Set Up/reference/import/include/whatever The XAudio2 And XACT Libraries
Nov 22, 2009
I'm trying to implement the XACT engine in a VB.NET project. I'm pretty new to this stuff, but I can set up and use the normal DirectX libraries fine. However, I can't for the life of me work out how to set up/reference/import/include/whatever the XAudio2 and XACT libraries. All the dlls in the Aug2009 DX SDK say they can't be used as references in the project, and the only tutorials I can find are in C++ and use the .h headers, which, if I'm not mistaken, I can't use at all for VB.
I'm tearing my hair out over this because there literally seems to be no way that I can find to use the new sound stuff in VB! I'm imagining MS wouldn't actually allow that to be the case, so if someone can tell me what basic thing I'm doing wrong.

I am having trouble developing an asp.net page. I can create custom collections and use them in win apps, but when i reference the system.collections namespace, the page response hangs up. No exception info is passed back or anything. The page just freezes. Is this a common problem. I am wondering if its due to the assembly not being present (but am unsure why an exception wouldn't indicate this.).

I have a software package with a bunch of libraries and header files that I am trying to use in a VB.net application. The software help file states the following: The MIL DVD includes MIL libraries that support the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 (unmanaged) compiler under Windows Vista/XP. The DVD also includes ActiveMIL ActiveX controls for Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003/2005/2008, Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003/2005/2008, and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 RAD tools.
To compile a MIL application program, you must include the mil.h header file, in addition to the required standard C include files. After you have compiled your application program, you will have to link it with the appropriate libraries or import libraries for your operating system, compiler, and target board.

I've got a bunch of DLL projects that I'm pulling into my application, each contains their own Settings.settings/app.config. When I compile the app and run for debugging, everything works just fine, but come deployment time I can't get my DLLs to read their own settings files.I've been doing some reading and it has become apparent that there's a couple of methods to getting each dll to read its own configuration - one is to dedicate a .dll.config to the library and the other is to embed the dll's configuration in the process.exe.config.I'm having significant issues trying to implement either and I wondered if anyone has any good docs on this - there appears to be a shortage on the Net.
I'd like a separate .dll.config for each of the libraries if possible, but in a pinch, getting each of my libraries to read their own section of the process.exe.config will he right direction because I'm so close to rolling this application out but this stumbling block is causing me a significant headache.Edit: When I merge the configuration files, I start getting TypeInitializer exceptions when I initialize objects withing my libraries. This is likely just me being retarded, but does someone have a working example of a merged config file and some basic demonstrative code for reading it from multiple assemblies?

good way to run windows script host code from vb.net? Im trying to run some dsf com components but they are only for the 64-bit version of scripting engine installed. I wish i could execute my code from vb.net but sometimes it doesnt want to work because im referencing the 32-bit version script control and not the 64-bit scripting environment.
So my goal out of this is to find a 64-bit scripting component dll or library that i can use for executing a wsf file thats mostly written in vbscript but has some xml from the windows script host.Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.

I've tried clicking on my_app --> New Reference --> Pick the DLL from my folder, then add Imports mydll.xxxx. Doesn't seem to work, keeps saying i need to fix the import xxx.xxxxx. I've checked in my References tab and see the reference name in there. I am looking at an example of how in the modules docs, and they have an vb app that uses it, and they use import xxx.xxxx when i try to do that, it doesn't work. Any ideas?

I've made a program using Visual Basic Express Edition which references MySql.Data.dll (located at C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Connector Net 5.2.3Binaries.NET 2.0MySql.Data.dll) which has been installed on my computer. But when I run my compiled program on a different computer (without MySQL Connector/.NET installed) I am unable to start the program as it gives me an error.
I'm wondering if there is a way to compile the dll with my program so that I wouldn't have to install MySQL Connector on the only computer it'll be executed on (I'm not sure if I have the privilege to install programs on it yet).Or is there a way I could import the dll at runtime which is located in the same directory as my .exe?

I'm learning to play the Trumpet and thought it would be a great idea to write myself a flash card type program that would flash a note, pick up the sound from the microphone, determine the pitch, compare it to the note and evaluate right/wrong. For example, it puts a middle C on the screen, listens for a tone above the din and beeps or buzzes if the result is right or wrong.

I have a simple vb.net project that outputs a dll. In order to build this project, I have to reference some 3 3rd party dlls by manually adding them to the project and then building.
What I want to do now is auto build this using a app called CruiseControl. . . I have been told that in order to use the 3 3rd party dlls, I have to modify the .proj file to include the .dlls. The thing is, where in the proj file do I include this
and how do I do this? I think I may know where the section is and I have included it here:
[code...]
When I run the auto build program it fails (it runs through but fails at compile time); when I build this manually it works when i refer the dlls. What am I missing to make this work?

I've spent a long time bashing my head against my desk and an even longer time trying to get directX to work with vb.net. I've downloaded the June 2010 SDK and installed. I cannot import the directx reference, and it does not even show up in the add references popup. even when manually going into the c:program filesMicrosoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) and search every folder for the correct file it does not exist. What the hell. I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Pro. this is the most frustrating thing.

I have a program that has a button with text of "Email". When the user clicks this button I would like my application to check to see if the user has Microsoft Outlook installed on their system, and, if so, to open it up with the email address populated from a field within my form.I'm having several problems.I just basically don't know where to begin.I've searched the internet some, but couldn't find much that begins where I need to begin.Firstly, I _don't_ have Outlook installed on my computer that I am developing the application from.This is probably why, when I go to Import a Reference on the COM tab, that I cannot find the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook item.Then, based on what I have read elsewhere, I would do the following:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
But then I'm not quite sure the code to call up Outlook, although I bet I could find it if I could just get over that first hurdle.

I have a standalone aspx with vb.net backend file. I need to import google api referance in this file. If i put this file in a asp.net application project, the referance gets imported easily by using "add referance". But when i use a standalone file, the referance cannot be imported.
How can i import this google api referance (or any referance) in an aspx file without having to make a project for it?[code]...

I don't know what this is called so I've struggled to find an answer from google but I have a vague memory of it from t'old days.I've sub-classed (* see below) about 8 framework controls, overriden some properties and added some functionality into each one.The changes I have made are identical in every case. If I make a change, I have to go through each class and apply the same change there.I was hoping there may be a keyword such as <IncludeSourcefile "common.vb> that I can put into each class.
(* note) I use the term sub-classed but I don't know if that's the correct terminology. I've also seen it used for call-backs. Is sub-classed the correct term to use?

I designed 7 class libraries for 1 project.The project references all 7 libraries.3 of the 7 libraries make references to the other 4 libraries.I thought of just duplicating the code that's referenced in the other 4 libraries, but thats a lot of code.
Example:
PrjctA makes reference to LibA, LibB, LibC, & LibD.If LibA references LibB & LibC also will this fail?

I'm currently maintaining some old code for a company. As it would happen, the current app I'm modifying uses an older version of the in-house library (we'll call this Lib1.dll). They also have a new version of the library called Lib2.dll that improves upon the previous library in many ways.
Unfortunately, Lib2 is not backward compatible with Lib1. What's worse is that they both use the same namespace Product.Common.
How do I use Lib2 and Lib1 in the same project? Right now if I add references to both of them, VS tells me that certain classes are ambiguous (which makes sense, since they using the same namespace).
Basically, I need something like:
Imports Lib1:Product.Common.Class
I'm using VB.NET 1.1.

I'm creating an application that will utilize a lot of functions for performing scientific calculations. There will also be a lot of 3D and 2D rendering in my application. Hence i will have a lot of common functions that will be utilized frequently.
I have noticed that class libraries (DLL's) are utilized in applications similar to mine, and am wondering if i should utilize them in my application. The trouble is, i can't really think of what use they will be to me. The functions in my application will only be called upon by my application, so i do not need to make my functions accessible to others. The only other benefit i can see from using DLL's is reduced memory usage and .exe size.
Whats the benefit of using DLL's instead of just creating a bunch of modules in my application to store my functions? I have read that another benefit of using DLL's is they are easier to maintain and update as you can update the DLL rather than your entire application. I dont quite understand this, as if you are going to utilize new and updated functions you have added to your DLL's, then you will need to update the code that calls them as well. So again i don't see the benefit in using DLL's in my application.

I'm looking at a small remoting project in VB.NET. Initial research turns up references to msrdp.ocx which my Windows 7 Ult system doesn't have; a filesystem search on the same platform turns up MsRdpWebAccess.dll which doesn't appear to be well documented; finally hunting through COM references in Visual Studio turns up rdpencom.dll labeled "rdpcomapi 1.0 Type Library" which seems to be best documented via personal developer blogs (which isn't encouraging but is a lot better than other options).
My goal is a lightweight remoting application I can deploy to Windows 2000 Client/Server, WinXP x86/x64, Win2k3 Server, Vista x86/64, and Win2k8 Server.Is there anything DotNET Native I can use instead of one of these COM libraries? Is one of these COM libraries better for the job overall than others; and then am I going to have platform-specific compatibility issues if I don't provide support for more than 1 of them in my app?

I'm creating a class library that contains a series of functions with Try...Catch blocks to handle errors. When i run another application that uses the class library, and call a function in the library using parameters that i know should cause an error (i.e. divide by zero), i don't get an exception thrown.
Can you not use Try.. Catch blocks in external libraries? If not, how are you suppose to handle errors in these functions?

I was wondering if you could tell me of any free libraries for the .NET framework (2.0) that you know of that can convert a PDF file to HTML or XML. I've seen several components that do the opposite, meaning HMTL to PDF, but not what I need. Essentially, I need the html version of my PDFs because I need to search through the text. Also, the Adobe Acrobat SDK is not an option for me, even though I know it has the exact functionality I need.

I've just about finished my WPF app, but I just hit a hurdle: my app needs to be totally localized (I've achieved this using databinding/RESX files & multiple cultures), and the actual program does this My problem is that I have a window where you generate reports on your progress.It's designed so that programmers will be able to design their own 'report sections', using interfaces & class libraries.Just one problem though: when I use RESX files inside these class libraries, they won't actually change even if I set their culture to the relevant culture I want to test.

I'm looking for a library that will disassemble x86 code into some sort of object model that I can then use to write routines that analyze the code. I'm not interested in a library that converts x86 code to text disassembly--I've found more than a few of those, but they're not that useful since I want to do some work on top of the code that I disassemble. Oh, and I'd like it to be .Net code (VB or C# preferable).Program / C# x86 disassembler libraries?

At my workplace, we're having troubles with Windows 7. Folders that are supposed to be in the libraries (e.g. Documents Library) aren't appearing. While we sort the issue out via Group Policy, I'd like a "DIY fix" that people can run and keep working instead of flooding IT support with requests. From snooping around, I've found that the folders are stored in an XML file here:
[Code]...
I can edit it by hand or programatically, but there is a node called <serialized> which is a long string of alphanumeric characters. It's not necessary (I can manually add folders without this and it works fine) but I was thinking there must be a better way to go about this, so my question is:
Is there a VB.NET function or class that lets me add and query folders in the library without manually creating the XML and inserting it myself? I'm happy to do it myself, but if there is a better way to go about it, I'm all for it!

Maybe this is a stupid question....I'm looking at a project that would require me to burn a video to DVD in such a way that a traditional DVD player could play it. I've found several '3rd party tools' that do this, which is great and the direction I'll probably take.
But, I can't, for the life of me, fathom how to sit down and write a video to DVD. I know this is largely academic (Just use the available libraries!) still, I'd really like some direction on how I would/could go about doing this myself.
