Using VB.NET with MVC3 and Razor.I have a test page for a custom extension to htmlhelperVisual Studio tells me the view is not ok :
code of index.vbhtml (view)
<h2>@ViewData("Message")</h2>
@Html.CustomLink("text 321312"eas?
[code].....
I have the following extension method that I've built and have working for one MVC3 project, but when trying to use it in another, the compiler (not the view) gives me the error;Error 1 'TextBoxFor' is not a member of 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper(Of TModel)'...Intellisense shows none of these html element shorcut methods.I'm sure it's just because I'm missing a reference or something, but beats me what it is.
FImports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Public Module HtmlHelperExtension
<Extension()> _
[code]...
know how to create a custom file association ( a custom extension ) in VB .Net and how to open it on the application
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew how to create a intellisense type form for a rich text box word. Really I only need help with the code that gets the highlighted words location and places my form under the word to the left.For example: When I highlight a word in my RichTextBox and click on a button, a form of my choice would popup under the word to the left.
View 2 Repliesi just made a small notepad type program. The function for opening and saving are working perfectly but i want it so that i could save the ".txt" as my own filetype lets say ".tox" or something.
View 1 RepliesI can't figure out what I'm missing in the following code. I've got a method that should add a (dummy) helper extension:
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices
Namespace HtmlHelpers
Public Module HelpExtensions[code]....
But this gives me the following error:
'HelpMe' is not a member of 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper'.
In my master page I have a top-level menu that is created using ActionLinks:
<ul id="topNav">
<li><%=Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")%></li>
<li><%=Html.ActionLink("News", "Index", "News")%></li>
[Code]....
Do I have to overload the ActionLink method to do this, or create an entirely new HtmlHelper, or is there a better way?
I have a textbox that is filled with some carefully formatted text. I need to save the text in that textbox as a text file with the extension of '.scr' eg: File1.scr instead of File1.txt
View 4 RepliesWhy would I use an extension method instead of just creating non-extension sub or function?
For ex, I could have an extension function called IsNullOrEmptyOrAllSpaces on String, which does a check as its name implies. Or I can write a stand alone function that does the same thing. Other than having the extension show up in Intellisense, is there any advantage? Is a call to the extension quicker/more efficient than a call to a regular function?
I have a custom tool "NafestisGenerator" of which I need to apply to every ".ntf" file. The question is, how do I tell visual studio (using the Custom tool Generator sample from Microsoft) to use the "NafestisGenerator" custom tool on every ".ntf" file?
View 1 RepliesI saw this post and I want to know if this is possible in VB. So like extension method, do extension properties exists in VB.Net? Here I've read they do, but cannot find any examples.
View 3 RepliesIf i have an extension ... say...
vb
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Sub Invert(ByVal b As Bitmap)
is there any way of hiding this from inteli-sense if it is not used as an extension?so that pressing ctl+space only triggers it if you go "bitmap.Inve.." rather than prompting on "Inve..."?
I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?
I find myself frequently turning off Intellisense because it adds wrong choices to my code. For example if I try to type "i " (without the quotes) it causes "int " to be put into my code. If I type "for " it may put "form " into my text.
Reaching for the ESC key constantly slows down my typing. (It's such a long way to reach for small hands). Is there an alternative way to exit out of intellisense without the highlighted choice being placed into my code, or is a way I can define a different key for this purpose?
is there a way to enable IntelliSense for XML literals in VB9 (VS 2008)?The ideal source of IntelliSense is an XSD document, but I can use anything else format to do it.
View 2 RepliesI do not get intellisense working when creating a Property. How do I get intellisense to work here? Intellisense seems to work otherwise, just not with the Get / Set instantiations.
View 9 RepliesI am primarily a C# developer; however, I am currently working on a project for a client who preferred VB.net. I have managed to switch over fairly well, with one frustrating exception. When editing a C# file in Visual Studio pressing enter will select an item out of the IntelliSense window and keep the cursor at the end of the selected statement.
However, when editing a VB file, pressing enter selects the item out the IntelliSense popup AND moves the cursor to the next line. I realize that this is a small thing, but it drives me crazy, because it makes it really hard to switch between C# and VB projects.
I have searched for everything I can think of in Google and found nothing. Does anyone know of a way to change the IntelliSense selection behavior?
Using lambda's in VB.Net results in no intellisense. Is this a bug with VS2010 or expected? Note that it works fine in C#
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x) x.Number <> "N") 'No intellisense Number does not appear
Return Array.TrueForAll(chequeColl, Function(x As MyClass) x.Number <> "N") 'Now casted intellisense appears
UPDATE: Here's an example
Public Class Cheque
Public Property Id As String
Public Property Status As Byte

In VB.NET projects, errors are highlighted immediately after cursor leaves the line. In C#, I have to wait several seconds for IntelliSense to highlight it. Also, the C# version doesn't show all project errors in "Errors List", unless you start to build it. Actually, it seems to work differently in every way. Is it possible to adjust that behavior?
I am using both Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
I'm using coderush with vs 2008. coding in VB.net. I don't see any evidence of Intellassist, all i see is the usual VS intellisense. Is this normal? Preferred? Do most people leave the defaults or do most/some turn off vs's intellisense? Does intellassist somehow argument intellisence?
View 1 Repliesi know someone will say this belongs in database programming but i don't think this problem is to do with databases and is more to do with visual studio.
when i start to type oledb.oledb..... intellisense would usually give me an option for oledbcommandbuilder. in the current program i am doing for coursework this option is not given. i can choose oledb.oledbcommand but i do not know how to use it (too advanced for A-levels, yes i'm british) if i actually type oledb.oledbcommandbuilder visual studio does'nt show an error in my error list. so what is going on? how can i get visual studio to recognise oledb.oledbcommandbuilder?
Is it possible to enable XML intellisense in a C# class as it is in the VB editor? Similar to this article's prescriptions:

Would like to not have to use xsd.exe to generate a class from the XML.
I want to use Enter instead of Tab to choose from the intellisense list(This is in VB)From what I can se from this rather old post [url] it was not possible. Has anything changed from there? I use Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
View 4 RepliesI'm doing database development in Access 2003, and the Visual Basic portion of it is acting up. It seems to be "refreshing" itself constantly. Two very frustrating problems are occurring because of this: 1) Intellisense for properties and such pops up but immediately disappears and turns red and 2) it's automatically checking the syntax of lines before I can finish typing them.
The problem seems to be intermittant. Some forms in the database operate fine while others immediately turn the line red two seconds after I start typing. I am having this problem on both of the computers that I use on a regular basis.
I've added two labels to my form, named them appropriately, and then went to the code to do my thing.Intellisense is not picking up the 2 newly-added controls! I opened the .Designer.vb file for the form and I can see they are in there. I tried "cleaning" the project as well with no luck.
View 13 Repliesi want to create a view but when i'm typing CREATE the only intellisense that are are coming out are 'created', 'createobject', and 'createparams'
when i try to type 'create' only.. there is a wiggly line on that word..
One of the things I was doing was renaming controls on the form to understandable names and a couple of times I would use a variable name for a control on the form that I hadn't actually renamed yet and since I know what the name would be, I went ahead and coded the routines with the new name (knowing it would produce the compile errors) and when I was done, I switch to the form view and for whatever stupid reason it refreshed itself like it was re-compiling the form (I never clicked re-build, or build solution since I had those 16 compile errors) and VS didn't display the form, it displayed the error tab with the stack trace.... that became a huge problem because then I couldn't rename the control which would fix the compile errors. Why the heck is the IDE doing that?
It shouldn't be re-rendering the form, or if it does it shouldn't be erroring because I never re-built the project. I ended up renaming the variables to something that would compile, then I went back to the form, changed the name of the control and went back to the code window and noticed, I couldn't re-do the name changes. I don't know if a bug report has been sent to MS, but that's something they should probably fix.
I also noticed that the intellisense window can't be resized like I used to be able to.All-in-all I've had my first actual VS 2010 project and there's a lot of things that are bugging me about the IDE and I'm thinking of skipping this one and migrating from VS 2008 to VS 2012 (or whatever the next one is) when they've gotten the IDE more normal.
I have read that it is possible, but how do I use them in VS2008? I would like to start commenting class's commands and properties, but I can't find how to.[URL]
View 1 Replies1) How is the Name property hidden for controls for the Properties window yet it is shown in Intellisense?
2) For a System.Windows.Form.SplitterPanel the Name property is not shown in either but you can still Get or Set it.

I don't know if it's possible, but i want to change some of the defaults intellisenses. For example when i write try and press enter, the IDE puts the catch ex as exception and the end try, but i want that the finally word it's added too.
