VS 2008 Debug Published App?
Jan 9, 2012
I have written a fairly basic application. It reads txt files, loads a SQL, and outputs to text files. The application compiles and publishes without an error. The app works perfectly on my PC. I can not get it to work on any other PC. Application will install without an error but when I try to launch the app, nothing happens. Running out of ideas to try and hoping someone may have some tips or tricks to try and see what is going on that I have not tried.I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 with Visual Studio 2008. The only references are for .net 2.0 and ADODB.DLL. I have setup the app to include all references as local copy to true.
I have tried installs on Windows 7 Pro, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Vista. All install without error. Have tried installed as user with admin rights and the PC's primary admin account. When you launch the app, there are no messages in all OS except Windows 7. It will basically Flash a message about checking for compatability and run you through a wizard to see if running as XP or Vista works and it doesn't.

Application runs fine on the computer that I used to create it.The application has 3 functions:
Button1...locate and preview an image file.
Button2...creates an email with html link...creates an html page file...ftp's the image and html files to server...sends email.
Button3...ftps image file only.
Publish and install on another computer and I have problems.
Button 1...Will load and preview file correctly.
Button 3...ftp image file only.
Button 2...I get an error (my own 'failed' message)
I have the same net framework 3.5 sp1 on all computers.What am I missing?I am thinking now it is code, but why does it will work on one and not the other.Do I need to install VB 2008 express on every computer that will be running this app just to insure that the computers are the same?

I have a windows form app. project and when I start the debugger my form with datagridviews works fine, but when I publish the application the exe file does not work. When I double click the exe file, I get two small empty windows and the second one has a ok button on it, when I click it both windows disappear. I work with vista 64 bit and I have made another small editform which works fine.

Whenever I publish my app, or when I run the exe from teh debug folder it takes a couple of seconds before the splash screen shows.However, when I run it from within VB (by pressing the "play" button) the splash screen shows immediately.
What could be the cause of this?

I have published application before and they all (3 setup files) work fine. The problem is I don't know anymore how I exactly did it. Now I am trying to publish another form which has a connection to my sql database. The publishing goes fine: publishing folder is: C:Movie-databaseApplication 4 and installation folder is the same, and I therefore leave it empty. Application is available only online. But when I execute the published setup.exe I get two windows with no info about the error: see attachment.

I have updated a VB 2008 Winform program and published it on a shared folder. The customer can no longer use it because, at launch time, it claimed for SQLServer.Diagnostic.STrace v 10.0.0.0, what it did not before. The only thing I can think at is that I have also recently installed VS 2010 on my PC. Does it change the way VS 2008 work ? How can I solve this issue on the customer PC ?

Simple question that does not seem to be covered: If I use a lot of Debug.WriteLine statements in my code, will they be completely absent in my production version?
I mean: Is the compiler smart enough to not emit any code for those calls? Or would I have to surround them by #if DEBUG..#end if directives?

I've started a project in Expression Blend and has been working the codes in Visual Studio 2008. It was alright, no problem. I've worked heaps of projects like that before without any problems. However, out of nowhere, my WPF designer in VS2008 now gives me the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MS.Internal.Package.VSIsolationProviderService.CreateIsolationProvider(String identity, AssemblyReferenceProvider assemblyReferences, IEnumerable'1 assemblyFolders)
at MS.Internal.Providers.VSDesignerContext.GetIsolationProvider(IServiceProvider provider, [Code] .....
It displays the above instead of displaying the WPF designer. Also, I cannot Debug>Start Debugging the application anymore. I can still run/test/build it in Expression studio though. The funny thing is that if I restart a project in Expression blend, copy all the xaml codes, and copy all the vb .net codes from the original application, it works for some time, and then afterwards start giving me the same error at wpf designer in VS2008.

I have a VERY perplexing problem in both Visual Basic 2008 & 2010 Express. When I try to debug my project, the program runs without stopping at any breakpoints. If I start the debugging by clicking on Step In, the application just starts running.The Immediate Window has the following line, when I start debuging with Step In:Step into: Stepping over non-user code 'QBPOExport.GlobalFunctions.Main' (QBPOExport.GlobalFunctions.Main is my startup task)

I am going nuts here. First time trying to debug an app that uses threads. I have a console application with a thread that calls Sub (Sub A) from a thread. I have been able to get the debugger to stop on breakpoints in Sub A by setting the condition to "Test" = Thread.CurrentThread.Name (and naming the thread "Test") Using a normal breakpoint does nothing.
However, in Sub A after it hits the breakpoint, any stepping (F10, F11) causes the Sub and app to exit instead of going to the next line of code.There is an IF / ELSE statement in Sub A. I have put a System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine statement in both the IF / ELSE blocks, yet none of this code executes. Sub A calls a webservice, so I initially thought something might have been crashing in that, so I tried running Sub A without using a separate thread and everything works as expected. Do I need to change some setting in VS2008's debugger?

Ok hard to explain this one, it may be the codeproject addin i added recently or its a setting i have changed somewhere but when i'm debugging my app opens up many .cs files, kind of interesting but when i want to step through my code it goes into these files and when it errors it has no reference to where the error actually is. sometimes these files being opened have errors on them which i have had to correct for the code to work.
Has anyone seen this before and what could i do to stop it, i wish to confirm that it is this addon before i remove it (which i will do if it is this addon causing this).

I have a UserControl that retrieves a bunch of data from a database. It uses the current date as one parameter to determine which data to show.
The database however is a little old and has no data available after April 2009, so while debugging I cannot get any data and hence I can't test the control.
As a solution I simply used a date in the past instead of the current date, just so I could see some data. Obviously, this has to be changed in the release version of the application, but I'm worried it will be forgotten, leaving the control completely broken, and worst of all, it's very hard to tell that it is returning the wrong data, so the users won't see the problem at all.
Now, I'm looking for a way to change the date used during run-time. A property in the UserControl would be the best solution for me. I could have a property UseTestDate or something, and if that was True, the test date was used. It would be set to False by default, so that the regular date is used by default.
The application has a Property Grid which is used to change the properties of the UserControl, so that's how the (test!) user can change this property. He can choose to show the current date (but there probably won't be any data preset), or he can set the UseTestDate property to True and get some old data.
The problem, obviously, is that the end user in the final application will also see this property in the grid! I don't want that obviously, there is no need for them to use a test date.
So I am looking for a way to make this property visible only when the application is run in DEBUG mode (via the VS IDE). I can make a property invisible simply by setting the Browsable attribute to False. I simply don't know when to set this. The attributes only allow a constant, so I cannot use a variable that is True when the application is in debug mode or something.
I tried simply putting the whole property between a conditional compile statement:
#If DEBUG Then
Private _UseTestDate As Boolean
Public Property UseTestDate() As Boolean
[code]...
I am able to Run the application in debug mode, even though there is the error that UseTestDate cannot be found. It seems that the property can be found when I run it (which makes sense of course, as it's only compiled when in debug mode). However, using that code I am unable to Build the application so I can run the executable; the error does not 'vanish' then...
So, how can I build an application that uses a property that is only compiled when the application is run in debug mode?

I'm converting all of my Windows XP production applications to Windows 7 and I am having a couple of problems.
1: Whenever I get an error, on the XP machines, it breaks execution and stops on the line of code with the problem. In Windows 7, it just throws a generic exception and I have no idea where the line of code with the error took place. Very frustrating.
2: In XP, I can edit changes on the fly while I am running code if I place breakpoints or follow along the code. If I try that in Windows 7, it says that's not allowed with 64 bit applications.

Just got a little quirk with VS2008 on 1 solution.When i press F5 to debug my solution builds the current project but then insists on building all my setup projects...
This only occurs on 1 of my solutions and it has 20 projects within it.
I've checked startup projects and it has no dependancies and is set to selected project.
EDIT: Right click and debug in new instance works fine

I've been assigned a web app written in VB using VStudio.net 2003. I am trying to configure the source on my localhost (VStudio 2008) so I can explore and learn about the current app (before I begin any real changes) and I cannot get debugging working for the web service project(s).
Symptom 1: "Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server. See help for more information". This happens when I try to F11 (stepInto) the proxy class which invokes my actual web method.
Symptom 2: Pre-setting a breakpoint in my .asmx file code on the statement that will be invoked does not work (i.e. the debugger simply doesn't stop). Having described the situation, here's how my VStudio Solution is configured: Service1 - project created from the VB - WEB - ASP.NET Web Service Application template; this Service1 project contains my main .asmx source code I want to debug. Web.config for this project contains compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true"

Visual Basic 2008 rookie question. I am getting the error message 'Error 1 The item "objDebugCIT163Lab1Cdrb.WeatherReport.resources" was specified more than once in the "Resources" parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter.CIT163Lab1Cdrb'when I debug. I am familiar with Visual Studio 2008 having used it for my previous C# course. Zipped and attached the project below. I hadn't finished the coding, but this problem seems to be of a setup nature I should either resolve before I continue or start from scratch

This started happening randomly yesterday. When I press F5 to test my project, an old build of the program (circa yesterday afternoon) launches. No changes (and I've tried in a few different files) are reflected in the project. However, and this is truly perplexing, if I go to Build --> Build from the Menu bar, the output .exe in the /bin/release/ directory DOES include all the recent changes.
