• Pooja Katiyar To Microsoft staff. Would you call this a bug?

  Hi, Please read my concern in thread>> http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=836609&SiteID=1 thank you in advance. :-)   Regards, S_DS   I think KitG answered your question. From the signature - you'll notice he has a microsoft address and is in fact on the VB team. This is more an issue with the .NET framework Common Language Runtime rather than VB specific issue. But I would probably say its a current design limitation. ...Show All

• Harry Leboeuf Kinepolis Installer Failing to Upgrade App from 1.1 to 2.0

  Hi, I have an application that I developed in 1.1; the application was delopyed to a large number of workstations via GPO (have used this process multiple times to upgrade the application); I have recently updraded the application to 2.0 and when installing the application on my test workstation (not using GPO at this stage) it fails to upgrade the previous version that was written in 1.1, I end up with the old version and new version sitting in the "Add and Remove programs" list. I can confirm that both applications have different product codes and the same upgrade code, I have also selected in the 2.0 installer to "RemovePreviousVersions". I have used Orca to check that the upgrade ID are the same even after the setup ...Show All

• Enzoe Beginners question

  Hi, when I use the HelloWorld example from the interop forms toolkit, everything is fine except if I try to add a new Public Sub. 1) E.g. I add the following code (while VB6 IDE is closed): in class HelloWorldForm after # Region "Public Methods" : <InteropFormMethod()> _ Public Sub newPosition( ByVal x As Integer , ByVal y As Integer ) Me .Left = x Me .Top = y End Sub 2) I open the vb6 IDE and start the main app. I press the "launch .NET form" button and see a modified .NET form, because I modified the form earlier in the .NET environment. 3) But if I edit the vb6 code re browse the objects in the object browser, I can not see the new Public Sub.

• ile Responding To A User Clicking The Red X In Upper Right Corner

  Using VS05 Visual Basic - when a user closes a program by the red x in the upper right hand corner, is there a way to respond to that the same way as if they had properly used File, Exit Does the X raise an event I have not been able to figure this out yet. I don't want to disable the X, just respond to it. Thanks for your help. Bob The reason is this is a telephony application and File|Exit waits for all calls to finish before exiting the program. The Red X simply hangs up on everyone as the program closes. Thanks! Bob Hi, you could hook into FormClosing event and check the CloseReason parameter to see why it's being closed. If it's value is "UserClosing", the user either clicked the Red X, pres ...Show All

• Cell_PT Recompile from C# to VB.Net

  I downloaded the BeerHouse Starter Kit, E-Commerce website, to find it C#, could i convert it to VB.Net If yes, Kindly advise in detail how Thank youuu Since it's a website, the online converters (such as Kamal...) will not be of much help since they won't convert inline asp.net code, or the entire folder-based website, or any newer language features such as generics.

• Steven Gilissen Converting VBA to VB2005 problem (or my ignorance)

  Hi, I've been in the IT trade all my life. I didn't come to this job as a programmer but after working here a short while, I showed everyone how I could save the company tons of man-hours (money) with a few custom programs. They didn't have any programming languages so I used VBA inside of their Office 2002 suite. They were so impressed, they gave me anything I wanted. I wanted Visual Studio 2005. Suddenly I'm a full time programmer here. The first thing I wanted to do while I familiarized myself with VS2005 was convert an already working, processing intensive, program that I had already written in VBA. This thing literally compares billions of cells in very large spreadsheets, and as you can imagine, it takes a while to process. I spen ...Show All

• Voodoo45 DirectoryInfo Class Question

  I need to store the contents of a directory at different intervals and compare them for changes. The FileSystemWatcher class has too much overhead that I just dont need - in addition, it has admitted flaws with buffer overruns and what not. My objective: have 2 variables of type DirectoryInfo. Compare them for various changes (file changes, additions, deletions). My concern is that both variables will always have the latest/greatest directory information making the point of comparing them stupid. Is this the case If so, is there something in the documentation that details this. I couldnt find it. Thanks in advance. Er Eric66, What about the DirectoryInfo.GetFileSyst ...Show All
