I have an old system developed in Visual Basic. How can I determine what Visual Studio version to use based on the source code files? I've tried to upgrade the application using VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010. With VS2005 when I attempt to upgrade the source, it says the system was developed in a newer version. I currently have VS2005 version 8.0.50727.42 installed.
View 4 RepliesThis started happening randomly yesterday. When I press F5 to test my project, an old build of the program (circa yesterday afternoon) launches. No changes (and I've tried in a few different files) are reflected in the project. However, and this is truly perplexing, if I go to Build --> Build from the Menu bar, the output .exe in the /bin/release/ directory DOES include all the recent changes.

In the "old days" I was working with Linux to create C/C++ programs (really really BASIC...HA!...programs, just learning to program in the courses as an intro) by creating a text file with the source code that was then fed to the compiler/linker that then spit out the executable binary.

I am trying to convert a VB.NET web site project to a web application project, yet the in web application project, my code-behind files are not visible unless I set the solution explorer "show all files" option. Why is this? What setting can I change so that my code behind files are always visible?
View 1 RepliesI'm maintaining a WinForms application which was not written using any development patters conducive to localizing the classes in the project which were not directly associated with forms, or the code-behind partials of the forms.Thus, there is MessageBox() code with English text in it in almost every code file. I'd like to find a tool which will "scrape" those strings from the code, insert the strings in a resource file, and substitute a call to the resource with the substituted string in a comment.
View 4 RepliesDoes 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 have developed a small application in VB.NET 2008. It uses .net framework 3.5. But somehow it also runs in computers with .net framework 2 or 2.5. Is there a way to determine thru code what is the latest version of .net framework the pc is running. This way I can give a warning message box that the required framework is not installed.

When i try to create a new VB project (.exe or .dll - doesn't matter) or try to open an existing one, I receive the following error:
"C:Documents and Settings.....WindowsApplication1.vbproj" cannot be opened because its project type (.vbproj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio.
To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.
I tried un-installing Visual Studio and then re-installing again - same result.
It was working fine in the beginning. Between the last time it worked and the first time it didn't - I installed some Oracle tools, not sure if that affected anything. What's interesting - the problem is only with VB projects, C# projects can be created and opened.

View 3 RepliesI tried to install Microsoft Silverlight 2 but fail - fatal operation however I managed to install Silverlight 3 for Visual Studio 2008. Do you think I need to install Silverlight 2 as well because it clearly to see that Silverlight 3 is a latest version. Please response. Secondly for Visual Studio 2010 I managed to install very easily with Silverlight 4. There is no problem at all. I think, I more likely in VS 2010 Professional. But I have to keep this together (VS 2008 and VS 2010) because I still need to develop certain program. Can I maintain both of this version together?

View 2 RepliesFollowing on from my last question, are the AssemblyMajorVersion, AssemblyMinorVersion,AssemblyRevisionNumber and GenerateRevisionNumber properties required in .vbproj files?
All of our components have these entries in the .vbproj files but they are completely out of sync with the AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion entries in the AssemblyInfo.vb files.
Are they a legacy from the upgrade from previous VS versions?

View 2 RepliesI recently acquired a job as IT Support/Developer for a small company. I inherited responsibility for their customer relationship managing system("CRM"). I did not build the web application, but I was expected to remove small bugs and input improvements. The version of the application was it was running on the live server was obviously in its release build, with all code-behind files compiled and hidden away.I was able to find the original application project folder with the aspx and vb source files contained within. I installed Visual Studio 2008 with SP1 onto my work machine, and opened the application as a website. Initially the problem I had was the breakpoints weren't working because the correct symbols weren't being loaded. After a large headache I was able to track down/ generate the correct pdb files, and it stopped complaining about that.As it stands, I can build the website and run it in the debugger. In its completely unmodified state any breakpoints inserted work perfectly fine, however, as soon as I add or modify any new code, the breakpoints cease to work; "Breakpoint will not currently be hit. Source code is different from the original version." As far as I can tell it does not matter which code-behind file I edit the code within, as soon as I make any changes, the breakpoints stop working.Things I have attempted to solve the problem:
-Save and rebuild the website after each change I make.
-Restart Visual Studio.
-Restart my computer.
-Ensured the debugger is set to "Debug" and not release, verified this within the web.config file with "Debug=True".
-Uninstalled all versions and reinstalled the .NET Framework versions 2.0 and 3.5 with the belief that the references assemblies may be incorrect or out of date.
-Tried disabling/enabling/re-enabling various options in the debugger section of the options including "Enable just my code", "Require Source code to exactly match". The latter seemed to make the breakpoints work, but they would appear to randomly jump, obviously pointing to the wrong place.
-Examined the list of modules/output displayed during runtime to ensure the correct assemblies were being loaded, as far as I can tell, they are correct.
-Tried converting the website into a web application project, in order to gain access to the "Clean Solution" option, to no effect (indeed, converting to an application seems to generate even more errors, I'm assuming because the syntax enforcement is much stricter in a project rather than a website).
-Tried deleting the temporary asp.net files for the application.
-Tried redirecting the version of the .NETFramework stated in the IDE to an earlier version. I did this because I noticed the temporary asp.net files created on runtime come under the 2.0.50727 directory yet in the IDE it states it's directed toward version
3.5, however redirecting to version 2.0 not only didn't fix the breakpoints, but created additional errors.
-Contemplated deleting the bin and obj directories, however after attempting to delete the bin directory a large number of errors were thrown, thus I assume the dlls contained within are required to even run, and are not constructed on runtime.
I have a couple of suspicions of what could be wrong:
-The version of Visual Studio used to originally create the application is different from what I'm using now, could this affect the code?
-I need to get it working as an application, not a website. I suspect it was originally created as a web application because the original directory contains a "My Project" folder.
-The symbols/pdb files, while the IDE shows them as being loaded, are still out of sync. If this is the problem then I believe it probably does not lie with the pre-built Microsoft dlls, but rather those created independently as part of the application.
I suppose ultimately I don't understand why rebuilding, website or not, doesn't synchronize the source code with the changes I make. I have been agonizing over this for days now and I truly at my wits end. There's probably some very simple option or configuration.
I noticed that when I build a given C# or VB.NET source to produce a DLL, the binary output is different each time. It would be helpful for our build / deployment process if this was not the case. Can I control this?

View 5 Repliesim trying to add a new data source to my visual studio 2010 project. As it stands my project consists of a few windows forms. I plan on making it access a database (made in access, unless this is a problem), and be able to perform pre-set queries, search/sort, and basic delete,add,edit functions. I will hopefully be later adding the function to print reports according to the database entries.However, the problem i am having is that when i go on to data sources, and click add new source, the following happens:3, it asks me which connection i will be using, i click new connection, then in the new connection dialog i choose the following : Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB), then i browse for the database i made in the 'database file name' box, Then i delete the default username in the log in to database bit, as my database has no protection.
