• Visual Basic How to go from VB.net to VB 6.0?

  I know that this may sound like an awkward question, but how do I best migrate from using VB.Net to learn the basic coding-features of VB 6.0 I'm studying to become a teacher in computer science but at the school where I'm having my teacher's practice they only have VB 6.0 and not the .NET version. Since VB.NET was the first Visual Basic language i was taught, I'm not very familiar with VB 6... I'm grateful for any guidance. Thanks! (This is my first posting here and I hope my question is appropriate for this forum.) Yes I think a term used for VB 4 - 6 was "Object Based" and not "Objec ...Show All

• Visual Basic Refactor bug on default properties

  I wondered if this bug is noteworthy. VB Express comes with a small refactor feature that allows you to symbolically rename identifiers, but less advanced than in C# Express. However, if you declare a default property in a class (such as an indexed property if your class wraps an array and a bunch of relevant information), then address this property, you will get a little tricky situation if you refactor this property. I wrote a short class to demonstrate this: Public Class TestCase Private items As List(Of Object) Public Shared Function Exists(ByRef obj As Object, ByRef test As TestCase) As Boolean Dim i As Integer For i = 0 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving from one TFS to another

  I've been running TFS and VSTS for one very large project, and it's been great, except for the fact that our server was a free workstation that really wasn't up to the task.  So, we got a new server.  Now, I need to move the project from the old server to the new server.  It seems like there is no tool, which I'm OK with - if I need to do a lot of manual steps, that is fine.  I was just hoping someone had done this, and could offer any help.  Right now, it seems like the easiest solution is just have one person check out everything , and then add these projects to the new server - but we'll lose our history, and I re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Web service documentation

  Hi all Where can I find  the documentation for the web service interface for team foundation server I need to add bug work items from another system and it would be nice, if we can use a webservice interface to add the bugs.

• Visual Studio Error. Failed to load expression host assembly. Trying to use local report manually copied to mapi dir (VSTO project)

  You may see from earlier posts that I'm having difficulty deploying report solutions (VS2005 B2) and VSTO. My VSTO app opens a winform report viewer.  Even very basic reports (no data) fail. My last attempt was to use the report path option.  The first error said the report def was not found in the dir 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033', so I manually copied the rdlc file there.  Now I get another error "Processing Errors" "Failed to load exressions host assembly.  Details: Could not load file or assempbl 'expression_host_601.....' version=10.2.50215.44, culture=nutral,...  Failed to grant permis ...Show All

• Visual C++ Dispose in C++/CLI

  I know that there is a lot of articles about this, but it is still not 100% clear. Suppose that I have the following classes: Client (C#, uses Server class) Server (C++/CLI) Helper (C++/CLI, reference of this class is kept in the Server class). Running FxCop on my project, I get the following message about Helper instance: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/fxcop/docs/rules.aspx version=1.35&url=/Usage/DisposableFieldsShouldBeDisposed.html This means, both Server and Client are disposable, and I can write: server.Dispose() in the C# client. However, both Server and Helper have only plain C++ destructors: ~Server, ~Helper. How can I ...Show All
