Asp.net - MSBuild _CopyWebApplication Not Copying <link> From Vbproj
May 11, 2011
We have a CMD file which loads an MSBuild XML file and builds and publishes our VB .NET Web App. I noticed today that one of the user controls we're using is not being copied to the UserControls folder in the output directory. However when I build and publish the project from within Visual Studio 2008 that file is there.
I believe the reason this is happening is because the file that is in the UserControls folder in the project is a shortcut to a file in a different solution within the same project. The ItemGroup XML in the MyProject.vbproj file looks like this:
<Content Include="..OtherSolutionUserControlFile.ascx">
<Link>UserControlsUserControlFile.ascx</Link>
</Content>
In the MSBuild.xml file we have, the following is being run after the solution has been built:
<MSBuild Projects="$(ProjectRootPath)MyProject.vbproj"
Targets="_CopyWebApplication;_BuiltWebOutputGroupOutput"
Properties="OutDir=$(BuildFilesPath)" />
why the shortcut is not being copied to the OutDir?

I'm using MSBuild (via NAnt) to compile a bunch of VB.NET assemblies. Because these assemblies depend on COM Interop, I need to guarantee that they run in 32-bit mode on 64 bit OS's. I can get the executable assemblies to compile to 32-bit by changing the project in Visual Studio, but I'd really like to be able to force all of the executables to be compiled to 32 bit mode on the build server.I've tried a number of command-line parameters to MSBuild with no luck:
/p:Platform=win32
/p:Platform=x86
/p:ProcessorArchitecture=x86

I have recently stumbled across a problem in the last week where Visual Studio (both 2005 and 2008) will lock up while building my solution. The status in Visual Studio will show "started building" or however the first message reads and then just sit there. At this point, the IDE will lock up (focus is lost and I can not regain it) and my machine's CPU usage will go to 100%. The only way to stop it is to force quit the application or process (either Visual Studio or my Command prompt if I am using MSBuild directly). Of course, the system still seems to be trying to process something because my machine still sits at around 100% basically forcing me to restart my machine to try again.

I have upgraded a visual basic 2005 project to visual basic 2010 (.net framework 4.0). I want to list all obsolete functions used in this project in order to change it with newer ones. How can I treat obsolete functions warnings as errors in visual basic 2010 ms-build?

In my VB.NET project I have three configurations DEBUG|TEST|RELEASE.
Currently when I am building using MSbuild and TeamCity I hard code the configuration, which smells badly!, to TEST
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Test</Configuration>
Now before everyone screams at me not to hardcode this, the reason this was done was becuase we could NEVER seem to get $(Configuration) populated.
So my question is within MSBuild how can I read the currently selected configuration from the solution file commited to SVN?

I'm trying to convert an existing command line tool into msbuild custom task.This tool logs messages and errors using the System.Console class.I've added to the tool's assembly a class that inherits from Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task and calls the tool main function, and the custom tool works fine - but no messages/errors are displayed (on the Visual Studio output window).I would like to avoid changing the original tool's code (otherwise I could change every "Console.Error.WriteLine" to "Log.LogError").I thought of changing the stdout and stderr streams of console by calling Console.SetOut and SetError before calling the tool's main function. For that, I would need to implement a class that inherits from TextWriter.

I currently have a nightly build system running as a windows scheduled task, calling at batch file, that works sort of like this: Check out the latest revision from subversion Modify the AssemblyInfo.vb file of the main executable and the librarys to set the version number to 0.0.0.revision Invoke MSBuild to build everything (including the installer) Upload the installer and a log of the build to an FTP server This works ok, but step 2 is dirty and fragile, and I can't imagine that this the only way to do what I want. Any ideas?

I have Visual Studio 2008.
When i try to create a new VB project (.exe or .dll - doesn't matter) or try to open an existing one, I receive the following error:
"C:Documents and Settings.....WindowsApplication1.vbproj" cannot be opened because its project type (.vbproj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio.
To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.
I tried un-installing Visual Studio and then re-installing again - same result.
It was working fine in the beginning. Between the last time it worked and the first time it didn't - I installed some Oracle tools, not sure if that affected anything. What's interesting - the problem is only with VB projects, C# projects can be created and opened.

I'm gearing up to work on a project which is migrating from VB6 to .NET 4.0. I have Visual Studio 2010 but wanted to try and open the original source code using the VB6 IDE. Can one still acquire this anywhere?I checked here:http:[url].... I have tried opening the original vb project file by changing the suffix from vbp to vbproj (let's call it MyProject.vbproj) but it just says it cannot interpret the file:
Unable to read the project file 'MyProject.vbproj'.

we have a CollabNet Subversion Edge server running on a Windows server. Subversion Server is configured to serve via https. When trying to import a Visual Studio project folder with TortoiseSVN it hangs when adding the project file (.vbproj). Test 1: It happens exactly the same when the server is configured to serve via http.Test 2: Importing any project folder using the console utility (svn) works fine.
Both these tests lead to the conclusion that there is neither a network nor authorization problem.

Following on from my last question, are the AssemblyMajorVersion, AssemblyMinorVersion,AssemblyRevisionNumber and GenerateRevisionNumber properties required in .vbproj files?
All of our components have these entries in the .vbproj files but they are completely out of sync with the AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion entries in the AssemblyInfo.vb files.
Are they a legacy from the upgrade from previous VS versions?

I have a link here that works perfect for calling the postback close that I need to happen:
<a href="javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')"><asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text="Close Me"></asp:Label></a>
However, I would like to be able to call the *javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')* method from the code-behind file rather than the user clicking the link. I.e., when I have completed my tasks in the application code, call parent.doPostBack as my last function call, which closes the window in question.

Can I safely move ReferencePath information from a .vbproj.user (or .csproj.user) file into the corresponding project file? Note: All developers will be using developing from the same location on their machines.We'd like to allow users to maintain their own settings for other things, but have this basic info be setup once and checked into source control to be shared to all.

so I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and I'm trying to make a program where I would have a textbox where the user would type,then a "Go" button. In the textbox, the user would type a number, lets go with 1 for an example. A user would type 1 in the textbox, then it would automatically add the 1 to the end of this .swf link: "http:[url]... after they enter the 1 in the textbox and press the "Go" button, it would add the 1 to the end of that link, then that link would open a new shockwaveflash form with the link being the Movie.

I am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.
THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network
I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)
So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.
Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed

I have a DataGridView which lists the paths of a group of files, pptx, xlxs, etc. From a context menu they can copy the name of the file onto the clipboard, or delete the file or rename the file, but I would like to be able to actually attach the file itself to the clipboard so it could be pasted as an attachment to an email or something like that. How do I get the file itself onto the clipboard when I only have the path to it?
