IDE - My.Application.Info.Version.Build Returns Wrong Value
Mar 6, 2009We're using team build with AssemblyInfoTask to increment the build number in a nightly build. The build number is displayed in the application using My.Application.Info.Version.Build.This has been working fine for years. But since we branched the sources and started using file references instead of project references (have no idea if that's what causes the problem), the last build number is displayed instead of the current one.
The compiled files (dll's and exe's) have the correct build number, if checked by right clicking the file in Explorer and viewing detailed properties. However when the same exe-file is executed, the UI displays the previous build number.If I edit the AssemblyInfo.vb file manually (just set another number, save the file, and set it back again), both file properties in Explorer and the UI at runtime displays the correct build number. How can this happen? What can be done to avoid this strange behavior?

View 3 RepliesEnum ToString Returns An Unknown Number?
Jul 16, 2009I built a simple vb.net winforms project that pings IP addresses and logs the results. It works fine on most machines I've tried it on. I log the status result of the ping System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus) by using the IPStatus.tostring method.
Normally this returns a text result such as "Success" or "TimedOut"Yesterday, on one machine it returned "65" ...which is not one of the enum values. I have a feeling it might be a combination of values. I ran some test code:
Dim status As System.Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus
status = Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus.Success
MsgBox(status.ToString)
Which returns "Success"And this: status = Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus.BadDestination Or Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus.BadHeader MsgBox(status.ToString)
Which returns "11050" I suspect the "65" I saw was the result of some combination of enum values. Is there any way I can change the code in my second example to show the text names of both values? That is... any way I can see ALL values in this variable?

View 3 RepliesStart App From Commandline And Return Version Info?
Jan 23, 2012I am developing an application that will run with a GUI when no commandline args are passed, but can also run invisibly if started from the commandline and passed necessary arguments. I have been asked to include a /version argument that will return a version number. For simplicity this version number can be stored in a variable. Without doing something like writing the version number out to a file, what is the best way for me to return this info to the caller? My app will almost always be started from a script, so the script will have to read the version number and make decisons based on the version.

Running Application Can Know Name Or Other Info Of Desktop-shortcut That Started Application?
Apr 9, 2011Let's say 10 desktop shortcuts, all with different names/icons, point to and can start the same exe application from the same directory.

May 2, 2012One of our technicians asked my to write a small library file in which he would pass a filename and an integer. The library would load the text file and find the integer in the text file referenced by the file name and return a string back to his program. He is working in a third party application that uses VB as its scripting language.So, not wanting to worry about the .net install on some of the older machines that he has his equipment installed on I decided to take a crack at C++ (VS 2010). I am doing applications development in C# and the last time I compiled any C++ code was in VS 6, but I though how hard can it be? Well I am typing here so things have taken a decidedly wrong turn. I started out with the C++ Side.
#include <WTypes.h>
#include <comutil.h>
#include <string.h>the BSTR. Tried SysAlloc, didnt work.

If I pass a String to a BSTR as a parameter then pass it back again (like the file name) then the VB side reads in the entire string.

Getting Info From SQL With VB Application?
Nov 24, 2010I have a 3rd party program that has an internal messaging system built into it. The messages are stored in SQL. What I am doing is writing a program that will query this database on a specific interval and if it finds a message for a specific user it will take the text of that message and send it to the users email address(ie. gmail, yahoo, etc.). The issue is when the program quesries I only want it to grab the message that have not been sent. Each message in the system gets an ID assigned to it so what I'm trying is everytime it finds a message to send to the user it will write the ID of that message to a text file so that next time the query comes around it will compare the ID in the text file to the most recent ID in the database and if it is newer message it will get it and send it. I'm not trying to display any data from the query, just take the messsage text and send it.

View 6 RepliesError When Version Of A Dependent Application Changes
Jan 19, 2011I have developed an application in VB.net which uses R Programming language. The library that help connect VB.net to R is called R-DCOM. The application requires the user to install R-Programming language into the user's computer. The application was working all fine until there was a version change in the R-Programming language. The specific libraries involved with this are: Interop.STATCONNECTORCLNTLib.dll, Interop.StatConnectorCommonLib.dll and Interop.STATCONNECTORSRVLib.dll. It also uses StatConnectorClnt.tlb, StatConnectorSrv.exe and StatConnLib.tlb to run the application. Is this something related to "DLL hell". Is there a fix to that I may not have to recompile and install the original code and install them to the user's computer all over again.
