I can't remember if VB6 has an Upgrade wizard or not. I don't remember seeing one. That being said, I think your only option is to rewrite the code in a VB6 project.

There is no upgrade wizard in vb6 like vb.net. But when you open your vb5 project in vb6 application, it will prompt you to convert your project to vb6 project. Then after it convert you will be able to coding your application in vb6 language. And when you try to open to open your covert project in vb5 it won't be able to open.
If you want to covert your code make sure that you backup your orginal project. Because some function might not work in vb6 that need you to rewrite it again.

Hi, can anyone give me some pointers here, I’m currently converting a MS Access project to VB.NET and I’m finding the data structures very slow to use, for example in VB.NET I’m creating a typed Dataset adding a query to it if needed and calling it like so:
Private dtNorskeImport As DBSGeeGroupLIVEDataSet1.tblNorskeImportDataTable<br />
Private drNorskeImport As DBSGeeGroupLIVEDataSet1.tblNorskeImportRow<br />
Private taNorskeImport As New DBSGeeGroupLIVEDataSet1TableAdapters.tblNorskeImportTableAdapter<br />
<br />
dtNorskeImport = taNorskeImport.GetDataByNull<br />
drNorskeImport = dtNorskeImport.Rows(0)<br />
drNorskeImport.Feild1 = 123<br />
taNorskeImport.Update(dtNorskeImport)
Is there a better way? Or Faster way?

What data structures? You've shown un a bunch of code that you wrote to call methods in your classes, but nothing that could be used to determine what could be so slow in those methods.

Sorry, the slow part is all the code that is required to do such a simple task.
|
|

|

Well that answer didn't help.
At this point, you're only options are to step through the debugger and see if there is a bottleneck somewhere or get your hands on a code profiler that times the execution of individual methods and even statements.

The fastest way to update data is to use a command object to run an sql query.

Hi guys, does anyone know where i can find the images in vb.net. I mean, the toolstrip has some common items and they come with images ass well as the bindingnavigator (next, previous...)
Does anyone know where i can find this pics or even better...Does anyone know of a good images library that i could get (FREE) somewhere on the internet
Plese post any links here so we can use some cool pics in our apps
images = icons, small images..U know what i mean
Thank You
Alexei

Not sure what your trying to accomplish here but I have been able to use all sorts of images (bitmaps, jpeg, gif....) in my apps. The only image that I'd like to see more support on is the Targa image.

I can't remember the path off the top of my head, but they're in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7. Ahhhh screw it, just search the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET folder for Common and you'll find the images in there.

how to remove VBA help from references which is under tools. when i included my library, its calling VBA and my library. but i want only library to display
www.tamilselvan.zoomshare.com

If your component requires a reference to VBA, then your code using that component will automatically have the same reference. You can't turn it off.

I developed a Form that I want to be able to use in any of my projects. How can I create a dll with this form? Or is there a way to create a file with just this form in it that can be used in other projects?
Thanks for any help.

Hi dude, i hope i can help you, im not an expert but ive been working with dlls for the last days
1: create a windows controllibrary project
2:In the defaul control, change to codeview and inherit it from form
CODE:
Public Class UserControl1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
End Class
3:Chage back to designview, the control must be now a form
4: Do anything you need with that form
5:Compile it
6:On the other project (from where u want to use it), add a reference to the control you just created(rootofthecontrol\bin\release\nameofyourlibrary)
7: on the new project, change to codeview and change the defaul form to inherit from your custom form (inherits from nameofyourlibrary.yourcustomform)
I think it should work
I hope you can do what you need

I have converted my first project to VS 2005 and I have 32 warnings that all say this:
Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated.
I have variables setup as Friend Shared so I can use them throughout my project. Maybe I need to put these variables in a module to get away from this error?
Can someone give me a better explanation of what this error really means?
Confused?

What it's effectively saying is that you no longer need to use an instance of many of the objects provided in the framework.
Eg:
Instead of using
Dim fFile as system.io.file
bVal = fFile.exists("c:\mytextfile.text")
you should instead use
bVal = system.io.file.exists("c:\mytextfile.text")
Basically you no longer need to create an instance to be able to use the functions that would normally be tied to that instance.

One line of code that I'm receiving this error is:
Dim diff As TimeSpan = start.op_Subtraction(System.DateTime.Now, start)
It worked fine in VS2003, but now I get this error. What do you suggest I change for this one?
Another line that is getting this warning is:
Me.cbxEEName.Cursor.Show
And finally another example is what I mentioned in my original message, I have a variable setup in one class (clsSqlCalls) as friend shared:
Friend Shared BeneficiaryDataset As DataSet
and I reference it in another class:
Dim clsSQL As New clsSQLCalls<br />
If clsSQL.BeneficiaryDataset.HasChanges Then
You answered this question. I replaced the code with:
If clsSQLCalls.BeneficiaryDataset.HasChanges Then
and it worked... Thanks.
Any suggestions on the first two examples of code?

One thing to be clear about is that you are not getting error messages - you are getting warnings. Your code should compile and run (assuming it works elsewhere!) regardless of this, the compiler is just informing you about ways to improve the syntax of your code.
Can you let me know what 'start' is defined as, and also I assume that cnxEEName is a control on your form of some description?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, you're right, they are warnings, and my code was working fine in 2003, but is working less than perfect in 2005. I'm tackling the warnings hoping the application will work the way it originally did.
Here is how start is defined:
Dim start As DateTime = System.DateTime.Now
Also cbxEEName is a combobox on one of the forms in this application.
I appreciate your feedback.

You realise that the intellisense box will actually suggest what you need to replace these with to get rid of the warning? In this case:
dim start as DateTime<br />
dim diff as TimeSpan = system.DateTime.op_subtraction(system.DateTime.Now, start)
You still need the definition of start, as you are actually using the instance in the function, not just using it to gain access to the function.
For the second:
windows.forms.cursor.show()
I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do here, but this is recommended substitution for the code you provided.

Thanks!! With your help I've taken my 32 warnings down to 6, and I'll keep working on the 6. Many more projects to convert up, but at least I have an idea how to figure out some of these warnings.
What is confusing is Microsoft wanted us to create an instance for everything, now they warn you that it isn't a good idea.
Thanks again!

I currently have a usercontrol that is a large rectangular panel. On this usercontrol I have a series of usercontrols that are all smaller rectangles running horizontally. The smaller usercontrols run off the bottom of the panel and hence the panel is scrollable. This is by design.
Each of the smaller usercontrols has a background image. When the panel is scrolled, the rendering of the smaller usercontrols is slow and blurred, only settling back to normal once the scrolling has stopped.
Am I just asking too much by expecting it to render smoothly in mid-scroll, or can I improve matters by forcing repainting more frequently while the scrolling occurs?
I am using VB .NET with VS2005.
Thanks for any assistance, and please let me know if I haven't provided sufficient detail.
