How do I protect dlls in my project from being referenced by other people?
View 1 RepliesI have created an application and a setup application for it.The application references Microsoft.mshtml.dll and another custom dll.The problem is that despite the fact that i added to the setup project the output of the application, these two dlls were not added in the setup project's "detected dependencies". Do i have to add them manually ? Do you know if Microsoft.mshtml.dll (C:Program FilesMicrosoft.NETPrimary Interop AssembliesMicrosoft.mshtml.dll)will work both on Windows XP and Windows Vista no matter what version of Internet Explorer is installed ?
View 1 RepliesWhat happened when parameter passing. Here is a test project I write.
Public Class Form1
'1.test string
Private Sub btnString_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnString.Click
Dim str1 As String = "x"
[Code] .....
From the project you can see, when pass integer type parameter (value type) into a method , if use ByVal keyword, the value won't change. If use ByRef keyword, the value will change (I can understand it, to my understanding, when using ByVal, It pass the value of the argument to the method; when using BvRef, it pass the address of the argument to the method, so the value can be rewrite)
Well, for the following two scenarios , I can't understand why.
String type is reference type, but it acts like integer type.
Val type is also reference type, but no matter what you use(ByVal or ByRef), the result will be the same.
So my question is what actually passed into method? What's the underlying mechanism about pass parameter? What's the effect of ByRef and ByVal to value type and reference type?
I am loading an assembly using LoadFrom method on a file located in another folder. The assembly is called VisualCronAPI.dll. The assembly that I load has references to another assembly (VisualCron.dll) which contains some general type definitions used in VisualCronAPI. The file VisualCron.dll resides in the same folder as isualCronAPI.dll.When using LoadFrom I see in the output that VisualCron.dll is loaded. I am able to retrieve all methods in VisualCronAPI that uses parameters from VisualCron.dll. I am able to see parameter values However, when trying to create a Type using the following code I get an exception:
Dim t As Type = assem.GetType("VisualCron.NetworkCredentialClass, true)
Exception: Could not load type 'VisualCron.NetworkCredentialClass' from assembly 'VisualCronAPI, Version=1.0.3.32487, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=55f7a52402de1c04'.

I am trying to instantiate a c# class whose project is referenced within a vb.net project.By providing the following declaration/instantiation of the class, I hoped to be able to access the instantiated classes publicly declared byte array within a vb.net module.The compiler won't let me. I get the message Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated. It wants me to replace the reference to the instantiated class and public member frameData() with the general Class definition name. Why can't I access frameData through the instantiated variable rxFrame?
View 5 RepliesWhen I try to compile my VB.NET web project, I get an error that reads:[PropertyName] is not a member of '[Namespace.Class]'The class referenced is part of a dll that the project references. The property definitely exists in the referenced class, and its access modifier is Public. What's more, if I update the reference, or just remove it and add it back, the error goes away: the intellisense shows my property -- all is fine.. that is until I try to compile again. Then the error returns. I've even restarted Visual Studio to no avail. What is going on?[UPDATE]After Will's comment, I've changed the namespace to something I am absolutely sure is unique. Now, I am getting more compiler errors of the same genre. The compiler is not recognizing some of the overloads although they are right there in intellisense. Weird!

I have a very small VS2008 Winforms project that will not start.When I attempt to start debugging the project, I get the message:'<form>' is a type in '<project>' and cannot be used in an expression.From the file .Designer.vb.The problem is that is indeed a form. If I create a new WinForm and set the startup object to the new form, I get the same message.When I attempt to check the "Enable application framework" checkbox in the Project properties, I get the message "Startup object must be a form when 'Enable application framework' is checked.I've tried creating a new project and moving all the code and designer objects to a new form file in the new project, and same result.Other projects on the same computer run fine.
View 1 RepliesI know that I can launch activate/Use functions in assemblies that I have created, but can I start subs? and If so could I start Sub Main from an Assemble? What I mean is I want to run the created program in memory from a sub main and I dont know how .
My other question is how can I change the type of output project? So from a console app to a Windows Form app? ( I am no longer talking about using the assembly dynamicly this is more about creating the physical exe as what I want it as.
I know that they are the Compiler options command line but is it the same as the ones that Visual studio use when compiling? (The ones you see in the out put window)

I previously asked around about what type of project to use for my app but I got a lot of responses about defeating captchas and spam apps.The program is a for a social bookmarking app that I want to create. I have about 150 macros created that already navigate to each site and log me in and submit my website's url.....the only thing is that I am planning on going into the Search Engine Optimizating business so I will be needing to enter a lot of different website's url so I decided that I would try to custom code an app that would have a simple textbox field for me to enter a website url and then a submit button to run the scripts in the background....as the captchas would appear they would be redirected from the website into a picturebox in the program where i can read them and enter the captcha into a textbox and hit a submit button that would enter my answer into the answer box for the captcha and then press the okay box.....each each script is executed the new catcpha would appear in the VB app so that I wouldn't have to manually be at each site to see the captcha but it would be redirected to the VB app for me to enter.
what would be the best type of project to use to create this type of app? I'm thinking that a Windows Form project would be good because I could use the textboxes and buttons but I'm not sure on how I can control the macros to run in the background..
I am new to this forum and also to vb.net (am an ex vb6 programmer)..I installed visual studio 2010 premium edition and it works with my own projects BUT trying to open the microsoft Lab5 solution file I get this error:
"/file cannot be opened because its project type (.csproj) is not supported by this version of the application"
I've downloaded the MSDN "101 VB Samples" from the MS site and I'm getting an error that reads "The project type is not supported by this installation". I can open the other files that I've tried (about a dozen in other folders), so I'm wondering if it is something specific with the VSTO files, or something about my VB setup.
I thought at first it was a problem with the path where the file is sitting, but even moving it from C:Documents and Settings[my name]My DocumentsMSDN to C: didn't work...Edit: I have also tried opening in notepad and converting the file to UTF-8, changing the File Association from MS Visual Studio version selector to devenv.exe, and running devenv /setup at the command prompt, all with no luck (all these ideas were found through Googling the error message....).
I am quite new to the VB scene, and am still quite confused by the variety of options presented as far as choosing the correct project type.I have been coding for roughly 4 years now and consider myself still to be a beginner. My past experiences include, hmtl, C++, vba, assembly, and a few others which I'm sure currently escape me.However, VB is a whole new boat and I'm just not sure where to get started with what I want to do.I've Googled the internet, went through the MSDN, and even did some tutorials.My current dilemma is I wish to make a program that will do a the following: Allow a User to download a set of data from an embedded web page.Open an excel file Download more data from a different web page.Open another excel document..I'm sure this is probably quite simple to do (read: I hope...). However I'm just not sure where to begin as far as choosing a project type. Additionally I'd like to have it set up with buttons, where button1 reads something along the lines of "Step 1: Click Here to Go and Download Data", "Step 2: Click Here to browse to excel file", etc etc.What type of project do I chose to get the stuff done on my list?
View 8 RepliesEach time I create a program, if I don't change the CPU type to x86 in the Project Properties, Compile, Advanced Compile options, it doesn't work. For example, if I hit the drop down button on a combo box, there will be no data, but after switching to x86, there is data. How does changing the CPU type affect how others (such as when its being graded) view the program? If the program is not run on an x86 system, would it appear to not work then?
