In the older versions you used to be able to put a * in the version number and the compile action would fill in that number for you.
2005 seems to not allow * in the project properties window anymore. Any ideas?

You can only put the wildcard in the Build Number (3rd), or Revision (last) position of the Assembly Version.
If you doing this in the My Project Properties, Application Tab, Assembly Information button, you can specify a wildcard for the Build Number by putting an asterisk in the 3rd box for the Assembly Version and clearing the contents of the 4th box. The 4th box MUST be blank for this to work.
Also , when building components or class libraries, it's better to specify the complete Assembly version instead of letting the compiler "fill in the blanks". This is because if you go back and change your component, it will get a new assmebly version number. Default version policy says that an assembly will only work with the components of the version that it was built with. Meaning if you change the version number of one of an applcations components, you either have to rebuild the assemblies that use it to update the the version number that they're expecting, or create a new version policy in the applications config file to override which version the app will look for.
Go to MSDN and search for "AssemblyVersionAttribute Class" for more information.

Thanks. I understand about the versioning scheme and how it behaves. It make sense.
What I don't understand as why MS changed what they had before.
I used to be able to just set the revision (4th place) to a * and have things the way I wanted them. This gave me some kind of way to make a determination between individual builds out in the field. Now, from what it sounds like, to do this I need to actually care about how many times I hit the damn build button.
UGH!

They didn't, really. You can put the wildcard in either the 3rd or 4th place. You just can't have anything after it. So long as it shows up in the assembly.vb code as 1.0.* or 1.0.0.*, it'll work.
I personally never use auto incrementing numbers. Not ever for Build Number, since this is a random number anyway and not the actual number of times the assembly has been built.

Are you sure about that? When I open up my project properties, go into the Assembly Information window and try to change the last section of my version number form 0 to * I get a dialog box that tells me:
"Assembly File Version: A wildcard ("*") is not allowed in this field."

Yeah, I tried it myself to verify before posting. You can use a wildcard in only the 3rd or 4th position of the Assembly Version number. You cannot use the wildcard in the File Version number at all.
The only issue I found was that if the wildcard is placed in the 3rd position of the Assembly Version, the 4th position MUST be blank.

Hi, users! Please, tell me, how to use API function CopyMemory!
For example, how to read memory address F000:FFF5
contained 8 bytes?
After this code VB IDE will be closed with error!
CopyMemory MyVar, &FFFF5, &8
This snippet I was see at one of VB sites.

My first question would be what are you trying to do with it?
Since the proc is switched to 32-bit flat addressing, the segment and offset address you specified doesn't have any meaning. Also, you can't just read any memory you want from anywhere. Various areas are protected, such as the kernel. And, each process get's it's own address space, essentially making it think it's the only one running on the system.

Hi All,
I am developing a single project application using VB.Net. I have added a “resx” file to the same project. But I don’t know how to create instance of that file. One of my friend has told me that I can create instance using Resources.ResourceManager. But I don’t know how to use it. Can anybody help me in this regard.
Regards,
Krishnaraj

Hello,
I have added a notify icon component along with a context menu. I'm using these to be able to hide/show the main form of my application. I was wondering is it possible to make the window appear with a shortcut key (e.g. by pressing F11)? The problem is that when the main form is hidden [Me.Hide()] the KeyPress events are not working. I think this is because the form is "out of focus" and therefore can't monitor keypresses. Can you come up with a solution? Maybe with a timer?
With best regards,
R.I.

Here's a small example. I hope it does what you're looking for.
Try this using 2 forms. In Form1 add a button control & this code
Private Sub Button1_Click(...) Handles Button1.Click
'open form2 & hide the startup form (form1)
Dim f2 As New Form2
Me.Hide()
f2.Show()
End Sub
Then in Form2 on the KeyUp event add this code
Public f1 As Form1
Private Sub Form2_KeyUp(...) Handles Me.KeyUp
'show the main form after pushing F11
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F11 Then
f1 = Application.OpenForms.Item("Form1")
f1.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Hope that helps.

Another way to accomplish this is to use a menu control. Make a menu item that uses a shortcut key, and then set that menu item's visible property to false. This will cause it not to show up in the menu, but whenever you press the shortcut key you assigned to it, the on_click event will fire.
