how to run a Windows application within the VB.NET development environment. How can I 'build' or save my VB.net application, so I and others can run this application without runing the Visudal Studio?
View 2 RepliesI'm from an AS/400 (iSeries) background and have no idea about how a team of programmers work within the .Net environment. Lets say a company purchases a new button control. Now, in that company they'll have 5 or 10 developers working with that new control. Its my understanding that even if the control is in the GAC, it must still be copied locally to work on at design-time. My question is, what is locally? Does each developer have a copy on their own PC or is it held centrally on a server?

View 1 RepliesI have inherited a large VB.NET solution that was created in VS 2003. I am trying to update it to VS 2008 to maintain it. I no longer have access to an install of VS 2003.
The solution contains 15 projects that are console applications and 1 that is a Website application. The website application refers to some assemblies in the other console projects.
When I try to open the solution in VS 2008 all the console applications open but as it tried to open the Web application (or website? -- not sure) I see the dialog "Trying to open http://dmedibiz/dotcom.vbproj". It is unsuccessful in doing so. I don't have a website named http://dmedibiz on my development machine.
I tried changing the name of the website in DotCom.vbproj.webinfo, but that does not have any effect in VS 2008. When I go so far as to change the Hosts file so that the local machine resolves "dmedibiz" to the proper folder on my local machine, I keep getting prompted for a login and cannot access the folder even using the administrator login. I have tried adjusting the security on the Folder and in IIS Manager and even in the Frontpage Extensions, but nothing works.
So, what can I do to open this web project along with the other projects whose classes it references? Is there a way to change the website reference in the upgraded application? I actually do not want Frontpage Extensions in the site, but there was some reference to that also in the erro messages about installing them to "fix" the problem.
Here is the error I am receiving...
Unable to open the Web site '[URL]. Could not find a Web server at 'http://dmedibiz'. check to make sure that the Web server name is valid ...'
Can anyone tell me how to change the website location reference? Or must I remove the Web project from the solution and create a new Website and then copy in the files that need to be worked on?
Why would database drivers work in the development environment of VB.Net and not once the project is built and installed on the same pc? I've tried the MS ODBC Oracle driver. I've tried various ODBC datasources. All work when I am in the development environment but none once I build and install. No matter whether the configuration is Debug or Release. This is the only project having this problem. I have other apps (VB.Net) that access the same database (Oracle 9.2) with no problem.The environment variables are the same during both types of runs. The error messages vary depending upon the driver being used.
View 1 RepliesIn VS2005, I noticed that when you go from the code window to the form window, the form immediately appears, but then redraws again, and takes about 4-5 seconds to come back. Is there any way around this annoyance? Has it been fixed in VS2008? In general, has anyone noticed any speed improvements in the development environment between VS2005 and VS2008?
View 9 RepliesWell I've finally decided to upgrade some of my vb6 applications. Anyway I have two forms that are very similar one is customers one is vehicles. One of them is working on form load and one of them isn't. The one that isn't working I've traced the point it stops down to where there is a green line left of the code on the left bar of the development environment. This green line doesn't exist on the form that works. What the green line in this photo means? [URL].
Bigger Picture [URL]. I found a page that says the green simply means the code was saved but it's only on the form that stops working right after the execution of the sql statement. For some reason while stepping through the code it returns to the show command that was called to originally open the form right before the form opens but it skips everything with the green line next to it. I went and disabled tracking and it went away.
I have just started using VB.net, and am currently using VB2010 Express. Previously in VB6, I used the MSCOMM control for communicating via the serial port.
1) What is the minimum development environment required for RS232 communication? I assume VB2010 Express will not be sufficient.
2) What control or class should I use?
Is there a way to undo "Build" or "Publish" actions (like unbuilding/unpublishing) in order to get the original files/folders of the application? I am creating a program for a homework assignment and we aren't supposed to build or publish our applications but I didn't save my project before building and publishing it (out of curiosity) and I didn't upload the application's folder to the FTP server before so now there are "extra" files and folders (created during the build/publish process) and I don't know which ones are the "extras" and which I need to upload.

I'm trying to build an application to monitor a site to build statistics from the data being read. This HTML looks like this.

I have an app that I'm debugging and I need to pause it by clicking on a "pause" button in the development environment. I don't want to stop it programmatically, just manually to check what it is doing. I know this should be simple but I can't find a pause button anywhere on the toolbar.

View 1 RepliesI've seen sample vb project. It's a console application. There's a code there like Dim q() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
First I try to check it by using message box to print it out: the index-0 of q contain a path project vshost --> q(0)="D:TestServicesample1.vshost.exe" and the index-1 of q contain a xml file --> q(1)="Setting.xml"
The thing I really confuse is, from where the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() get that both q(0) and q(1)?
I've tried to search both and can't found any code which is contain the path to load it, then I try to delete the all complied files in debug folder and then rebuild it, the strange thing happen, I mean the "Setting xml" file automatically created and appear again although it doesn't has the same contain as it has first which is remain only. The original contain of the Setting.xml is some IP and database name. Is there any setting which can make the vb.net create the Setting.xml? Because I don't find either the code for creating this Setting.xml or the tool bar for set it.

I am at the stage of planning the application which will conect to a Ms SQl database, and process some data to Excel files.The problem is, that i would like to make a base pure application, without any functionality, and then add functionalities by adding some external files with code to program folder.I`not sure if what i just wrote is clear. To simplify:I would like to have an application which connects to a database, but let`s say when after 1 year, i will be in need of some more functionality, i woun`t have to change the code of whole application, but can just add a new file, and when I run the application there will be one more function to be chosen from the list.
