VS 2008 Create A .chm File For A Large Project?
Apr 5, 2011I'm wanting to create a .chm file for a large project I've just completed.
Is there a easy way to create one of these? one that has Contents, Index, Search and Favourites section.

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 RepliesThe company I work for has a VB6 project that is using an ACCESS database.The project consists of seperate modules such as Accounts Payable, Payroll, General Ledger, and Inventory.At the current time each module is a seperate project in VB6 and the EXE files are called when needed.In total there are about 1300 forms in the project.We are moving from ACCESS to Sql Server and from VB6 to VB2008.The question that I (we) have is as follows; Should we continue to keep each module seperate and call the EXE's or should we create one large project?What are the pros and cons for each way?Is there something written that explains the advantages of either?

View 4 RepliesI have a large text file which I want to split into many different items.
On the next file I have a time between each item it's like this

01:44 p.m.
In between these items is information like you would see in a log file.
How can I split these items like this?
I have one large XML file from one of our vendor and I am trying to pars it using Linq but it looks some wrong logic I am using.
This is xml file:
HTML
<Psw xmlns="http://localhost">
<exid>20</exid>
<Mes><Me>
<doc><ps>
<ghder> .....
The code I am trying:
Dim doc As XDocument
doc = XDocument.Load(TextBox1.Text)
Dim qList = (From xe In doc.Descendants.Elements("ghder") _
Select New With { _
.mid = xe.Element("MId").Value, _
.cdate = xe.Element("cD").Value _
' As well I need to get the value for pn child attribute }).FirstOrDefault
MsgBox(qList.mid)
Error for DBNull ' Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The following code suppose to:
1. Read line-by-line a txt file with more than 500,000 lines, (each line 521 characters long)
2. extract an ID No from the line
3. query from a database for LCCIStatus
4. concatenate the value of LCCIStatus to the line
5. write the line to sample.txt
My problem is, this code works perfectly with the test file of 8000 lines but fail with the actual files which have over 500,000 lines. FYI, the test file contains data which I cut and paste from the actual file.

I am trying to parse a very large text file for certain strings. The text file is part of a level-making software for an old game I play. The text file basically contains all the information the level designer software needs, but the only important bit is the 'texture information'. Basically what I'm trying to create is a little program that parses the text files and shows the user a list of every texture in that text file. The problem is, the strings denoting textures are not really easy to find, and I can't think of any sensible and fast way to get them...

Is there a way that you can export a file from one project directly into another project?
For example, in one project i have a file called authInvalid.vb and i need to export it into another project?
I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]

View 11 RepliesI'm trying to do a setup project with VS2008 for my VB .NET application. I would need to create a text file into the installation directory based on the answers the user who installs the program gives. Idea is that I need to have the installation path variable in a text file so that I can read it. And also some other directory specifications too.
I could do the following:
Write the wanted information to the window registry and after the installation is ready, create another application that is run at the end of the installation to create these files.

I know the above steps are correct and should work because i did it in the other application (solution) and worked fine.

I wonder why did it work with my first solution and didn't work with the current one!

If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?
