How can I choose which resources to compile depending of the compile constants used? So, if VAR1=0 then I wouldn't add RESOURCE_A to my final assembly.
I searched around, but didn't find any info regarding this... I guess I'm using the wrong keywords, since I doubt nobody else had this problem/doubt ever before.
Also, I use both VS2005 and 2008 at my job, mainly VB, although I haven't got any problem using C# either.
In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:
<data name="cmdFenster.ShortcutKeys" type="System.Windows.Forms.Keys, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>Ctrl+F1</value>
</data>
It will compile fine with VB2008, but not with VB2010. Notice: The VB2010 also generates this Code in the resx file
I'm new at this forum but I hope to get my doubts cleared I want to make a program which will work basically with cmd commands.Example of cmd command:adb install <path-to-apk>But that <path-to-apk> I wanted it to be user defined.Right now I'm forcing the user to place their files into a specific folder with a specific name....
View 4 RepliesI've asked a very similar question before, but this time is not about VB syntax, but rather the best approach. I'm making a method that, when passed a component, will recolor it and all components contained within it. Below is the code I have so far, but it is not recoloring all components, instead only a mere few. My main problem is buttons staying in their "3D" styles and not becoming "flat".
[Code]...
The component passed is comp, and the getColor method looks into a database and returns a color corresponding to the part parameter passed to the method. This works for all low-level components and all simple components like labels.As you can see, this is not my preferred outcome. Does anyone know how to recolor spinners, buttons, and menu bars? Again, I need the button to end up being flat.
This is a follow up to my previous question: Filter DirectoryInfo files by date in asp.net
I have a gridview that is populating data from DirectoryInfo. However, I only want to display certain columns, and customize the column names and the hyperlink value in the row.
My code is:
Dim files As FileInfo() = New DirectoryInfo(strDirectoryPath).GetFiles().Where(Function(x) x.LastWriteTime >= (dtStartDate) AndAlso x.LastWriteTime <= (dtEndDate)).ToArray()
[Code]....
How can I loop through the columns, to display only "name", "extension" and LastWriteTime?
<DllImport("dwmapi.dll")> _
Private Shared Sub DwmEnableBlurBehindWindow(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByRef blurBehind As DWM_BLURBEHIND)

If con.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then con.Open()

I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.
View 8 RepliesSo i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)

I have an application that we wrote here at work that uses the SharpSVN wrapper for SVN. It has served us well of the past few years. However, we have started bringing in 64-bit systems and our application cannot seem to access the SharpSVN dll on these systems. I have downloaded the 64-bit version of the SharpSVN dll and I am wondering what to do next. I cannot stop my 32-bit users from using the application, so I need to be able to compile for both platforms. Luckily, with this application, we split different layers of the ntier stack into separate projects within the solution so my business layer that utilizes the SharpSVN dll is on its own.How would I go about compiling both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of my application without having to maintain two copies of the project?

I am having difficulty dynamically compiling a DLL for use with Silverlight 3.0. My goal is to take some rules provided by my users and compile them into a DLL for custom editing purposes.I created a Silverlight class library project in Visual Studio to get the command line for compiling a Silverlight class library. Based on that and the many examples for compiling VB using the VBCodeProvider, I came up with the following method for comping code in a string to a DLL:
Public Function Compile(ByVal code As String, ByVal assemblyName As String) As CompilerResults
' set the compiler parameters
Dim parameters As CompilerParameters = New CompilerParameters()
parameters.OutputAssembly = assemblyName
[code]....
This does not compile with the following error:vbc : Command line (0,0) : error BC2010: compilation failed : 'Member 'IsNumeric' cannot be found in class 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information'. This condition is usually the result of a mismatched 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll'.'
I've looked and, in fact, the Silverlight version of the class Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information does not contain member IsNumeric. So I appear to be picking up the correct libraries using the sdkpath option. But I have no idea why I'm trying to call that method in the first place.how to successfully compile source code dynamically into a Silverlight compatible class library?
Suppose I have a solution containing several projects. I set the compiling path as ..in folder. A reference file xxx.dll is used in project aaa, yyy.dll is used in project bbb etc.
xxx.dll and yyy.dll are stored in c:sharedlls folder.
My question is that if I compile the entire solution, do xxx.dll and yyy.dll are draged into ..in folder automatelly?
I am not clear the purpose of the compiling of the solution exactly.

View 3 RepliesAfter reading a couple of tutorials, it seems that basically NET works quite like java. All the IDE's produce an intermediate code that I have to distribute, and which NET compiles at runtime to machine code and then executes it. Leaving aside the question why so when NET works only on Windows platforms, I have some other more practical questions:Is it possible to directly compile to machine code targeted at specific platform like XP 32-bit or Win7 64-bit?

View 4 RepliesI keep getting this error when I try and use a MS Access database in my application:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
After Google'ing the error for a while I came to see that this is a problem when running the application in 64-bit mode. If I was to compile the app in 32-bit it would work, so I went to try and find out how to do it. I got as far as the advanced compiling options in my projects settings page, but then I also read that I can't even set the CPU type in Visual Basic 2008 Express.
is this true? Is there no way I can set my project to run in 32-bit mode? The thing is, I did a similar thing with a database a few months ago and this worked, and I don't remember in the slightest what I did.
EDIT: After taking a look at my old projects compiling options, it is indeed set for Active (x86) Platform, but this option is not showing up in my new project. Weird.
EDIT 2: Here's a screenshot. Top one is the old project with the 32-bit running option and the bottom is the new one without those options.

compile my .hta file (and resources) to a .exe file.There are plenty of applications that claim to be able to do this - but they have not worked for this application - which is a mixture of javascript and VB.Simply, (and naively,) I don't want people looking at / screwing with the code.
EDIT: Of course, I understand that javascript and VB are not "compilable" since they are interpreted languages. I am just looking for a way to truly hide the source.
I have been using VB2005 for many years on 2 PCs. Over the last month I have been getting an error when I try to run the project from the IDE:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "objx86DebugBackup.exe" to "binx86DebugBackup.exe". The process cannot access the file 'binx86DebugBackup.exe' because it is being used by another process.
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets 2324 9 Backup
My questions:
1. What has changed?
2. One thread I found suggested that it is a bug, but if true is this something that has been introduced recently (I'm not aware up updating VB2005 unless it happened as part of the general updates).
3. How do I get it back to where it was?
The file is actually locked by my own process, no other application can be using it. I've even tried it with a few line noddy program. I always have to come right out of the IDE, wait a couple of minutes and then go back in - a total productivity killer.
It is my understanding that in .Net 4.0, VB will have an in-memory compiler.
I have to admit I don't know a lot about the compilers so I'm trying to understand the advantage of this as compared to what we had before this. Also, will C# be coming out with the same type of compiler?
has anyone seen this error with compiling web components in vb.net? i added axspreadsheet on to my form and it does not compile.[code]
View 1 RepliesA lot of my programs require the ability to write files to the hard drive. When I first made these programs for XP they worked great. Now I'm less ignorant about UAC (got a new laptop recently). And for future customers...I've noticed the potential for a LOT of annoying error messages....and quite frankly if the program can't write data to the hard drive or thumb drive it's on...there's no point to running it....
I've tried multiple times to build in the manifest a requirement for administrator or user access....I'm not sure if anything less would solve the problem...but have failed because click-once has security features in place to prevent me from doing so.I'd rather not have to tell my customers how to make the program run as an administrator by editing the file's properties...I'd much rather have a convenient pop up like what you'd see new programs such as Itunes or Filezilla show if they were in conflict with UAC requesting the privileges they need.
I'd really like to do this but have had little success.
