Can't Show Form In Project
Aug 3, 2009I have a main form that i show at run-time (Form 1). While Form 1 is showing, I show another small (Form 2) form to provide the user with some additional options to chose from. You can see how I show this second form below in EXAMPLE 1. When the user is done with the second Form, I want to Hide it and return to the first form Form 1. However when the second form is hidden, it does not return me to the first form when I use the Show method for Form 1.
Note I am in development mode as I test this. When the second form hides, the first form stays collapsed at the bottom of my desktop. I can click on it and it will pop up and everything is fine. However, I cannot seem to get pleasing transition from Form 2 to Form 1 using the code in EXAMPLE 2. Note that I do not Hide Form 1 to begin with. I am assuming that this is why the Show method does not work. However I cannot figure out why it collapses in the first place. Is there a Focus property that I need to set for Form 1?

How To Compile Single Class Into Existing Project
Mar 18, 2010I have a VB.NET solution (call it S1) which produces a .vb file (say File1.vb) to be compiled and then included in another solution (S2). S2 is a console app which I want to run from a cmd prompt, not VS. My plan is to shell out from S1 to run a batch file to do the compile and then copy the .dll file, overwriting the old one in S2 (then I can run S2 in a separate operation). Here's the batch file for the compile:

VB 2005 Every Project Refuses To Compile With Same Error

Bizarre Project Collapse - Can't Edit Or Add Anything Without Compile Error
Apr 20, 2012I have been developing a Visual Basic 2010 .NET GUI based control application that has been growing over the last six months into quite an albatross. Suddenly, I have reached a brick wall where I cannot even edit a text label in the GUI without the following exception at compile time (debug) :
InvalidOperation Exception was unhandled
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index and count must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: count
This is entirely code independent - it happens if I simply drag a new control onto the GUI without even any code behind it - Once it happens the project is hosed - even if I undo or remove what I did.I have reinstalled VB from scratch on a new computer, and same problem. I am using Windows 7 and this happens with VB Express, Even with a trial version of Visual Studio Ultimate. I am completely stuck.

Project References To Newer Framework Library And Does Not Compile?
Jun 29, 2010I've been passed a solution that has a vb.Net 2.0 project that references to a .Net 3.5 library. The library compiles with out problem but the vb project does not. It complains of missing objects which are in the library which are correctly added in the imports. Also I see a yellow yield sign next to the reference library also when I add the reference it complains of the framework version difference. Any help is apritiated. Also I'm using VS10. Imported the projects with no errors. A colleague has this working on VS9.
View 1 RepliesVS Project Fails To Compile: Property Not A Member Of A Referenced DLL?
Aug 27, 2010When I try to compile my VB.NET web project, I get an error that reads:[PropertyName] is not a member of '[Namespace.Class]'The class referenced is part of a dll that the project references. The property definitely exists in the referenced class, and its access modifier is Public. What's more, if I update the reference, or just remove it and add it back, the error goes away: the intellisense shows my property -- all is fine.. that is until I try to compile again. Then the error returns. I've even restarted Visual Studio to no avail. What is going on?[UPDATE]After Will's comment, I've changed the namespace to something I am absolutely sure is unique. Now, I am getting more compiler errors of the same genre. The compiler is not recognizing some of the overloads although they are right there in intellisense. Weird!

VS 2010 Show Dialog From A Hidden Form?
Oct 6, 2011I'm trying to create a program that will look at a website and check it for updates, similar to an RSS feed. It then will show a dialog (Form2) that will inform the user that there is an update.Form1 is used as the configuration form and is able to be shown via a notify icon in the system tray, which is on Form1.Originally I would have Form1 hidden via Me.Hide() and then run a timer which would check for the updates and call Form2.ShowDialog() when there's an update, I found out however, that if Form1 is hidden, the dialog will not show.
Next I tried not Hiding the form, but instead setting its ShowinTaskbar property to False. At this point the program functions correctly, however when I minimize Form1 it sits in a shrunken window near the task bar... Is there any way to completely hide Form1 (when minimized), and allow Form2 to be shown as a dialog?
VS 2008 - Timer - Project A References Project B So Can Open A Large Form In Project B
May 5, 2010For 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.

VS 2010 - BindingSource And Dataset - Show Attributes In Textboxes Inside A Form
May 16, 2011[Code] Somewhere my system haves a function that returns a DataSet with the books of a certain subject and all the Authors that wrote such books. I need to show the book's attributes in some textboxes inside a Form. I use a BindingSource to display the ISBN, Name and Subject of the books in a textbox, yet I don't know how to display the author name of the book I am currently viewing in a TextBox, taking into account I already fetched the Author into the DataSet.
Its pretty much the Child/Parent display problem somewhere discussed in the codebank, but kinda backwards, the thing is that I;m navigating through the CHILD records here, not the parent, yet i have all the data needed in my Dataset.
VS 2010 - Graphics - Code Into The Form Loading Event It Wouldn't Show ?

Then I placed a button and moved the code into the button click event and it worked. Thus, I know the code shouldn't be wrong. How can you make the graphics( as in lines, rectangle,etc) show up when it starts up?
