Managing a Music Collection Using Visual Basic Express and SQL Server Express.Just what I wanted. The Database setup was very straight forward. However, when it came to the Visual Basic coding I got completely lost The example references Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.dll But I do not understand how to reference this from within the Visual Basic express coding. Within the example there is a line Private withEvents mp3 As Audio = Nothing.When trying to build the example Visual Basic 2008 Express alway reports the following error for this line.Type 'Audio' is not defined.I have installed the DirectX 9c SDK software and from within Visual Basic Express 2008 selected the following,[code]How do I play and MP3 File from within my Visual Basic express 2008 Application?
I have already incorporated DirectX into a program and set the owner to a picturebox which so far works great, but all it does is set the place/dimensions of the directx window to the picturebox... it doesn't actually USE the picturebox for the video so if i pause the video or set a timeframe I can't use the picturebox frame/image to pull information from. So what I want to do is when i pause the video at a certain frame I want to be able to actually take a snapshot and populate the picturebox with that image and then be able to save/manipulate it like a normal picture. I have read some examples and coding on screen snapshots using DirectX.3D, but not audiovideo. Not sure if its the same or what. I know normally you would start out with CODE, but in this case I have NO IDEA exactly where or how to start it.. I tried Bitmap options with the screen area/location, etc... but was getting errors and exceptions..
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 64-bit and latest DirectX SDK (August 2009). When I run program, window looks like this . The code is from site . Windows Vista 64-bit has the same problem. My graphic cart is Gigabyte GeForce 9400 GT
I am trying to learn how to use directX on VB.net. I found this tutorial:[URl]..and followed what Jenner wrote there but VB errors when I try running it.I installed the latest directX SDK package microsoft had and still the code errors when I run it.Anyone knows why that is? or has got some other tutorial that I could check out? I am running on windows 7 if it matters.
I need to overlay a small bar along the top of the screen over a fullscreen DirectX game. I have searched for a while but I have not found any code examples for VB.NET 2008 (I've never used any previous version). How can I do this? Would this involve learning DirectX programming?
how I can implement my calendar with VB .net express 2008 and MSSQL 2008 Express. How do I get it to work with datasets, binding source etc.If I go to Properties>settings my connection string is:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|CalendarDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
and I have a table with fields:-
CalendarID Subject Location Purpose
[code]....
I can Add the event to the calendar I have the necessary items on my form linked to my table and I can save them to my table:
I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand
I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.
Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.
I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.
there Dream in Code Community! Im an okay programmer as far as skill right now I am still learning as we all are I need some help from some experienced VB.NET programmers in the community, Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords.
The program I am trying to modify was initially written using VB 2005 Express. I have subsequently downloaded the 2008 version. The program creates a monthly spreadsheet from a template. The old code that will no longer (highlighted and underlined) compile is as follows:
I'm using VB 2008 Express for our College Project. I'm also running SQL Server 2008 Express and have installed SQL Server Management Studio and used it to create my database. Both software have been installed and running locally. I'm trying to connect to the database from VB 2008 Express. Database connection wizard have 3 options:
connecting to Access db connecting to SQL Server 3.5 compact db and connecting to SQL Server db file.
I have SQL 2008 Express and Visual Basic 2008 Express runing on XP Professional SP2. When I select add new data source from VB I don't have the option to connect to SQL Server 2008 express to get at the to SQL Server Database. I also notice that the OLE DB connector is not availble as a data connector. Can somebody please confirm that VB 2008 Express can connect directly to SQL Server 2008 Express and how I can achieve it.
'm trying to use Visual Basic 2008 Express and connect to a DB of SQL Server 2008 Express but ... you can tell me why in the Database Explorer and the Data menu of VB only have the following options for data source? Microsoft Access Database File Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 Microsoft SQL Server Database File does not have the options Microsoft ODBC Data Source Microsoft SQL Server obs.: I have the Visual Web Express 2008 installed, and there are the options available.

i am using windows vista and i have installed visual basic 6 and Microsoft directx SDK 2008 in my computer.I want to use directx in VB6 but i am not able to add it from the reference.There is no reference to directx available there.
i am beginning to be better and better to VB express edition 2008, and really really like this language, my goal is to program 3D games.And since i didn't came anywhere in C++ or C#, i believe it's possible to make great 3D in Visual Basic. how to set DirectX SDK up with Visual Basic? and show me some tutorials or books?
I have a quick question that needs answering. How can I use DirectX in my VB 2008 application? Most sites I've seen says to write Imports Microsoft.DirectX but it's apparently not there. I have downloaded the DirectX SDK (MArch 2009) but there are only C++ files in there. Can anyone provide insight as to how I could solve this?
I am using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) to make a basic directx program, which shows the coordinate visually. The idea is to draw the x-y and x-z grid using the line class of the direct3D. The line class has a function to draw line in 3d
Public Sub DrawTransform(ByVal vertexList() As Microsoft.DirectX.Vector3, ByVal transform As Microsoft.DirectX.Matrix, ByVal color As System.Drawing.Color)
I'm working on a tool that requires overlays ala X-Fire. I'm hoping to do it in C# or VB.NET rather than resorting to C++, but the only solutions i've found for .NET cause a large performance hit (~20FPS in games). Take a look here: [URL]
I recently created a very simple project in VB express 2008 to interface with a COM object from an external vendor. I then downloaded the VS2008 90 day trial and found that the identical code in a VS2008 project results in a COMException error "Object is out of scope". Is anyone aware of any differences in how the two packages handle COM object interfaces as I have run out of ideas. Both projects have identical code and all the references are the same. The CreateObject() method correctly creates the object, but any attempt to access methods inside the COM object result in that error. I can even open the VB 2008 Express project inside VS and it still generates the same error.
Here is the code - the vendor dll in question is from Siebel v8.0.0, you'll notice that I have commented out most of the code that comes after the error. Creating a watch in the debugger on the siebApp variable sees it correctly created as {System.__ComObject}type SiebelHTMLApplication. I first tried this by creating the Property Service for variable siebSvcs, but after I started experiencing the COMExceptions, I reverted to using the most basic method inside the COM object I was creating.
using Vb Net 2008 with SQL Express 2008 R2 in windows forms. that being said, I have a syntax problem in this form, form has 2 texbox an a datagridview and also the 4 components DataSet. BindingSource. TableAdapter, BindingNavigator. When I filter by LastName no problem it work fine (it's a String) but when I try to filter by CustomerID (it's alphanumeric) I get an error "Invalid character" here is part of my code: Private Sub surnameFilterTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles surnameFilterTextBox.TextChanged
I recently installed vb express 2008 and with that download i also installed Sql server 2008. Earlier i have been working in MS Access so i have no experience in SQL server. My first problem is how to start sql server. I can see only following:
Start>All Programmes>MS SQL server 2008>Configuration Tools, Import and Export Data(32 bit)>SQL server configuration Manager,SQL server Error and Usage Reporting,SQL server Installation Centre. Moreover in Programme Files i have two folders:
1. MS SQL SERVER and 2. MS SQL SERVER COMPACT EDITION
how to start to create a database in SQL server with Vb express 2008.
I am using VB 2008 express and SQL Server 2008 express on a test basis and I used to connect VB express to a SQL database (created in SQL Server 2008 Express management studio) file and it work perfectly until my hard drive packed up and I had to get a new one, so I had to reinstall both of these again and copied my old databases from a backup I had. Now when I try to connect to the database file it cannot connect. Network related error or the instance name is incorrect. When I look at the advanced options in the connect dialog it shows my instance as .SQLExpress and my correct instance name is .SQL2008Express. I clicked OK on the connect dialog and manually changed my connection string to the correct instance and that worked but whenever I run the application in debug mode it give me the same error as above.
If I try to copy/paste simple tutorials such as [URL], Visual Studio freezes indefinitely and I have to force-close it. If I try to use code like the stuff found here [URL] or even just load up Reed Kimble's XArcade Vengance from this forum, I get this error message:
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll' or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)
