VS2010 Projects With Common Files?
Jun 6, 2012
I have a vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed.This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application.Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict.

In the old VB, there is a .bas file wherein i place all the global constants there and whenever i create a new project i just include that .bas file so that all the constants i placed are automatically added to my project. Is there any way to do this on VS2008? Ill be doing dozens of Class Libraries that that needs to reference global constants.
1. Is there any other way of referencing the global constants rather than making it a shared variable in a class?
2. Also, is there a way to include a .VB file without the copying it on the local project file? My point being is that this .VB file is also being used by other Class LIbraries that i created.

I am running Windows 7 eval. copy and have been for months. It's great. I saw that the Beta on Visual Studios 2010 and decided to make the jump from Visual Studios 6. I watched all the MS videos on upgrading from VBP to Net and downloaded all of the upgrade programs and advisors. The programs I need to migrate require only minor changes. The video shows Visual Studios 2005 upgrading a VB6 Project because the upgrade wizard intercepts the open and upgrades the file. There are several problems:
1. It appears the VS2010 and VB2010 do not have this capability
2. Running Windows 7, VS2005 and the Associated framework will not load correctly
3.VB2005 does not load correctly
4.The upgrade msi will not load because the specified framework version is not loaded. Apparently it does not recognize Framework 4.
5. So I cannot migrate my VB6 programs to NET using VS/VB 2010. My only solution is to build up another system with XP and do the migration on that system.
So my basic question is do I have to build another system or is there something I am missing about VS2010? Does it have the capability to migrate VB6 programs like VS2005?

if the toolbox in visual studio 2010 can be used inside a winforms project? (importing dll).Actually I'm using a splitcontainer that can be resized but id does not look very well because the menu is in the left side and the user needs more screen space, so I though in a visual studio toolbox-like?

Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

I'm new to the .NET platform (old-time ASPer) and for a project have a simple pair of .aspx scripts that take some querystring data and process it. They both make use of the same Subs, Functions in them, so naturally I'd like to move the code to a common resource.vb file. Having done some reading, it looks like my options are a Code-Behind type setup, and placing the Subs, Functions in a .vb file and placing that file in App_Code.So, the Code-Behind model doesn't seem to make sense here, as the functions are shared by both files. Placing the Subs and Functions in /App_Code/resources.vb and I am getting the following error when trying to call any of the routines:

i have a vb script that is imbeded in an html page (hta). when i use the common dialog flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect the file list is present in the filename object and are separated by a space. however when i use dialog flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect Or cdlOFNExplorer the files that i selected on the dialog box, are not present in the filename object. the only thing that's there, is the path to the files. here's the code:
Const cdlOFNAllowMultiselect = 512Const cdlOFNExplorer = 524288Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")ObjFSO.Filter = "All Files|*.*"ObjFSO.FilterIndex = 1
ObjFSO.InitialDir = "c:" ObjFSO.Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect or cdlOFNExplorerinitFSO = ObjFSO.ShowOpen selected_files = ObjFso.FileName msgbox selected_files
how can i get the files names?

I'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

I am working on a solution that contains 2 projects one to be built as an exe and the other as a service. Both projects will share a class for certian functions and properties. I would like to have both projects use the same physical file so when I make a change in one of the projects it is also made in the other.
This was simple to do in VB6 but as of yet I see no way to do it under dot net. It seems to want to make a copy of the file and place it into the project folder for the second project resulting in the need to either copy after every change or manually make the changes twice.
Anyone know if there is a way to have common files area for a solution so that any project within the solution has access to the actual file rather than a copy of it?

Is there a way that I can include code or other files from other projects WITHOUT referencing them? I am trying to combine our projects into 1 EXE without DLLs. I do not want to use a self extracting EXE either. Let me know if there is a way to do it similar to the C++ #Include.

I have some assemblies that were developed using .NET 1.1. These are business layer assemblies that are required for other .NET 1.1 applications to work. I have been developing our new applications using .NET 2.0/3.5. I would just convert the business layer projects over to 2.0 and be done with it, but those old 1.1 applications just won't die.As such, has anyone ever had two different .vbproj files (one a .NET 1.1 project file and the other a .NET 2.0/3.5 project file) that pointed to the same set of files so they could be compiled appropriately?

When a project is built in VB, the executable file is created in the \bin\Release folder. Apart from the executable there are other files that get created:
MyProject.application
MyProject.exe.manifest
MyProject.pdb
MyProject.xml
Are these files required to run the executable? Is having just the MyProject.exe file in the setup enough? And what are these files for?

I created a visual basic express edition project and when completed pressed Save All. Then proceded to work on another version and saved that one as well, Now the project cannot find the original version which is the only working one. I have all of the projects backec up but they will not load. Where do I have to move the files so Visual basic can find them?

Wondering if it is possible. It works on the idea that all files share common code. The program would ideally analyse the source file and compare it to the reference files. It would then find common parts of the code and write it to a rebuild file. At the end the rebuild file and the reference files would then be able to rebuild the source file without it being present.
For Example.
source file code = xxyyzyzyxw
ref file 1 = xyxxzyzxwyy
ref file 2 = zxxwyzzywxx
The program would then analyse these files and make a rebuild file like the following
source(0,1) = ref1(2,3)
source(2,3) = ref1(10,11)
source(4,7) = ref2(5,6) + ref2(5,6)
source(8,9) = ref2(2,3)
Thus you would be able to build the source file using these instructions and the reference files.

Note: This question is similar to How to prevent the copy of XML documentation files in a release mode build?, but it's not the same and the answers there don't apply. Read on to find out why. (Please ask in the comments or in chat if you disagree, I'll be glad to elabroate).
I have a library project (myLibrary) and an ASP.NET web application project referencing this library (both are in the same solution). "Generate XML documentation file" is checked for the library project, because I want to have those nice IntelliSense features while developing.
When I publish the web application (Context Menu on the project/Publish...), it copies only the files required for running the application (no source code, etc.) to some publish directory. That's good. Unfortunately, it also copies the XML documentation file of the library. Since I consider our library's documentation to be a trade secret, I wouldn't want it to end up on a customer's server. Thus, we have to remember to manually remove this file from the publish directory before deploying it.
Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from copying this file when publishing the ASP.NET project, but still retain the benefit of XML documentation IntelliSense when developing?

Is it possible to set up a common event handler for a group of like controls like buttons or text boxes so a single event handler is called regardless of which of the controls is clicked, changed, etc.In my PrinterDialog study project I have 5 text boxes named TB1, TB2, TB3, TB4 and TB5 in a text box array called TBs so they can be accessed with TBs(0), TBs(1), etc.My question is if I can set up a single click event that responds when any of the 5 text boxes are clicked to avoid duplicate code n 5 different click events.

Starting from a table like this:
| Code | Year |
---------------
| A01 | 2001 |
| A01 | 2002 |
| B01 | 2002 |
| C01 | 2003 |
I have to arrive to this:
| Code | Year |
---------------
| A01 | 2001 |
| B01 | 2002 |
| C01 | 2003 |
I have to group the first column (Code) and from the second (Year) I have to get the data 'less common as possible' compared to all the other records. I try to explain this with the example: for the code 'A01' I have 2 years: '2001' and '2002'. I have to take '2001' because it's the one that not recurs in the other records. In the case that there aren't available values 'Year' that not recurs in the other records, it's good to take whatever value.
The data are in the form of array in memory and to interact with them I'm useng some LINQ queries.

Essentially, whenever my users who are logged in via a global module level variable enter a new form, their activity is "logged" in a textfile with their UserID as the name.txt and every time they visit a page it adds a new line to their log file with a number corresponding to the form they visited. For example, if they select "add a user" it will add the line "1" to their log file. Note: At the moment there is only 1 2 and 3 not 0.
I have got this far and I have got as far as creating an array which has:
Array(0) = NumberOfTimes 0 appears in the log file
Array(1) = NumberOfTimes 1 appears in the log file
etc etc
Therefore the output for this is
Msgbox(Array(0)) shows "0"
MsgBox(Array(1)) shows "4" for example and lets just say
MsgBox(Array(2)) shows "9" and
MsgBox(Array(3)) shows "1"
Therefore, finally (!) my problem is now finding which 3 are the top. I have tried various methods of sorting them but I just get "9, 4, 1, 0" rather than "2, 1, 3, 0". (By the way the end product for this is to show three links on the "welcome form" of the users 3 most visited forms). Here is a pastebin of all the rubbish I have currently tried that hasn't worked!

Is it possible to have the menu and header static and loads each form in one dynamic container. I hope my questing is clear :P just to make it more cleared, it is more like having a templates in php coding where we can load other page in a particular area without having to reload the entire page with each links.
