Suppose in a solution there are two projects A and B. A is a class library project, B is a console project. I set the output path of project A as ..in elease, after I compiled it, I found it is ture that a created file testA.dll is there. Just curiously I checked the folder ..indebug, it is empty. Likewise, I set the output path of project B as ..in
elease. Okay, then I add the file testA.dll to the project B and run the solution etc..
My question is that after these procedures, I found that testA.dll is also in the ..indebug of project A. And also when I checked the folder ..indebug of B, testA.dll is there as well but nothing in the ..in elease of B. I just want to know the secrets of the build path, I am always confused in the real world because there are several projects in a solution.
The build output path is ..inWhat does it mean ..?I mean what is the root folder?If there are multiple projects, should we set the individual path of each project consistently?
Using visual basic express 2010 on windows 7 pro 64b.Solution one CLB is a class library with multiple projects.Solution two WFA is a windows form application with a reference to one of the CLB projects .dll located in the bin release folder (not the debug folder).Problem:When CLB gets modified and build, the WFA shows for the class on the .dll:ype MyClass" is not defineThis problem gets solved by either deleting and adding again the reference or by closing the WFA in which case when reopen the reference is good again.I know that:Solutions with multiple projects dont create a .dll on the debug folder just on the release one.Questions:
Today I was build one Windows Service Application which has the reference to 4 Dll. After building the Release I found that there was one more DLL in addition to the reference I have. I checked using ILDASM and it only showed 4 dlls.What could be the issue ? How I can I check why it is getting unwanted DLL's in Release Folder?
i was just wondering if in Visual Studio there was a way to put all the referenced DLL files in a separate folder for when you build the project? I'm talking about when you build the project and go in Bin/Release or Debug, i have the exe file along with all the DLL files in the same folder and would like to clean it up and get the dlls in a separate resource folder or something like that.
I am having trouble trying to get NAnt to compile my project, which consists of a windows forms application, a utilities library (DLL) and a data classes library (DLL). The problem is that I can't get the main WinEXE application to reference the data classes library, which gets compiled as the second step, before the app is compiled.
I am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
I'm trying to develop some AI code for a game I'm creating. I have a list of x,y coords and I need help figuring out what I can use/do to build the shortest path between any 2 points in this list. I would like to build a function that I can pass a list of valid X,Y coords to use when generating the path, start point, end point, and have it return a list of points, which would be the shortest path between the start and end point, using the list of points supplied. I have looked at A* and Dijkstra's, but am having problems implementing the algs in code, as all this seems graph based.
I'm making a project for school with a group of classmates. It is an application that needs to reference quite a few pictures and strings from My.Resources. I don't know what the problem is but, whenever I run the program, I get a message that reads this: "There were several build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?"
COM Reference 'WMPLib' is the interop assembly for ActiveX control 'AxWMPLib' but was marked to be linked by the compiler with the /link flag. This COM reference will be treated as a reference and will not be linked.
I have a simple vb.net project that outputs a dll. In order to build this project, I have to reference some 3 3rd party dlls by manually adding them to the project and then building.
What I want to do now is auto build this using a app called CruiseControl. . . I have been told that in order to use the 3 3rd party dlls, I have to modify the .proj file to include the .dlls. The thing is, where in the proj file do I include this and how do I do this? I think I may know where the section is and I have included it here:
[code...]
When I run the auto build program it fails (it runs through but fails at compile time); when I build this manually it works when i refer the dlls. What am I missing to make this work?
I am using an existing COM dll that works fine in VB6, on the same development machine. The VB6 app compiles and uses this dll without issue.
I start from scratch to design a new Windows Form application in VB.Net. Then when I try to add a reference to this dll, the reference is added to the references list but the path shows as <The system cannot find the reference specified>. If I select this reference in the list, the properties window shows a blank for both the reference name and the path. At the same time, a reference is added for VBA, and it shows the reference name (Interop.VBA) and path correctly.
I used dependencywalker to find the dependencies for this dll. It has 3: user32.dll, kernel32.dll, and msvbvm60.dll. So presumably I have all necessary dependent files.
I have tried un-registering, re-registering the dll. I have tried the command line switches for devenv.exe to reset settings and to launch in safe mode. I created a new user account to see if it was related.
I have tried picking the dll from the Add References, COM tab and also via the Browse tab to select the file directly. Same result all cases. I also tried putting the dll and msvbvm60.dll in my bin folder.
I don't understand how the reference name and path are missing in the properties window when the reference name is right there in the list and I select the path directly when I added it. There are no other instances of this dll registered.
I tried using tlbimp from the command prompt with verbose switch, I get the error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException - Error loading library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRAY)). I wish it would tell us what is missing.
It must be registered properly and all dependencies available for it to work in my VB6 app, Re-writing the dll is not currently an option.
Suppose I have a solution containing several projects. I set the compiling path as ..in folder. A reference file xxx.dll is used in project aaa, yyy.dll is used in project bbb etc.
xxx.dll and yyy.dll are stored in c:sharedlls folder.
My question is that if I compile the entire solution, do xxx.dll and yyy.dll are draged into ..in folder automatelly?
I am not clear the purpose of the compiling of the solution exactly.
I want to use IWshRuntimeLibrary library to create shortcut icon, i know how to use it within the VS IDE, just add it as reference. My problem is im creating the program on the fly using CSharpCodeProvider. So how do i reference the library in my source code. it will work if i use it from VS IDE, i got some hints on the web and try it ,but it doesnt load the assembly. The line below is what i got from the web but it doesnt work . "DLLFILES" is the folder that i put the IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AppendPrivatePath(Application.StartupPath + \DLLFILES); i put this line the mainusing IWshRuntimeLibrary; //refrence the library,
I have added webservice support to an OLD PocketPc 2002 application written in VS2003. I don't have the ability to choose dynamic path as in VS 2005, which is the best way to switch URL from dev, test and prod environment for this application? Should I create some factory class that read a value from the app.config and return a service reference with the correct URI?
I installed an application with an Oracle.DataAccess.dll on multiple pc's.The problem is that the location of the reference is different on all pc's.Is there a way to catch this problem or do I have to put the .dll in a central place on the clients pc?
We have upgraded our project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 without any issues until now. Our project contains a folder call Libraries which contains different versions of Oracle ODP.NET DLL's as well as different versions of Telerik DLL's. Our project contains references to one of the versions of each. The problem is once we remove the reference and re-add it by browsing to the new version, again inside the Libraries folder inside the project, it adds the reference, but to the same version we just removed. We can even copy the DLL to our desktop, remove the reference and add to the new one on our desktop and it still will point to the Libraries folder version???. The only we we can actual change the reference to the new DLL is by manually changing the path in the .vbproj file, which is obviously not going to work for us. The same behaviour worked perfectly in VS 2008. We switch our references quite often, when new versions come out, but also far more often to QA different versions of ODP.NET and Telerik Control DLL's, so manually editing the .vbproj file is becoming quickly cumbersome. If I browse to a specific version at a specific path, Visual Studio should ALWAYS do what I'm telling it to do..
I did some seaching and came across a few other people with the same issue. This better not be as designed and if it's a bug, which I believe it to be, when will it be fixed?[URL]..
I've done most of my testing under vb2008 debug. Now that I'm doing higher level testing with the executable I've found that I have to set the build output path every time I start the project - in fact, If I don't keep the project properties window open, I have to change the path back after every build.
I'm working with several projects whose executables interact, therefore I am constantly switching projects to tweek one of the other modules and I have to configure the build output path again every time.
Is there a way to tell it to remember the path "permanently" until I change it?
I have complete all Vb introduction lesson in MSDN, but I still don't understand how to read and use object browser as My reference. Anyone can help me for this, Oia, I'm a newbie in programming and I choose Vb for the first step. I use VB EE.
I get this error:Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.When i compile on the following code section:
Private Sub statusBarToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = Not ToolStripMenuItem.Checked statusStrip1.Visible = ToolStripMenuItem.Checked
I thought the %AppData% should find the relative path. When I go 'Start|Run|%AppData% windows explorer takes me to that directory. I can not put the full path in, as the user is different on each client machine.
I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]
I have a Form with a Media Player in it. Which plays a Song.
[Code]...
It's playing in the background since the Form is hidden. When I play itin Debug, everything works fine. When I run the app outside Debug, I get this error: [URL] The Music File is there, but strangely, there comes this weird error.
A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?
