Nov 6, 2009My Play button and options to Run/Start a program to debug, etc has stopped working. How do I can it back? I am tired of having to publish something before I can test it.

View 15 RepliesFrom the exception it throws, it cannot find a critical database file called cakecreationdb.accdb. I am at my wits end over this problem and have been up all night trying to solve it. I am quickly running out of time to do so.
The copy to output is set at copy if newer. I have also tried copy always and still get the same result.
I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).
View 4 RepliesI have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
View 2 RepliesI started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
View 1 RepliesWhen you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
I am trying to move my programs from VB6 to VB 2008 Express. My initial problen is with getting data from my Jet database. I've searched for samples but haven't been able to find anything to help me. I would like to be migrate the Jet database to the vb 2008 system.
View 3 RepliesI have a Windows Form Application which has been developed in vb.net 3.5. It is a charting program and shows stock market charts to users. Now I have made another program in vb.net (same .net version) and I want this program to interact with the one I made before. The new program is like a small scripting language. So for example: if I run a script then its output should be reflected in the other program. How can the two programs communicate ? Both will be running on same systems. No remote stuff. I mean passing arrays,strings or possibly structures.
Plus I have several functions which are written in first program. Is it possible for the other program which is an .exe also to call the functions of the other one if I make sub/function public or something. The reason is we can calls functions or subs if we include a dll. But can one exe calls functions/sub of another exe (if both program are in .net).
the only way I can get reading from an instrument is through proprietary software. even though it is connected with USB. the instrument - a Cary 500, with a GPIB interface.the problem is with instrument commands, like "reset" or "change wavelength" or "instrument reading" They reside inside a primitive Basic shell provided by the instrument software. I'm looking at expencive National Instruments, is there another solution with VS/NET?
View 3 RepliesThey are all working on my computer,but they are not working on any other computer(I tested it on about 10 computers). They are working when i start making it,but after they are not working. When i try to run it on other computer it is not opening(there is not any error message), or there is a crash report(application crashes). So they are working on beginning of programming, and after they aren't.

View 5 RepliesI'd like to mention that getting a list of the installed programs via the registry is not a viable way to receive a full an accurate list. The two main areas where the programs in the registry are stored, are mainly MS programs. Some manufacturers put their keys here as well, but most don't. And since it's impossible to know where the manufacturer has stored the key, let alone the name of the key that would give the list and the uninstall capability, it's not ideal to use the registry.
That being said, I was told that there is a COM API that Microsoft has made and uses in the Windows OS and was hoping someone knew what that API is and how to maybe implement it in VB.
Is there a way to get a list of programs from the registry?
[Code]...
I'm trying to find a way to get all of the programs that are installed by accessing the information from the registry. I googled it and was able to find the following code
Private Function Getinstalledsoftware() As String
'Declare the string to hold the list:
Dim Software As String = Nothing
[code].....
This question may be vague but I was wondering if anyone has ever implemented an application that basically creates a UI to list and monitor all running applications you have running. This applies to many developers who might have multiple programs running continuously and it would be great to have an app that monitors these programs..or does anyone think it is just unnecessary.
View 1 RepliesFirst of all, Hi to everyone, I'm new here..I'm currently investigating a way of doing the following and seem to be coming up with dead-ends!I am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldnt work.

What I don't understand is when I run the code, I get a NullReferenceException was Handled on this line:

I haven't been able to find much on the error. It seems like it is a pretty generic one and can fit into a lot of different scenarios.
I'm planning to make multiple projects, which could connect (or comminicate) together. It's like a designing Network Program. There'll be a main program and some sub programs. These sub programs will send the informations about other computers which is on my network to the main program. If you ask "Why do you need to get infos about other computers?" ,then let me explain. I'm using limited internet connection and I'm not the only one who's using this wireless network. If I get over the limit, I'm paying some limit-upper fee. So, I've to control others internet usage to not to get over the limit. I've just made a small download counter program for my pc, but as I said, I want to convert it to a bigger project, with network solution. Could anyone refer me any resource, or show me any starting point?
