Visual Basic.net v.s. Visual Studio.net

Ian Smith

I have VB.net 2002 and am trying to open the samples from
101 Visual Basic.Net Applications.

They won't load, saying they were created by a more
recent version of Visual Studio.

Should these examples open in VB2002? Do I need the full
Visual Studio rather than just VB (despite the title of
the book)?

That message usually appears when the solution was developed in Visual
Studio .NET 2003 and you are running 2002. You should need only Visual
Basic, not all of Visual Studio.
What does the author have to say about software version used to produce the
examples?
If they were produced in 2003, there are ways to modify them to load in
2002:

Hope this helps.

The following hack may work (I said MAY... right?):

1) create a working project in your version of VB and
make sure that it works...

2) open up the project files of the non-loading project
in a text editor and compare the versions with those of
the new project you created in step one.

3) the lines needed to be changed are towards the
beginning of the file...

4) change the versions in the non-loading project to read
the same as those of the new project.

5) save the new file and close the editor

6) try to load the project again.... it should load and
complile..

Let me know if it didn't work.

Thanks
Nasser

visual studio.net version compatibility

I am currently taking a college course in Visual Basic.Net and I am a beginner. I bought Visual Studio.Net 2003 to do my homework at home.

Evidently the lab is using Visual Studio.Net 2002. My professor doesn't just want the executable file, he wants...

visual studio licensing

by: wolfing1 | last post by:

We are some 3-5 developers here 'informally' using visual basic 6. So if I want to formalize this and start using visual basic .net, how does licensing work? Do we have to buy 5 visual studio .net "Enterprise Developer" ? Also, we only had one box of visual studio .6 so can we use the 'version upgrade' prices? Thanks

Visual Studio compiles slowly, low CPU usage

by: Bruno Jouhier [MVP] | last post by:

I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon: At my Office, Visual Studio takes a very long time to compile our solution (more than 1 minute for the first project). At home, Visual Studio compiles the same solution much faster (about 10 seconds for the first project). My home computer is only marginally faster than the one I have at the office (P4 2.53 vs. P4 2.4, same amount of RAM). On the slow machine, the CPU usage is very low,...

Why no patch for the anoying Visual Basic compiler problem

by: sqlguy | last post by:

Why do we have to contact MS for a problem that has been with this compiler from at least the beta of VS 20005. I am so sick and tired of the 30 - 40 clicks it takes to dismiss VS when there is a problem. Can they not just post the fix. I see no reason to contact MS since I have most likely sent about 1500 dumps to them and I would think this would get their attention.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
