View 4 RepliesThe software I design is for Win XP and older versions such as Win 98, ME, 2000 etc. I currently use VB6 and Win XP for development and packaging, the problem I encounter is that if I use the deployment wizard in XP, the setup will only work on an XP machine and I need to copy all my source to an older machine and use the wizard again to create another setup file which will only work on the older operating systems. Is there a way to rectify this in VB6? If not, does the new VB account for this and be able to make a setup file for older operating systems as well as XP?
View 2 RepliesI made a small program which i have sent to all users in my network. Unfortunately i forgot about older versions of framework.
Is there a quick and easy way to add older versions compatibility of framework to my project?
For instance, I read that visual basic .net didn't have operator overloads before, so wouldn't be able to use a types overloaded operators, if they aren't provided as normal methods too (Add, instead of operator+).

View 3 RepliesVS2008 / XP Pro sp3 / .NET 3.5 I develop during the day on my office computer and bring home projects on a laptop to work on over the weekend. After working at home then at work, I have a conflict that I don't understand. When I build, all is normal but when I debug, I get "Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly." If I click on the warning message I also get "Do you want to fix these conflicts by adding binding redirect records in the app.config file"?Both computers have same O/S, same SP, same .NET, same VS. Only thing that could be different is particular O/S updates that have been installed on each machine. What causes this warning and where do I look for differences? I really hate to let mSoft keep changing my code every Saturday and Monday. I just don't trust it on Mondays.
View 7 RepliesTo the board: Lately I've been getting Runtime error 3447 ("The Jet VBA file (VBAJET.dll for 16-bit versions, or VBAJET32 for 32-bit versions) failed to initialize when called. Try reinstalling the application that returned the error") when attempting to open a certain program (not one that I designed, just downloaded and installed). I installed this program in January 2009, but this error began happening only this past July. someone else to information about the files vbajet32.dll and expsrv.dll. One site said that the problem was probably caused by the file expsrv.dll being absent, but I checked my System32 folder, and it's there. As far as I can tell, it has always been there (the computer was made in 2008, and as I said the program had always worked before). Vbajet32.dll is also there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but error 3447 still occurs. I also tried uninstalling the program and installing an older version, but 3447 is still there.
I tried replacing expsrv.dll, thinking it might have been corrupt, but that didn't help, and I cannot register that dll anyway. I can't figure this thing out. Both of the files are there, and I didn't change any settings or anything anywhere between last January and this July. By the way, I am on Vista.
I'm just curious as to how some software programs that I see out there have the ability to extract links & text from thousands of web pages at an extremely high and fast rate. Has anyone here, ever created a link or text extracting program the has the ability to parse many webpages and return data into a textbox? I know how to extract links via the webbrowser control, but it doesn't seem to parse/extract data at a very high & fast rate like many email, link & text extracting programs that I see out there.
[Code]...
my webbrowser navigates to a webpage. I need to store all the links into a collection, I did find the code to do the job (on this forum) and it works, but there is a problem: there are more links on the page than those the code reads, like when i right click on a picture and choose "copy shortcut" I get a link that is not showing when I display the "view source" for the entire page. I can't figure out how to do it.

I'm using the following code to kill a program: Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("myprogram.exe")
For Each p As Process In pProcess p.Kill() Next
At one point it's running twice and the above code kills em all including the one currently running, resulting in an access error. Is there any way to say, kill the older myprogram.exe only. Compare both of them and see which one was executed first and terminate this one, keeping the later one running.

View 3 RepliesI have a basic bit of code which i am using to delete text files within a given directory[code]...
intdays is a variable which determines how many days the files should be retained for.
To test the code i set intdays to 0, assuming that it would delete any files in the directoy. However it doesn't, but creates no errors.
The time "Now" is #2/8/2012 13:59:00 PM# which is greater than 0. But im confused as to why it doesnt then delete the file?

View 36 RepliesI have compiled a successfull application in VB 2010 using .NET 4.0. Because my workplace only supports .NET 3.5 i compiled the app under that framework, and I get the following error:
Error1Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Line 123, position 5.C:\\My Project\Resources.resx123
Now under that line I have the following code:
<data name="Presentation1" type="System.Resources.ResXFileRef, System.Windows.Forms">

I didn't write this code, i believe that it was automatically created when designing my app. It looks like something might not be supported, but am not sure.

I have some work I need to do with some older ActiveX controls. When I install the controls (outside of Visual Studio) I get an error message:
Quote:
The procedure entry point SRWriteStringLocalCmd could not be located in the dynamic link library SankyoMP.dll
Doing a little research I get a whole bunch of different answers. Microsoft says that this is because it was written for an older version of Windows (2000 or before, I am using XP) and to contact the vendor. The vendor is out of business.
Does anybody know of a way to install and use this older ActiveX control in VB.net/Visual Studio 2005?
I need to delete older bkf files in a directory, only leaving the newest 20.
No, I can not just delete older than x days because there can be more than one backup file per day and some times it may be 2-3 days before a backup file appears.
Got a dll from a supplier that I need to call. His declaration is Declaration with Microsoft Visual Basic: [code]Now, the Sting * 20 is clearly not VB.NET, and sure enough it crashes when run - "Attempt to read or write in protected memory" and that leads me to think that there is something with that string definition - or possibly the I_Ref definition which hasn't been defined as fixed length.I've tried <VBFixedString(20)> when defining O_Err, but I have a feeling that it might not be enough when the function declaration is like that (not specifically fixed length). I cannot figure out how to specify this correctly.As a small hmmmm, the above is pasted directly from the suppliers documentation, but that't will never work, as there is a "," missing after I_Range as long... Clearly not something he has pasted from a working program.

View 3 RepliesI have encountered a wierd problem, and I'm unsure if this behaviour is caused by my code or by Windows itself... I can't make any sense of it! Basically, I have written an automated backup system for a text editor. It should save up to 5 backups for each filename, each in a 'AutoBackup<filename><filename>_<number>.bak' format. Here, <filename> is simply the name of the file my program is backing up, and <number> is the first 'free' number. So if the backups are "Test_1, Test_2, Test_4, Test_5", the next backup will be called "Test_3" (since 3 was 'missing'). When there are more than 5 backups, I want my code to delete the oldest files until there are again 5 backups left. I am using the following code for this:
vb.net
'Backup doc.SaveFile(path & "" & filename & "_" & newNum & ".bak") 'If more than max files, delete oldest Do While numOfFiles > maxBackups Dim d As Date Dim maxDate As Date = Date.MaxValue Dim oldestFile As String =
[code].....
Then, after another backup, Test_1.bak is again deleted!I thought this was pretty weird so I had a look at the files in windows explorer, taking a good notice of the creation date... That's when I saw that after Test_1.bak is created a second time (after a file named Test_1.bak was deleted), it carries the same creation date/time as the old (deleted) Test_1.bak..So my code still sees it as the oldest file (while it is actually the newest) and deletes it...
