I've used VS 2005 for a while, when you use 'Add Reference' it puts the DLL in the BIN directory. I did this with VS 2008 and I don't see the DLL in the BIN. I am using an Application ( not a website ).

View 17 RepliesI am using CompilerParameters to dynamically compile code... The problem is when I use:
cp.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(CompilerPath & "est.exe")
to add a reference to test exe ... (where CompilerPath is the full path name)
Compiler Path is not the Compiler Application Path
I get an error when compiling stating that:
vb
"Could not load file or assembly 'test, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
If I put it in the test.dll in the "compiler apps" path and then call ReferencedAssemblies.Add with the full path it works.
I am having problem with Visual Studio 2008.... When i add the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library from COM References, and just run the blank form, it runs perfectly.... But whenever i declare anything related to ADODB like dim con as new ADODB.Connection, then after that it gives me error and doesnt run the project. A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. After that if i comment that like (declaration), then error goes........ I tried uninstalling each and every component and VS as well but the error doesnt goes....i am using Windows 7 x64. The same is working in Windows XP x86 in my virtual machine..... as i am not able to start my project
View 2 RepliesI need to know how to have a button on a tab to create another button on a second tab that contains a panel, with appropriate spacing, the same size as other buttons already present, and the name of the tab that generated this new button as the text on the newly created button. I.e. button1 on tab1 will create and place a new button on a panel in tab2 that already has a grid of buttons (maybe 3x10 buttons) which will be placed underneath a particular column with the text tab2 on the new button which can also refer back to that tab automatically. Hopefully we can get all this code under a single button event.
I also don't know how to have a button on tab1 that focuses on tab2, which sets the back button on tab2 with a reference to go back to tab1 in order to remain dynamic. I.e. clicking on tab1's button will go to tab2 and set the back button there with a link back to the tab it was referred from.
I'd also like to know if there's an easy way to create and destroy tabs with a specific layout. I.e. We have home tab, and comment tab. (This is for the sake of argument) On the comment tab1 (which contains all posted comments), we have a new comment button which creates a comment tab2 (or a dialog box for that matter) with appropriate textboxes, labels, and buttons in the right places which could also make use of the issues I posted above. So the new comment button on the comment tab1 will create either a new comment tab2 with appropriate objects, or a dialog box with the same, and then the submit button on this comment tab2 or box will create a new textfield/buttons on the panel containing the grid of buttons with the information provided in the fields from comment tab2/dialog box which is then destroyed.
I hope i haven't made the examples too confusing, but I can't figure out how to even make progress in these directions. Trying either fails completely, or semi-fails in getting these examples to function 100%.
I've already tried posting in other forums, but with no replies. Hopefully you all can help me figure this out.EDIT: This is not homework, I have scoured forums and google trying to find the answer to these problems. I'm hoping that because these are mainly VB based forums I can find some answers here.
For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

View 3 RepliesI code primarily in vb.net. I've been doing basic dependency injection manually and am looking to learn more about DI/IoC and maybe use a DI/IoC framework/container like Ninject. There are lots of examples and write-ups using Java and C# code. I'm looking for the best resources for vb.net programmers. Likewise, is there a particular framework that would be easiest for a vb.net programmer to pick up?

View 3 RepliesOver and over i keep getting stuck on the idea of adding references to a project. I was looking about visual studios 2010, i clicked the project menu tab, and then scrolled to add reference. When i would click on it, it would bring up a large list to choose from. So, my issue is as follows. I am told to reference via my compile error message a few items. I thought i found the elements i was looking for and pressed OK. When i would try to run, it would still give me the errors.
What am i doing wrong? Am i not doing something correct?
here is my error code, and i looked it up, but for some reason, as stated above, i must not be referencing correctly?

I have a function GetAllProducts() which fetches all products from a database and stores it in the cache for future requests. This works fine, but if I then call the function e.g. ProductSearchResults = GetAllProducts(), and then modify ProductSearchResults variable, this also modifies the cache, which is very important this never happens, as the cache affects the whole website.
I understand this is because both ProductSearchResults and the cache now have the same reference, but how do I solve the problem? Is there something that I can put in GetAllProducts() to ensure the cache always uses its own value?

View 3 RepliesI have a project that uses web references to make SOAP calls to several web services. When I'm working locally, the services are hosted on my local machine, so the URL of each web service is something like [URL]. When I deploy the project to a server, the URL needs to change to the production URL. Currently I am accomplishing this with a prebuild event that does a find-and-replace on each URL and overwrites it with the deployment URL before deploying. Surely there is a better way.
View 1 RepliesI am getting the following error when I add a service references that points to a web service.
'System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Friend' in the Reference.vb file.
I have not gotten it in other projects that I have done that point to the same web service. I have recently add some code that I downloaded and cleaned up the errors in to my project and this seems to be what broke it. This code uses several new features that I am not familiar with, mainly the "Friend" declaration and also uses name spaces in the code it self. Also I converted the code from C# using an utility that I downloaded, that untility was not 100% in it's conversion, hence the clean up that was needed.
I have a tier application based on this video url... So far the client application only has a reference to the Business Logic (not Data Access).If i needed to tie a control such as a TreeView to list certain data fields from my table then where and how should i do that? For example i could write a For each statement to iterate through the table which returns the item from a table or i could do it in the WCF service app but how does this tie in with a control such as TreeView especially when there are no references?
View 2 RepliesIn the VB6 interface, when you went to Project>References, it would list all the references that have already been added to the project with a ticked box next to the name. However in VS2008, when you go to Project>Add references, the tickboxes are not there. So how do you know whether or not a reference has already been added?

View 2 RepliesSo I have a picturebox on my windows form and it has an image set to it, I also have a bunch of reference files that reference to a bunch of images.Me.PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources.imgs.image1That piece of code works.Now, I tried to databind the picture box to a database so the images would load on the change of a combo box but that got confusing really fast so what I did was created a database and it holds all the image references such as "My.Resources.imgs.image1" but its stored as type varchar(50).Connecting to the database and retreiving the strings is no problem, that works all fine.The problem is converting the string to the image reference, it doesn't work. I've tried type casting, I tried using imagelocation rather than image but I want to reference to the resources that is attached to the project.

I'm still new to most of this but I seem to be finding that while you can load the Microsoft Reference Libraries at no charge, I'm told they are the slowest method to use.I have tested Gembox and only read about others. Is it worth the effort to deploy these 3rd party platforms, even if I'm working with small data sets, for the moment at least? Speed is one thing but when you're talking about 2 seconds vs 0.2 seconds, it's not worth $900 per seat.
Are there other 3rd party references which are Open Source, or no cost, etc...I would like to hear what the rest of us are doing on this?
In VB.Net you can do something like the following without any issues... just ignore the fact that this is a pretty useless class :-)
Imports System
Public Class Class1
Public Shared Function ArrayToList(ByVal _array() As String) As Collections.Generic.List(Of String)
[code]....
However if you do the same thing in C#...
using System;
public class Class1
{
public static Collections.Generic.List ArrayToList(string[] _array)
[code]....
You will get an error on the line with the return on "Collections.Generic.List" saying "The type or namespace name 'Collections' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"I know that you have to actually have a using directive to System.Collections.Generic to use List but I don't know why. I also don't understand why I don't get the same error in the function declaration, but only in the return statement.
Edit: Just to note, the question is really about the referencing of a sub-namespace such as in the example being able to reference Collections within System.
Maybe this is a n00bish question, but I'm used to c++'s pointers and references and this is confusing me a bit. Let's say I have the following scenario in a VB.net application:
[Code]...
The situation is this: I have a collection of objects, and during execution of the program, any of them can be fetched from the collection to be used/edited by another part of the program. Now obviously if I edit the data inside the object it is allright, but what if I want to replace the object, as I did above at line 5? I would change only the local reference (y) but not the object inside the collection!
Is there a way around this? How can I take with me a "reference to the object's reference", instead of just a reference, so if I reassign it it will also reassign the one in the collection? I hope I'm making myself clear, unfortunately english is not my native language, to be clear: in c++ this would be easy using a pointer to a pointer, or passing a pointer to the object always by reference, so calling new or reassignment on it would change the original pointer itself)
I have a number of routines that I need to create. The routines are all pretty much the same with some minor differences here and there (too much to just make 1 function that does it all).So I have been trying to abstract as much as possible but there is one part that seems like I should be able to get done... but maybe not.So lets get some sample code: These functions will be modifying 1 field in a pass by reference response class
Public Class Response
Public FooA As String
Public FooB As String
Public FooC As String
[code].....
But... this of course does not work. field becomes the new value but of course does not update response.FooA (since it was reassigned and not updates -- strings are immutable anyway).
I have been programming for some time, but I have some fundamental questions, one of them is as follows:
