View 2 RepliesI have a simple extension which makes all chars in incoming string uppercase. I created this extension as DLL file (with namespace "Extensions"). But when I make reference to this DLL, then this namespace doesn't appear in Imports, hence I can't use my extension. Here's question: why I can't put extension into separate assembly?
View 2 RepliesWhen you add a file that the project will use (in my case an Excel file) and set it to be copied to the output directory, you can of course add a string to a class with the file name in it to use the file. I was wondering though does Visual Studio automatically generate a member somewhere that contains the name of the file? Perhaps in the My Namespace?
Kind of like how when you set the Build Action to Resource, Visual Studio generates a member in the My.Resources namespace for reference. Whenever I change the name of the file in the Solution Explorer it would be nice if I had some method that would automatically update the file name in the code.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to import an xml file into a vb project and have the structure and data visible? I'm wanting to create a data structure within my project that has all the data from the xml files already compiled in. The data in the xml file is static reference data that never changes, and my project lead doesn't want to put it in the database or distribute the xml file.I'm just wondering if there's an easy way instead of manually building an array line by line - there are hundreds of data elements.

Is it possible in VS2010 to create a new MDI application and import stand alone Windows forms applications into it?
The reason I ask, is we have a number of tools that have been created as single apps but there are quite a number of them and it would be nice to combine the lot into an MDI app.
However I don't really want to re-write any of the apps, so is there a way to import them instead?
I know that here there is a similar question but I would like, if possible, to be able to define a relative path for 'Start External Program' or any workaround that do not constrain me to add a complete new empty project to my solution. I am using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010 environment developing WinForms apps.

View 3 RepliesThe problem I am running into is the OpenFileDialog box. I am allowing the user to pick an image and I want to save the image location into a column in the database(this isn't the problem), I know how to get the image location and save it...The main problem is this. Each time I open up the "OpenFileDialog box" and choose an image, it remembers the last location used, but after the image is chosen, the program looks at the images location as the spot the database is...To sum this up: Each time I use the "OpenFileDialog" and choose an image, the program looks at the images location for the database instead of in the "Debug folder" (which is were I put the database) So i end up getting an error that it can't find the database. Everything usually worked fine until I used the "OpenFileDialog"...
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a custom LabelFor helper to apply by default instead of the standard LabelFor helper include in System.Web.Mvc.Html. I want my LabelFor to take model properties that are PascalCase and make a label that appears as multiple words. For example the property FirstName would appear as "First Name".
I found this post that shows how to make a custom LabelFor helper that allows the addition of html attributes. I recreated this helper in VB.Net and modified it to do what I want, but I am not able to get it to work.
[Code]...
The sample includes this Module in Namespace System.Web.Mvc.Html but when I add the namespace declaration to this module everything in the rest of the project goes haywire. For example, each of my models has a Primary Key property that is a Guid datatype and as soon as I add the namespace above to the module, I get several errors stating that System.Guid is not defined among other similar errors.
I've tried to import my project namespace into a view in order to use the custom helper, but then I get an error that says Overload resolution failed because no 'LabelFor' is most specific for these arguments.I am trying to avoid having to specify a DisplayName for every PascalCase property I have in many models.
how can I import the System.ServiceProcess namespace into a WPF project in VB.net (not C#)? The ServiceController object is not in the toolbox in VS2008 and can't see to figure it out. Any ideas? If that particular namespace cannot be imported into WPF projects, could somebody suggest another way of controlling windows services from a WPF application? I know this framework is focused more on multimedia apps, but would really like to switch over some of my tools to WPF.

To do so I click on the "Properties" icon in the Solution Explorer window which presents me with a window to add/update/remove references. I click "Add", I select the reference I want and then "OK". Lo en behold, NOTHING! It simply won't add references (I tried adding several different ones). Specifically I'm trying to add the System.Configuration assembly.

I am trying to use a grid to display datasets. The database that I am using is not on my local machine. I have to dial in and log in to the database. We are using an image database.

I was wondering if there was a way to display these grids without going through the Data Sources?
View 4 RepliesI have been reading some on .net and databases. I have a fairly large replicated database at work for call logging and I am going to be making a .net app to use for call logging. My question is, do I write a program that connects to the database pulling and pushing data or do I import the database into the .net application and then discard the database? Is it possible to import the database into a .net app? Which is the better idea if they both are possible?
I imagine if I write an app that connects to a database, then I could use a DB that is on our server so that it is like using a replicated DB. Everyones changes being made to the same database. Can multiple users use an app that is connecting to one DB? How can I preserve the replication functionality so that all changes are available to all users?

I have a MS Access database set up, with a Period field that has either values 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I retrieve these values using a database connection and I would like to reference a particular control based on what period was grabbed from the database.
Here's example code, pseudo of course.
TextBox(dr(3)).Text = dr(0)
dr(3) contains the period, and dr(0) contains the content I would like to put into the text box. I have these text boxes on my form: TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4 and TextBox5.
So if dr(3) contained 2 then I would want to reference TextBox2.
