I'm looking for a simple tool, that accepts a path, scans folders, and creates a solution (sln) file with all the projects found.Setting project dependencies automatically would be a big plus for the tool from me.
View 1 RepliesTill yesterday I was working fine with my Project.I din install anything new, am not trying to open my solution file with a different version also.Today when i tried opening my solution, it was saying
"The Selected Fiel is not a valid solution file"
"The Operation could not be completed.Unspecified Error"
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
# Visual Studio 2008
Project("{54435603-DBB4-11D2-8724-00A0C9A8B90C}") = "??E", "..Setup2Setup2.vdproj", "{600F8FB2-B9A9-4138-B7E7-FE7B39815CC1}"
EndProject[code].....
It is saved on my desktop for easy access.I can close the program. I can click the solution to open it right back up, no problems.I then zip my file (also to the desktop)
My problem: I moved the original file (Project A) to another folder and extracted the unzipped Project A onto the desktop. When I open the new Project A's solution file, nothing happens besides VB starting up. It doesn't show me anything.
I have been trying to open a solution file downloaded from my class for the past two days. When I open the assignment file on my destop to access the solution file, it's not there. I have the variables design, obj, bin, and others but not the .sln file which is the one that I need. How can I fix that problem?
View 2 RepliesI have learnt how to create a basic random word generator. I now want to take this further but I would like to know if what I am thinking of is possible. I am in the process of wanting to create a random name/word generator which reads/loads an array from a text file. think this part I will be Ok with as there are some vids and tutorials about. However, I wish for the text file to have multiple arrays and then dependant on the day and time of the day, only a string from the current time array is loaded. Does that make sense and is it possible? I am happy to spend time learning how to do this but only if it is possible.
View 3 Repliesi have this project in TFS, and someone else from another computer changed the solution file's name. Now when i try to open it, i cant. It gives ne this error -"This project (xxx.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I dont have a local copy cause i deleted it. Reason being i wanted to get eveything new from the server. How can i open this project now?
I 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.
I apparently didn't save the project I was working on as a "solution" file, and I all I have are two separate files.[code]I only have those two files. The code is there, but the solution explorer lists nothing, and I have found no option to just simply open up my project after saving it so I can work on it again. I see no design. I really just want to see my project like it was before.
View 3 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 3 RepliesIn 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 am using the book: Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: An Object Oriented Approach and have a question. It says for instance: "In Visual Studio, open the solution file of the same name appearing in the folder named Chapter.09Chapter09ApplicationLessonPreview." Where in the world do I find this file? Is this something I have to create myself or is it already done and I just don't know where to look.

View 1 RepliesI 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..
Is it possible to get access to my VB code if I have the solution files on a USB hub but no access to Visual Studio? Can I open them up in Notepad?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a Visual Studio Macro and need to read a XML file in my project and write something. i can't get the correct file path! in my web application solution i have to projects for business and UI files. and my xml file named fa.xml located on UI project in a separate folder. i want to use this macro for many solutions. but the structure is the same. How can I get the Path of a file in a specific project in my solution?
View 1 RepliesI have a solution that contains a WCF service project. In Solution Explorer only the MyService.svc file is shown, but on double clicking it the MyService.svc.vb file opens for editing. That is OK, but Visual HG (based on Mercurial) now doesn't show that the MyService.svc.vb file has changed and I cannot commit any changes without browsing to the Tortoise HG workbench. This is a possible cause for errors when merging code. So, how do I make the MyService.svc.vb file appear in Solution Explorer?
EDIT: The problem seems to be limited to VB WCF projects. In C# there is an arrow before the .svc file that will show the svc.cs file when clicked. Bug?
I did not do anything at all but I just noticed that my 2005 solution files are defaulted to 2003 so I used "Open With" and ticked the "Always use this program..." and selected the 2005 even and it is now being opened with 2005 but somehow the icon still shows the 2003 icon, why is this and is there anything I can do to revert it back to the 2005 icon?
The only thing I did was to download and install the latest BOL of SQL Server 2000 which I am not sure if it affected any setting for VS. EDIT: "Restore File Association" did not do the trick.
I need to read a Visual Studio Solution file (.SLN files) to figure out which projects belong to this solution.By opening a SLN file in notepad, one can see that the projects are stored like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "RadioGadget", "RadioGadgetRadioGadget.csproj", "{AE664C6C-000B-44D9-BAD8-0200D6ABE90D}"
[code].....
excluding the ... part obviously (which is just some guid I don't care about). Then I need it to match the rest too, and more importantly, I only need it to return the filename that I've underlined in the example. When I simply use 'm.Value' as I am now I think I will get the entire matched string back, right? That gets me nowhere as I'd still need to parse the filename out of that manually... Bit pointless to use regex then...
I have created a solution where no problems occur when debugging. After copying the complete solution to another folder i cannot debug this solution. I receive an error "Public Property DisplayName As String' and 'Public ReadOnly Property DisplayName As String' cannot overload each other because they differ only by 'ReadOnly' or 'WriteOnly'." in the web.g.vb file. I deleted the web.g.vb file and build the solution but this does not solve the problem. (The original solution debugs withoud any problem)
View 6 RepliesI was working on a project of which I've spent over six months of rigorous work on when my computer auto-hibernated due to the battery power level being insufficient. Upon plugging it in 20 minutes later and re-starting VS I attempted to re-open my solution when I recieved the error "this isn't a valid solution file." I then tried to examine this file by opening it (a copy I made of it) in Notepad. though there is data in this file it isn't visible and hence I have no clue as to how I may recover this file.
Visual Studio did ask me if I wanted to recover this file when I first re-started it and I answered yes. I then closed VS, re-opened, clicked on my Solution and recieved the error that it isn't a valid solution file. I really don't know why any problem existed in the first place. Usually upon running out of power my system does fine at hybernating and then re-starting. Nothing seemed different this time except that I was running an instance of my application (Debug mode) when the computer auto-Hybernated on me.

View 7 RepliesI was wanting to add a random number generator to an app of mine and I have the code that creates it:
Private Function RandomNumber(ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer) As Integer
Dim random As New Random()
Return random.Next(min, max)
End Function 'RandomNumber
What I can't get to work correctly is the following. I have a textbox for the min and max. The way I have it setup is when it generates it I have a MessageBox show it but it pulls the same number a few times in a row. How do I make it pull a different number each time until all numbers a pulled. I then want to add them to a listbox as each one is generated.
