I have a visual basic 2010 project with a solution. When I double click the solution the project opens. I cannot see the solution file. I am trying to add an existing project to my solution but I am having trouble.How do I add an existing project to an existing solution?
In VB 2005 if I double click the solution the solution opens with the project underneath it. But in VB 2010 they have made it complicated apparently.
I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.
View 8 Repliesis this possible? can not find how to add a new project to the existing solution. or, this feature does not exist in vb express?
View 2 RepliesI've added a C# project to my VB.NET solution and I'm trying to access all of the classes and namespaces within that C# project.However, I'm not having any luck. I've never had to do this before, so I'm a bit lost.After adding the project, I tried importing the namespace from it. When I do, I just get the green squiggly telling me that the namespace doesn't have any public members or couldn't be found.Since it does have public members, I'm assuming it's the latter issue.So is there anything I need to do in order to access besides just adding it?
View 2 RepliesIm trying to implement this code: url... and want to add it to my existing VB.NET solution.But when I look at the source code I see a code behind file for global.asax (Global.asax.cs) file with a namespace defined in it?!?Now in my existing VB.NET solution I DONT have a code behind file. Here's what my global.asax looks like: [code]When I add the namespace code as in the sample code I get: 'Namespace' statements can occur only at file or namespace level.How can I implement the sample code correctly in my current solution?
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this is really a VB IDE issue, or a more general VS10 issue, but I couldn't find any other relevant category to post in, so here goes!I have several VB projects which I want to use in the same solution in Visual Studio 10. I created a project (& corresponding solution) which will reference them and added the existing projects by right clicking the solution in solution explorer choosing 'Add->Existing Project'. Then I went to the containing project's Properties window and added references to the existing projects, so they could be used by the project.

I'm developing application that is plugable. The plugins are loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom(). In my solution I have 4 projects. A WPF, 2 DLL and another DLL that is a plugin for the app. The plugin project references one of the other DLLs. When I build the Solution and run I was getting an error trying to use the plugin dll because it was expecting an older version of the referenced project. I had to clean and rebuild the plugin project to get it to run correctly.

is there a way to see the My.Settings of one project from within another project within the same solution?I'm guessing the answer is no, they are scoped at the project level
View 3 RepliesI recently built a program in VB 2010 that calls an image file from my hard drive. I have found that by deleting or moving the file causes the program to shut down.The code to call the image is as follows:
aTileSheet.LoadBitmap("C:Documents and Settingsimagefile.jpg", 32, 32)
I remember when I was working with C#, there was a way to add a file (such as a Jpeg) to the solution itself.While I can add a file with the "Add Existing Item" command, I am at a loss for how to use it from the solution. If there is some way to add an outside file so that it will be a part of the program after building it, or if this is even possible, I using s dynamicbitmap command (as found from this website ) to use the image. If this effects the results, let me know that too.
what is the difference between Solution and project in vb.net If I load either of this from my project folder, will effect be the same?

View 1 RepliesActually, I've been able to add the project, but I don't know how to execute the load command (Form1_Load) from the original solution to the added project. Additionally, there is a .DLL file that is needed to run the new project
View 1 RepliesI am wondering if anyone else has experienced any issues with adding a data source to a VB.NET 2010 solution using the 'Add New Data Source' wizard. I am getting a very odd behavior when i add the data source, I see a .xsd file is added in my solution explorer but I do not get a data source listed in the data source view. In short, it will add a dataset to the project but will not add an entry in the project data sources. I realize I can code to get the same results but purely out of convenience I would much prefer to just use the wizard and the corresponding table adapters it generates as I always did.
By the way, a google search shows that many people had similar issues in the 2005 version but their issues involved trying to use special characters in the project path (i.e. 'C:My ProjectsR & DMy Tool. I do not use any special characters in my project paths and yet am still experiencing this issue.
I did so by chosing "add existing file". For purposes to reproducing this let's say the file is in c:emp. So I added c: emphelp.chm.
I set the properties to "copy always" under the option "copy to output directory".
Then I compiled and it worked fine.
I then updated the file in c: emp with changes and compiled. I expected the updates would be copied into my program but they did not..
I am coming to the end of coding this system in Visual Studios 2008 which I took over from a guy who has worked on it for a year.He is not here anymore.He made 9 projects and put them into one solution(screen shot below).I have only published a .NET website for VB and have never published something like this.P3Data is the only one that the publishing tab comes up with. All the other projects the publishing tab does not come up. Why is P3Data bold? How can I publish the whole solution 'P3Data' as one whole entity?

View 1 RepliesI would like to know if there is any way that I can rename an entire project / solution.I created a project called say WindowsApp1, and then realized that I do not want that name, I'd like to rename it to something else.So I'd like to rename all references to WindowsApp1 throughout the project to another name.
View 9 RepliesI've recently had an issue at work where I have lost my solution files to my projects, but I still have the executables that have been produced by the projects / solution (yes, my fault for not making better backups). Is there any software out there or any way of decompiling the executable back into a solution / project file??? IF yes, fantastic! If not, it just means I can cross it off as an option!

View 4 RepliesI Imported 2 programs that I made into one solution. I made a "BIG" main menu (new windows form), put two buttons. I code one button to open up the first project (that works fine). I code the other button to open the project I imported, however it says that the name is not declared. Am I doing something wrong?
here is my code for the "BIG" main menu:

now only the "Original name of first project" appears to be not declared, if I delete "Original name of first project", then "the project I imported"is not declared and so forth. Note: These are not the exact names I called my forms. I'm just trying to explain it clearer.

I can have a reference added to the project that I want to show a form from and still builds fine, every time I do something like this: Dim form_to_show as new Project2.Form1 form_to_show.show() It appears to corrupt the RESX file and stops compiling...it's really getting anoying..
