Re: Visual Studio Basic 2010 Express Download

To do this you need to locate the "applicationhost.config" file. After VS2015 it's located in [solutiondir]\.vs\config\applicationhost.config. (If you are working at a museum and use a visual studio version before 2015, you can find the file in MyDocuments/IISExpress/config, but you should also remember to first put coal in your steam engine to power on your computer).
In this file, you'll want to find the path to site/bindings and add a binding like this:
Where '52494' would be the port number. Note that I'm using HTTP, as HTTPS would require you to setup a local certificate for it. The IISExpress default certificate only works for localhost.
Hi - I am a pretty remedial visual studio express user. I recently understood how to do cascading comboboxes using the binding sources of the related tables, eg tbl 1 Make, Table 2 model, so as eg only ford models displayed in cbo2 if Ford selected in cbo1 - thanks to Beth Massi!
However I'm having some trouble with the following scenario. I have a 'tblUser' table with fields: Name, Name_id, Firstname and Surname. I have a tblAsset' table with fields: 'AssetNo' and 'Description'. On form I have 4 controls: 2 x cbo and 2 x txt. Now, there is no direct link between Asset and User tables, because our administrators don't put the current user User IDs or names in the Asset container in AD!...at least not in their own field... Just some daft free text field called 'Description', which has the current user of an asset as part of the description string, eg "SOH-12345, Room 2b, Melanie Jones". So what I successfully did in access was use a LIKE statement to get (eg) all the 'Jones' entries in a combobox (using the Surname field on the form) then select the correct one, and use the related AssetNo. (The reason for this was so I could use the resulting AssetNo as the value to remote control a PC using Remote Access/MSRA in Windows). So basically the SQL says something like SELECT tblAsset.Description WHERE Description LIKE "" & txtSurname & "".
I'm a bit stumped, and I guess it's a lack of knowledge about creating a dataset from this query, i'm not sure. What I need to do is use cboUser to select a user (Eg Mel Jones), that user's Surname appears in txtSurname. Then cboUserAsset needs to display all the 'Jones's' entries in the 'Description' field of the Asset table, and I select the one that says "SOH-54321, Room 2b, Mel Jones". When I select that, txtAsset is populated with "SOH-54321", and I can use that to run a connect command in MSRA.
So it looks like cboUser would fire off the SQL string and populate cboUserAsset, but I'm not sure how to get that data in that control. Sorry this is long-winded. I'm looking all over, and will continue to, but can anyone shed some light on what I'm not 'getting'? Many Thanks.
Thanks for looking at this for me. I got a few errors when playing with this, I wonder if it's to do with the version or language - I'm using visual basic 2010 express. For the SqlCommand bit I'm getting error: Type 'SqlCommand' is not defined,and the same for SqlDataAdapter, also for SQLdr it says SQLdr is not declared - what is SQLdr in the code above? Am I able to 'define' SqlCommand somehow, or should I be using a different syntax?
I'm sorry, this is probably something I should be able to fill the blanks on, but I'm pretty much starting out with VB after getting relatively competent at Access, which is obviously much easier and more forgiving then the more grown up languages!
I think you pointed out to me what it seems I was failing to understand, I have to create a connection string or dataset, whereas I was just thinking I could put a sql string into the indexchanged of cbo1, then the data would just 'create' and could be referenced in cbo2. It now seems that's not the case...I have lots to do!
Thanks, I've sorted it now, you helped me think a little more about what I was doing. In a nutshell, I created the dataset from the sql string, then I created the table adapter then it was just a matter of connecting the controls to the newly created table. I'm using visual studio so you can use various menus to do this. I think I should really know how to do this in raw code, but for now VS is helping me contextualise what I'm doing. Many Thanks.
In October 2023, NIST researchers released a preview version of easyEXPRESS, a tool to help EXPRESS-based standard developers. This release also marks an important milestone for NIST as its first official Visual Studio Code extension, available for free through the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
EXPRESS, being a language and standard itself, requires developers to follow complex syntactic and semantic rules to write valid models. EXPRESS models cannot be used until they are verified against the rules of the language. Traditionally, in the STEP development workflow, developers will:
The constant context-switching between tools and lack of real-time feedback is a major pain point for STEP developers, making addressing new manufacturing interoperability requirements in STEP a slow and tedious process. Moreover, the complexity of manufacturing translates into EXPRESS models that are long and complex to read, understand, and properly edit.
Following common text and code editing conventions, easyEXPRESS provides integrated and real-time feedback in the form of red squiggly lines, as seen in the image above, where a typo on line 11 and a syntax error on line 12 have been identified and reported to the user. easyEXPRESS also provides syntax highlighting to help developers read and visually navigate the EXPRESS models in front of them. Additionally, easyEXPRESS also provides traditional development features such as IntelliSense, Code Navigation, or Symbol renaming.
Still early in its development, easyEXPRESS can be found in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace as an easyEXPRESS extension. Our team is adding new features, implementing additional EXPRESS semantic rules, and following a monthly release schedule. We invite you to keep track of our progress, report bugs, and discuss new features on our public page at usnistgov/easyexpress-public.
This Instrucable will guide you through creating a basic calculator application in C# using Microsoft's Visual Studo development software. Visual Studio is a form of development software made by Microsoft to help developers create programs more easily. It is free and can be downloaded on their website.
What you will need:
A computer running Windows 7 or higher
About 30min - 1hr of free time
Possibly a scratch sheet of paper for understanding logic.
Visual Studio:
2013 Download: -US/products/visual-studio-express-vs
2010 Download: -us/library/dd831853(v=vs.100).aspx
I will be using the 2010 version of Visual Studio in this tutorial, but every version is pretty similar.
If you are familiar with the Java programming language, C# functions very similarly. The syntax is just slightly different.
Don't worry if you aren't familiar with programming. This Instructable will guide you through the entire process. All you need are some problem solving skills!
1.1. After downloading and installing, run Visual Studio so it is open on your computer.
1.2. At the welcome screen, click "New Project...," or do the following: File->New->Project
A window should pop up asking for some basic configurations.
1.3. Select "Visual C#" in the Installed Templates Column.
1.4. Next, select "Windows Forms Application" in the right column and name your project in the name field below. I have named mine "Calculator," but choose any name you like.
1.5. After completing all of the above, Click "OK" and let Visual Studio build the shell for your program. When finished, your screen should look like the last image above.
1.6. Click Save All (the triple save icon on top of the screen) and move on to step 2!
This step will help you create an intuitive calculator design for your users.
2.1. Select the "Form1.cs [Design]" tab if not already selected. This Form is the window that will display when your program is run. Clicking the green arrow in the toolbar on top of the screen will run the program as an application (opening it in a new window). Try it. Close the new window with the X when you are done.
On the right side of the screen*, there are two important menus (Toolbox and Properties). The Toolbox menu allows you to add new items (like buttons) to your interface, while the Properties menu allows you to change the specifics of your currently selected item on the screen.
*Note: These menus may not be located on the right for everyone. They can be placed wherever the programmer desires by clicking and dragging around the screen. If they are not visible, open the View menu, and choose "Toolbox" or "Properties Window." This will make the menus visible on the screen.
2.2. In the Toolbox menu, click and drag a Button and a TextBox onto your Form. You can change the the size of the Button/TextBox by clicking and dragging any of the dots surrounding it.
2.3. Add** 16 more buttons to the Form and arrange them to look like a calculator (See Fig. 3). Position them around the Form by clicking and dragging.
**Pro tip: Selecting a button and using "Ctrl-C" then "Ctrl-V" will copy and paste another button to the Form. Saves on clicking and dragging!
2.4. Select a button. Its properties will be displayed in the properties menu off to the side. In the Appearance section, you can edit an item's appearance. Use the Text field to change the text on a button. Have some fun picking different BackColors and types of font.
2.5. Scroll down to the Design section in the Properties menu and edit the name field for each button. (This isn't required, but it will make coding much easier). Name each button something you can easily keep track of. Eg: Name the 1 button "one," that way you can keep track of it in the code later.
2.6. Click Save All and move on to step 3!
