Is 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.
It is really too bad that Microsoft (who once had the best documentation in the business) has slipped so badly. Good documentation does not really require analysis, though, admittedly, it is a lot of work. To wit: for each and every single method, function, event and operator provide the following: a brief topical functional description including any parameters, a detailed description of how the object works, a workable example of the code needed to make this object do something useful and links to all possible associated objects (See Also).
I see pages upon pages of useless text and links to other pages full of links. This rapidly descends into a crevace of unbelievable complexity for the developer trying to find out something truly simple like filtering a DataGridView without changing the data connection. (As it turns out this is very simple to do but I could not find a single example of how to do it in the Visual Studio documentation.)
I have a project which is using VB Language, is it possible I combine some classes with C# language into it? "Project" not a solution.
View 8 RepliesEvery Morning, we are getting multiple PDF files and our Executive needs to see in one PDF files.
Right, now I am diong manually PDF Merge process using Acrobate Profetional. But Now, my client asking to convert this into automated process every morning.
How can we Merge PDF processing using programming language .NET / Java Script and automate this every morning ?.
(My client is not allowing to use any third paty tool for this process.)
While modifying my form, I was suddenly unable to place any of the controls onto the page - i kept getting an error:
"Components cannot be added in localization mode. Select Default in the Language property."
So I set my language to Default...thinking that perhaps it had somehow gotten set to another setting. That seemed to fix it...I could now add controls to the form. Suddenly however, when I run the form, I notice that my new changes aren't there. If I re-set the language property to what it was before setting it to default, I see the form I see when i run it...it's like there's 2 forms.
In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?

Almost every example of MVVM I found is coded in C#, are there any examples/tutorials coded in VB.Net? I'm having a hard time translating C# to VB.Net since I haven't really used C# in any meaningful way...Also, does a MVVM Template/Toolkit for VB.Net exist yet?

View 1 RepliesI have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.

I have been searching but unable to find any code examples of using a GPS coordinate to navigate to another GPS by road way. Is there a dll from MS Streets and Trips or any other software that would allow this to happen? This would also need to be done offline, so no Google or other online serive call outs.

I'm trying to teach myself how to create multi-threaded applications in Visual Basic Express 2008. I found a page headed "Creating Threads and Passing Data at Start Time" in the Library here -

However, I can't get any of the examples on that page to run. I pasted the code from an example into a new Project in my IDE but pressing F5 just gives me build errors which I have no idea how to resolve. It's probably something trivial but I can't progress with these examples. Please can somebody tell me what I need to add to get them to run

I'm a student taking a beginner computer programming course. My teacher told me to use this website if I have any questions. The lesson I have just studied is about the different types of applications in VB.NET. My assignment asks me to "Give at least five examples of each type of application." I'm supposed to do a web search to find these. The different types of applications I'm supposed to find examples for are: Console, Window, Web, Class Library, Control Library, and Smart Device. Then I'm supposed to provide a description or a screen shot of each example.
I hope my question isn't considered too simple for this forum, but I don't know what else to do! I've spent a long time trying to search for examples myself and I can't seem to find anything.
I hope someone can help. I was "volunteered" to come up with an application for a local charity group. What they are looking for is a system that will track[code]...
They picked me to help as I have done some computer work and for them that means I'm an expert.What they want is for me to use a Visual Basic front-end talking to MySQL. I know enough to realize that most systems DON'T work out first time and the chances are even less if that person (Me) has not much experience.

Then it falls to the catch block, and then routes to the HttpError action.. Twice! and then my Error.aspx view never opens, instead I get either no JSON result or a 500 internal server error... makes not a lick of sense to me. Basically, I don't know what I'm doing.

View 1 RepliesIs there any specific reason why camel casing examples often start with a lower case letter?
E.G:Dim btnSave As New Button

Why then does the IDE not add items starting with a lower case letter if lowercase initial lettering is more common or more accepted?

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?
