Converting An Old Program From VB 5 To Run In VB 2010
Jul 20, 2011
I have been given the task of converting an old program from Vb 5 that needs to be able to run in VB2010. I have read a few forums on the subject but whatever I try doesn't work. The .bas files convert over fine and the code from the forms comes over, but the forms do not appear. Instead there is a bunch of gibberish. How can I convert this? I tried going to version 6, which the forms worked in, and then to 2010, but I couldn't get the vbp file to show up or the forms.

I am trying to a create a program that converts a Fahrenheit temperature to a Celsius temperature and vise versa. My form consists of three command buttons(Compute, clear, quit), two radiobuttons where you choose whether you want the entered temperatures to be converted from fahrenheit to celsius or celsius to fahrenheit, three text boxes(start value, stop value, increment), and a list box that displays the information. My problem is that the program needs to limit the conversions to 20 per computation. The program must verify that the range of values and increment will not generate more than 20 lines before any calculations are performed. I need a way to check whether more than 20 lines will be put into the list box before anything is actually put into the list box.
My current code is below.

I created a VB.NET winforms project using Visual Studio 2003, including reports done with CRystal Reports. I need to upgrade the system to the latest VB.NET using Visual Studio 2010. What kind of problems can I expect? How difficult will it be to convert the reports to Business Objects (which I believe is now th default in V Studio).
It's not a huge system about 6-8 screens and a similar number of reports using an Access 2000 Database. Most of the screens were coded directly in VB and not done with the automated processes at the time.

I came about these two functions (ReadHEX and WriteHEX) that, obviously, read a hex offset or write a hex offset of a file. However, these functions were written in VB6. The main thing I'm not understanding is how to open a file (in a filestream I presume) and then to either read or write a certain offset from the file. I'd also need to convert the string I'm writing to hex before I actually right it, but I've got that under control. Here's the current functions as they were written:

i was used to be vb 6.0. but now im starting with vb 2010 because 6.0 is old. but now i have a few problems with converting some things for my game that im making.
in 6.0 it was
modPlayer (module)
Public Player(1 To MAX_PLAYERS) as PlayerRec
Private Type PlayerRec
Name as string
Level as string
End Type
but this code gives in 2010 some errors; it says it should be structures right now?
Module modPlayerRec
Public Player(0 To 100) As PlayerRec
Structure PlayerRec
Public Name As String
End Structure
End Module
what should be the right code for vb 2010? this is not working what i have right now.

I'm trying to get the first checked item from a checked list box and turn it into a string. I tried using [code]But that threw an error at me: "Conversion from type 'FileInfo' to type 'String' is not valid." So then I thought of dumping it into an array. But then I couldn't convert the array to a string.Remember I only want one value. array(0)

I have a lot of keyboard keys stored in different formats. For example, "Up" may be stored as a string, as a decimal (200) or as hex (C8). I need to convert all of this different representations to strings so they can be easily understood by the user, and then back again when I save them.When I capture the key press using the KeyDown event, I can grab the decimal value from KeyEventArgs.KeyCode, which can easily be converted to hex if needed.

Is it possible to make this function iterative or must it be recursive?
The Function traverses a grid of x length and y height. At each point in the grid, it checks all of it's neighbors to see if they are valid, meaning they exist in the grid and haven't been used yet.
The function works in it's current form but I was wondering if an iterative version would be more efficient.
PathManip is a Stringbuilder, stores the path currently being manipulated. PathQueue is a List(Of String), stores all paths yet to be traversed.
IsPathAlreadyUsed is a boolean function that checks whether or not a specified point has been used in the current path.
Sub FindNeighbors(ByVal coords As String)
Dim x As Integer = CInt(coords(coords.Length - 2).ToString)
Dim y As Integer = CInt(coords(coords.Length - 1).ToString)

Working on a Sudoku program and I want to read a puzzle in from a file. So, I read the file in as a string in the form --3-2--1- and so on, where - means nothing starts in that cell. How do you convert a string to a short? I found the cshort function but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a different way or am I making some other mistake?
SudokuPuzzle is a string where I read in the file. squareValue(i,j) is the number is the ith row, jth column position of a correct solution I used 1 to 9, 1 to 9 as the indices for my puzzle (and just ignore the 0, though I did Dim as (0 to 9, 0 to 9)), so that is why I have the i - 1 and j - 1 in there.
For i = 1 To 9
For j = 1 To 9
If SudokuPuzzle.Substring(9 * (i - 1) + j - 1) <> "-" Then
squareValue(i, j) = CShort(SudokuPuzzle.Substring(9 * (i - 1) + j - 1))
End If
Next

I have an application that I created a while ago. It's a forms based application that runs on one of our servers at work. The app works well, BUT at the moment, requires someone to manually run it, which means having the admin account always logged in, but having the server locked.Although it's a forms based application, for the majority of the time I don't need to see the forms, so can I safely make this run as a service (by adding the appropriate code), and hiding the forms?Also, is there some code I can put in to test whether the instance of the program was started as a service or from a user double clicking on the icon? If so, I'd like the user initiated instance to run with the forms visible.

I wrote my own database handling code (actually, I write T4 text templating files that generate my database code for me) and part of it takes care of converting values from a database (as Objects) to the desired types.
I have been using this generic function successfully:
vb.net
Public Overridable Function ConvertType(Of T)(value As Object) As T
Try
Return If(value IsNot Nothing AndAlso value <> DBNull.Value, DirectCast(value, T), Nothing)
[Code]....
Simple enough, but it doesn't work... The return type of the function is (and must be) T, so I cannot return a Boolean because a Boolean cannot be converted to T!
Well... It can in this case, because I specifically check that T is Boolean, but the compiler doesn't know this so it doesn't allow me to return a Boolean. I cannot cast the boolean to T either.
