  I am using VB.net to create and save excel worksheets and charts. My code works fine on my computer, or any other computer that has visual studio installed, but not on computers that don't. The program runs as far as the save routine (which includes drawing the graphs) and then I get : Exception from HResult: 0x800A03EC . The computers I've tested this on have the same version of office as the computer I developed this on, and they have the .ne ...Show All

But I found all of those programs missing something I needed and wanted to make an application myself. The only thing I need help with is code to transfer a song to ipod which makes it compatible with the device fo ...Show All

• Gomezd01 Write a dxf file without hidden formats

  Hi, i've been struggling with this for a while. I want to save some text in a file that will be opened by AutoCad as a dxf file. If i write a simple file in notepad and save it and then rename it with .dxf as the extension, then autocad can open it as a drawing.

• jam201984 Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: ...Show All

  I want the handling of XML documentation to be identical to how VB Commenter worked in VS2003.  That is, I want the documentation to be generated when I type ''', but I don't want the background compiler to waste precious CPU cycles analyzing the comments or wait for an XML documentation file to be generated whenever I compile my app.  Is this possible Thanks, Lance Short answer, ...Show All

• JoJe class name vs file name

  class name vs file name In wrox vb professional 2005 in the section on reflection the authors write: To see how reflection works with late binding, let’s create a new class in a separate assembly (project) and use it from within your existing application.

• David Pinero Problem with windows in my program.

  Ok, so basically what I'm doing is I have a program that has 2 frames, one on top, one on bottom.  In these frames go 2 programs.  The one on the bottom is Microsoft Excel.

The problem occurs now when I try to Open... or Save As... in Excel.  When I cli ...Show All

• Geoff Krapf - MSFT Cutting and Pasting Controls, and Handles clause (bug? or annoying quirk?)

  I am currently working in Visual Basic and I noticed something peculiar, this does not seem like a VB problem, but rather a bug with Visual Studio. If you don't want to classify it as a bug then classify it as an 'annoying little quirk'. If you set up a control (like a button), and have a method that has a handles clause that references the button (like Handles myButton.Click), and then 'cut' the button out, the Handles clause is removed!
