• Visual Basic vb5 to vb2005 express

  How can i convert my vb5 sources to vb2005 without vb6 Okay, I didn't know whether it'd open a VB5 project: that's the way to convert VB6 projects. Good top know it opened. However, you have probably a long, up-hill struggle with the converted project. Generally, the recommendation would be to keep an existing project in it's native development environment, unless it's fairly trivial. The upgrade process is a simple 'unintelligent' process, and it won't convert to the eqivalent new features in VB 2005 (e.g. file handling or graphics). You will need to go through the whole program to check almost every line for functionality - it may be easier to rewrite, while supporting the existing version, and trans ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB vs VBA Performance

  Hi, I am new to VB, trying to learn my ways through VB Express. I have an application like this: 1. open an Excel file - the file contains about 6000 rows/25 columns, mostly text - it's a dump of a requirements database. 2. Go through each row and do something with 1 or 2 cells - like add strings, remove blank lines, etc.. 3. save the file and exit. I work mostly in VBA macros and the performance has been acceptable. But when I switched to VB Express I noticed it takes a lot longer - minutes as compared to seconds. Here's an approximate execution time comparison: 1. VBA macro running from Excel = 5 seconds 2. VB Express = 2.5 minutes Without giving out too much detail, is this kind of performance hit expected when work ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Inivsible Button

  Hi, Could someone tell me how to make a button that isn't seen to the user, but still can be pressed If i use button1.visible = false then you can't press it. Thanks in advance, Josh If your form had it's default settings, with a background color of 'control' and no background images or the like added, then the label would have appeared as 'invisible.' If you keep the default settings, and change the textbox backcolor to 'control' and change it's border style to 'none', it will also appear 'invisible.' You though, probably want to take a different path. So I may not have solutions. If you need additional help, you may want to find the Form1.Designer.vb (the Initializ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System .vsmdi file creation in multiple dev environment with a locked solution

  We have a multiple developer environment with the scenario of many developers writing unit tests at the same time. Our policy is to lock down the solution file as we have a number of junior developers whom we don't want modifying the solution. The problem that is occuring is when developers refresh their list of tests in the unit test view is that the refresh locks up as they can't add a .vsmdi file to the solution. At the moment we are setting the local copies of the .vsmdi file to be writable, is there a better work around for this Regards, Ben Winters Well, the best option would be check out the vsmdi file when you wanto to manage the test lists and then checkin the file, the problem would be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Combo to display name from second table instead of ID from first table

  Ok, here's another noob question. I'm a convert from Access/VBA and learning how to work in Visual Basic. Problem : Displaying names and not IDs from member table in a combo box that is referred to by its ID in the Program table . Ok, that needs some more explanation. Here's the setup : Tables: Program Member Times Program is related to Member by its foreign key ProgramMemberID (which is MemberID in the Member table). Times is related to Program by its foreign key TimesProgramID (which is ProgramID in the Program table). So far so good. Now I create a form with the above mentioned tables and relations as its DataSet. Each form entry is one program, that also has one member selected from the Member table and mu ...Show All

• Visual C# Custom Business Objects as Data Sources

  I've built a class library and it builds fine. I go into the Data Sources of my client windows application but it doesnt appear in the data sources object list even though I've referenced it. I've done a couple of tests with building dummy class libraries and I get this problem intermitantly. I'm new to C# and so I think it could be something I'm doing wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction. grnr_r wrote: On the classes I wanted to expose as custom business objects, I hadn't defined the class as Public and with the way the Data Sources window works if there are no public properties in the business classes then the project won't appear as a data source.

• Visual Studio Dynamic help

  Hi, I have Visual Studio.Net 2003 with service pack 1 installed on a laptop. MSDN is installed on the machine but whenever I try to get help it asks for the relevant MSDN CD. How do I get MSDN to register correctly with Visual Studio Many thanks Ray Hi Ray, Apologies for the late response. From your description, it looks like only a Minimal install of the MSDN Library was done on your laptop. You need to do a Custom or Complete install, and you'll also need the MSDN Library CD/DVD to accomplish this. I'm using the latest MSDN December 2006 Library DVD for VS2005, and if I remember, the setup format is pretty much the same as for the VS2003 versions. Insert the MSDN Library CD/DVD in ...Show All

• Visual J# Single instance J# browser control

  I'm using a J# browser control applet that communicates with hardware. As such I want to allow only one instance at a time to be created by the user. In my applet class (a singleton) I check the state of a static variable that refers to the single instance of this class. If it has already been assigned to then I just display a MessageBox saying that another instance is already running and return from the constructor, and just return from init(), start(), stop() and destroy(). I launch one instance then another. The second displays the MessageBox then goes no futher - fine. I close the second then go back to the first window whereupon I get the following popping up in VS.NET 2005: DisconnectedContext was detected Message: Context 0 ...Show All
