VS 2008 Vb5 To Vb2008 Conversion?

Apr 10, 2010

Okay so I have decided to upgrade my game from vb5 to vb2008 express edition. When I opened it I was told it needed to be converted so I said ok. However, there are some things in the language syntax that have changed.Obviously. Well here is one of them:

[Code]...

Setting controls to objects allowed me to cut down on typing but it seems you are not allowed to reference things without the "full path". I understand that you now have to set the full path of the object but doesn't setting something to an object already do that? Do I have to just delete the object references on the top and instead of using objCmbGraveU2 I now need to replace it with frmMain.cmbGraveU2?

Get VB 2002 Conversion To VB2008 To Work -- Config/manifest Error Unclear?

Feb 26, 2012

I have a VB2002 program that works. When I run it in VB2008, it updates, and runs and debugs until I shut down. When I try to start it up again from the updated SLN, or try to run the .exe in the BIN folder, I get the message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.

I checked the error logs and it says there is a syntax error in the first line of the vhost.manifest file in the BIN folder. The first line is the xml declaration and it includes the parameter standalone = "yes".

When I put the error message into Google I only get references to Visual C++ compiled programs running on machines without the C++ redistributable dll. That doesn't seem to apply here at all, since I have the VB 2008 express edition installed on this

Text -> Excel Conversion (with Extensive Formatting Required After Conversion)?

May 11, 2012

I'm creating a program in VB.net that does the following:At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients.

Here is my plan:

Completed: Outlook VBA to monitor all incoming email for specific message. Once message is received drop attached .txt file in a specific network folder.

Completed: (VB.net) Monitor folder, when text file is added begin processing

Not Complete: (VB.net) Import text file to Excel

Not Complete: (VB.net) Format Excel Text file.(add in a row of data,format column headers with color/size, add some blank columns, add data validation to some of the blank columns that allow drop down selections)

Completed: (VB.net) Save file.

Completed: (VB.net) Send file to list of recipients.

Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this.

The way stated above. Import to excel -> format Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?

Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?

VS 2008 Looking For A VB2008 Book Explaining Controls?

Jul 8, 2009

I've recently decided to switch from VB6 to VB2008 and am looking for some advice for a certain type of book I seek.Already I've aquired several VB2008 books, but the type of reference book I'm seeking I can't find.For VB6 I have a book called "The visual guide to visual basic". It's a very very very very old book but its gold, platinum and diamonds in one.This book basically takes ALL controls, commands, etc, and in alphabetical order as a sort of encyclopedia, explains its purposes, possibilities, properties together with many examples.

If I was uncertain about a control or command I could simply look it up in this book and almost always find what I was looking for.My question, does anybody know of an equivalent for VB2008?

Inserting To SQLServer Express 2005 Using Visual Studio 2008 VB2008?

Oct 15, 2010

I am new to SQLSever, Visual Studio and Visual Basic. I have read through Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 by Michael Halvorson and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 by Lars Powers and Mike Snell. These books mention the ability to use SQLServer as the DB but I am not clear on the process. I am not knew to programming an have had training in OO programming but have never done any OO programing professionally. So, you can assume I am new to OO programing.

I have created an SQL DB using the Server Explorer in VS, and created a Windows form with Labels, TextBoxes, and ComboBoxes for the application's user to add the demographic information about a new employee. I created a new query with the Query builder that is in the Employee table of the DB which contains all the field for the record for inserting. I have a few questions to understand the process for inserting into the DB.

The DB fields are defined as numeric(6, 0), nurmeric(5, 2), and char(30) for some examples.

The maxlength on the form windows are in sync with the maxlength of the DB for the various fields.

1. What is the process to update the DB with the fields from the form?

2. Do I need to declare and set the results from the form first? If so, how do I call the function (query) that I created in the Employee table.

3. The emp_num I would like to be a dynamically incrementing number starting from 1000. How do I make this a dynamic? The emp_num is also the key on the Employee table.

4. I have a decimal field on the Employee table to hold emp_rate (pay rate). Does the user enter the decimal on the Form or is this resolved by SQL to take the 7 numbers and insert the decimal beause of the table's field definition?

Conversion From VB 2008 To VB2010?

Oct 4, 2011

I created a program using VB 2008 to aid me on design work-related calculations that uses Access mdb file for displaying info. and calculations. But I experienced an alarming problem when I converted it to VB 2010 The program execution works in VB 2010 but it can't display the data from an mdb database file.

To simplify and simulate the problem, I created a simple identical program in VB 2008 and VB 2010 showing a window that displays a data extracted from an mdb database file. Both programs run as intended in each environment. When I open the VB 2008 created program under VB 2010, VB 2010 converts it and when I run the program, it doesn't display the data at all.

Executable Conversion With VB 2008?

May 24, 2012

My issue is when I read from an existing executable and convert it to string and back to executable windows says it is not a recognized 32 bit or 64 bit application? The code below is real code I have rewritten many times but to no avail. If I leave out the part where I convert the bytes to string and just copy the binary and create a new exe with the binary the program works. But the whole concept of string converting back to valid binary has me stumped? This is Visual Basic 2008 code:

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim tempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath
