Error - Expression Is A Value And Therefore Cannot Be The Target Of An Assignment
Oct 20, 2009
I am using VB.Net 2008 Express.I am trying to move a button on a form, the button status is unlocked. The code that I want to use is:
Me.btnEnter.Location.Y = 474
However, I get the error message, "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment" If I now code as follows, I get the error message, "Property access must assign to the property or use its value"
Me.btnEnter.Location.Y
The errors appear contradictory. Just to check, I wrote the following
X = Me.btnEnter.Location.Y
And when run I received the correct answer of 535.What is happening? What am I missing?

When I have the following code, I get an "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment." error as shown:
Public Class Form1
'Test Project
Public Structure Blah
Public ID As String
[code].....
But when I change the structure to a class, this works fine:
Public Class Form1
'Test Project
Public Class Blah
Public ID As String
[code].....
What connection am I missing between the two? I don't understand why the first example doesn't work, but the second does. Everything I know says they should both work just fine.

If BallOvalShape.FillColor = Ball24.FillColor Then
BallOvalShape.Location.X = 323
BallOvalShape.Location.Y = 536
Ball24.Visible = False
End If
The part i'm getting an error on is
BallOvalShape.Location.X = 323
BallOvalShape.Location.Y = 536
This seems like it should be easy, and should work but I get the error: "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment" I am placing this within the timmer, I just want to move the object back to it's starting point, is there a better way to do this, or why it's not working?

I have a method that takes an System.Action, this is what I'm trying to feed it:Function() Me._existingImports = Me.GetImportedAds()
The thing is that it complains about the = sign since it thinks I'm trying to do a comparison, which I'm not. I want to assign the Me._existingImports the value of Me.GetImportedAds(), but VB.NET complains about DataTable not having a = operator.
How can I force it to use the assignment operator instead of the equality operator?
In C# this works perfectly fine: () => this.existingImports = this.GetImportedAds()
For now the solution will be to use a standalone method, but that's way more code than needed.

I have a list of items and wish to set one of their properties to a certain value:
applist.ForEach(Function(x) x.PrePaidTypeID = CInt(DBEnums.PrePaidType.NoPrepay))
...but we think this just does a boolean comparison. Is there a way to force VB to assign the integer value rather than compare it?

I generally use VB.Net for programming but I have been delegated to a VBA project that would benefit from using script control for running script. Here is sample code but errors out on the .Run line of code. I can do this in VB.Net easy but can't get it to work in vba.
ERROR = Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment
Option Explicit
Dim sc As New ScriptControl
Sub RunFunctions()
[code]....
Using the .Eval function from the script control object runs ok in vba but does not run scripts.
Sub SimpleTask()
Dim expr As String
sc.Language = "VBScript"

I've been working on a new application and realised that I want the target framework to be 3.5 (4.0 isn't rolled out yet). So, I changed it and now when I try and debug I get the following error:
"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer' to type 'System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize'."
I really don't want to have to delete and recreate the splitContainer....

I'm trying to make the transition from VB6 to VB Express edition 2008.I'm using the OneClick publish the 2008 IDE provides.It appears to build and package the app. I can upload it to my website for distribution.But when the app is downloaded and instaleld on a Vista OS target system, the following error happens:Unable to install or run the application.The application requires that assembly stdole Version 7.0.3300.0 be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) first.I checked the system that the app is built on..XP..and the stdole file version is 7.0.9466.1.I searched for stdole* on the Vista box using "Computer", "OS","Local Hard Drives(C,D)) and although there are numerous stdole32.tlb and stdole.tlb, there are no stdole. dll files.The stdole.dll file is listed in the application files list on the publish tab of the OneClick dialog.is the stdole.dll problem on the XP dev system or on the Vista target system?The Vista system always gets the latest updates as does the XP system.

Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target "".exe is missing Please build the project and retry, or set the output path and assembly names appropriately to point at the correct location of the target assembly. Since this is my first time debugging a program with this particular instance of the program, I am in shock. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

This is not a homework of mine and i had never tried ms access database with vb so i just gave it a shot. so this is my first time and i am just trying not asking anyone to complete my homework. I have been searching for this a lot on internet but couldn't find a solution to this so i decided to ask this question here.
i have this sql code. what i want to do is that create a basic login form where users puts it's username in the UsernameTextbox and Password in the PasswordTextbox. If the the information match then a message box appears saying that the user is valid and if the information does not exist, a mesage box appears saying the users is not valid. now everytime i execute(run) the code, i come up with this error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''UserName' = 'Admin' 'PassWord' = 'testing123''.
The field names(UserName, PassWord) are also correct they are same as in the database. the information put in the username and password textbox are correct and they match the information on the database. But i dont know why this error comes up.
My code module is the following:
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class LoginForm1
' Cancel button
Private Sub Cancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cancel.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub

I am having a problem with this code. I have used this code before on other apps and it works, but I don't have a clue as to what is going on here.
This is the whole event. I get a runtime error msg thats says "Syntax error(Missing Operator) in query expression"
I think this is Legacy SQL coding but I don't know how to make it better.

I tried to convert following C# code into VB.NET and got "Expression does not produce a value" error while compiling the code
C# Code
return Fluently.Configure().Mappings(m => m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<MyEntityMapping>())
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory().ShowSql())
.ExposeConfiguration(x => new SchemaExport(x).Execute(false, true, false))
.BuildSessionFactory();
VB.NET Code
Return Fluently.Configure() _
.Mappings(Function(m) m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf(Of SubscriptionMap)()) _
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory().ShowSql()) _
.ExposeConfiguration(Function(x) New SchemaExport(x).Execute(False, True, False)) _
.BuildSessionFactory()
The error happens on 2nd last line of VB.NET code, while C# code is compiled without problem.What is wrong with the converting?

Ok so I have alot of plans for programs coming up and I want them all to fade in and out so instead of copy and pasting from project to project etc I learnt about dll's
So when I added in the references etc and I typed in what I declared the Fadein function as which was "FadeIn" I got an error saying it needed to be declared
So I declared it as a string
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim FadeIn As String
FadeIn(Me)
End Sub
Then I get a different error saying Expression is not a method.

im migrating from vb6 to vb.net and have only very basic knowledge of .net. now i upgraded one of my projects, in which i had function cleartexts() which would clear all the text boxes of the forms. now to upgrade it to .net i converted it to sub (as it didnt return anything), so it looked like,
public sub cleartexts()
for i = 1 to 24
text(i).text=""
next
end sub
but .net 2005 gives the error, "expression is not a method", how do i call it then?? or what modifications do i need to make?
