Is there a way to change reference at runtime ? I am automating Word from VB.Net. I think what I have coded will be same for both Word2003 and Word2007. I used Word 12 Object Library reference(which is of Word2007). So, I want to know how to make it compatible with a machine installed with Office2003. That is, it will check the whether the machine has 2003 installed. If so, use that reference. Otherwise use 2007.

I'm writing an application for a device running Windows XP. There are 2 versions of the device and each version has its own API to communicate with the device's software. The application I'm writing needs to pull the same data from the API. My question is how to write a application that will detect at runtime which version of the device it is on and use the appropriate API.
I've created an interface containing all of the common methods and also classes for each device that implement the interface. Now I need to know how to activate the correct one at runtime.
Public Interface IAPI
Sub InitializeMachine()
Function GetActiveProgram() As String

What I want to do is to make my application to SendMessage to another application. I can send message perfectly when i set keys.F1 or F2 etc in code but, I wonder, is it possible that user change this key in runtime? I was thinking about doing something like:
If combobox1.text = "F1" then
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.F1,0)
elseif combobox1.text = "F2" then
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.F2,0)
etc...
But I have 19 usable keys and alot of events with SendMessage function so code will be so big and there's possibility for slowing application. Is there anything that I can do, like...
Dim hKey as STRING? INTEGER? WHATEVER...
SendMessage(pHwid,WM_KEYDOWN, Keys.hKey,0)
?

View 8 RepliesI want to program a water supply pipeline network in a treeview control. It has five node (junctions). The parent-child relation is based on a parameter (say pressure). Initially, the node 1 is parent and its child nodes are 2 and 3. The node 3 has child nodes 4 and 5. At run time the pressure changes. Now, node 3 is parent and its child nodes are 1, 4 and 5. The node 1 has child node 2.
View 7 RepliesWe 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]..
Can I reference a dll programatically in VB.net? Or change the Local Copy path for a dll reference?

I created a .net assembly, which works perfectly if I create before runtime. But i'd like to know if it's possible to reference at runtime. The reason is because i'm creating an application which will be used in several servers, and it will be reference that same .net assembly, but the .dll file will be in different location per server. I know that when I reference before runtime, the .net assembly it will be pointing to is from the original (or at least that's what I think).
View 2 RepliesBeen searching a trying examples for a couple of days and always fall back to the "null reference" error on this one. I have a set of instructions coming from a SQL database and the number of instructions is a variable. Therefore, I have a TabControl which I add TabPages to at RunTime depending on the number of instructions there are. The TabPages are then created with the names; Step1, Step2, Step3, etc.Each TabPage is made with the same controls and all of the controls are named the same from page to page (e.g. "instr" is the name of a TextBox control that exists on every TabPage).I can successfully create a GetControl method that will return the correct TabPage, but I cannot reference any controls on that TabPage.I can only change properties of the TabPage.If I try to reference a specific control on that TabPage, like the "instr" TextBox control, I get the null reference error.[code]

I have multiple urls to the same webservice, each with it's own "token". I need to switch from one url to another during runtime. I have planned to do this by storing my URLs inside a XML-file, and then read it, copy innertext of an element and overwrite the WS url in my app.config. My app reads and write to xml just fine, it is when I actually use a method from the webserivice proplems start to appear.

I am creating a program that will be sold as a subscription. I am trying to decide how to prevent users from passing the program to others without purchasing it. I was thinking that on the very first run, the program could pull the MAC address from the computer it is run on, and create a constant at run time. This constant is then hard wired into the program and is used for comparison every time the program is run thereafter. If the MAC address do not match, it is on a different computer.
How do I recompile my .exe to include a globally declared constant used for comparison? And how do I use this variable throughout my program?Or is there a simpler way to create my program to require Key Codes for renewal once per year?
