I'm trying to move a project from my old laptop to my new laptop. But I'm running into a problem: whenever I open the project on my new laptop, it crashes!I can open other projects on my new laptop, including some copied from my old laptop. I can also open the project in question on my old laptop. So the problem must be some combination of things in the project, and the fact that it was moved
View 4 RepliesI'm migrating data from an old laptop to a new laptop, including some vb.net projects in visual studio 2008. But when I try to open some of them on the new laptop, I quickly get a dialog stating that the vb compiler has crashed and asking me if I want to close, debug, or check online for solutions. Visual studio then, frustratingly, closes.The projects don't crash when opened on the old laptop, and other migrated projects open without crashing. So it must be some property of the projects that becomes corrupted by moving them.

The old laptop is windows xp and uses visual studio professional. The new laptop is windows vista and uses visual studio team. The 'migration' was a straight copy paste of the source files.
For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
View 2 RepliesI've recently started running into DotNET difficulties with newer HP and Dell systems that are pushing x64 processors and operating systems onto a totally unaware end-user market, so suddenly a lot of work I've done in VB.NET is going to ____ in a handcart; specifically all the work I've done with 3rd Party tools that are only available in x86 or x64 builds and not DotNET Native builds for any CPU. The biggest problem is that all the DLL File Names, in-code Namespaces, Classes, and Methods are totally identical - just one version is compiled for 32 bit and one for 64. What I need to do to fix this is provide some #If compile conditions that alter the paths of existing references based on the Build Configuration, so that when I'm compiling for the x86 platform it references C:DBAPISQLitex86System.Data.SQLite.DLL but when compiling for x64 it references C:DBAPISQLitex64System.Data.SQLite.DLL.
I don't have a problem writing compile conditions, but can't figure out how to alter the reference paths before the compile begins, short of manually removing one reference and adding the other every single time I need to do a dual-platform compile.
I have a very simple class that crashes the VB.NET IDE when I added this list. Granted this is a list with 10,000 items but it crashes when I added it to the project. When I delete it with a text editor outside the project does not crash. I have not installed SP1 based on the comments not sure if this is a know problem or not. I can post the project its fairly small as its just text.

View 4 RepliesVB.NET has this rather annoying limitation which caps compiler warnings reported at 100.vbc : warning BC42206: Maximum number of warnings has been exceeded.This makes things rather frustrating when trying to size up the amount of effort that would be required to comply with VB.NET best practices, such as enabling Option Strict.
View 2 RepliesI have a winform application written with vb2010.I changed the "Language" property of a winform of my application to german, only for testing purpose. I built the application and in my indebug folder it was created a new de folder with the localized resource file "appname.resources.dll". Then I set back the "Language" property to (Default) and "Localizable" to FALSE and built again the application, but the de folder with its appname.resources.dll were created again. I have controlled each form in my application, the My Project setting too,nothing points to any other culture. I deleted the whole debug folder, but after each build, I get always the de subfolder.I cannot understand what is changed in my application now: why does the compiler create a localized resource if I set back the form properties?I repeated the same for a new culture (afrikaans), to discover any changes in the form properties: I found nothing that could help me, but now I get two subfolders.: de and af

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to open a project we did in class the other day at home.
When I try to open the project in VB, I get an error that's not terribly helpful. It basically says the project cannot be opened because its project type () is not supported by this application.
I believe that the information I need should be contained within the paren which is blank in my error message. I've looked up the error message and all the examples I've seen contain some information there.
The project was done using VS 2008 in VB in the classroom. That's exactly what I have at home. The only thing that I can think of is that something is missing from my version of VS2008 at home. The reason why I believe this is because when we needed to use SQL, it was already installed at school whereas I needed to go out and download then install it at home. So I assume my install at home is somehow incomplete. I've thought about uninstalling everything at home and re-downloading it and selecting all of the "add-ons" when I do it. This could be a total waste of time though since I don't really know what's going on.
I just thought I'd ask around before going through that.
EDIT: I downloaded VS 2008 Pro from dreamspark. Everything seems to be working.

I have put a ton of effort into my new project, and I have saved the coding and designer part. I never did publish it, and when I came back to open it later to work on it, I can't seem to get to the screen that allows you to move items, and edit the looks of the project. I have to files that say RSEB.Designer.vb and RSEB.Vb - So how do I open the screen that allows me to edit the damn project?

I am running a simple test app that opens an OLEDB connection, retrieves a single value, then closes. The compiled (console) app works fine, but running it from the IDE causes either a silent close (if it's a winforms app) or a crash of vshost32.exe if it's a console app.

View 3 RepliesWe 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

View 3 RepliesThis error first appear to occur randomly. Steps to recreate:Open Visual Studio and load a solution (some files automatically opened) - this is when the problem occurs Close all open files Restart visual studio and load solution (no issues)Open Exactly the same files again, restart visual studio and load solution so files open automatically (problem occurs!)
However, when trying to narrow it down to a single file (that is automatically opened when the solution is loaded), I couldn't reproduce the problem. Now with all the files open again the problem doesn't occur!!! So it looks like it is fixed - though this happened before and eventually the issue came back.
I think it is to do with one of the user controls with DevExpress controls on it - when the error occurs, the designer displays the error. Though I can't reproduce it at the moment to confirm that.
