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 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?
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?
I want a custom menu when I right click. Like, you know when you right click on your desktop, and you see a bunch of menus, like properties and whatnot. How do I do that with VB.Net? Also, how to add custom?
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?
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 have one about one apllication send SMS trough GSM modems. The application works fine, and without problems. The questions now, is: - I use Huawey E220, to send the SMS, with AT commands. Now, I wanna migrate for better hardware, and try use another GSM Modem. In this case, I was try with Siemens M20 Terminal. But, with this kind of equipment the applicatiosn doesn't work. It was necessary some extra code for establish communication?
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.
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'm using vb 2010, lets say i have a TextBox1.Text and i want that the information entered there converts to hex so im talking about converting string to hex, i know for integers u can use hex() but not for string, im just trying to convert text to hex, now in python i would use textbox1.text.encode("hex"), im new in the programation world and i started with python so i dont know how to do this in vb2010,lets just say im making a hex to text conv and textbox1.text is where i'm gonna type the text,
I have a few small apps developed with VB2005 and Crystal Reports(that comes with VB2005) and installed at my clients. If I convert them to VB2010 and set the app to work with .Net Framework 2.0 like my VB2005 apps did, will I have to do any installation process at the clients or can I just copy to new VB2010 app to clients machine?
I ask this because when they want minor changes, I usually just install the updated exe over the internet.
I am currently creating a program to send keystokes to a program at certain intervals. I need the thread to delay between keystrokes, and i need to be able to have the user input the amount of delay from the GUI via textbox. I have it running perfect with Thread.Sleep(), but it just isn't consistent enough. How can I code it to be accurate to roughly 5ms up or down? thanks, and here is the code. This is in VB 2010 by the way.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional, version Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
[Code]...
After installation completed, i could not find the crystal reports any where in the VB2010, so i changed the .Net Frame work from Client profile to .Net framework 4.0 as i found in some blogs, but still did not solve the problem any how.
Let me preface this by saying I'm VERY limited in my programming knowledge/experience using any language. I mean I have extremely basic capabilities and don't quite understand this stuff inside and out like most of you do.Anyway, I'm trying to code a fantasy football draft program in VB 2010 that utilizes the MS Internet Transfer Control 6.0. It will retrieve the HTML from a website, say ESPN, and parse the data into player names, rankings, and other stats. Should all be simple strings/sub-strings. It will then populate a DataGridView control so that each row in the DGV has the player's name, ranking, projections for the season, etc. After this has been populated, the program will be designed to allow me to draft players and assign them to the various teams automatically. I am the commissioner and we do an off-line draft, so I will just make picks for everyone and submit them online later.
I am writing an app in VB2010. My code parses a text file, assigns data to variables My??, and then attempts to store this data in an access 2010 (actually access 2007 format) table. Yet, whenever my code gets to MyRow.Item("Artist") = MyArtist I get an error 5 'Artist' does not belong to Table MyTable, but the field/column does exist in the table as do all the others.
01Dim tbl As DataTable = New DataTable(MyTable) 02tbl.Rows.Add() 03Dim lastRow As Integer = tbl.Rows.Count - 1
So I'm developing an application in VB2010. The idea is to perform CRUD operations (more or less) to an Access2003 Database. The database is relational, yet I haven't grasped the best architecture to make an application to interact with it. I tough doing a Business layer with a domain model would work. Controllers for each Use case (which are basically CRUD operations) would create Domain Layer object. Yet I don't know yet how to manage the mapping of the objects to/from the database.
I'm having an issue trying to get a wage calculator to recognize an overtime formula. The calculator has to have the overall function of figuring the gross pay, Federal Tax Withheld (15%), and the net pay based on the hourly wage and hours worked for the week. The issue I am having is the wage * 1.5 entry (underlined) where it sates it is not an array or a method and cannot have an argument list. If anyone can take a look at this for me and guide me as to why this error keeps coming up and what I can do to make sure it doesn
I am trying to deploy a VB2010 programme that uses the 2010 Access Database Engine. The programme falls over when starting, with an error trying to access the Database. If I Install the programme on a machine that has Office 2003 installed - still installing the 2010 Database Engine - then it runs OK.Does the Database Engine work?
