I have an application written in 2005 using VB Express. It uses a DLL from a supplier who is now defunct, so I have no idea what language it was written in.I have moved to a new machine running Windows 7 (64-bit) and installed the DLL on it OK (it installed into the x86 folder, so I assume it's 32-bit). The sample program supplied with it runs OK, so I know that it works. However, the application's .exe file which I copied over fails with an error message saying "cannot create ActiveX component".The offending line of the program is:
CDTextReader is the name of the DLL.I've downloaded VB Express 2010, but when I build the program using it the same thing happens.how I can get it to work? I've tried compiling it for 32-bit but get the same result.
I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.
I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.
Is VB Express 2010 slower to compile and run that older versions of VB Express? I've installed it this weekend and it seems a little sluggish on my quad core computer with 1 gig of RAM. I have VB Express 2005 installed for my students at school and it seems to fly just fine. Those school computers are older P4s with 512k of RAM.
Initially my app worked with excel fine, now it causes my computer to reboot only after Excel has been opened (two or more times). I have opened and closed Excel files 20+ times without running thru either of my apps (they all uses identical code for excel) and it has never caused a reboot or a crash.
run either of my apps and have the app control excel has become a crap shoot, it will reboot my computer. Adding to that I then have to do a manual shutdown because the reboot process after is unstable. (System doesn't respond properly). My code in this app is small, should make for a good example. I can provide the entire project to anyone who would volunteer to test it. (First I need to know how to send the project).
there Dream in Code Community! Im an okay programmer as far as skill right now I am still learning as we all are I need some help from some experienced VB.NET programmers in the community, Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords.
If I create a DLL using VB 2010 express can it be used by previous versions of of .Net (3.5, 2.0)? Will the DLL use .Net 4.0 components, which is what I want. I don't see a way to force that to be the case.
this is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.
1. I've registered my VB 2010 Express, will it still expire?
2. Will the applications I made using VB 2010 Express expire after some time?
3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.
4. I've been working on an application for a week now, but suddenly I can no longer access my Design View(Shift-F7). All my codes are written on the [form name].Designer.vb. I can still view my codes but I cant access my form layout. On the solution explorer, my forms no longer have the 'form icon'. When i press Shift-F7 nothing happens. Right-clicking the form on the solution explorer doesn't show 'View Designer' option. How can I fix this?
Is there any way that a sub in class one can call the sub in class two?
In other words, I have a main class that instantiates objects from other classes, but I want one of those other classes to be able to 'talk back' to the main class without being polled.
I have a MDIParent Form named "frm_discipulus.vb" which opens a MDIChild Form named "frm_gestionare_cursanti.vb"
Private Sub tsm_cursanti_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tsm_cursanti.Click Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor Dim frm_mdi_gestionare_cursanti As New frm_gestionare_cursanti frm_mdi_gestionare_cursanti.MdiParent = Me
[code].....
I have tried to call the "Public Sub frm_gestionare_cursanti()" by using the code
frm_gestionare_cursanti.afisare_note_obtinute()
And nothing hapends.Why ?What should i do to refresh the DGV on MDIChild?
I am learning VB for the moment. I want to copy/paste code from a PDF to Visual Basic 2010 Exppress, but if i paste the (structured in PDF) code to VB, i get 1 long string of code and need to restructure it by entering after each line. Otherwise VB gives me a lot of errors. This is a time consuming work. Isn't there a way, VB puts the code in the right format?
essentially I need to create a class that houses the methods and then call the methods in the form but I can't seem to find out what the right code is to call it. I think there may be an issue with the conversion from a double to a string.
This is what I have for the Class
Public Class Aircraft Dim Names() As String = {"A-747", "A-737", "C-150", "D-240"} Dim TakeOffVelocity() As Double = {250, 264, 270, 240} Dim Acceleration() As Double = {33.5, 44.2, 37.1, 51.9}
I have create a small routine to Generate Tabpages on a tabcontrol, and on each tabpage I have Created a label and a combobox, my problem is that since Im generating them in the code and the name of the two controls change based on an index.. ie. Combobox.name = "cmb" + Index I need to be able to retrieve the selected item from this combobox in order to move on to my next routine.. but I do not know how to reference these comboboxs since there is no pre or defined named for them.
I'm having trouble on calling a public sub on another form. Here is the sub: Public Sub BOTAO_NUMERICO(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles N0.Click, N1.Click, N2.Click, N3.Click, N4.Click, N5.Click, N6.Click, N7.Click, N8.Click, N9.Click Dim Res_ant As String Dim Res_atu As Double If (Res <> 0) Then [Code] .....
On form Normal, BOTAO_NUMERICO works fine, but on Cientifica it don't. OBS: All objects on both forms are the same, with same name.
I'm currently having issues calling a .ps1 file in my vb.net project. The program is supposed to provide a simple way for end users to unlock Active Directory accounts. The vb.net project is simply a text box with a button. Users will type the username of the locked account. When the button is pressed, the program writes whatever is in the text box into a CSV file. The CSV file has a samAccountName column in it. After the file is written to, the program then calls a Powershell script that reads the CSV file and unlocks the account based upon what is in the file.The program does everything it is supposed to except for calling the Powershell script to actually unlock the account. I've tried a Process.Start(filePath) which would open the file, but opened in notepad and didn't execute anything. Right now the program is calling a batch file which is supposed to run the script in Powershell but that attempt also failed.
So the reason i'm creating this tread is this, i'm programming a app that display the cafeteria opening time and closing time at my school. This program is running as a system tray app which on mouse-on display the opening/cosing time at the tray, also other features but thats not important at this point.
I'm getting the wrong output, a random value from my "regnestykke", at my tray.
I'm trying to create an installer with VB 2010 Express. In order to do that, I need my project to have some files embeded so I can copy them in the installation directory. How could I make this (embed the files and then acces them from my code)?
I am pretty well a novice to Visual Basic 2010 and am trying out the VB2010 express edition. I not the the coding syntax for VB2010 is different from VB6. I'd like well documented code for opening Excel, creating/opening a Workbook, reading and writing data and closing Excel Workbook when I exit the VB2010 form.
I am developing a VB2010 application form which I'd like to work dynamically with an existing MS 2003 Excel spreadsheet that will be provided with the application . The VB2010 form provides some data input for cells in a worksheet (named "Fuels") in an existing Excel Workbook called "carbonfootprinter.xls". Based on the input data, calculations are performed and the corresponding results are output to other cells in the same "Fuels" worksheet. The results are then also graphed in the Excel Workbook. When the application form loads, I'd like VB2010 code that checks if the "carbonfootprinter.xls" exists and is open, if not then it should be opened to receive data input from the VB2010 form and to perform calculations,and finally the VB 2010 application should close the Excel spreadsheet
In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line: Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.
In the exam paper, student have to check the checkboxes [usercontrol does not work] whether the question is correct or wrong.Now as I have hundreds of questions, I cannot write the same code again and again with the IF conditions, is there anyway to make it a function or something then call it whenever is needed.As well as I wanted the marks to be added when a student submits the paper.
A thread listens for incoming information from a server will add the received string to a custom control (containing a textbox and a listbox, I've called it console). This requires an invoke so I used the following
Dim InvWriteCons As Console = Gary.ChatCons Dim INvWriteText As String = "DEFAULT" Public Sub InvWrite(ByVal cons As Console, ByVal message As String)
I created a STRING SEARCH function in C/C++ - and I'm trying to use it in a multi-threaded situation in VB. I started this problem in a thread in the C/C++ section of the forum - here [URL] my last post shows me getting this error trying to call the function. Ran the code - got to that point - and in the immediate window I did
