Visual Basic PortDelete problems in Vista

2 New Member
I am having problems with adding a deleting a printer port in code for Windows Vista. I am creating the port with AddPortEx() (I know this is obsolete, but the adding works in Vista, so I have no motivation to find something that works in Vista). To delete the port, I call DeletePort(). In OS's previous to Vista, this delete works, however in Vista, i get the error message "The requested resource is in use." Is there a different way to do this in Vista so it will work? I know there is a way, I just don't know what it is. :-P

Thanks!

Sorry, I meant DeletePort, not PortDelete. Sorry. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone. I've been trying to move some small applications written in vb.net 2003 to vb.net 2005 express just for testing purposes. I have noticed so far that the applications seem to run much slower in the 2005 version. Especially when it comes to nested loops. I haven't done much testing so it might just be this one computer but I was curious to know if anyone else has experienced these kind of problems when moving to the 2005...

Does anyone know which edition of Vista you have to buy if you use Visual Studio and probably will upgrade to Visual Studio 2008? Is the Ultimate edition necessary, or will the home or business edition work just fine?
