I am programming in both Matlab (Matlab2011a) and Visual Basic (VS2008).I've created a .exe file from my matlab code. It works well when I click on it with my mouse. But I need to run it within Visual Basic. I know it's possible to call .exe files with Shell() or Process.Start(), and it works well for files such as firefox.exe or notepad.exe.
However, it doesn't work when I call my own .exe file ... It's weird because when I look to the Task Manager while trying to call it (within VB), I can see the process starting and ending, but its output doesn't appear.

View 4 RepliesI've upgraded to VS2010 version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel; when upgrading my VS2008 project, all is well and appears correct until I run the code. Then I get the following error when I run a report that uses an XSD file for the schema"Inconvertible type mismatch between SourceColumn 'TemplateName' of Byte[] and the DataColumn 'TemplateName' of String.".When I look in the original XSD file and in the new XSD file, one of my fields has been converted from a string to a byte and I have no idea why.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently moving over to W7 from Vista I've moved my source over (amazingly hassle free), but the Build option on my installer in my solution produces a different size (200K+) setup.exe file.
Initial question are:
1) Is there a log file I can compare betwen the two builds (V7 -v- Vista)
2) I thought that any compiler settings would 'follow the solution' Is this so?
I have a text file data to insert into a database for report
ITEM01,Toy
ITEM02,Card
Let me briefly list down the steps i took to achieve my result.
1) Insert data into Database using text file
2) Display the records from the NEW Database(Item2) using DataGridView
3) Using datagridview, i use to checkboxes to determine the selectedRow
4) Once the selectedRow are selected. I press on Delete Button
Delete Button - Update the Item2 Table field 'Deleted' to 1 - Delete the ItemID by using datagridview selectedrow cell value Which means in 1 loop, i process two database transaction.. Is there something wrong? How do i shorten the process to just delete the item without querying two database.
I need to load and parse a text file and extract data between points on any given line. I can load the file, but it's the parsing that's giving me headaches. e.g. "Phoned Jim and arranged for John to attend site" First I need to search for "Phoned" because the line always starts with that, and then I need to extract "Jim and arranged for John"

View 1 RepliesI have a program written in VB.Net (Visual Studio 2008) that uses a DLL written in Visual C++ by another developer. I'd like to be able to step in to the C++ code as my code makes calls to methods in the DLL. Since the DLL is it's own solution, I don't think it can be included in my solution/project. I tried putting the DLLs pdb file in the debug/bin directory with the rest of my build and pdb files. However, when I get to the point in stepping through my code, and it gets to the dll call, it just steps right over the dll code. Do I have to manually load symbols?

I have a new 64 bit machine with vs2008 - is there anyway to mouseover a guid value and have it appear? What makes guid's so special that their value doesn't show like most variables?

View 7 RepliesI've created a dll in VS2010 with.NET Framework version 4.0 Now I want to add this dll as a reference in a 3.5 project in VS2008. When I do this I get <The System cannot find the reference specified>... does someone has a solution for this issue. When I downgrade the dll to version 3.5 I can add it as a reference and all works ok, but downgrading to 3.5 isn't an option because other dll's are depending on the 4.0 framework.

View 14 RepliesI have a project that I am testing with Windows 7, its almost complete but doesnt function without elevating the users permissions, I've tried a few of the sample codes I've found online and they don't seem to work... This has been tested on a admin account, but still requires elevated privaliges... I believe becuase it directly effects critical and non-critical windows services (starting, stopping, retreiving the status, enabling or disabling them)

I understand the UAC could be used to implement this "admin only" restriction, but as I havent even tried using the UAC Settings area yet. As I said, a link to helpful content would be cool, an example would be great.Running Visual Studio 2005 under a Visual Basic Environment.
In the VB6 interface, when you went to Project>References, it would list all the references that have already been added to the project with a ticked box next to the name. However in VS2008, when you go to Project>Add references, the tickboxes are not there. So how do you know whether or not a reference has already been added?

I have a big application which is really working succesfully written in VB.Net version 2005 I am wanting to upgrade this to VS2008/2010 early next year. All versions used would be the fully paid for versions
I am totally clueless about what this upgrade would entail. I cannot afford to re-write the entire application as it is critical to our business.Can I take my code across without too much hassle? And then slowly "re-write" the code to take full use of the new features. Would i need to attend some sort of "new features" course? Or is the accompanying documentation good enough to get by.
when upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010 or what problems & issues you ran into? Just trying to make the switch as painless as possible.
