I have been using VB2005 for many years on 2 PCs. Over the last month I have been getting an error when I try to run the project from the IDE:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "objx86DebugBackup.exe" to "binx86DebugBackup.exe". The process cannot access the file 'binx86DebugBackup.exe' because it is being used by another process.
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets 2324 9 Backup
My questions:
1. What has changed?
2. One thread I found suggested that it is a bug, but if true is this something that has been introduced recently (I'm not aware up updating VB2005 unless it happened as part of the general updates).
3. How do I get it back to where it was?
The file is actually locked by my own process, no other application can be using it. I've even tried it with a few line noddy program. I always have to come right out of the IDE, wait a couple of minutes and then go back in - a total productivity killer.
I am loading data from an Excel File to a dataset and performing some computation. The problem arises after the application is closed, the Excel file is locked for some reason and can only be read.
In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:
I have developed a program that allows drag and drop pictures using the followng [code] this will display the image in the pictruebox and saves the location of the image to a database. at this time i can rename the image in windows using the file.rename() function.now if i exit and come back into the section of the program with the image.i query the database for the image location and use the same type of code aka ploc [code]Now when i try to do a rename of the file i get an error that says access denied. I have even tried changing images, but as long as i am in the program i get access denied.I also can not change or delete these file from windows as long as my application is runningfile.rename() Is there a way to force my program to stop using this picture so i cand rename or delte it?
compile my .hta file (and resources) to a .exe file.There are plenty of applications that claim to be able to do this - but they have not worked for this application - which is a mixture of javascript and VB.Simply, (and naively,) I don't want people looking at / screwing with the code.
EDIT: Of course, I understand that javascript and VB are not "compilable" since they are interpreted languages. I am just looking for a way to truly hide the source.
In my application, i am downloading file from DMS system to my server. Once the file gets downloaded, on some environment, the iis keeps lock of the file and when the application tries to redownload the file and put the file on same location, an error is generated that file is being used by another process. Following is the code :
I have a vbscript which I would like to compile into a single .EXE file. It's my understanding that you can't do this with vbscript and that the available applications which supposedly do the conversion are actually just glorified self extracting zip files which dump the vbs to a temp folder and run the script - not what I want.I've no experience in VB.Net and very little in VBS so I'd appreciate it someone could look over the script and let me know what areas I need to change so I can investigate the correct syntax in VB.Net.what the script does just in case there might be an issue from the conversion. The script does several things in this order:starts by scanning a CSV file (which contains a list of peoples usernames, their department and full name) looking for the line that contains a username match to that of logged in users's logon name via expanding the environment variable %USERNAME%..Once found, it splits the entire row into an array..Sets a series of Environment variables at Process level using contents of the array as values..Does a basic time check and sets the result as environment variable as above..Checks to see which version of CAD application is installed on users machine and starts application with command switch to process configuration file during startup..I don't think its overly complex now that I understand the VBS code but in VB.Net, I don't know what lines will work and what won't. I've not installed Visual Studio Express yet but will do so shortly - I presume this program is suitable for converting my script? [code]
I would like to know how I could generate code from a text file in a particular format into a VB.net or C# source file.I would like my code generating program to read text file having the following format:[code]The idea is to compile the main code after the user have modified the txt file and used the code generating program. I would prefer to write the code generating program in C, python or C#.
My program writes to a .txt file (and this is the ONLY program that writes to it) in a thread (with lowest priority), but every now and then it gets an error "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file" when it executes this code: swLog.WriteLine(sPacket).Other program reads from the file, not write to it, why do I get this error, and how can I get around it, or what shall I do when I get this error since I can't write to the file ?
I am compiling a VB Project in VS2005 with SP1. This is the error that I am getting when I build this project.
12>C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Microsoft.Common.targets(802,9): error MSB3108: Error executing the ResolveNonMSBuildProjectOutput task. An error occurred while parsing EntityName.

I am relatively new to vb.net and so I apologise in advance if I omit any important details from this post. Please point out how I can better ask the question if you think I can.For some reason when I try to compile my code I get this error:
Error 1 Unable to copy file "C:Documents and SettingslocaluserDesktopEwESourcesPDistributeinDebugPDistribute.exe" to "binDebugPDistribute.exe". Could not find file 'C:Documents and
Shutting down a pc in vb.net is easy:Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -t 00")less the user has locked the pc in which case the above fails.How do I get around this in vb.net? How do I shutdown a locked PC?
I'm currently writing a small system tray app that needs to shutdown my PC at a certain time. That bit's easy:Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -t 00")But how do I do this when my PC is locked? The above doesn't work and I don't want to leave my PC unlocked and unattended
i need my application to determine if the desktop of the pc is locked or open.how would i go about doing this? i know that it is something to do with the registry but i dont know how to go about getting the values
I'm trying to compile old Visual Basic dll code on XP, and it gives me error message "Error in loading DLL". I don't know exacty which dll is it, but the project references external dll created in visual studio 2008.
I am using VB .NET 2010 express, thought I don't know how much that matters. I was wanted to create an MSI installation of a bunch of EXE patches. How can I do this?
I already have a program made that downloads all the patches and places them in a folder. I just need something to takes all those and make them into 1 .msi file.
Setup: 10 pc's connecting to a shared hard drive on a server connecting to a certain .mdb file from access 2003
Problem: We are a 3rd party tool for a Point of sale application and when the real software makes some modifications it locks certain tables which we don't lock. My ( Might be possible solution ) is: Is there a way to check with a query or an certain object if the table is locked if yes
I have a filesystemwatcher waiting for .jpg files to arrive from the camera.he file system watcher invokes a delegate (it works but is that the proper way to handle it?) sub that does a couple of things:1. Adds the just arrived file name to a table2. Attempts to display the image in a picturebox on the form. When it displays the image it imprints some information on the image that the user has entered on the screen. I use a file stream to retrieve the image.The problem is, I'm getting a file in use orror on the "Img = ystem.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs)"statement. Not all the time. Sometimes I can add three or four files to the folder in rapid succession with no issue. But then out of the blue the error will occur. Sometimes it's there to stay but other times it will go away and allow me to add morefiles.
I have a class which inherits a form class, and just recently it's started acting strange. All of the controls on the form are locked, and I don't understand why. I can't edit the properties of any controls, or anything.
