VB.net 2010 windows forms application:Why does the compiler compile with code that requires subsequent alteration?
For example, in the form sub InitializeComponent():
system.Windows.Forms.Button() requires alteration to global.system.Windows.Forms.Button()

When the button is pressed, it all works and the following files are created: yahoo.dll and yahoo.pdb My question is this: What is the code to load the already compiled yahoo files to execute the code again, without having to recompile the code?
I have been playing around with different types of native code operations in Visual Basic and then inspecting the code with Reflector to see what kind of MSIL is produced. For example, I wondered, in a one line If-Then-Else different than an If-Then-Else split onto multiple lines, ie.

I have completed a small VB console app to read data from a BT card scanner. From within the VS2010 developer the app runs as desired, capturing the data and displaying it on screen with console.writeline().When I compile and execute the code either from the debug bin version or the release bin version, the app only captures the first few bytes then closes. All the code is within the Module1 Sub Main. Is there a compile setting or other property that I need to adjust?

I am beginning to be concerned that my solutions are being copied - which is fairly easy.I am hoping someone can give me some advice about the best way to do this.I don't really have much of an understanding outside of Office VBA development - but have dabbled in .NET and VB in the past. Should I be buying Visual Studio - if so, does it matter if I buy Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 - I will initially need to convert some Word 2007. I have previously downloaded the .NET framework, and not sure how this relates to Visual Studio.
View 3 RepliesI've a requirement to have PreCompiled webpages and Non-PreCompiled webpages under same application. For example below is my structure:
/Bin
/Test1 (PreCompiled)
/Test2 (NonPreCompiled)
/Test3 (PreCompiled)
I would like these to have their separate "Bin" folders too if possible at all (I tried using "Probing" but I guess that's not allowed for web apps and defaults to "Bin" folder). If not that then definitely some ability for these to work together under one app/virtual directory because I'm not allowed to create another at any cost :(
is there anyway a compiled executable can be decompiled? in other words can its code be viewed? the reason why Im asking this if because I have a small project to do which for the most part is almost done, plus the instructor gave us the executable version of the application for us to test-drive, my application does everything but one thing. it is a small calculator application where there is a operator label that should display the arithmetic operator chosen by the user, per say I Im adding two number, there should be a box displaying the plus "+" sing or any other operator I pick, but I dont know how to get that done, so I would like to see the finished application code just to see how the coding should be done.
View 3 RepliesIn my project, I have a local dataset (XSD) that I am using as local-temporary tables. I am getting a System.InvalidCastException when trying to access the field in one the tables. I believe this is because I my code is (incorrectly) not setting a field's value in a row before trying to access it.My problem is that the exception is breaking in the designer file and not in my code. As a result, I'm having difficulting determining which line of my code reading the field value before it has been set. Is there any way to configure Visual Studio to break in my code instead of in the designer created file?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a application scripting environment for my VB .Net application. I have a form type in the application called Project. What I want to do is dynamically compile (i.e Eval) VB .Net code on a Project form. This dynamic code always has a Main function. One of the arguments to Main is a reference to the calling Project form. Here is the Eval code:
Public Function Eval(ByVal vbCode As String, ByRef MyAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly, ByRef ProjectForm As Project) As ArrayList

I've been working on a project the last couple of day with the help of a lot of you out there. I've more or less finished the design of the interfase, but there are stange this happening with the form. I can say much about what is wrong because I dont understand it, but I would like to. I have added the form Class code and the Designer Code, is that enough or is more required? Theres a msgbox that popup in the form Load event which I placed there to see what I could learn about the GraphicsBuffer.

View 1 RepliesI have a class that inherits the Windows Forms Combobox.The class should do extra work when items are added, but there is no such event.Therefore, I have added methods to add and clear items, which do the extra work.To avoid developers accessing the Items directly and adding to them, I have overloaded the Items property to throw an exception.This all works fine, except in the VS designer. The designer tries to access the Items property, gets the exception and shows an error.Is there a defined constant for when the VS designer compiles the code? This seems like it would be best suited to the task.

View 5 RepliesI need some assistance again. In my previous posts, I asked about a good book to start learning how to us VB 2008.I had numerous replies, so I thought starting with Visual Basic 2008 would be a great start.As I am reading the book everything had mad sense up to Chapter 4. It's a simply program, and I thought I understood everything, until the middle of the chapter. So here's where I need help, and someone to explain my error.The author explains to place a Label & DateTimePicker onto the form, which I did. I renamed the label to NextWeek and DateTimePicker1 to DateChooser.Furthermore, I proceed to double click on DateChooser, which VB provides certain code automatically.[code]
After a few pages of reading, the author stated to put the following code under
Inherits class definition.[code]I went on and put the remainder of the code, which similar to the following:[code]The designer cannot process the code at line 51:Me. AutoScale Dimensions = New System.Drawing.SizseF(6.0!,13.0!)The code within the method 'Initilze Components' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.
but it's something I'm pretty consistently needing for the sake of my own sanity, so:If you add a Settings file to any project in Visual Studio, VS provides a GUI making it quick/easy to add a new Setting entry and assign it a Type; at that point the actual code-behind is automagically created with a variable and a property exposing that variable.Can we build our own designers to generate code this way, with a GUI allowing for those quick/easy variable/property assignments?
View 4 Repliesi have several forms in my solution that have listview controls and each of those listview controls uses the ListViewColumnSorter class that's provided on MSDN. This class requires a few lines of code in the Form_InitializeComponent Method of the Designer.Problem is, each time something on the form is changed, even if it's just a property of one of the controls, the designer deletes the code that I have for the listviews and I have to go back in and add it again.
View 4 RepliesPlease can someone point me in the right direction? I would like to build my own code designer window similar to that of the one within the VB2010 IDE.I am not sure how to tackle this, at first I was thinking of using RichTextBox as this can accommodate the fonts and colors.
An example of what I am trying to achieve.Should be able to outline, expand and colapse based on my own tags. e.g. in the VB.Net IDE a function and end function are tags that would produce an outline
Should be able to change color of text based on characters. e.g. ' would turn green in the VB.Net ide as it is a comment Should be able to indent based on specific tags. e.g. With - End with would auto indent within the VB.Net ide
I should be able to cover the text color and indents using RichTextBox, but I am struggling with the outline expand and colapse.The purpose of the project is to build a simple interface for creating config files that use only specific tags
On a recent project I stumbled across a page of code that looked unfamiliar, but which evidently was the code behind my form design. I'll copy and paste an excerpt to show you what I mean:

I thought this was a useful way to back up my project via email because it's in text form. But now I can't find the same information. I've looked in the Object Browser but couldn't find it anywhere. I think I stumbled on it the first time by right clicking Go to definition, but now that doesn't take me anywhere if I click on say form1. So where will I find this mysterious page that has all the form items information in text, not graphic form? Can't find it anywhere.
Just wanted to know if you had some design code which was created, and that is all you have. Can you open this designer code and create the actual working main Form from this? I don't need this designer code for any specific task, just wanted to know if there is a command within VB Studio 2010 that creates the actual Form from the design code. For example; The following piece of designer code is for a simple program that finds the Circumference of a Circle.

View 4 RepliesI was working on my project (creating a new form), and when I switched from the code view back to the designer view, I got the following error:
The designer cannot process the code at line 118: Me.VDARSQLDATASET = New Veterinary_Digital_Anesthesia_Records.VDARSQLDATASET() The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.I am now getting this error on every page. This project has been working for months just fine, but for some reason the VDARSQLDATASET has dissapeared- kind of. I can still access the dataset (the file is still there), I just can't reference it in the code (intellisense can't find it).
I am creating a VB.NET (2005) GUI that uses several controls embedded into tab pages.When VB.NET autocompiles (if I switch windows) it adds lines of code to the .Designer file that causes errors:Windows' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.TabPage'.is generated for:
Me.tbRxMinValidBits.TextAlign =
System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Right
The underlined part is what .NET is showing as the error.

What is a standard way to open the Designer (automatically generated) code for a VB file?
As a workaround, I can get to it by searching the entire solution for some keyword that is usually only found in those files: Global, Partial, etc.
Most of my project was imported from an older version of VB (now I'm using 2008). All of the forms had a "Windows Form Designer Generated Code" that I could expand at the top of the form's code. When I created a new form, that was not there, and I found out that in the solution explorer you can "view all files" and expand the form and look at MyForm.Designer and that has the same type of instantiation code. My question is, is there some way to update the old ones so they too do not have that "form designer generated code" at the top?

View 8 RepliesSo I've created a very simple UserControl that is pretty much just a combo box that has US States in it and a couple properties to return the selected value as an enumeration or a string, etc.The enumeration and string values I'm using are being referenced from an external library which is working. However, when I add my user control to another project the designer-generated code has errors in it. [code] I would assume that this probably has something to do with project settings or something similar for the user control. The control itself is in a separate project and compiled as a .dll which has been added to my main project's toolbox and subsequently added to my form. [code]
