i have search over the internet it seems there is not much information about this kind of error. i tried reinstalling vs 2010 but it doesn't work either. yesterday i installed microsoft office 2010, does it have anything to do with visual studio? another thing that i have to mention is that i had visual studio 2008 installed too, when i opened that it says something like " invalid licence ". so uninstalled it but it didn't solved the problem. so can someone say what the hell is the problem about ?

I'm struggling with a problem at remot installations. I released my Beta software which was always running fine on a lot of systems Win XP , Win2003, Win 7.Now I have a strange problem at some remote installation. After starting the program it will crash right away, not even geting throug the new or load Events.All my integrated debugging is useless. I don't know how I should debug such a problem.I guess there are some files missing at the remote systems. I have no idea which files. It could also be because of some third party components. I only have an event (see below) which is not of much help (to me).I found some other threads about the same CLR20r3 event but it was not very usefull. I need to get this application up and running. What steps should I take. I have some very good Beta testers.

Basically, I have a Web Browser object on a Visual Basic form. However, about 5 seconds after it finishes loading ANY webpage, the entire program stops responding. I figured the issue was related to internet explorer, so I updated to Internet Explorer 9 Beta and the issue is fixed (this is a very strange fix)!!! However, Internet Explorer 9 is not available for Windows XP.

I am working on a project in Visual Basic .NET 2010 on Windows 7 SP1 that previously ran fine in Windows XP SP3 but has recently started crashing immediately upon running the executable. I have made several additions/changes since the last time it was tested on XP, so it is difficult to pinpoint what might be the problem. (I commented out all of the start form's _Load event, which causes the form to load with no events triggered in the IDE, but the program still crashes in XP, so I suspect it's something other than my code, though I don't know what else could have changed to trigger it.)

My program keeps crashing every time I try to run it on another machine other than my own dev system. It runs just fine on mine but crashes on everybody else's when I install and run it. To make matters worse, it only gives me the generic "[name here] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". So i never can find out why and where it is crashing!!!!

I can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.
But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.

I developed an application in Visual Basic 2010 Express which has two features:
1) It is portable and uses some .dlls which must be in the same folder
2) Requires Administrator in order to run
I want my application to run on windows startup. So i created the registry string value and made some tests that gave me the following results:
1) Windows XP -> Runs on startup without any errors
2) Windows 7 Starter -> It simply ignores my application
3) Windows 7 Premium -> The run confirmation box from unknown publisher appeared and when i selected to run, AVG gave a virus warning
4) Windows 8 Consumer Preview -> It simply ignores my application

I'm trying to make a program that will open a first-run form when the program is run for the first time. I'm planning on just using a setting in My.Settings.VariableName to keep track of the boolean value. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to choose what Form to open.
My first instict would be to use a Sub Main() as my program instance, and then choose and open forms from there, but I can't find a way of doing it. and Many a post suggest not doing it.
Second I tried using ApplicationEvents Myapplication_Startup, but this makes the form pop up before my splash screen, and doesn't stop my main form from showing.

I haven't used VB in decades and I'm restarting with what I thought would be a simple program. I have two fields on a little form, both of which display a date (dd/mm/yyyy). Field1 is an entry field except on load where is contains a date calculated from field2 (which is 'now' upon application load). Field1 is 'now' + 10 days. This is the default state.
Once loaded (with the data described above), the user can input only in field1. Field2, an inactive field used only for display, is field1 - 10 days. After 15 seconds, fields 1 and 2 revert to their default states as described in the first paragraph. I'm getting all messed up with the 'on load' state. I'll start playing with the timer once I get the initial stuff done.

I'm checking if the application needs to update before the user starts the software. But, they have to enter a few items of data and then press enter. When they do, if an update is available, the application closes, my update app runs and then the new version is opened. I want to just update when the application is loading, so they don't have to waste time entering data if the application is just going to close anyway. But when I run the block of code to check for updates, I get an SqlException.

where Google Chrome history is stored? I would like to make a console application that runs on startup that empties the file. I doubt it is plain text, most likely xml, so I would like a few code snippets as I have never worked with xml before.

Trying to get it to behave like C#, where there is a Program class with a static Main method.However, in the project properties, I cannot set Program.vb to be the startup object, only the forms (it is a forms application).

I have an MDI parent screen that loads on startup and a lot of child forms that load when opening. So as the child forms load there's a lot of flashing and it looks really ugly. Once they're loaded all I have to do is use a bring to front, maximized command and it works smoother than closing a form and opening a new one every time a different form is selected. I've tried creating a splash screen, minimizing the forms on load, etc and everything still works in order so first the splash screen then the forms load.
How would you set it up so a splash screen stays on top of all other forms for like 5 seconds while the forms load in the background without seeing them load? Right now the screen shows then when it's done it moves on to step 2 which is loading the child forms. If no splash screen, how do I make it load so you don't see all the child forms opening at once?

I have written a very small windows console application that got uploaded to an internal company portal. Basically this thing only looks for a registry key and if it doesn't find it, then it creates it. After that it populates a String value and exits. My issue is that when I provide this tool to our L2 support group they put it on an intranet portal.

I have recently implemented to following code on a good deal of my forms.
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object
Return Nothing
End Function
It has worked great to solve some of my odd application hangs when the application has been running > 1 week.However, when the user closes the program I now get an Application Crash screen.how to stop this? how to put it back to "normal" with a global variable?
Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object
if readytoExit then

Maybe a strange question, but I need to test the stability and error procedures of the host process (caller) that accesses COM objects. Therefore I need some easy/short methods to let the COM object(s) crash itself.
Addition 1: With crash I mean the type of crash that can take the caller down also.
Addition 2: I own both the code of the caller as the COM server.

I'm currently trying to send the SB_GETTEXT message to a status bar, but it always crash and I don't why (the SB_GETTEXTLENGTH works fine, but not the SB_GETTEXT). Below is a VBA code I tried to use in Excel to read the status bar text of Worpad. The first code using WM_GETTEXT works well, but the second code that uses SB_GETTEXT always crashes.

The scenario is this: VB.net 2003 connecting to access 2003 using Jet 4.0 SP8 and MDAC 2.7 SP1.On a particular client machine with XP SP2, while trying to fill a dataset it crashes fantastically without ANY error message. the exe just disappears from the task manager.I use a Module to launch the MainApp form, if I try to connect within the Module BEFORE calling the:
Code:
dim MainApp as new MainApp
application.run(MainApp)
...the datasets work normally, but if I do it inside the Form_Load (or anywhere inside the form) it presents the previously mentioned fatal crash.I have updated the clients machine with the SP1 for .NET 1.1 with no luck.Now, in a desperate attempt, I have installed VB.NET 03 in the client machine and with the dev env it works fine, but if I try to run the executable from outside, it crashes again. No error message from the exception handling inside the app, no unhandled errors from the framework or the OS, it just vanishes from the task manager.I tried to reinstall MDAC and Jet but the installers find the previous files and won't update with the new ones. Tried also reinstalling .NET framework and the error persists.
