I've been building tools for ArcGIS. Part of ArcGIS is toolboxes which is basically a collection of tools bundled together. I know how to make toolboxes, but the code I have runs within Arc itself - ie. currently it only runs when you actually start Arc up and run a tool which makes the toolbox.
In theory the code should be able to run outside of Arc and ideally I want it to run at compile time. I know you can run executables as pre and post build events when building the installer so I was thinking I could make it build the toolbox as part of one of these. Catch is, the executable code would need to have access to the compiled files of my project (it needs a link to each tool to build the toolbox) so I can't make the executable in a seperate project. The current project is a class library. Is there a way to run code within my project when building the installer?
I am creating a dll that a third party application runs.When I create a dll from scratch and not a base dll that they gave to me, the code does not automatically compile when I click the f5 (run debugging).Is there a setting that is project specific that would cause this behavior?I use the "start external program" option for debugging.
I have a Linq-to-SQL class diagram in my web application containing the two tables in my database (held in a DBPro database project in the same solution). All was working fine yesterday. I start doing some work tonight and note that the solution compiles fine in Visual Studio, but when I run the web app I get a compilation error:
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'FrostAlertDatabaseDataContext' is not defined.
Module Module1 Sub Main() Console.WriteLine(CInt("123.656")) End Sub End Module
In the above code as soon the the output appears in a window,the window disappears....How to solve this problem?Do i need to add some code to hold the output window for a longer time?
Is there some clever way of getting the date and time of when the dll was built/compiled?
I'm using the assembly version numbering and reflection to retrieve and display this info when the app is deployed. But in some scenarios it would be more convenient to know when then dll was actually compiled rather than the auto incrementing version number. I don't think the modified date on the dll file itself is reliable due to the way the app is deployed.
Dim assemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies Dim assemblyName As String Dim assemblyVersion As String
I am having a problem while compiling one of my projects in vb.net. I have a solution consisting of multiple project,one of which is the exe. Now when i am trying to compile that project i get an error which states
I want to have a bunch of different screens, yet I don't want to have to use 20 different forms (I'm pretty sure that's bad practice anyways), and I don't want to lay down all the controls at once in the designer because then things get messy. I had an idea of running a sub on startup that would dynamically generate all the controls I need with all the right coordinates and settings, and then dump al the ones needed for a specific screen into a Panel. Then I return an ArrayList of panels, and pull out the correct panel to attach to the form when I need that screen. The only problem is that my form will not have any implicit knowledge of its controls, so I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to use the WithEvents / Handles. keywords to declare handlers in the form class (which is what I'd rather do).
Depending on a preprocessor directive, I want to set all properties in a class to EditorBrowsableAttribute.Never.
I thought about creating a custom attribute, derived from EditorBrowsableAttribute, but unfortunately that class is sealed.
I've had a look at ICustomTypeDescriptor, but in the GetProperties method, I can get hold of each property descriptor, but the attributes collection is readonly.
I may have a difficult question here. I am working on a Generic class that is meant to work specifically with Enum's. Right now, I get the type of the Generic on instantiation and make sure that it is an Enum and throw an exception if it is not. So:
[code] i get an app error when running the app, because i didn't set the ID.I was wondering if there's a way to make sure the programmer assigns all properties in the class,and fail at COMPILE TIME rather than have to catch the error at runtime...
We have a project for a client that is written in VB.NET. In one of the projects, we have about 100 modules, which are all VERY simple. They're extension methods that convert between object types. Here is a small snippet:
Public Module ScheduleExtensions <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _ Public Function ToServicesData(ByVal source As Schedule) As ScheduleServicesData
I have a code below to make collection that bind to a gridview able to sort by clicking on the column header. The problem here is "IPerson" is unknown at compile time. I want the delegate type able to decide by getting from gridview datasource.[code]....
Today I discovered that something I had assumed about VB.NET for many years was not true (worrying!). I assumed that a variable declared within a loop had a lifetime of the iteration it was declared in, but in fact it seems it has a lifetime of the whole procedure.[code]I had assumed an output of False, True, False, True but instead it is actually False, True, True, True..In C# the equivalent code would not compile as you would get a compile time error of Error "Use of unassigned local variable 'var1'".I realise there are many ways to fix this and that best practice would be to declare the variable outside of the loop and reset it at the beginning of every loop through.I find this behaviour so counter-intuitive to me that I would like at least a compile time warning in VB.NET when/if I do this. (I could also then set this on any projects I already have and get warning that would allow me to check that my assumptions aren't causing errors).Does anyone know how/if I can get this to generate a compile time warning in VB.NET? Am I the only one that finds this counter-intuitive?
Today I investigated a logical bug in our software and figured out that this is related to the way VB.NET thread variables inside a loop.Let's say I have the following code:
Dim numbers As New List(Of Integer) From {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} For Each number As Integer In numbers Dim isEven As Boolean
[code]....
The problem is that isEven is declared but not assigned.In this specific case, it would be correct to write dim isEven as Boolean = false but I haven't done this.In VB.NET, a variable that is declared inside a for loop keeps its value for the next itaration. This is by design: [URL]but this is also dangerous pitfall for programmers.
However, until now, I haven't been aware of this problem/behaviour. Until now.Most of our code base is C# anyway, which doesn't allow the use of an uninitialized variable, so there is no problem. But we have some legacy code that is written in VB.NET that we have to support. So the best thing would be to generate a warning or even an error in this specific case.But even with Option Explicit / Option Strict this does not generate a warning / an error.Is there a way make this a compile time error or maybe a way to check this with FxCop?
Let's say that I have an entire project build in C# and other project build VB and I made a reference to this VB project Because this two projects need to interact between each other. Is this possible? the compiled code of this two project could live together??. Also if i made the same project VB and C# the compiled version are the same??
i was trying to accomplish to that task with codedom classes, but i can't compile my code!May you post here an example which does succesfully that?Here are son additional information i forgot to write before,my current code is this:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim CodeDomProvider As CodeDomProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("VB") Dim fl As String = "Form1.vb"
[code]....
I guess the code in the source file is incorrect...What should i write there?
I want to know how can I compile my native code programs to IL codeto save my**Edit**I mean that visual basic save the code in files such as (form1.vb) so that i want to save this file in(form1.dll)
My boss has used VBA in excel to create an application and we have had problems deploying the application to various PCs. Errors occur during the execution and we have to address dll inconsistancies between PCs to make it run.
I have heard that it is possible to compile the VBA code with VB.net.
is it possible to take a compiled help file and add this as a resource to an application and have it compile into the .exe? I know you can do this with graphics, The reason I ask is because the customer wants just an exe to distribute - not a whole install program.
Following is the OnCallBack (async communications handler method) in C# and translated to VB.NET.The c# one works fine, but the VB.NET one gives a compilation error: "Property access must assign to the property or use its value." The error happens on the following line:
I'm trying to make a vb.net application that has got 2 textboxes, 7 radio buttons and 2 buttons(one named compile and the other 'run'). How can I load the content of a C/C++(or any programming language) file into the 1st textbox and on clicking the compile button, i should be able to show the errors or the C/C++ program in the 2nd textbox. On clicking Run, I should be able to show the output in the 2nd textbox. In short, I want to use the 2nd textbox as a terminal/console. The radio buttons are 4 selecting the language C or C++ or python or C# or java or perl or vb.Are the compilers of all these languages present in .net? If so how can I call them?
I'm working on an application that uses a control with up, down, left and right user bottons to move a box in another control (another form). I know the name of the control. If I place the buttons in the same form, I'm able of keeping the focus on the control that have the box, by using:cvsDisplayControl.focus()
I tried to compile the control with this instruction within the code, but I got a errors since this the display control is not part of the one that has the buttons. Something that can help me is a way to assign tha name of the display control in runtime or read it from a file so the control can be compiled ok.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (college only has 2005 so..) and I have a very important program to write for college.My problem is, every time I try to compile I get the error: "Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly "Program" or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid." We're talking a very simple program - I've only been learning for a few weeks.
Explanation of Build verse Publish Compile in simple english. I have my first appication I want to now deploy. I have been reading about Clickonce and it looks like a nice solution for my project. I actually tried it already but I recieved an error message "forbidden" I think there is an issue with my hosting site? Anyway I have been reading and am a bit confused to these different terms. Is build what I would use if I want to add-in a set-up / installer package with program with an exe file, sort of like the traditional way of handing someone a disk and they install it on there machine? Publish appears to what is used for the click once, but I dont think thats the only thing. I can publish to a disk? It looks like I can publish to my own computer until i figure out my website issue and test the program from there?
