I'm making a application but I want it to be as small as possible also if you use the FormWhatever.Show function, if you close the parent window, everything closes. Is there a way to make a button open up an application that is NOT in the current project?

View 6 RepliesMy Visual studio crashes every time I open a specific project, because before closing VS2010 last, I forgot to close a .vb file that I had drug to my second monitor. The issue is likely related to floating tab wells in the VS Productivity Power Tools extension.now when I try to load the solution it will progress part way, but when it tries to reopen the documents that had previously been open, it crashes hard.anyway, I am trying to find out where VS stores info about the code documents that were open at last project close, so I can clear it out.does anyone know where VS stores info about the previously opened code documents? I've checked the project and solution files but neither appears to hold this info. I know that the location must be within the project however, since getting a new version of the codebase from source control corrects the issue (but I still have code to check in...)

View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

View 14 RepliesI have a very old plug-in software developed in Visual Basic quite years ago, now its getting time to modify the copyright info. At this point, the issue is now that I was not the author so I don't know anything about it.
I have updated the source files which includes a SLN, VBP, WIP, MSI and so on, then I tried to use VS2008 to open the SLN file and after Conversion it given me a message "The project for XXX.wip is not installed, please make sure the application for the project (.wip) is installed", Apparently this is not right version to get going on. Can everybody tell which VS version can proceed it? or any idea how I do this?
I followed the Quartz manual to the dot and still I'm not sure why it isn't picking up the GetDeal.vb (Quartz job) in Global.asax. It never went into the _scheduler.JobGroupNames and _scheduler.TriggerGroupNames loop as follows:
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim factory As ISchedulerFactory = New StdSchedulerFactory()
_scheduler = factory.GetScheduler()
_scheduler.Start()

If you mark your application using "Make Single Instance Application" option in the application settings tab and run your application under a GUEST account or a restricted limited/standard account the application throws UnAuthorizedAccessException or CantStartSingleInstanceException.
Take the following steps to reproduce this behavior.
1) Create Windows Form application.
2) Enable the "Make Single Instance Application" in the project properties.
3) Log onto a GUEST account and open the application twice to simulate StartUpNextInstance.
We need developers to reproduce this behavior and post any valuable input if you experience these symptoms.
When posting information please include the following:
a) The operating system version + service pack.
b) The .NET framework version used.
c) Verify this symptom is present when running under GUEST account.
To workaround this issue turn off the "Make Single Instance Application" option ad create a Local named mutex in the StartUp() event.
