Question by nicnax: Visual Basic 2008 need help with exception?
The following text is what i get when i try and run any of my programs on computers other than my own. I am not sure what i am supposed to do to fix it :S

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You need to install the .Net Framework 3.5 on their machine

Download it here

Or change your project to use framework 2 going to the Project Properties –> Compile –> Advanced Compile and changing Target Framework to .Net Framework 2

Question by Sean: Why doesn’t my Visual Basic 6 database application with DAO work anymore?
I made a database application in Visual Basic sometime around 2002 on a machine running Windows 2000 and Office 97. I’m now on Windows XP with Office XP. It uses DAO (current ver 3.51) and Data Bound List Controls (current ver 6.0). I don’t know which versions of these I used when I compiled it back in 2002. The compiled version works fine. But now when I recompile it with only cosmetic changes it doesn’t work. When it updates a record, it puts the information in the wrong field! Is there some simple fix? Do I need to load earlier versions of something? Or can someone point me to a website that describes how to fix my application to work on WinXP with Office XP.
I converted my db to Access 2000 and changed all my DAT controls to Access 2000 but it still doesn’t work.
My database is currently in Access 97 format.
MS Jet 4.0 says it comes with DAO 3.6. I switched my reference to that and changed my recordset, database and querydef dim statements to dao.recordset, etc. but it still does the same thing.

‘m not positive but I believe Office XP no longer supports DAO…using ADO instead. If your VB6 application hits an Access97 database it will work fine, but hitting any Access version after that will be problematic. Try loading an Access97 version of your db.

Question by Brian D: binding and exporting a database with my application in Visual Basic Express so that I can read write?
What I am trying to do is be able to move things around (picture files), on a Form that I made in VB and furthermore associate file strings to them. I will have an opendialogbox with them as the user has to click on them and selects a file that is then assigned to the picture file. Also the user is able to dynamically create and drag the pictures around the form and leave it wherever they want to. The problem I am having, and thinking that I might need a database because after the file is closed, it is opened again, I want to have the points (locations on the form), for the specific pictures as well as the file associated with them loaded up so that everything looks as it did before they closed it. Now I am wondering if I need a whole elaborate database for that. In the end this application has to be able to be transported to their machine and executed. Thus this means that the database has to go with it. Any ideas? Sample code? Will an XML file work better?
This is the general idea for the input into the MSSQL. Let me know if this is all needed…

Public Sub Save(ByVal bwavfile() As Byte)

Dim DBInsertCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim sSQL As String
Dim strConn As String

strConn = “”
DBInsertCmd = New SqlClient.SqlCommand
DBInsertCmd.Connection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(strConn)

Dim strBase64WavFile As String = Convert.ToBase64String(bwavfile)

sSQL = “INSERT INTO wavfiles(filename, soundfile) values (@filename, ” &_
“@bwavfile)”
DBInsertCmd.CommandText = sSQL
With DBInsertCmd.Parameters
.Clear()
.Add(”@filename”, Me.TextBox2.Text)
.Add(”@bwavfile”, strBase64WavFile)
End With

DBInsertCmd.Connection.Open()
Try
DBInsertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
MessageBox.Show(”Wav File Saved”)
Catch oExcept As Exception
MessageBox.Show(oExcept.Message)
End Try

DBInsertCmd.Connection.Close()
DBInsertCmd = Nothing
End Sub
I am trying to understand the pieces more precicely and know more of what I really need and do not or even if I need this whole scheme. Perhaps if you have a simple working example about the saving of dynamic data creation to file, I would be very happy to see it.

Thanks much,

Brian

You’re not getting any good responses because no serious programmers use VB. Perhaps you should find a Microsoft forum.
