Hi,
I'm making some minor changes to a VB 6 app that I converted to VB .NET a
couple of years ago and I'm running into an issue with a function that is
seemingly returning a different result in the debugger than when I run the
exe.
The code in question is this;
iniFileName =
Replace(System. Reflection.Asse mbly.GetExecuti ngAssembly.Loca tion, ".exe", "")
& ".ini"
This is how I had the code originally and when I run it in the debugger, I
have no problems but when I run the EXE, I get the message
c:\bin\vtexvip. exe.ini not found but it seems to be in XP Pro SP2 only. If I
run it under W2K (Where the app will be run),I have no problems. In the
debugger, the variable inifilename shows the correct value of
c:\bin\vtexvip. ini. This is driving me cookoo.
I decided to change the above code to the following;
iniFileName =
Replace(System. Reflection.Asse mbly.GetExecuti ngAssembly.Loca tion, ".exe",
".ini")
but this doesn't work at all. Although once again, in the debugger, the
variable inifilename shows the correct value of c:\bin\vtexvip. ini.
This is just a small app and is running on W2K where the problem does not
seem to exist but eventually, I may need to run it on XP and would like to
address this issue now rather that later so if anyone has any suggestions, it
would be really appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
Try this instead.
iniFileName =
Replace(System. Reflection.Asse mbly.GetEntryAs sembly.Location , ".exe",
".ini")

Maybe the upper/lower case does not match on different machines? ".exe",
".Exe" etc.
There shouldn't be a difference because, in opposite to VB6, the code is
compiled to an Exe even when started from the debugger and not interpreted
anymore.
Try
iniFileName = System.IO.Path. ChangeExtension ( _
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly.Location, _
".ini" _
)

I would use the according methods of the 'System.IO.Path ' class to remove
and replace the exension. Otherwise the code will fail if the path contains
".exe" somewhere in a folder name.
Just my 2 Euro cents...

After changing the code to use the System.IO call instead, it appears to be
working.
Thanks a bunch for your quick responses.

I'm developing an application that supports multiple languages. In my

Okay, a bit of an exaggeration.
Recently, I've been using Python more seriously, and in using the
debugger I think one of the first things I noticed was that there is
no "restart" ("R" in perldb) or "run" (gdb) command.
I was pleasantly pleased discover how easy though it was patch pdb.py
and pdb.doc; my patch for this is here:

I'm doing something wrong. I'm parsing a string into rational numbers
(int/int) by looking for spaces in the string, assinging a substring of
the original string to a temporary variable, and trimming that
substring off the original string, perhaps this is more clear in code.
In any event, what I have works fine for strings like "23 1 23452 34"
and even "1/2 2/3 3/4 4/5" but if the string looks like "1/2 -2/3 3/4
-4/5" the original string...

Hi,
Ive got a difference in results depending on wether I run my app
in the debugger, or run it seperatly (or with <ctrl-f5>)
the results in the debugger seem to be more correct, although
the app isnt finished and theres still a lot of things it gets wrong.
the processing is so complex its hard to determine where the difference can
be occuring,
its a visual display of 3d models, and theres a couple of surfaces
