Jun 30, 2009
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 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?

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'. ".

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
