I'm currently moving over to W7 from Vista I've moved my source over (amazingly hassle free), but the Build option on my installer in my solution produces a different size (200K+) setup.exe file.
Initial question are:
1) Is there a log file I can compare betwen the two builds (V7 -v- Vista)
2) I thought that any compiler settings would 'follow the solution' Is this so?
Is it possible to install VS 2010 first,then install VS2008?i am asking this because in many cases(specially while installing the O.S) i see that after installing the higher version the lower version of O.S cant be installed....and if want to install linux then it might be installed after installing all the windows O.S starting from xp,then vista,then win7 and finally fedora 12..

View 9 RepliesI'm migrating data from an old laptop to a new laptop, including some vb.net projects in visual studio 2008. But when I try to open some of them on the new laptop, I quickly get a dialog stating that the vb compiler has crashed and asking me if I want to close, debug, or check online for solutions. Visual studio then, frustratingly, closes.The projects don't crash when opened on the old laptop, and other migrated projects open without crashing. So it must be some property of the projects that becomes corrupted by moving them.

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: devenv.exe

The old laptop is windows xp and uses visual studio professional. The new laptop is windows vista and uses visual studio team. The 'migration' was a straight copy paste of the source files.

View 2 RepliesHow can I tell what the size of my program is and how much disk space is needed to install. When I publish the program and install it on another machine it will show up in the control panel but does not show what size the program is?Also when I publish updates with it says something like installing 10mb. Is this an additional 10 mb everytime, I guess not, but can someone explain what it all means?

What I am doing is making a Media Player, but I am making it to be some sort like BS Player.
The Video part of the player is on its own with no border and then there is going to be a separate Form for the controls. (I might need help with that later) But the first thing that I have to do is make the window movable and re-sizable by dragging the Media Player (WMP). WMP is taking up the whole screen of the Form so there is no where to click on the original Form. If possible, I would like it to show contents while dragging, ignoring the Windows Appearance and Performance. If that can't be done or is to much work, I will settle for just the border of the Form being showed while moved.
For re-sizing, the media player has to stay the same size as the form, but it also has to stay the same Ratio of the video. So as long as I can specify the current height and width of the window and also get then get the width while the window is being re-sized, I can get the height that the window needs to be by using this formula.
Window.y / Window.x * Sized Window.x = New Window.y .
I know that may sound complicated or maybe I am making it harder then it actually is, this is just how I know how to do it. I will explain what each variable in the Formula means.
Window.y is the current height of the window
Window.x is the current width of the window
Sized Window.x is the width of the window while it is being re-sized
New Window.y is the final height for the new size of the window

View 2 RepliesI am facing the following error in my VB.NET web app:
compiler executable file vbc.exe cannot be found.
I installed .net framework again and even the IDE, but this error remains.
I have written a function inside a class file which I added to my project in VB 2010 Express. Unfortunately, when trying to use this function in the main project, it cannot be seen by the compiler. The function is public. You can probably see from this that query that I don't know much about OO programming (I am assuming that the problem stems from something to do with this).

View 4 RepliesI am programming in both Matlab (Matlab2011a) and Visual Basic (VS2008).I've created a .exe file from my matlab code. It works well when I click on it with my mouse. But I need to run it within Visual Basic. I know it's possible to call .exe files with Shell() or Process.Start(), and it works well for files such as firefox.exe or notepad.exe.
However, it doesn't work when I call my own .exe file ... It's weird because when I look to the Task Manager while trying to call it (within VB), I can see the process starting and ending, but its output doesn't appear.
This error first appear to occur randomly. Steps to recreate:Open Visual Studio and load a solution (some files automatically opened) - this is when the problem occurs Close all open files Restart visual studio and load solution (no issues)Open Exactly the same files again, restart visual studio and load solution so files open automatically (problem occurs!)
However, when trying to narrow it down to a single file (that is automatically opened when the solution is loaded), I couldn't reproduce the problem. Now with all the files open again the problem doesn't occur!!! So it looks like it is fixed - though this happened before and eventually the issue came back.
I think it is to do with one of the user controls with DevExpress controls on it - when the error occurs, the designer displays the error. Though I can't reproduce it at the moment to confirm that.

View 9 RepliesIf I look at the IL that is created in Linqpad for the two following code snippets, I wonder what happens here.
In c#
int i = 42;
results in the following IL code
IL_0000: ret
whereas in VB
Dim i As Integer = 42
it is
IL_0000: ldc.i4.s 2A
IL_0002: stloc.0
Apparently, the c# compiler understands the the value is never used and thus simply returns nothing. In VB.NET the actual code is translated.Is that due to differences in compiler optimization or is there anything else at work?
Update: Just to clarify this - I just enter this one line into LinqPad and look at the IL it creates (most definitely by running the respective compiler). There is no program.

View 7 RepliesI have a text file data to insert into a database for report
ITEM01,Toy
ITEM02,Card
Let me briefly list down the steps i took to achieve my result.
1) Insert data into Database using text file
2) Display the records from the NEW Database(Item2) using DataGridView
3) Using datagridview, i use to checkboxes to determine the selectedRow
4) Once the selectedRow are selected. I press on Delete Button
Delete Button - Update the Item2 Table field 'Deleted' to 1 - Delete the ItemID by using datagridview selectedrow cell value Which means in 1 loop, i process two database transaction.. Is there something wrong? How do i shorten the process to just delete the item without querying two database.
i have a problem where i've hard coded the file path of an access database i'm using with a VB.net program. this means that if i publish the program the database doesn't publish with it and i have to "ship" the program with the the database file separately and create another form so the user can say where the file is held. i don't want to do this.is there any way to get the access database file to publish with the program and then access that file path by code? for example the database file is held in the same folder as the installed program and then is accessed by code so there is no need to use a specific file path.
