Visual Basic Program Not Releasing Resource?
Dec 22, 2009
I have a program written in VB.NET which stops a service that uses file x, modifies x, and restarts the service.
I have modified my code for testing so that it just reads in the file as a string and immediately writes it back out.
Shell("net stop " & SERVICE_NAME, , True)
Dim myReader As System.IO.StreamReader
myReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader(x)
fileString = myReader.ReadToEnd()
[Code]....
The stopping of the service is no problem, and modifying the file is no problem, but when the service starts it stops immediately because, as best I can guess, the file is in use. Even when I try to start the service manually, it stops immediately. However, I found that I can open file x, click save without modifying anything, close the file, and start the service and everything works correctly.
If I comment out the writing part, everything works fine.
Also, the file I'm modifying has a .conf file extension. I don't know if this is relevant.

I am trying to make a console program in Visual Basic on Visual Studio 2008. I want to ask the user of the program if he wants the premium version or the standard version. If he chooses the premium version, then I want it to say premium in his "receipt" later on and if he chooses standard, then standard in the receipt.

I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.

I have a procedure at the end of my console application that ask the user to either hit enter to end the program, or type s to perform another search. The issue I'm having is no matter what the user types in the program end. What I would like to happen is if the user types s, then the program starts over and lets the user perform another search. The program is procedural and I need to find a way to start back off at the top of the program which ask the user to type a name to search.

I've been trying to send a test-version of my program to the person who has instructed me to create it.Now, the problem is, every method I try seems to fail, either by crashing on start-up or saying it requires Visual Studio to be installed.I've tried giving him the '.exe' from Debug, Release and it just crashed the moment you start it up. (And Windows automatically starts looking for a solution but of course finds none.)
And if I use the "Publish" function and put it in an install, that's when it says it requires Visual Studio to be installed.Is it so difficult to distribute something made in Visual Studio? :< I'm probably overlooking the obvious here..

Anyone know of a way to do addon's with a visual basic program? I want to create a program that has some basic functions, but to stay away from bloatware and unused functions. How would you create a main program when it is installed and then be able to add and remove features to it?

I'm doing a baseball program for a class project. And I almost have it complete, but it's giving me a syntax error. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. I'm using two functions to return a value for different type of baseball tickets to the button that calculates them. Here are the instructions 1.)User selects whether to purchase season tickets or single-game tickets 2.) User enters the number of tickets needed and the type of seats based on whether they selected season single-game tickets.3.) User clicks the Compute Ticket Cost Button to display final cost4.) User clicks the Clear Form button to clear the responseI just can't figure out what I did wrong. I know it's something stupid that i'm doing.the errors are happening inside the btnCompute sub routine. with syntax erros on SingleGameCost() and SeasonalCost() line 114 and 118

I have Visual Basic 2005. I want to be able to adjust the Master Volume programmatically. In the recent versions of Visual Basic it is much easier but in VB2005 it is a little more involved from what I have read on previous posts. Is there a way to adjust the volume in the code of a Visual Basic 2005 program?
