VS 2010 Upgrade From 2008 To 2010?
Feb 18, 2012
I have just upgraded to 2010 and i am having a problem with my first conversion. Part of the applications form load which as been converted from 2008 to 2010 is to check if a string in my settings is empty or not (databasepath), if its empty then browse for the file. If the user prsses cancel then it should close the application. This was working fine on 2008 but now it gets to Me.Close, goes to formclosing then comes back to where it was in form load and carrys on until it throws an error further down the code where it shouldnt really get to. Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I just upgraded a project from VB 2008 to VB 2010. Before, the project did not use LINQ. I have started implementing it. So, I have updated the target framework from 2.0 to 3.5, and added a reference to System.Core, and imported the namespace System.LINQ to the entire project and also imported System.Data.LINQ into the form I'm working with (because it was not available in the list for Imported Namespaces in the references tab).
It's not throwing any errors now, but my IntelliSense is not working for LINQ stuff.
For example... I write this:
[CODE]....................
Then, if I type S. on the next line, the IntelliSense doesn't grab what it should for S (Only get Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString, instead of the options I should get like Count, First, FirstOrDefault, etc...). If I Type S.First. then its the same thing, no IntelliSense that lists the available fields for S, just the standard options (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType, ReferenceEquals, and ToString). I should be seeing my column names in my table when I type S.FirstOrDefault.
So any ideas what is going on? When I type the code, for example, MessageBox.Show(S.FirstOrDefault.FirstName), it works perfectly. But it doesn't change the casing of the text (so it would read s.firstordefault.firstname) and no intellisense while doing it. But no errors. BTW - Everything works perfectly when creating a NEW VS 2010 application, it's just my projects upgraded from Visual Basic 2008 that have this issue.

I have been using VB6 forever, but I need to to create new app versions for Vista/7, and beyond. My employer bought Visual Studio 2005 Pro a few years back, but i have never opened it.What would be the best upgrade step for me from VB6? Is 2005 adequate, or 2008, or 2010?
We primarily create apps for building and hardware controls, monitoring, logging, and communications. Will be using MySQL in the cloud with apps too.

I know that VS 2003, 2005 and 2008 had the VB6 to VB.NET Upgrade Wizard. Now, on a email list I'm on a said that he cannot open a .vbp file to use the upgrade wizard in VB 2010. Is there no Upgrade Wizard in VB 2010?

I am upgrading a program from VB6to VB2010.Is there no upgrade wizard for this?When I tried to upgrade to VB2008 I got a message ole_e_cant_bindtosource. Looking online the two suggestions on changing the registry didn't work so I thought I would go straight to VB2010.

I guess this explains why Microsoft didn't include the VB6 upgrade wizard in VS 2010.[URL]...

Scenario: I have about 14000 word documents that need to be converted from "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" to "Microsoft Word Document". In other words upgraded to 2010 format (.docx).
Question: Is there an easy way to do this using API's or something? Note: I've only been able to find a microsoft program that converts the documents to .docx but they still open in compatability mode. It would be nice if they could just be converted to the new format. Same functionality you get when you open an old document and it gives you the option to convert it.[URL]..EDIT2: This is my current function for converting the documents
[Code]...
Also it opens word after about 2 or 3 conversions and starts flashing but keeps converting.EDIT3: Tweaked to code above a little bit and it runs cleaner. Takes 1min10sec to convert 8 files though. Considering I have 14000 I need to convert this method will take a reasonably long time.
EDIT4: Changed the code up again. Uses a threadpool now. Seems to run a bit faster. Still need to run on a better computer to convert all the documents. Or do them slowly by folder. Can anyone think of any other way to optimize this?

We are getting ready to convert to Exchange 2010. Currently we're using VB code to add new users to AD and create mailbox for them with specific settings. I've been trying to figure out - what do I need to change in my code in order for the code to work in Exchange 2010 environment. I've seen some references about using Powershell in a remote environment and guessing that AddPSSnapIn will no longer work. Not sure about hardcoding username and password for remote access. Is there any way to avoid it? Whose u/p should it be anyway? AD user who runs the code? Below I'm posting the code that we using in Exchange 2007. Please let me know what I need to change?

Say I have a Framework 4.0 project that is referencing a class library targeting 3.5. The project will simply not build. It won't give me any valid error message it will just act as though the reference does not exist.
Projects that were working like this in Visual Studio 2008 are no longer working in 2010. Took me forever to figure out what there error is. If I remove the project reference and add it back the intellisense lights up and you can tell a variable referenced in the class library is found. But as soon as you build the project everything is lost. My using statements get underlined, references to the variable all turn grey and project fails to build saying the class cannot be found. Once I make the class library 4.0 as well everything builds. I get the same issue between 4.0 client profile and 4.0 as well.

I've just finished installing VS2010 on my computer. I have a project I built in 2003 that I'm trying to open in 2010.

I've had 2008 express on this PC since it came out -- I basically have ONE important project that now is being troublesome.
Just had an "unhandled exception" and "configuration system failed" -- errors I've never received before and I've just made minor changes to the program.
For one, I was thinking about a fresh install of 2010 express (but remember some real problems when I upgraded from 2005, so ??) be afraid ? very afraid?
ALSO --
What are the mandatory files I need to save in a project folder?
If I delete the bin and obj folders (plus?) and let it write new ones will that sometimes cure some problems?
What is a good way to SAFELY keep all your hard work but get rid of possible clutter and ?

I have an old VB6 project converted into VB2008 express. It contains a datagrid control called AxMSDataGridLib.AxDataGrid. This is probably legacy control from previous VB versions, am I right?
The application reads data to this grid using ADO and it works most of the time. It is supposed to be read only but I cannot parametrize it correctly and sometimes when I exit the application I get an exception. Now, I seriously lack skills of this IDE and .net framework since I don't know how to get more info about the exception. The exception is just a messagebox saying something like "Key column invalid or not sufficient. Update changed too many columns". This exception comes from this datagrid.
Now, since there's a high probability that this is an old control and I cannot get the exception handled, I was thinking to upgrade it to .net DataGridView. Does anyone know if upgrading this old AxDataGrid to .net DataGridView is possible and how to do it?
I am abit afraid to just delete the old control and replace it with new since the application works and I am not attached to any source control (for reverting changes). Maybe it's possible to make a copy of this project with another name and safely play with it?

Is there any other way to run the wizard? Or am I missing something?

I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.

VB.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.

At 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.
