it references the absolute address on the original application.Any idea what caused this and how can I instruct the students to avoid it in the future?
View 5 RepliesA form I created, was able to modify and shows when the program is run has suddenly changed in the solution explorer. Now when the form "MainMenu.vb" is highlighted in the solution explorer the icon for "view designer" vanishes from the toolbar. The "view code" shows "MainMenu.vb" but there is not any code there and only an empty "General" and "Declarations" show. The icon to the left of the "MainMenu.vb" is like a module icon not a form icon.
View 5 RepliesI have a solution that contains a WCF service project. In Solution Explorer only the MyService.svc file is shown, but on double clicking it the MyService.svc.vb file opens for editing. That is OK, but Visual HG (based on Mercurial) now doesn't show that the MyService.svc.vb file has changed and I cannot commit any changes without browsing to the Tortoise HG workbench. This is a possible cause for errors when merging code. So, how do I make the MyService.svc.vb file appear in Solution Explorer?
EDIT: The problem seems to be limited to VB WCF projects. In C# there is an arrow before the .svc file that will show the svc.cs file when clicked. Bug?

View 7 RepliesStupid question, but how do I get access to this Explorer? The says: To create a performance session for Windows client application:
(1) Open the solution in the Visual Studio IDE.
(2) On the <B>Analyze</B> menu, click <B>Launch Performance Wizard</B>.
(3) From the <B>Which of the following available targets would you like to profile?</B> drop-down list, select the name of the application that you want to profile, and then click <B>Next</B>. You can add more binaries later.
(4) Accept the default Sampling profiling method, and then click Next.
(5) Click <B>Finish</B>.
Only problem is that there is no <B>Analyze</B> menu in the IDE.

View 1 RepliesI am having this strange thing happen where I have a Module that contains multiple classes in my project. In the Solution Explorer, the module shows up as a Windows Form and if I double click on it to open it, it tries to open the Form Designer. What could be causing VS to think that it is a Windows Form instead of a module?

View 2 RepliesI 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?

Maybe someone can give me some advice as how to make sure that the applications returns the correct Sln files?
