----------------------------------- Ninja Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:10 pm Compilation problems ----------------------------------- Hey guys, i am starting out with VB.NET and i just created a "Hello world" application but when i compile and run it it gives me the following results on the result screen, but the program itself compiles and runs perfectly fine ERROR: 'WindowsApplication1.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\mscorlib\2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\mscorlib.dll', No symbols loaded.

Is this something serious? or should i not worry about it.Thanks :-D ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:32 pm ----------------------------------- Well if your program runs fine and your computer seems to run fine then I don't think it's a serious problem. However, you may still want to contact tech support and see how you can prevent this. ----------------------------------- Ninja Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:43 pm ----------------------------------- after looking around on google for a while i came up with some information, those arent error messages they are simply the debugger information saying "No symbols loaded" sort of like an informative thing, it can be disabled if you manually edit the Project-properties information under the debugger section in VS2005 :-D ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Nov 04, 2006 11:57 am ----------------------------------- May we see the offending source code? ----------------------------------- Ninja Sat Nov 04, 2006 9:04 pm ----------------------------------- Here you go :-D Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click PictureBox1.Visible = False ' hide picture Label1.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 10)) ' pick numbers Label2.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 10)) Label3.Text = CStr(Int(Rnd() * 10)) ' if any number is 7 display picture and beep If (Label1.Text = "7") Or (Label2.Text = "7") _ Or (Label3.Text = "7") Then PictureBox1.Visible = True Beep() End If End Sub Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Me.Close() End Sub End Class [/code] ----------------------------------- Ninja Sat Nov 04, 2006 9:10 pm ----------------------------------- oh by the way, do you guys know of any resources where i can get VB.net command references from, like today i was wondering how to actually close the form i created when you click on the edit button, luckily a friend of mine knew what it was and i got around the problem but i was just wondering where to get a complete command reference from. ----------------------------------- wtd Sun Nov 05, 2006 4:27 pm ----------------------------------- MSDN ----------------------------------- rdrake Sun Nov 05, 2006 7:40 pm ----------------------------------- oh by the way, do you guys know of any resources where i can get VB.net command references from, like today i was wondering how to actually close the form i created when you click on the edit button, luckily a friend of mine knew what it was and i got around the problem but i was just wondering where to get a complete command reference from.As wtd said, MSDN is a good reference. As for forums, [url=http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/]here has about 1.3 million posts and [url=http://www.vbforums.com/]here has about 2.4 million posts. You're bound to find out info on problems you're having. ----------------------------------- wtd Sun Nov 05, 2006 8:07 pm ----------------------------------- Also, if I may, unless you are constrained to using VB.NET by a class you're in, then I strongly suggest you use C#. It's the same library, but just so much nicer a language in which to use that library. Oh, and try naming your variables meaningfully. "Label1" is a really bad name for a variable. What does it label? For instance, let's say it labels an input field where a name is input. nameInputFieldLabel ----------------------------------- rdrake Sun Nov 05, 2006 8:27 pm ----------------------------------- As I recall, VB follows a system like so:txtName - Textbox lblName - Label frmName - Form modName - ModuleWell, you get the point. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go try to forget all of this VB stuff before I go insane. ----------------------------------- Ninja Sun Nov 05, 2006 11:17 pm ----------------------------------- Also, if I may, unless you are constrained to using VB.NET by a class you're in, then I strongly suggest you use C#.

As mentioned earlier, they are both using the exact same libraries. It's primarily the language then that is different, and of the two, C# is the better. If your teacher is going to be using the .Net version of VB, then learning the .Net frameworks via C# will help you tremendously. If he or she is going to be using VB6, then you should know that VB6 and VB.NET are two entirely different languages, with only some superficial similarities. ----------------------------------- Ninja Mon Nov 06, 2006 12:17 am ----------------------------------- i wanted to learn VB because my teacher is going to be teaching it soon and the idea of programming a language with primary GUI based stuff sounds cool There is nothing about VB.NET that makes it better for GUIs than C#.
