it is possible to develope apps for the blackberry using Visual basic 08(or any version out there). I downloaded the Blackberry IDE but you need to know Java, and I don't have the time right know to attempt to learn another language.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to develop an app with Microsoft's Visual Basic Express 2008 to run on the .net framework 1.0. Is there something I can download to do this or do I have to require the latest framework to be downloaded?
View 1 RepliesI am using VB 2008 to develop apps working with Access. With this IDE I can compile my apps as x86 . Then runs fine under 64 bits Windows 7 and Vista Systems.
First question:but if I run this app under XP 64 bits, will run fine too?
second question:the apps developed with VB 2003 (these work with access too ..."jet oledb"). How I can compile as x86? I have not seen this option like VB2008.
I need to develop some apps that will be accessed from both PC and macs. Can this be done with visual Studio 2010?

View 2 RepliesWhat I want to produce is a form with about 20 text box's on it that are linked to a timer. That is easy, what isn't easy for me is how to get the data in a loaded form from access to another VB app. (timer form will be limited to one instance)
I have an access database which copies a string to clipboard and then opens a vb app. I have a button on that app which captures the clipboard text and moves it to an empty field starting a timer (lots of fields, keeps searching till it finds an empty field).What I want to know is: can access talk to a vb form that is already loaded and start a function?ORIf access can't talk directly to a vb app, can vb apps talk to each other and swap data (not just keystroke macros eithre)?
I can get access to copy text to the clipboard, launch a VB program that grabs the text in the clipboard and starts a timer, but can I get that VB app to talk to a second application?EDIT: I should add that VB doesn't need to talk to any tables in access, just what is in the clipboard.
EDIT: Tried to make 2 instances of the same app talk to each other using my.settings but it didn't work.
Could I make them talk to each other through a file other than my.settings file OR make the my.settings file absolute regardless of how many instances?
I would like to determine what apps are running on the computer. Not sure where to start.
While we are at it, is there any event that triggers that indicates that a new application has been started? Basically I am trying to log what applications are running on the application while my VB application is running.
I need some advice here, i have several little applications that i want to be small modules (don't know if it's the right name), in one Main application.I know that i can do this in several ways (add the code, call the exe), but i was looking to guidance for the best way / pro way.
I was thinking in creating DLLs for each one, and after putting the DLLs in one folder inside my Main Application instalation, it recognizes all the DLLs in that folder and create the appropriated menu for the DLL with the options defined inside. Kind off add-in, this may help me in the future if i need/want to add other apps/DLLs.I already seen something like this in the web, but i don't remember where or what should i write in the google to get what i want...

View 3 RepliesI would like to know if its possible to show up a form in front of all other opened apps . Exemple : myapp.exe (is under of all those application) internet explorer , photoshop , windows live messenger. On event (for exemple on new message recived) myapp.exe will show up all over other forms.
View 3 RepliesI'm developing a shell (think LiteStep or SharpE) for Windows using Visual Basic .NET, and I have reached the point where I will need to get into theming other windows that doesn't run inside the shell itself.Modifications I will need to do is to change their title bars - probably using some kind of API call - to match the design I've integrated into the shell itself, if that is even possible. Having Aero on windows running in a shell that doesn't even look like Aero at all isn't very pretty.) Is there a chance I might be able to do this, or will I have to use a 3rd party application and/or develop my own little programming language for shell-specific applications (which would be a pain)?
View 2 RepliesFirst off, this is not for a class. Although I *AM* taking VB classes, I wanted to do something on my own that would help me learn. I find that the examples and assignments in class, are okay, but I would like to do something that I could apply in real life, perhaps apply it to my own work and master many techniques. So this could actually become my own final exam
That being said, I have searched and read all the posts on quizzes and tests and they are usually asking for code answers. No from the beginning development and planning. I am sure eventually, I might ask some code questions, but I would like to start at the beginning and analyze, develop the algorithm/ flow chart, and desk-check first.

View 1 Replies what WPF based apps are?Is it an application that runs under Silverlight? If so, how?I know; Windows Forms based apps,console apps,DLL _ Class Library Projectsand I've had an introduction to ASP.Net.What I mostly want to know is, if WPF apps are for Silverlight then do they also run in a server based fashion like anASP.NET website would when you create ASP.Net webpages?Is it a way of creating what looks like a FORMS BASED application but it runs in a browser instead or what?Please enlighten me a bit further as I have no idea what WPF is all about.

View 2 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2008 on an XP machine and am trying to develop a web app that can interact with websites and carry out automatic tasks.One problem I have is trying to recreate the web requests for automatic interaction.
For example:I use a webBrowser control to allow me to surf a page manually. Then, once I am at a specific location, I'd like the automatic interaction to take over.Part of the website requires a log-in and exchanges cookie data.When I try to read the cookie info from the webbrowser control to build the subsequent automatic requests, the cookie content is incomplete.Upon further investigation, it appears that the site sets one of the cookies to "http only". This stops the value being visible to the webbrowser control.Is there another control or method I could use to retrieve this info?

View 2 RepliesI am using an Application server for calling Oracle Reports and I have a URL to call the report. When the report is called the server converts it into PDF but when report contains large data it takes a lot of time to load. I want to do in asp.net that when I call the report url it opens the PDF file and copies it into the root of my web folder. The next time when I call the URL it opens the PDF file and creates a new PDF on backend for next call. I have made this function to download file

Basically, i am trying to determin if an application made for 1.x will run on a computer with just one copy of the .NET framework installed which is a higher version than what i am targetting, ie: it only has one copy of .NET 2.0, or 3.0, or 3.5 or 4.0 - has one copy of either of these and thats it, the hypothetical computer would not have 1.0 or 1.1 installed.

Usually when you right click on an application, and then click on properties, you can find the applications exe name. Such as, explorer.exe, mspaint.exe, and much much more. But I can't find the exe name of any of my apps.
View 7 RepliesIf I control both applications, what is the best way to communicate between 2 exe's written in VB.Net. For example, I want to drop an XML file from one app, and pick it up with the other, but I do not want poll for the file. I've heard of named pipes, but I found it was complicated. What's the most effecient way to do this?

I'm developing a media player app and upon looking at it for a week now, it seems really bland. I would really like to add some animations for it (besides just moving forms with x,y locations) but have no idea where to start.
Are more complex apps/designs/animations better suited for a language like c#/c++? I've never done animations before (except simple form moving) and I think now would be a great time to get some opinions!
You could probably say this would linger more so on 3d images and 3d animations
I've heard a lot about Mono but I have no idea what exactly it is or how to use it. All I know is it's aimed at making .NET apps cross platform. Could someone tell me or point me to some tutorials explaining how to port my vb code to run on other operating systems? Maybe shed some light on all of this?

View 2 RepliesI have a .NET application that was written in C# and VB.NET using WinForms. We want to slowly migrate this to something new, in many iterations. The new code will be entirely C# and WPF. We would like to utilize Prism.
As far as I know, we can't integrate the old WinForm app in Prism.
I am considering making my old app show the new app in certain instances. For example, when you press a tab in the old app, the new app opens on top of the old app, with the same tabs. Over time, only the new app would be necessary.
I'm looking to pick up a programming language. I've viewed some source code of both VB and C# and VB looks like something that I can pick up well.My question is can VB handle creating apps that will interact with the web? Things like signing me into accounts, downloading information, things of this sort?
