• Visual Studio Text Lines OverLaps in the Help Menus Display Window

• Visual Basic Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed

  I installed VS 2005 Beta 2 on a WinXP pro system (numerous times). It finally installed without erreors. It looks like it is basically working - I can create a new windows project and add items from the toolbox, edit the code etc. If I open an existing project (created on another box) things load properly but I cannot open any forms in designer view (I can open them in code view). When I attempt to open a form in design view I get the following error popup: ===================== There is no editor available for 'c:\....\myForm.vb'. Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed. ==================== Any thought on how to cor ...Show All

• Visual Basic very poor design

  i know i am new to vb, but i am very disappointed in some areas. 1. the help sucks, almost every item i click on i get an error. all of the suggestions are useless because it's a link problem. they just don't work. 2. and who in their right mind would store files that have to do with projects outside the folder named for that project makes no sense. if i want to back up a project, i shoud be able to go to that folder and make a copy. but no, the vb code is stored outside the project folder, under projects. just stupid if you ask me.

• Visual Basic How to migrate VB.NET 2000 code to VB.NET 2005 code

  Hi   I would like to know if is possible to update VB.NET 2002 code to VB.NET 2005 and if you know some procedures that can help me   Thanks Do you mean VB.NET 2002 The only version prior to that is VB6. If you mean VB.NET 2002, I would not have expected any huge problems. Is there not a migrate wizard There is for C#, I import a project, it migrates it ( I think changing only the project files, as that's all that needs changing ), and it just works. If you mean VB6, there is a tool, apparently, which apparently does not work well. VB6 and VB.NET are virtually two different ...Show All

• Windows Forms NullReferenceException in Unknown Module when binding 2 checkboxes.

  Hi, I am getting a nullreferenceexception in Unknown Module, additional information: Object reference not set to a instance of an object when databinding 2 checkboxes in my form. This form is a secondary form called modally from the startup form. When I step through the code slowly, I don't get this error, I also don't get this error when I call show instead of ShowDialog. When I comment out one of the binding statements, I also no longer get this error. What am I missing It seems like there is a validation event occuring somewhere but I can't find the actual code that is running Any help would be appreciated. Kevin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial port properties NOT binding.

  There seems to be some problem (bug ) with the serial port properties binding. I have : Baudrate, Databits, Handshake, Parity, Portname and StopBits set up as binding, the little binding symbol appears next to the name and also they are all listed under the Application Settings. Of all the above only the HandShake (Flow control) is properly saved on exit and restored at startup, all other values for the serial port revert to the default state rather than the state on exit. Other settings for other controls are all saved/restored ok except the above. Can anyone one shed any light on this please Perhaps someone who uses serial ports can try it ...Show All
