I Have a project I am currently making in visual basic 2008 express edition. I then tried out visual basic 2010 express beta 2 and found a feature i need for my project in it...
If I convert my Visual basic 2008 project into a 2010 beta 2 project will i later be able to convert the beta 2 project into the full version of visual basic 2010?
If I buy the full version of visual sutido, can I then use Crystal Reports and postgresql together? I connect to a postgresql server via net connector (npgsql) written in c#. Can Crystal Reports handle more database types, not only odbc and oledb and sql server?
View 1 RepliesI am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
View 5 RepliesDoes anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
How can I find the OS using Visual Basic 2010? It does not seems to recognize any of the old commands like GetVersionEx etc.
I am looking to find out the Windows Version, Build, 32 or 64 bit, RAM, Processor and Manufacturer.

View 2 RepliesI have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?
