Program only works in within visual studio

I can run my program in visual studio, but when i run the release or debug build of it independently i get this error message:

Just-In-Time Debugging

An exception 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' has occurred in vbGOD.exe.

Possible Debuggers:

New instance of Microsoft CLR Debugger 2003
New instance of Visual Studio .NET 2003
vbGOD - Microsoft Visual Basic .NET [design] - Form1.vb[Design]: Visual Studio .NET 2003

What can cause something like this?

The config file is not present ? The best way to find out is to accept the offer of attaching to a debugger and see what line is blowing up.

Ok I launched the debug version of the independent build and used a debugger and got this message:

Additional information: File or assembly name AxInterop.SHDocVw, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

I checked the assembly and found AxInterop.SHDocVw. I also looked at the line of code that was causing the problem and it was the "InitializeComponent()" one.

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()

'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

End Sub

I use SHDocVW once in my code:

Private Sub IENavigate(ByVal Target As String)
Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
'Navigate to a new page or local file
IE.Navigate(Target)
'Show the window
IE.Visible = True
End Sub

OK - because you use it, that file is needed to run your code. When you import something, check the properties and set 'copy to local folder' so you get a copy in your build folder, to make it easy to grab and deploy.

In the references it has AxSHDocVw and SHDocVw with the "Copy Local" property already set to "True"

Key Board Hooking and SendInput function

;)I have pulled together a VB.net project that hooks the keyboard (Ref. Paul Kimmel's hooking program) and allow the user to send "mouse right clicks" via the SendInpuut function (mouse emulation works fine). I am also trying to make this project capable of "Rearrange the keyboard" (example type "e" and "K" is sent to the application) by using SendInput function and I am not able to get it to work. I am finding the use of SendInput function for emmulating key board inputs, not very easy to use..

In am wonder, what are the pros and cons of using SendInput, SendKeys and KeyBoardEvent?? I have been able to get the SendKeys function to work in the project and rearrange the keyboard, except for emmulating "PageUp", "PageDown" (problems with the data types,,).. Another reason that I want to use SendInput function over SendKeys, is the ease of being able to strip down the keyboard input to raw data and change what an application would receive...

I am looking for further discussion on these topics. I would be very happy to share my project code with someone interested in helping me trouble shoot the SendInput function. The project toggles the keyboard input (new mode = ` / old mode = esc). In "new mode" the "d" key when pressed becomes a mouse right click and the "e" key when pressed should place a "t" (thats the problem), into the keyboard input buffer. The SendInput function fails as it returns a "0" as oppose to a "1"..

Reference: Paul Kimmel, Managing Low-Level Keyboard Hooks in VB.NET, Developer. com

Thanks to all that have contributed on my project, either directly by helping out at discussion group, email or by articles publisher to the web on Key Board Hooking, SendInput function, Win32 API's,,, Your help has been priceless.

Thanks again

Matt,

One of the windows "message" functions you didn't mention, is TranslateMessage. I don't see in your description what your message target is, but if you are using WM_KEYDOWN in your code it's a good idea to check into this function.

I'd be glad to take a look at your code,If you'll send it to my email address.

Overloads vs. Shadows

Hi all...
I need to know the difference between Shadows and Overloads, when should i Shadows a Function in the base class and when should i Overloads it.
And i need to know if i can remove a function that exists in an inherited class from my class.

I had no idea about any of this, but google makes it pretty easy to find out.

Shadows: The Shadows keyword works like the Overloads keyword except that with shadows we do not have to follow rules such as implementing the same signature. The Shadows keyword does not require the consent (override ability) of the inherited class to replace the property or method's implementation code. A method does not have to be defined as overridable for the Shadows keyword to work.

bulletproof code best practices

I'm updating a database and want to write well-formed code.

The user attempts to add an item to the db. Items must be unique by name; the item already exists. I check this in my code.

Question:

Which is better:
1] My AddNewItem routine first checks to see if the proposed item exists. Only if it does not will it call an AddItem routine
2] My AddNewItem routine simply calls an AttemptAddNewItem routine. It is that routine's job to handle the checking.

i.e. (pseudo-code only):

1]

sub AddNewItem
   if !CheckforExisting() then
      AddItem()
   else
      'warn user
   end if
end sub

sub AddItem
   'adds new record to db
end function

function CheckForExisting
   ' checks for existing item
end function

sub AddNewItem
      AddItem()
end sub

sub AttemptAddItem
   if !CheckforExisting() then
      'adds new record to db
   else
      'warn user
   end if
end function

function CheckForExisting
   ' checks for existing item
end function

It depends what you want to do - if someone tries to add an item that has the same unique identifier, do you want to treat it as editing the current item, or ignore it ? What sort of load are you expecting this program to have ? That is, how many database calls a second do you expect ? If this were a web app, I'd have a return code from the stored proc I called to insert tell me if the item already existed, so I only made one round trip to the database, then I'd deal with telling the user based on that code.

Windows Shutdown

klmall24-Aug-05 8:41

A tray application I have created is preventing windows from shutting down or logging off. The application is just used to poll the machine to get the IP addresses of the interfaces and display it to the user when they click on it. If I close the application, windows behaves normally. If I leave the application running and attempt to shutdown, the application will close, but windows does not shutdown. If I tell windows to shutdown again, then it will shutdown.

I have read the querysessionend MSDN article and have attempted to implent that, but even though I can trap the shutdown, logoff, etc... event, I still cannot seem to determine why Windows will not shutdown.

I am really stuck here... Anyone come across this or have any ideas of things to try? Confused | :confused:

Your help is appreciated...

ActiveDocument.SaveAs Problem

Jim Munton24-Aug-05 8:36

24-Aug-05 8:36

I have a problem with a Word VBA function that is called from an Access VBA application.

The following line executes fine when the user has all permissions allowed to the folder in which the document is saved but when "Delete Subfolders and Files" and "Delete" are denied Word generates the dialogue "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error".

ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=fpn_newlet, FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument, _
LockComments:=False, Password:="", AddToRecentFiles:=True, WritePassword _
:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, EmbedTrueTypeFonts:=False, _
SaveNativePictureFormat:=False, SaveFormsData:=False, SaveAsAOCELetter:= _
False

I am not sure if this problem is due to automation between Access and Word or a known problem.

Cannot find a solution - can anyone help?

Re: ActiveDocument.SaveAs Problem

Dave Kreskowiak24-Aug-05 9:00

This is because when you save a Word document, Word saves the document into a temporary file in the same directory that the original document was opened in. After the new tempo file has been written, the original document file is deleted and the temp file renamed to the same name as the original. THERE IS NO WORKAROUND FOR THIS. You must put the Delete permissions back in in order for Word to properly save documents.

Many thanks for the reply. I suspected there wasn't a workaround but the strange thing is if I SaveAs from the File menu in Word then the problem does not occur.

Kind regards

That's because an entirely new file is written, just like the temp file, but the original file is never deleted.

Export to excel formatting question

Hi,
I am exporting a chunk of data in html present in a div tags to excel on the client side using some thing like following piece of code. It exports fine and it is working correctly.
The data in the div tags contain two tables inside it. The first table will give you the header information and the second table will give you the body of the data.

In the excel I want the data in the first table to be aligned to the center of the page which will be left aligned on the web page.So, i.e when I click the export to excel button I want the header information which is left aligned in the webpage must be aligned to center of the excel page. How can we do that? If you can post me a piece of code it will be of great help.

Thanks,
Raj.

In my VB solution I need to write to a MS word file the data & graphic, therefore I need to add the VBIDE.dll in the Project Add Reference/COM.

However, when I try to search in COM list for the VBIDE ... I could not find it, except I only find the Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library! This alone can not help me.

Anyone know how to add reference for VBIDE?

Thanks for any help
