I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it. I must have missed something, or maybe I could do this at home with an extension.

I'm trying to create an application using VB 2010 and an MS Access 2007 database. I've been googling around but was unable to find something focused on this matter.
View 3 RepliesSince I've been writing my prgram, I felt the need to provide documentation in much the same way VS2010 does.I've searched everywhere I could, but all the references I could find where for older versions of the IDE.It appears there is no builtin facility to produce documentation and this sounds silly to me.I found external programs, but at 300$ a licence it's way over the top of my budget.Even the hints and tips stickied on this forum are out of date, as they refer to VS2005.So how should I produce inline documentation for my classes
View 4 RepliesI just downloaded the trial for this application and it doesn't seem to work. I went through the Quick Setup guide and it all looked great. Now when I place my cursor on a member of any type and press Ctrl+Shift+D it does nothing. I placed it on top, inside, etc... Nothing. If I press Ctrl+Shift+A (twice) on top of the member it tells me to place it "in the line of the form MyType myVariable;". I'm not quite sure what this means unless it's referring to C# but this project is VB.NET which it doesn't seem to recognize. Anyone else have this issue? I was hoping it would make things easier since I've read that it can document an entire document rather than having to member by member. Using VS 2010 Premium.

Documentation error, now corrected in Visual Studio 2010. Re: Convert.ToUInt64?
I have a form with a DateTimePicker and a button. I need the date to be refused if the user did not choose the first day of the month. The Date format is Short.
View 1 RepliesI need to insert an event name and event time in VB so it starts showing the countdown to that event but the event can only be during the same day ie max countdown is 23h59m59s, but I've run out of ideas. Additionally, how can I force a textbox to a certain format eg so it only accepts numbers and puts them in a pre set format. For example when I press 111111 it sets it to 11:11:11 and 6 is the max amount of numbers in the box.
View 4 RepliesI was taking code called from an event and making a function of it
Public Function asyncPostMS(prefixes() As String, ms As MemoryStream) As Stream
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(prefixes(0))
request.Method = "POST"
[Code]....
Now when I call this using the new function the stream is already closed. How do I pass out a stream object from a function as an already "read" object.
Or do I need to create the stream outside the function?
When multithreading in VB, if you close the form while different threads are running, the process itself will not end. Is there a way I can force all threads to end, or end the process like in the Task Manager, when the form is closed?

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?
The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

View 4 RepliesHere's an example of a wasted day:
(1) I want to find out exactly what Binding.FormattingEnabled does.
(2) I type MSDN Binding.FormattingEnabled into google and go to the page.
(3) I read the 3, 'helpful', line description.
(4) I check out the bottom of the page for references.
(5) Never mind, non of those helped....
(6) I search google and find nobody seems to know what the property does in its entirety.
(7) I open up reflector and spend hours in a tangled web before being 70% sure I know what's going on.
(8) I carry on coding, but the 30% is niggling at me.
(9) Repeat 6 - 8 ad nauseum ...
There must be a better way!
I'm using VS.Net 2008 Express edition, btw.
ETA: The FormattingEnabled property was just an example, this is more of a general question. Using reflector, I'm about 94.314% sure of how it works..
I was wondering what options i have in order for me to create documentation for the applications i write? i.e. Some documentation for code written and some general comments on what the application is doing etc?
After a quick search i noticed a few options but most seem to be using VS 2003 (prefer something for 2010)

View 1 RepliesOne of the Projects in my VB.NET Solution seemed unwilling to let me write XML Documentation in my code. When tapping ''' on the line directly above a method declaration, nothing would happen. The project consisted of modules and classes only(no forms), so I initially thought that had something to do with it.
Later I found that under project properties and the Compile tab, the "Generate XML documentation file" checkbox was left unchecked. Checking this instantly allowed me to place the comments normally. After doing some testing, I also found that Creating an Empty project leaves the checkbox unchecked, while creating a Windows Application automatically checks it.
how to call or reference an item from an xml document. I hava a java app that i'm converting over to vb.net. The java application uses the digester class to to parse the information. The app uses 2 classes and the xml file. one class is the Vb.net Parameter class (fully converted from Java to vb.net) that pulls the information out of the xml document and then places it when called into the 2nd class file.
I'm pretty sure that i need to use the system.xml class to do this however i'm having or just not reading the examples properly.
I have partially converted the code over to vb.net, it still has some java references.

View 1 RepliesI simply want to find documentation about invoke and begininvoke. A member of delegates. simply searching on it on bing and stuff don't show anything. It shows control.invoke, etc.In the delegate msdn entry there is no invoke member. At least not when I look for system.action or system.func.Where can I found begininvoke documentation? what will happen if I put nothing as callback function for example? Intuitively the program simply don't call any call back function but hei, I want to makes ure of it.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to include examples for multiple languages (C# and Visual Basic, for example) in XML documentation?
I'm using SandCastle to build MSDN-style documentation and would like to include usage examples for a few .NET languages.
there are tools (SandCastle?) that can generate an MSDN-like documentation (HTML files) from your source code by using the XML comments above members. I am looking to generate a similar documentation (bunch of HTML files that one can link through), except not from XML comments but completely manually.It is for a custom scripting language, I have to document the available functions, and it would be great if I could do that in this common documentation style. Since there are no XML comments to generate the documentation from (the documentation is for the scripting language itself, not for my source code of the scripting language?
What I'm looking for in detail is a way to generate these documentation files by simply supplying this information for each function:
- Namespace (just the name and maybe a description)
- Function name + description + return type
- List of arguments and their types
from this I would to generate a document where one can first view all the Namespaces, click one (they are supposed to be links) and view all the functions in that namespace. Then you can click on a function name and view its description and list of arguments for that function.In other words: just like these automatic tools do, except now I want to supply this information manually.
While writing this I thought of one way that I might be able to do it: just create namespaces and functions in actual VB code (corresponding to the scripting language functions) and generate the documentation from that, but
1) That seems a little contrived especially if a better tool is available,
2) I would be in trouble with the types of functions and arguments, since they would have to be .NET types and not the types that my scripting language supports.
