I'm trying to determine if there's a way in Visual Basic 2008 (Express edition if that matters) to do inline collection initialization, a la JavaScript or Python: Dim oMapping As Dictionary(Of Integer, String) = {{1,"First"}, {2, "Second"}} I know VB2008 supports array initialization like this, but I can't seem to get it to work for co...
I wrote myself a little downloading application so that I could easily grab a set of files from my server and put them all onto a new pc with a clean install of windows, without actually going on the net.

When you sort, it'll fire the SelectedIndexChanged event for the datagrid and then still try ...

I have to use the connection dynamicly due to the fact that the database my not permanently reside on the same server. [edit] ok, so ...
While searching the interweb for a solution for my VB.net problems I often find helpful articles on a specific topic, but the code is C#. That is no big problem but it cost some time to convert it to VB manually. There are some sites that offer code converters from C# to VB and vice versa, but to fix all the flaws after the code-conversi...
Despite my lack of coding knowledge I managed to write a small little app in VB net that a lot of people are now using. Since I made it for free I have no way of knowing how popular it really is and was thinking I could make it ping some sort of online stat counter so I could figure out if I should port it to other languages. Any idea ...

I have a virtual machine (VMware) with Mercury Quick Test Professional 9.2 installed. I have a script to test an application, written in VB.NET using the Infragistics library.

Was looking for some approaches to incrementally converting an large existing ASP.NET VB.NET project to C# while still being able to deploy it as a single web application (currently deployed on a weekly basis). My thoughts were to just create a new C# ASP.NET project and slowly move pages over, but I've never attempted to do this and ...

I would like to: Minimized: Undo the minimize and bring the running instance to the front. Behind other windows: Bring the application t...
