I have an ExtendedDateTimePicker control on my form. When I attempt to change the "ShowCheckBox" property to true, VS2008 stops responding and eventually exits the application; losing any unsaved changes.
I then tried to changed the property in code and the same result.
I want the control's value to be blank when it initializes.
VS2008 SP1, Winforms solution, VB.NET, compiling for x86 and .NET v2 I have about a dozen projects in the solution, with a couple of Windows forms projects and some class libraries. If I rebuild the solution, it clears out and recompiles all the projects, as you'd expect... and then disappears without trace or error message. Since I'm reconnecting to VSS 2005 over HTTP across the internet, it takes all month to start back up with everything loaded, so it's incredibly irritating. The compiled application itself works fine, and normal build and run after changes also works fine.
EDIT: Just to clarify, No add-ins except Refactor! (I know, I guess I ought to try uninstalling it to see if it's that, but it's just too useful! - I will see if there's an update though). And no custom build steps. It's just a vanilla Winforms app, with references between the projects (and some references to COM dlls for interop).

I am building an application in VS2008 (VB.NET) that contains several user controls. When I was developing under VS2005, all the components in my application would load into the toolbox so I could access them during design.
Since upgrading to VS2008, however, those application-based components do not load, and I cannot access the user controls I have built.
1. Exit Visual Studio
2. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0
3. Delete the TBD files found there (these are hidden by default)
4. Re-start Visual Studio and open your WPF application - the toolbox will now be reinitialized
and that worked for one session, but it did not get preserved -- when I shut down and came back into VB.NET, the application-based controls no longer loaded.
Is there some setting in VS2008 that I am missing? Or is there another step to getting the app-based controls to reappear each time I load the development files?
I have 2 modules and 2 forms. In the module1, I initiated the form classes and also here I have my public appexit() method.In module2, I have another class(in the form of a keyboard done by code). Form2 use this class as its control.I have:
form1_closing()
mybase.close()
)
[code]....
Now when I call appexit() in my module1 from form1, I can see that the debug is going into form1_closing but when it goes inside form2_closing, it crashing the application here.I am developing mobile device application in Vs2008.Net3.5.
I have a custom component, that contains a list of another components.If I add a child component to the list, it shows up on the same level as the parent component in the document outline window.How can I make it a subitem of the parent component? (similarly to e.g. TabPages that are subitems of a TabControl)
Here is my code:
Public Class SomeComponent
Inherits Component

I've been writing an application that gathers various details from a PC and writes the info to an SQL database. It works fine on my PC and on several others that I have been testing on, but I just ran it from one other machine and the app instantly crashes with a "testipm.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. This is logged in the event log every time the user tries to run the program:
Event Type:Error

If Not GroupBox1.Bounds.Contains(PictureBox1.Bounds) Then, and i have a stop after that to try and stop the Picturebox going off the bounds of the form which it does, but it just crashes at that point.
View 3 RepliesI need to make a custom control and decided, before that, to see if there were any additional components that I could utilize.When looking through the list, I found a component called an Expander. So I decided to add it and see how it works.
After adding it, I couldn't find it at all within the toolbox. I went back to Choose Items and it was checked, but still not in the toolbox.It's probably important to note that it is a WPF component and this is not a WPF Project. Would that make a difference?Is there something else I may be doing wrong?
We have an application that works well on XP/Pro, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server (32 bit) but is problematic on Windows 2008 Server (64 bit). The application uses an unsigned activeX control which may or may not be related to the problem. To install we need to add the program name and regsvr32 as DEP exceptions. Once that is done the application installs correctly and operates normally except when the application closes.
If a user clicks the 'exit' button our code basically says 'unload me' (where me = the main form of the application) and there is no code in the form_unload section of the program.
Everything works well on every Windows platform except Win 2008 64 bit where we get
APPCRASH
Application Name: PDFPrint.exe
Application Version: 10.10.0.18
Application Timestamp: 4d238253

After we continue to close the program we see a message box with run time error 216 at 00002B24 message.
I have an access database that I have imported into VB2008 through the data sources and have placed a table onto a form via drag and drop.Now whenever the form is displayed it crashes VS. I have tried deleting everything off the form, only leaving the database dataset, table binding source, table adapter and adapter manager on the form, even then it still crashes.I am running Windows 7 64bit, 2 of my peers are running Win 7 as well and are having this same issue, however the computers at our college are running Windows XP and have no problem at all with it.

View 4 RepliesOK maybe this is completely silly question that everyone knows the answer to but me! Is it possible to hide a component while in design view? e.g. I'm working with multiple components that overlap and would just like to be able to view/work on one at a time. Have I completely missed something or is this not possible?

View 1 RepliesWe have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?
View 5 RepliesI think (?) this is about object design, and perhaps about structural and/or creational patterns. But a bit hard to say when I only know a couple of patterns yet.[code]But... what if we INSTEAD want each Product instance only to (in some way) refer to one instance of a specific list of Components. So we wan't to save the products list to one file, and the components list to another file. Then would I build the objects the same way, or different? So let's then say we have now Class B as below. [code]
1. Will not need to update each component variable of the products list when the components list changes.
2. If the Product object shall be shown in a DataGridView, for editing properties, it seems easier to implement the selection of the component property.
Is this wrong approach? Is it suitable in some cases, and if so, when? Are there other solutions I perhaps am not aware of that would be appropriate? Is this about structural design patterns? and if so, can the alternatives above be catagorized to some pattern type? I don't really know exactly what I'm looking for.. But I think probably I'm looking to understand whether the object design will be determined by the way the objects are saved.. And if i shall save the objects by serializing to file, vs saving to a database, would I create the business objects differently?

View 4 RepliesI've had an app running without problem for a few months now. When the app crashed it would pop up a message where I could look at the error message to determine why it crashed. After a recent Windows 2003 update, when the app crashes it no longer pops up the message, writes to any log or appears in the event viewer so I have no idea now why it's crashing. Is there a way to determine what is going on that would help me see why my app is crashing?

I am using VB.NET Framework 3.5 . I have a very complicated program with over 40 forms and 100s of lines of coding. Earlier today, this program worked perfectly. I decided to change the Assembly Name from APA to Salamander. I do not get any errors and things seem to be going fine. Upon the next debug, the splash screen loads fine. (I am using a timer to proceed to the main form, not the inbuilt splash screen setting as I found it to be more reliable). However, when the main form loads, none of the pictures (resources) load and it exits itself immediately yet no errors appear at all. I think it might be to do with the .resources file but I really don't know. As I only started Visual Basic less than two months ago I'm not sure what all the files other than .vb files actually are.I really don't want to have to completely rebuild the program as my release date is in five days and as I am still at school I don't have time to complete it on top of homework. I have tried changing the assembly name back to APA again but it still does not work. I am completely stumped.
