How is conditional compilation controlled for a VisualBasic web? For a VB Windows app, I put a conditional variable in Project > Compiler tab > Advanced > Custom controls.
How in a VB web app is a conditional compilation variable assigned that can be accessed by all the files of the web app?
I have noticed that ShellExecute does nothing (no errors or anything) if the Advanced Compile Options for the Target CPU is set to "x86", but it does work for "Any CUP' and "x64". Is there a way or setting to fix this? I am currently running Visual Studio 2005 on a Windows 7 x64 machine.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI'm developing a solution that I'm going to split into two different directions.I've built custom controls for the first application, and now I'm creating a new solution where I'm importing all the Forms and Modules to the new solution I'm developing by using "Add Existing Item" from the Solution ExplorerWhen doing this, most of the errors I'm receiving I'm able to correct by "Find & Replace" with the new name of the new solution. (They seem to be references to the old name of the solution, that I simply replace with the new name. Example. Global.Xname..... I now replace with Global.Yname.

View 1 RepliesSay that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)
End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?
so instead of when i build my project running the advanced installer t make it a exe i just went to my visual basic projects folder and ran it from there and it worked good, so i though if i make a zip file the files in it password protect, and just leave out the startup icon then my users can just click that to use my program while not being aloud into the source code, but after i zipped the folder the program doesnt work anymore, any way to do this?

The problem that I have is that both functions throw the compiler warning "function 'getHashCode' (or 'Equals') shadows an overridable method in the base class 'Object'. To override the base class method, this method must be declared 'Overrides'."
However, if I declare them as Overrides, I get the error "function 'GetHashCode' cannot be declared Overrides because it does not override a function in the base class."!!I am also getting a compiler error on the "Implements" line to the effect that I must implement "getHashCode" but I presume that is a result of the first problem.
I am getting a project-level conditional compilation constant error while trying to build my vb.net project. It reads:
project-level conditional compilation constant 'VB_VER=9.0,TARGET="exe",CONFIG="Debug",_MyType="Console",PLATFORM="AnyCPU",DEBUG;^^ ^^ TRACE' not valid: Character is not valid.
I recently upgraded it to the latest version (from 2.0), and I have a feeling that this has something to do with it.

I've just read [url]...
I'm wondering if it is a typo. Do they actually really wanted to say: the implementation of the JVM is free to instead of the compiler is free to.
and my second question is that do we have this issue with C#/VB as well? (in which the ""compiler"" is free to assign a value to a variable even before the variable is fully initiated/even before the constructor function of the class of the variable is fully ran.
I've recently started running into DotNET difficulties with newer HP and Dell systems that are pushing x64 processors and operating systems onto a totally unaware end-user market, so suddenly a lot of work I've done in VB.NET is going to ____ in a handcart; specifically all the work I've done with 3rd Party tools that are only available in x86 or x64 builds and not DotNET Native builds for any CPU. The biggest problem is that all the DLL File Names, in-code Namespaces, Classes, and Methods are totally identical - just one version is compiled for 32 bit and one for 64. What I need to do to fix this is provide some #If compile conditions that alter the paths of existing references based on the Build Configuration, so that when I'm compiling for the x86 platform it references C:DBAPISQLitex86System.Data.SQLite.DLL but when compiling for x64 it references C:DBAPISQLitex64System.Data.SQLite.DLL.
I don't have a problem writing compile conditions, but can't figure out how to alter the reference paths before the compile begins, short of manually removing one reference and adding the other every single time I need to do a dual-platform compile.
Is there any way to know that a variable inside a method is Compiler generated.when decompiling a .net dll or exe the generated code looks like this. [code]
View 8 RepliesI'm migrating data from an old laptop to a new laptop, including some vb.net projects in visual studio 2008. But when I try to open some of them on the new laptop, I quickly get a dialog stating that the vb compiler has crashed and asking me if I want to close, debug, or check online for solutions. Visual studio then, frustratingly, closes.The projects don't crash when opened on the old laptop, and other migrated projects open without crashing. So it must be some property of the projects that becomes corrupted by moving them.

Application Name: devenv.exe

The old laptop is windows xp and uses visual studio professional. The new laptop is windows vista and uses visual studio team. The 'migration' was a straight copy paste of the source files.
VB.NET has this rather annoying limitation which caps compiler warnings reported at 100.vbc : warning BC42206: Maximum number of warnings has been exceeded.This makes things rather frustrating when trying to size up the amount of effort that would be required to comply with VB.NET best practices, such as enabling Option Strict.

View 4 RepliesI've read several articles and questions/answers that conclude the best practice is to let the JIT compiler do all the optimization for inline function calls. Makes sense. What about inline variable declarations? Does the compiler optimize these as well?
[Code]...
Of course I prefer the latter because it's easier to read and debug, but I can't afford the performance degradation if it exists. I have already identified this code as a bottleneck -- No need for retorts about premature optimization.
I have a winform application written with vb2010.I changed the "Language" property of a winform of my application to german, only for testing purpose. I built the application and in my indebug folder it was created a new de folder with the localized resource file "appname.resources.dll". Then I set back the "Language" property to (Default) and "Localizable" to FALSE and built again the application, but the de folder with its appname.resources.dll were created again. I have controlled each form in my application, the My Project setting too,nothing points to any other culture. I deleted the whole debug folder, but after each build, I get always the de subfolder.I cannot understand what is changed in my application now: why does the compiler create a localized resource if I set back the form properties?I repeated the same for a new culture (afrikaans), to discover any changes in the form properties: I found nothing that could help me, but now I get two subfolders.: de and af

I recently downloaded VB 2010 Express so i am quite new to the language, but i have worked with dark basic, which seems to b very similar.Anyway, my problem is that i cannot seem to correctly set out my array of a custom type/class. i am trying to create two arrays, one of available entities and another of selected entities of which the user selects the entities to be dealt with in irrelevant ways. i have creates a button (called test) which adds some entities to the available list and all the entities come back the same value but they shouldnt be as you'll c in the code. i have run the step into command a found that "available.item(#).Name = " will change all of the entity's names.As of current i am working with lists as the array kept asking for a 'new' statement but i couldnt figure out where to put it.[code]
View 7 RepliesThe code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

i want to control my tab pages with custom buttons...now i want to hide my tabs from tab controls...
View 2 RepliesI want to know how to add custom controls to vb.net.
View 6 Repliesin VB.NET i have 2 custom controls, one is a TextBox and second one is a ComboBox.These have custom values like Bool _IsHidden and are added on runtime to a form.Now, at some point in the code I want to check if the _IsHidden is set to True or False and display that information. Since the user can edit this values when creating the control these are not set on creation.
So what I tried is:(all of this is on MDI Forms)
For Each frm as CustomForm in Main.MdiChildren If frm.MyName = calledBy Then 'this part is just to know which form called the form to create the object For Each cntrl as CustomTextBox in frm.Controls'DO Something
Next End if Next
Now.. if the first control is a custom ComboBox it thorws an error since it sees that it does not match the custom TextBox control..how do i get around this? By my understanding it should just go through all of the controls on the said form and just check those who match CustomTextBox control ?
I've created custom buttons in a .dll and they work fine, so I thought I'd have a go at creating my own sort of listbox to replace the standard one in my applications. It's basically a panel with a few labels and a button (eliminating the need to select an item in standard listbox then click a seperate button). I want to add these panels to a panel on a form, at run-time, based on rows in a db.
If I try adding any arguments in the New() section of the class file it won't let me use the panel in my toolbox. Is there a way to pass arguments to custom controls, I need a new custom panel for each row in a db so need to pass an id to it to specify records; or even load the records in my application and create a new panel for each record, using info passed to it to fill in the labels on it. Or can I create the panel at run-time and refer to labels within the custom controls, setting their .text properties that way?
I would like to expand my knowledge of VB.NET and was looking at creating custom user interfaces or custom controls. The type of things I am thinking of is: [URL]s. How are those controls created? I imagine it involves using the existing controls in Visual Studio as a starting point, and altering them to suit your design?
View 2 RepliesI'm not going to post my code for my transparentlistbox class, but here is a link to it.It's been working fine as is, until early this morning when I tried to set a different size.[URl]..For the longest time I placed a normal listbox control on a form and resized that, setting a new public variable of transparentlistbox to the same size/location as the original listbox, setting the visibility of the original to false, and adding the transparentlistbox to the form (me.controls.add).It looked like this:
[Code]...
Now, since I've moved some buttons around on my main form, I resized the original listbox control to be wider (same height though). When I tested, the transparentlistbox (code didn't change still set to original listbox size/location), the size was that of what I had the original listbox set to, before resizing?
So, I commented out all of the custom drawing/paint events/etc I could find for the transparentlistbox and tested, still stuck to the original size. I stepped line by line debugging and verified that transparentlistbox1.size=listbox1.size indeed matched the new resized size (but didn't actually resize)?
Last I did was comment out the transparentlistbox.visible and put back the listbox1.visible and listbox1 does indeed show with the new resized size? I'm not quite sure what to test next?
Is there a way to use SVG in vb.net to draw custom controls? Or any other way?
