I'm trying to create heirarchy of classes in vb.net. I was able to achieve it in csharp by using the following tags in .csproj
<Compile Include="ClassA.cs">
<DependentUpon>ClassB.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
Below snippet in the solution explorer would be as follows
I need to achieve the same in vb.net.
I'm new to vb.net. Can anybody tell me the alternative of <DependUpon> attribute used in .csproj equivalent in .vbproj. For some reason, this attribute seems to be ignored in the .vbproj even though it is displayed in the visualstudio2010 intellisence.
My program actually downloads a zip file then extracts it onto their desktop. But I need an uninstall feature for it, which is basically deleting multiple folders and containing files. How can I do this in vb.net?

I'm developing an application in vb.net. You drag any type of file onto the exe, and a window pops up with some options for the file, then it saves the file to a different location, works some SQL magic, etc. It works great for the most part. The only issue I've found is that if the path of the file contains any spaces, the application will crash immediately with the error window:[URl]..I'm using: Private filename as String = Command$ This is located right inside my form's class declaration, not within a sub/function.Without this line, my program runs fine (although useless, without accessing the file).I've also tried (I think this was it, I don't have the code with me at the moment): Private filename as String = Environment.CommandLine So, in vb.net, is there a way to drag a file onto an exe and use that path name, even if there are spaces in the path name?
View 2 RepliesI'm writing a small pet program in VB2010 Express

Form1
Label1 to Label7
I want these labels to display the text from a third party Software program.
The text is displayed in a child form of the main form the text is in
"window handle is 000E0678"" RichEdit20W"
The text scroll up continuously,
every time - let's say
John (10year) 'is displayed, it takes the 10y and place it
in Label1
Ann (22year 7Street) 'is displayed, it takes the 22y & place it in Label2 7St in Label3
get that text in the labels I only know a little VB. I have used Spy++ to get the window handle

View 2 RepliesWhat I have is on my form there are several text boxes. These text boxes are for user input and attached to each text box is a Private Sub txtBox1_KeyPress function. In that function I have some validation code to check that the user is inputing only what I want them to. And if it doesnt it will pop up a message box telling them so, then it is supposed to clear the text box so the user can try again. But no matter what I try, the text box does not clear it still keeps the last character typed (the invalid one).
Here is the code for one of the text boxes.
Private Sub txtLanIp_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtLanIp.KeyPress
Dim strEmpty As String = ""
If Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) = True Or Char.IsPunctuation(e.KeyChar) = True Or Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) = True Then
'do nothing
[code]....
The commented methods at the bottom are some of the other things ive tried to make this work. The txtLanIp.text.clear() is what ive tried from the beginning. I have also tried setting the text to "", I even created an empty string and set the .Text value to it but no matter what it wont remove that character. I have also tried various trim(), len(), Select() functions, most either give me an 'index out of range error', a 'length cannot be less than zero' error or a general ExceptionOutOfBounds error. I am just tearing my hair out as to why the simple way doesnt work, there is no logical reason why and it gives no error it just doesn't clear the box.
I have also tried moving the validation to a _LostFocus but e.KeyChar isnt a valid method or property for that declaration, which doesn't surprise me but I wanted to try everything.I dont see how it would matter in this case but I am running Windows XP Pro SP3, though I also see the same behavior in Windows 7 64 bit ultimate sp1 and windows 7 64 bit pro.
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.

Today I noticed that Visual Studio 2008 always treats a file as if it was a component or a form if this file contains a definition of one.This means that it always opens the designer by default. I think this behavior is very annoying, because a file containing a class that derives from form or control does not have to be an actual form or control and I want to edit the source by default.

View 4 RepliesI've been tasked with writing an app that reads in various text files(.csv, .txt) in different formats with different delimiters.I then need to compare certain data in these files and report the differences.There are a couple of columns that are common between the files, but they aren't in the same place, and there is inconsistent and unnecessary header info.There is extra data(columns) in these files that I don't need.Should I parse these files into a datatable? Should I create an object for each file type to format the data and get rid of the unnecessary info?I'm not sure about the best way to tackle this problem.
View 1 RepliesI have been tasked with creating an app that will read in various text files(.csv, .txt) and compare some of the data contained within.
I thought I would read in the files and convert them to datatables. Once I had them in a datatable I figured I could remove the unnecessary rows/columns and then sort and compare the pertinent info for differences. The difficulty is that the various files are formatted differently so I will need to get each type formatted correctly. Is this the best approach?
I have read in a .csv, parsed it into a datatable, but I'm having trouble with the logic/coding to get rid of the rows and columns that I don't need. Also, I'm not sure how to handle a row that has a cell with a comma seperated list of values that will need to be split into individual rows.
