I'm using an interop dll in a VB.NET project to get access to some functions in a MFC project.
Dim bIsSupposedToWork As Boolean = True
Dim api As API = GetObject(, "MyProject.API")
[CODE]...
Why?
I have a COM component that I want to call using late-binding from VB.NET (using Primary Interop Assembly - PIA method). My IDL signature for the COM method looks like:
HRESULT Send([in]BSTR bstrRequestData,
[out]VARIANT *pvbstrResponseData,
[out]VARIANT *pvnExtCompCode,
[out,retval]int *pnCompletionCode);
So 2 'ByRef' parameters in VB.NET lingo, and a return value. I attempt to invoke this method like so:
Dim parameters(2) As Object
parameters(0) = "data"
parameters(1) = New Object()
parameters(2) = New Object()
Dim p As New ParameterModifier(3)
[Code] .....
This fails spectactularly with an exception: {"Invalid callee. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020010 (DISP_E_BADCALLEE))"}
I assume this means I'm doing something wrong in my parameterMods array. Because if I comment out setting any value of the ParameterMods array to 'True' - it works. It of course doesnt update the parameters that are [out] parameters and so it's not working as intended. Is there something else to consider since the method also has a return value? The MSDN example pretty much does exactly what I am doing, with the exception that example did not have a return value.
I have searched for two weeks, every night, exhaustively reading forum threads and trying all suggested solutions no matter how outlandish. Just as is the case with the many many forum threads about this same issue, the site works fine on my development machine. It deploys with no errors. It works from the production server and reads data from the database, but when it attempts to access a profile it crashes with this error.
A number of posts say to check or uncheck an option called "remove app_code.compiled file" but apparently this was a Visual Studio 2005 option. It is nowhere to be found in Visual Studio 2010. A number of posts say to make sure the App_Code.dll is present in my bin directory. It is present. I've deleted the app_code.compile file manually to see if that made any difference. I've changed the target framework from 4.0 to 2.0 and 3.5. I've completely deleted the site in IIS, created a different folder with a different name and redeployed the site with every combination of "allow this precompiled site to be updatable" and "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies".
i've included references to System.Web.Profile and System.Web and System.Web.Profile.ProfileCommon. I've created a new, fresh website targeting .net framework v4.0 and copied that web.config file to my application and recreated my profile entries to ensure that I didn't jack anything up in the config file along the way.
I'm using VS2010, vb.net, .net framework 4.0, and SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows 7 Pro with all updates installed. I have developed a website that uses memberships, profiles, and roles. I allowed the built in providers to create the aspnetdb.mdf file for me in the App_Data folder. I added a number of my own tables to aspnetdb.mdf so I would have a single database for all my site's data.
I am hosting the site on my own server. It uses Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6, SQL 2008 Express, and all of my software including the OS is up to date with the the latest servicepacks, updates, and all of the .net framework updates including 4.0. There are no updates left to install and I'm sure that my issue isn't due to a missing update or framework version.
I copied the aspnetdb.mdf and .ldf files from my app_code folder to the sql server express folder on my server and attached the database. I do this because I don't want the file to autoattach, because I will likely use a commercial hosting service in the future. I added a sql server user with ownership rights to the DB. strong text
I then modified my connection string in web.config to point to the UNC of my SQL Instance on my server and to authenticate with the sql server username and password that I set up with ownership rights to that database. I updated my membership, role, and profile providers in my web.config file to use the new sql connectionstring and I was sure to include the application="/" setting and to use before each provider.
I can run the site just fine from my development machine. I can log on to it and use all of its features. However, when I publish the site to my server I can access the site, both locally over my intranet and over the internet. I can navigate around on it and it retrieves all of the data from the tables that I added to the database myself, but when I try to log on to it or to create a new account (basically anything that uses memberships, roles, or profiles) the site crashes with the error and all of the data below.
I've checked to verify that the application name in my aspnetdb database is in fact simply "/". I've ensured that I'm running from an application pool that is using the 4.0 framework. Much of the googling and reading that I've done seems to indicate a problem with my providers, but I can't understand why it works perfectly on Casini (or whatever the development server is called) on my local machine but crashes on my web server. In both cases they are connecting to the same database.
I would be so grateful if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong here. Following are the full error displayed by my server when the site crashes and also what I feel are the relevant sections of my web.config file.Full content of error message and relevant sections of web.config are below:
Server Error in '/' Application.

View 1 RepliesI have a hashtable that stores sports players: key = jersey number, value = an array of information...and what I am trying to do is put this information into combobox (but only showing a certain array elements), so for example say this was the information stored in the hashtable:
(key,{value})
"01",{"john smith","125lbs","qb"}
"02",{"john doe","205lbs","rb"}
so what I have done is created an arraylist that will store the items in the combobox.but my problem happends when I try to loop through the array from the hashtable values.
(playerlisting is the hashtable)
Dim playerlist As New ArrayList
[code]....
The above works, however since it's a foreach loop I cannot specify which array indexes I want to add onto the "listitem" string.
Dim arr As Array = CType(item.Value, Array)
For i = 0 To arr.Length - 1
listitem += arr(i) & " "
Next
But, when I try a simple forloop instead I get a "late binding" error with the 3rd line. Even when I cast the arr(i) as a string I get the error. What needs to be changed?
For some reason VS is giving me a number of late binding errors: "Option Strict On Disallows Late Binding".Here is a sample of the
vb.net

Me.ShapeContainer1.Shapes(veryTop).backcolor = SystemColors.Control

The error is occurring on line 2. I was hoping someone knew how to fix it without turning off Option Strict.
how I can avoid the late binding error while Option Strict is On with the following code?
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Imports System[code]....
While debugging my code for an error, I activated Option Strict On.
I'm getting the error Option Strict On dissallows late binding Here is the code:

I started programming in VBA, then graduated to VB6, and I am now using VB.NET 2008 Express.I have read, in the various posts, that I should keep Option Explicit and Option Strict both on, in order that I use correct VB.NET code and not VB6.I am trying to do that but am totally confused with the results of one of my programmes that was running perfectly with Option Strict off, but now advises:Option Strict On disallows late binding. To me it appears that I am using early binding, but to be honest I am not clear on the binding situation. I have checked through a number of google items, and a number of this Forum's items without seeing the light.[code]

I'm getting the following exception when I try to run up my Winforms app and haven't been able to find a solution to it:
System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled

Parameter name: activationContext

I've added a handler for the "unhandled error" event in the applicationevents class but it never reaches that stage and there is no source code running that I can break into and diagnose.
The application was fine until I added a user control (nothing fancy, just a standard windows user control) and then dragged it onto a form in the app (user control and form were in the same application). The application builds and compiles without any errors or warnings but when I attempt to run it up I get the above error straight away.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be or even how I can go about investigating it? I'm a bit stumped on this one as I'm not sure how to investigate it. I removed the user control from the form and then I removed the user control from the application entirely but the error hasn't gone away. In all honesty the addition of the user control might be a red herring but the problem manifested straight after adding it.

I am trying to convert a vb.net project to vb.net project with Option Strict On and I am getting some late binding errors like this :
CODE:
The error appears under pageArray(2).
I work with C# 99% of the time. However, I'm having to update some legacy VB.Net code and encountering an issue with VB.Net code syntax. The error that I get is "ByRef" is underlined and "Expected Expression" tag shows up when you hover over "ByRef". The "FooDetail.Load" function is written in C# and expects a List object passed as reference. Don't have any trouble using the same function in other C# classes. Can someone indicate what is wrong with below VB.Net code.
Dim FooDetail As New clsFooDetail()
FooDetail.FooID = FooID
Dim lstFooDetail As New List(Of clsFooDetail)
FooDetail.Load(ConnectionString, "Stored Procedure", ByRef lstFooDetail as System.Collection.List(Of(clsFooDetail))

View 5 RepliesSo I am taking a stab at converting a large VBA project I'm working into .NET. It's in VBA right now only because of convenience of a database (MS Access). But having stumbled upon VB 2010 Express, I'm seeing what I can do in .NET to make my project even better.To that end, one trick I am doing in the VBA project involves late binding.[code]To provide a simplified example, lets say I have three classes, clsOne, clsTwo, and clsThree. They are themselves similar, and in .NET, I'm actually reducing the code each has due to proper class inheritance. But I need to understand how to move away from late-binding, which I use in the VBA project.Now reading into VB .NET some, I've come across the 'Of' keyword, and this looks like the holy grail that I've been seeking. Please understand that these example is not actual code, and the issue cannot be solved (as far as I know) by fancy inheritance and overloading/overriding.[code]
