I am working on a VB6 COM Project, that I cannot restart for the most obvious reasons, it's far too hard to restart and then that wouldn't work right, in the first place. How am I able to convert a FRM and FRX file, to the .NET equallivant???

I have to migrate a software from VB6 to a most modern technology.
1) Does has Visual Basic 2010 Migration Wizard to migrate VB6? I have downloaded the free trial of VB 2010 and I can't open a VB6 proyect
2) It is a good idea use VB2010 or is better go with VB2008?
I have to say that I will learn the language also, my guts says that I should code again everything using VB2010 ( so I am learning the lastest language) although I am not sure?
We were using Ofiice 2003 since long but now we are migrating to Office 2010.The problem that we facing now is that in our Workbook based on Excel 2003 we had a few ranges with names like BCD1, DOT1 but now in Excel 2010 BCD1 and DOT1 are cell names. The new version changes the BCD1 to _BCD1 automatically but we have to manually change the Macro code for the same which is a cumbersome problem.
PS: Some code that would automatically change the required in Macro Code.

View 5 RepliesVB.Net 2010 program .exe on PC with Excel 2007 gives error when cannot find Excel version 14, which is Excel 2010 I have developed a program in VB.Net 2010 which reads from an Excel spreadsheet. It works fine in the IDE on my computer. I built an .msi and executed it on my computer. I get "Error: 53 - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
The only version of Excel on my computer is 2007, which is version 12.0.6557.5000. The version the error says it needs, version 14, is actually the version of Excel 2010.I have put in MsgBox statements to find where the error occurs.

I am going to be taking up a new job as a VB.net developer. I have worked with C# for about 3years. I did mention to the interviewer that I haven't worked with VB.net, but he seemed to think that its easy to migrate from C# to Vb.net.

My question is one of a fairly simple nature, how do you make a thread safe singleton constructor with Visual Basic?
I tried a similar pattern to the one above, only to find that I had a lot of difficulty declaring the static variable instance as a null, this in turn would ruin my public Instance property, as I would have no way of telling if the class had been instantiated or not...
Anyhow, even a simple explanation as to the correct way of doing this would be nice, I'm sure I can fill in a lot of the grey areas, I just need more information than what I'm finding in MSDN, it seems Singletons are only really described in detail for the other languages...

View 10 RepliesAt present I have wrote an application (in-house CRM, vb .net 2010) which allows me to send emails under the selected customer & I categorised these emails.As these are categorised I can return data to display email history in my program by using search criteria:
Dim oMail As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)
Dim sSearch As String
sSearch = "[Categories] = '" + "[" + tAccount.Text.Trim + "]" + "(" + tShipTo.Text.Trim + ")'"
Dim oItems As Outlook.Items = oMail.Items.Restrict(sSearch)
However the limitation to the above is it only looks at sent items & no other folder.My ideal solution would be to display all email correspondence for a certain contact.
The situation: when i build my project (or publish) Visual Basic 2010 makes and exe and a couple ddl files. when i run the project with the .exe and the other files the program works perfectly.

Problem:I am not getting the cursor (4 arrowheads) for moving the form.I am using the Panel1_MouseHover to display the cursor. Right now if I choose any other cursor then it is working but the same cursor also displays when I hover the mouse over any other control. I want the cursor to show only in the areas of the Panel where there are no controls.How do I show Tooltips for the images? The play,stop,next, previous,playlist,Hideme(with the smiley),volume are all images and not buttons?

View 1 Repliesthis is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.

it's just for a program registration. i would store all of the registration codes in the access database, then export it to XML, then upload it to my web host. I would then somehow connect it to my Visual Basics login form (Which I have already made). If this can't be done, having them register through the form and having all the allowed codes on the internet (So i can easily edit them)!

View 3 Replieswell until a few day ago. I don't know what I have introduced to cause the problem but now, whenever I load the project, VS 2010 (SP1) crahes. If I delete the project's suo file, the project loads (really quickly) and all is well until I exitVS 2010. When I re-run it and try to load the project, it crashes again unless I delete the suo file.The program can be built for x64 and x86. Now, when I reload the project (after deleting the suo file), it comes up in Debug - Any CPU mode. I can change from Debug to Release and from Any CPU to x86 but if I try and change from x86 to x64, VS 2010 crashes.This is not always the case though. If I build the x86 version and then switch to x64, all is well and I can build the x64 version. Obviously, there's something wonky going on.

3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.
4. I've been working on an application for a week now, but suddenly I can no longer access my Design View(Shift-F7). All my codes are written on the [form name].Designer.vb. I can still view my codes but I cant access my form layout. On the solution explorer, my forms no longer have the 'form icon'. When i press Shift-F7 nothing happens. Right-clicking the form on the solution explorer doesn't show 'View Designer' option. How can I fix this?

View 4 RepliesI have made a windows application (running parfectly on my system). Now i want to run it on another computer.
Here's what i tried: I noticed that an exe file of the application is created inside the Debug folder after the application is deployed. So i thought that copying and pasting the .exe on any other system should work fine but trying to run the exe on that system gave an error and it would not run.
P.S. This application did not have a database. Also, i have made another application which interacts with an access database. How will i be able to run that on another system?
We're building an application using VB.net and WPF. Obviously we've found that there are huge differences between the syntax in the two, and we have a few problems trying to do things in Form apps in WPF.If possible, could you pass us some resources on things like switching between WPF windows, we'd use Show() and Close() in WinForms, and referencing variables from other forms, i.e. otherForm.StrVariable references StrVariable from otherForm.

the fields in the tables are all text fields.is there any way to fix this error? perhaps it is in my query but i really cant find a solution.is there an alternative to get what i want my program to do?it is basically entering an ID number and finding the record with the same idnumber and putting the system time on the timein field for that record.
