I have some code that access an API out on the web. One of the API's parameters allows me to let them know that I am testing.I would like to only set this parameter in my code when I am testing. Currently, I just comment the code out when I do a release build. Is there an automatic way of doing this based on the build configuration?

View 4 RepliesFrom my DLL project I have succeded in making AutoCAD launch by pressing F5 from VB.net IDE (Visual Studio 2008) en route to try to make debugging of the DLL easier ...
... however one last obstacle is currently in the way and the obstacle is that for some reason when I hit F5 and AutoCAD is launched my breakpoints are not recognized at all... and program runs from start to finish instead of allowing me to debug ...
It issues a strange message which says "The following module was built either with optimizations enabled or without debug information... to debug this module, change its project build configuration to Debug mode..." and it is all weird because as far as I know I am not in release mode .. but in debug mode (anyhow I am relatively new to Visual Studio .NET so I am thinking that my impression could be that I am in debug mode when in actuality I maybe in release mode)...
Here is why I think I am debug mode ...
1. From Solution explorer ... when I click on the Solution Name and view its properties ... the Active config property says Debug|Any CPU
2. When I look at the properties of the project and look at the compile tab it says that the Configuration is Active (Debug) and under Platform it says Active (Any CPU).
3. Under the Advanced Compile Options of Compile Tab from project properties ... Enable optimizations is UNchecked ...
Anyhow with all the settings mentioned above it seems that I have everything okay but then the message above proves otherwise ... and so at this point I know that I am still missing something ... like a setting somewhere... wondering what else do you think am I still missing?
As additional info...there are seven projects in the solution and it is the main one (the one that I set as startup project) whose properties I refer to in all the paragraphs above.
It read some data from a database and put the result into a word document. In this document is a blanc table with a bookmark to indicate the start position.In debugmode this works fine and after distributing thsi is still working fine.A user called me to say that the word document was a complete mess. I ran the application in production mode and yes it is a complete mess. Because the bookmark is not found, the data will be enterd into the wrong column.When i return to debug mode, the apllication is still correct and the result on the word document is good. Behalf of this, there are users who don't have this problem at all.
View 3 RepliesI have a project written in Visual Basic.NET and at each action I do have a statement for handling the exceptions (if any) :
Try
{what to do}
Catch exc As Exception
lib.WriteToLog("text", lib.GetLine(exc.ToString()))
End Try
I have some code to execute code at runtime...
Here is the main
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
If TextBox1.Text.Trim <> "" Then
If TextBox2.Text.Trim <> "" Then

When the button is pressed, it all works and the following files are created: yahoo.dll and yahoo.pdb My question is this: What is the code to load the already compiled yahoo files to execute the code again, without having to recompile the code?
Currently we're using in [code]... to set the namespace, can this be done in web.config, instead? I've looked but can't find where?

I have a set of classes that mimics enums (see my other questions for specific details/examples). For 90% of my project, I can compile everything in at design time. But the remaining 10% is going to need to be editable w/o re-compiling the project in VS 2010. This remaining 10% will be based on a templated version of my Enums class, but will generate code at runtime, based upon data values sourced in from external configuration files.what my Enums class looks like. The templated fields, per that question, will be the MaxEnums Int32, Names String() array, and Values array, plus each shared implementation of the Enums sub-class (which themselves, represent the Enums that I use elsewhere in my code).I'd like to parse values from a simple text file (INI-style) of key/value pairs:
[Section1]
Enum1=enum_one
Enum2=enum_two
Enum3=enum_three
So that the following code would be generated (and compiled) at runtime (comments/supporting code stripped to reduce question size):
Friend Shared ReadOnly MaxEnums As Int32 = 3
Private Shared ReadOnly _Names As String() = New String() _
{"enum_one", "enum_two", "enum_three"}
[code]....
I'm certain this would need to be generated in MSIL code, and I know from reading that the two components to look at are CodeDom and Reflection.Emit, but I was wondering if anyone had working examples (or pointers to working examples) versus really long articles. I'm a hands-on learner, so I have to have example code to play with.
I want to execute a code after every 5 min.I am trying to develop the application in .net and using the C# as a backend language.My basic requirement is a C# code which executes after every 5min which i click a start button on my .net form.
View 6 RepliesI have a hashtable of a class that contains a timer. When this timer elapses x amount of time, it calls a subroutine within the class. This subroutine calls several other functions and subroutines and then its done until the timer elapses again. Now one of the subroutines updates a label on the form and i can see that happening when its supposed to. There is another subroutine that should be updating another label but it is not. I believe this would be a simple correction but when i set a debug point on the routine it does not work. I'm not going to post the code for this as it is hundreds of lines of code and its probably just a configuration in the IDE that got changed somehow.
I run break points around the rest of the project just fine, even in other classes that use timers. Does anyone else have this problem of code being executed but not being able to debug it?
I have made some changes in my code but when i do debug it doesn't show the changes.For example: In my code i create a simple text file in "C" drive.I have change the path to the desktop and when i do debug it still create it in the "C" drive.
View 6 RepliesI am going nuts here. First time trying to debug an app that uses threads. I have a console application with a thread that calls Sub (Sub A) from a thread. I have been able to get the debugger to stop on breakpoints in Sub A by setting the condition to "Test" = Thread.CurrentThread.Name (and naming the thread "Test") Using a normal breakpoint does nothing.
However, in Sub A after it hits the breakpoint, any stepping (F10, F11) causes the Sub and app to exit instead of going to the next line of code.There is an IF / ELSE statement in Sub A. I have put a System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine statement in both the IF / ELSE blocks, yet none of this code executes. Sub A calls a webservice, so I initially thought something might have been crashing in that, so I tried running Sub A without using a separate thread and everything works as expected. Do I need to change some setting in VS2008's debugger?
A problem has started recently - I'm developing an ASP.NET application and when I click 'Start Debugging', it builds and opens a web page, but not where I can set breakpoints or step through the code. From within Visual Studio, it looks as if it's not running after the web page opens.
If I restart the computer, it works the first time or 2, but after a while it starts doing that again. Also, I'm using RDP to access my work computer to do my work. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, because I didn't notice this happening the last time I went to the office.
for example there is a file named abc.exe in c:
what would be the code for executing this file?
I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong. I need to convert Me.xCommissionLabel.Text = Format(Me.xCommissionLabel.Text, "currency") to a toString, so it displays a dollar sign, 2 decimal places. so I did this. Me.xCommissionLabel.Text = commissionLabel.ToString(CType("C", IFormatProvider))When I run the program and input the data I get: A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Commission Project.exe.

I have an app that allows a user to type in code that can be executed much like vba code in the office world.I currently execute this code with the Proprietary Dexterity code used with MS Dynamics - GP.However, my users need to be able to run outside the Dexterity world.The easy answer is to allow them to type in vb scripting or vb code instead of dex code.However, I can't find an easy way to dynamically execute their code within my methods.CodeCom looked like it could be the answer, but If i'm reading it right, I would have to know what libraries the user is using in their code for vb.Thus, I thought to simply limit them to vb scripting.Unfortunately, I can't find a way to execute vb scripting from within vb, (all the articles are ancient and most links fail - thus I gotta believe there is an easier way).I'm at a deadline where I developed the prototype but trying to use sql statements failed miserably when trying to execute.
View 3 RepliesI am totally new to VB2008, so please bear with this likely dumb question.
I have seen numerous "my first program" tutorial that show you how to create your form, put controls on it, etc. I can get through those just fine.
However, I am wondering: If I compile a set of subroutines into a .exe, how do I indicate which code/sub to execute initially? I am an old school programmer (remember COBOL?), and we always had a starting point; a set of code execute, that initiated execution of other subroutines, functions, etc.
I have dabbled in VBA for Excel, and MS Access, and even those, you indicate in the interface, and menus you create, that first bit of code that brings up the menu, or perhaps the program's main interface.
