Find Location Of AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWordSTARTUP Directory With Visual Basic
Jul 4, 2009
I am trying to write a simple Visual Basic 2008 installer that copies word macro templates to Word's startup directory. On Vista and 7, that directory is the user's AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWordSTARTUP directory. Is there a way that I can programmatically find this directory? I.e. is it safe to say that this directory will almost always be in this location such that I can simply get the user's home directory and then add AppDataetc.... or is there a registry or something else that I can access to get Word's current standard startup directory?

I have visual studio 2008 installed and was using C#. I am now trying to find Visual Basic. I can't find it. Is there a way to download it or should it be somewhere in my visual studio program? I don't want to use vbexpress, just regular VB 2008.

We are testing the visual basic 2010 ee in one of the computing suites at a secondary high school. The installation was fine When we tried opening or saving a project it saves it into a default location i.e my documents. The problem withthis is pupils dont have access to c:. They their own drive on the network (h:) where they save their work. When i went and changed the settings in VB in tool > options.

First let me statethat my VB skills are appalling. Havent touched it since VB3 Ok here is the scenario. we want to be able to give our first line support the ability to modify AD groups BUT WITHOUT giving the acess or powers in the AD console. I have written command line scripts to do this and it works fine. Un fortunately we have people that think that if it dont have a OK NEXT CANCEL button it aint Windows :(

I am working on an assignment, so need to pass the file to the instructor. I thought I remembered a way to input a placeholder character(s) that tells the computer that the path is flexible until the point where I declare the actual path.
For example: if the directory is C:documentsMyProjectinDebug on my machine, and is F:usersownerclass assignmentscis101StudentAMyProjectinDebug on the instructor's machine, can I put a "wildcard" type of character that points to the ...MyProjectinDebug file that will work on both machines in the Initial Directory property?

An assignment in my computing class is to find if any numbers from a set of 5 add up to 15, if they do award a point. I cannot figure out how to find if multiple specific numbers can be made from adding up a random set of 5 numbers. Are they any algorithms specific to this? Also it has to be written in visual basic.

This is well documented and easy to accomplish in Access, but how does one accomplish this in Visual Basic 2010 on a form designed in Visual Studio that is bound to a SQL Server database?
The idea is to create a combobox that holds 2 columns - a primary key value and a unique value such as a [Company Name] or a [Student Name]. The user would then find the appropriate record within the combobox and the code behind the combobox control would then perform a .findfirst method that would NOT filter out all other records, but would rather use selectedvalue primary key column value to move to the selected record.
I am currently getting into VS 2010 & revisiting VB having been programing in ACCESS & VBA for years. In the Access/VBA environment it is very common to have to find a given record on a given form using this method, but it would appear to be poorly documented if in fact not commonly used in the VB.NET/VS community.

In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.

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?

How do I disable the background compiler for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008?
For my sins, I have to work on a large VB.NET project and it often locks up for 20 seconds at a time whilst doing the very helpful background compilation
I'd rather work blind between compiles and be able to do some work.

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.

when the user clicks on the add button another form launches, which enables the user to add student info such as name, address, course, start date and end date, this information is then written to class when the ok button on that form is clicked, and then displays the data on the initial form in data grid. the user can add multiple entries and they are all displayed on the intial form and a the data grid is populatedwhen any of the rows in the displayed grid is selected, and the update button is clicked then the same form launches as the previous one and but this time its in the update mode and pre populates the form with the inital values.

I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
