VS 2010 Reusing A Very Specific Project For Multiple Solutions?
Aug 1, 2011
First of all, I wasn't sure whether this was VB.NET or General Developer content... It's not technically about VB.NET code, but it's not very general either since it is specifically about Visual Studio. Feel free to move it if required.A while back I realized that all of my database connection code was getting very biolerplate. had 'developed' my own method of connecting to an Access database and storing the results. Basically, for each table I create one 'Manager' class and one 'Entity' class. The Entity class represents a single record in the database and has properties for each field.

I am developing a Multi-Project solution (A, B) in Visual Studio 2008.
I need to run a second project from the start up one and then the first project should be closed.
The matter is that I want to Exit the A.exe and kill the process and the dll that are depending on it. And then Run the B.exe.

I have a set of controls and code behind them that I'd like to reuse on multiple forms. How can I do this? I know of reusing code via modules, but I'm not sure how I can add the same controls and their underlying code. If I achieve this, will changing data on one form affect the values of another form when they're both open? For example...
Cbox1's selected item affects the choices within Cbox2, and Cbox2's selected item affects the choices within Cbox3 (and so on).
So if I do something on Form1's Cbox1 and it changes Form1's Cbox2, will it NOT change Form2's Cbox2?

i have tried googling this and cant find a way to do this, i hav 2 projects in the same solutions, i am trying to write a bit for Solution1_Project1_Form1 to open a windowsForm in Solution1_Project2_Form2.
Start main application & View 2nd application FROM within the main application.
Start the 2nd application WITHOUT using the main application.
both applications need to read and write to a database, i dont think this makes a big diferance but thought i would mention it

I am very familiar with modules from my time with VB and my other programming, but what is the most commonly used practice and the best way to go about this for a website application with ASP.NET? Say I have multiple pages (in multiple directories; some in the root directory, some in child directories from the root) that will call the same set of functions and subroutines, how do I go about putting this reusable code in a place where the pages and their respective classes can call the functions/subroutines?

I've got a StartUp project (StartupProjectA) in Visual Studio that references projects A, B and C. I've got all of those in SolutionA.My predecessor has previously added this solution to SourceSafe so that there's a SolutionA folder in SourceSafe, containing a StartupProjectA folder, and A folder, a B folder and a C folder.
It turns out, though, that StartupProjectB and StartupProjectC all live in the same directory as StartupProjectA on the local machine, so on the PC I'm using I have a [GeneralSolution] folder which contains a StartupProjectA folder, a StartupProjectB folder, a StartupProjectC folder, and A folder, a B folder and a C folder.My question is what do I do to get the Solutions for StartupProjectB and StartupProjectC into SourceSafe? I've tried adding them, but they all create their own copies of folders A, B and C. What have I missed?
I'm trying to use the Visual Studio SourceSafe integration to get these solutions into SourceSafe. Doing so creates multiple redundant copies of A, B and C. I would like to have one folder in SourceSafe, containing SPA, SPB, SPC, A, B and C folders. I'm not really sure how to do this, because I can only add entire Solutions to SourceSafe via Visual Studio. There's no option that I can see for "Add this folder to SourceSafe and recognise that these other three folders are already referenced in the repository and so don't need to be added."

A colleague has written a useful tool. He wrote it as a standalone tool, but it works even better as an includable dll, though it needs a bit of other functionality for it to be a really good drop-in component. What I am wondering is whether a project can be compiled as both an exe and as a dll?
There are alternatives, such as having a dll version and an exe version, since the dll version needs to include a few different methods that the exe version doesn't need, but this alternative sucks, since it would mean changing two sets of code.
Another alternative is to build the dll, then change the exe to be a project that references the dll....and does nothing other than calling one method in the dll. That kind of sucks, too, but not as bad.
I want to be able to use his module in some of my programs, and it really should be built as a component rather than a standalone app, but I want to know whether there are other options that I haven't considered.

Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controlsNow when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.

Does the Express Version support adding multiple soultions (.sln) to a project or is this only available with the Professional version.I see that I can add a DLL as a reference that was built in 2010, but it is not letting me step into it with the debugger (or recompile changes to its source).

I'm developing application that is plugable. The plugins are loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom(). In my solution I have 4 projects. A WPF, 2 DLL and another DLL that is a plugin for the app. The plugin project references one of the other DLLs. When I build the Solution and run I was getting an error trying to use the plugin dll because it was expecting an older version of the referenced project. I had to clean and rebuild the plugin project to get it to run correctly.

I was wondering what the best approach is for sharing a menu across all wpf windows/views. My Application doesnt really fit the navigation model, so will probably use a Ribbon control. I am leaning towards creating a user control for the menu and dropping it on each view, but have also seen Josh Smith's msdn article, where he loads user controls.

I am upgrading a system that has a Product Table with a Product No Field.This is a string field but most of the existing product Nos are numeric but all over the place.I want to provide a default numeric Product No when the Users are creating a new product record.All I can think of is to use the Identity Field [ProductID] and test to see if it has been used and if so keep incrementing to find the next free numerical, available No.A better solution would be to start at 1 and increment to find the first available but it looks to be several hundred records into the Table. how to find the first available number?

I'm attempting to run different tasks in there own processes, waiting until each is done while keeping the UI responsive. So far it works exactly how I want it until I try to reuse some of those processes....here is a sample of the
Private WithEvents TaskOneProcess As Process
Private WithEvents TaskTwoProcess As Process
Private WithEvents TaskThreeProcess As Process
[code]....
This is a over simplification of what's going on but it gets the point across. So it works exactly as expected, a button is pressed and the sequence starts. As each task gets disposed it recalls the StartFixing statement which then calls the next one in order until they are all done. BUT when I go to do it a second time the Disposed never fires assuming since it's already disposed. How do I recreate the same named process so it can be reused and still have it fire the disposed event?

Not sure if this has been asked before (couldn't find an answer), but is there a way to reuse a user.config file from a previous version of the application? For example a user.config file is stored in:
C:UsersJohnnyAppDataLocalCompanyApplicationName.exe_Url_wxcnyrmstqy3oj1qwckdjq3gjqkq4fel1.0.0.0user.config After a new version is installed it gets stored in:
C:UsersJohnnyAppDataLocalCompanyApplicationName.exe_Url_wglmejvw01nagu5t1y5yl12chynjomny1.0.0.1user.config The user then has to enter all settings again, even if the new version does not save more settings. An other problem is that although the user.config file is very small, it does get messy after a while when newer versions of the application get installed. Is there a way to clean up the unused user.config files and their folders?
It's the same problem with System.Windows.Forms.Application.LocalUserAppDataPath, that I'd like to use to save other files (containing Listview data), which points to:
C:UsersJohnnyAppDataLocalCompanyApplication1.0.0.0 The Listview data and other files created by the app can't be used anymore.This can be solved by getting the user's appdata folder with Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) and creating a new folder there with the name of the application. But this means there's one folder where the application is installed (user can choose this folder in the installer), one folder to save my own files to and one folder where VB stores the user.config file.
Can something be done about this "mess" or is this just something I have to live with?

I save the size of a form to a variable (One Size or two Integer variables--doesn't matter), and then I close the form. Before reopening the form, I set the form size to the size I saved before--which by all accounts of logic and reason should exactly the same. Except, no, it's not. On one system the form "grows" horizontally and vertically by 15 or 16 pixels. On another system the form grows only vertically 15 or 16 pixels. I'd love for someone to explain this perfectly insane, yet MS typical, behavior to me.

get specific data from below case?. As it is imported from text file, all row data located at A column per Row and total number of rows are more than 30000. From below, I want to get Company name and Address data only out of long text data.
For your understanding, a)Each row start with 6digits number like 3336041, 3336058 etc and end with pin code 6digits. b) there are minimum 4 or more digit's space after company name and each address data.
Result should be got <company name> and <Address field> data only.
for example 1st block should have below format;
PROCON INSTRUMENTATION PRIVATE LTD
244, G S T ROAD, URAPAKKAM,GUDUVANCHERY TAMILNADU, TAMIL NADU Pin:603202
2nd block: to display in another lines as like above - marked as bold in sample text
3rd block: to display in another lines as like above - marked as bold in sample text

In our database we have gigantic tables (it was initially built 20 years ago). We are on the process of developing it.
Some tables contain rowversion and optimistic concurrency. We were wondering if there is a way to just correspond rowversion to the modification of some specific columns, but not all of them. In Normal Case, T-SQL which is generated then would be huge.
