I have a VB.Net 2008 project that use ActiveReports. The problem is that any control on the report does not list the control's Name in the Properties window. All other properties seem to be there, just not the Name. The only way to change the name is to go into the forms .vb and change the name with a search and replace (like Me.Label1 to Me.lblAmount). All other forms are fine, it's just the ActiveReports forms. This happened just recently and there didn't seem to be any sort of update/event that triggered it. Anyone else have this issue before?
Thanks in advance,

It is suggested that you download and upgrade to the most recent available build/service pack of the version of ActiveReports you are working with. And thereafter you should not face an issues.
The latest service packs can be downloaded from the following links :
AR3 : http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/121331/ShowPost.aspx
AR6 : http://www.datadynamics.com/forums/83/ShowForum.aspx
AR7 : http://our.componentone.com/groups/topic/activereports-7-service-pack-1-maintenance-release-now-available-2/
After the download, make sure that all of the dll’s of the upgraded version are present in the GAC. Also check that there isn't any dll of the previous version is present in GAC. After that remove all the ActiveReports references and then re-add the latest dll(s) in your project. Re-build the whole solution. You may also try creating a new project and check whether the name property appears.

I have been using dotnetbar to make projects for a while now, but recentlyy i handed out my laptop to a friend of mine who happened to uninstall dotnetbar and then re-installed it with an older version (Had 12.8.0.6 Now 10.9)
After this happened I Could not open some projects because of reference based errors.
I tried 'Add Reference' options in VS 2013, but even after i re-select the dotnetbar references(which seem to have stuck to the version 12.8.0.6 rather than the one i have V 10.9) the errors still remain persistent and the reference selected remain unselected(after selecting them they seem good, but after going back to the add reference menu again, this references remain unchecked even after i had selected them earlier)

Please I Had worked so much on this project, and am due to hand it in on Monday
any help will be incredibly appreciated.
Thank You For Your Time.

Ok The solution is simply to remove all existing dotnetbar2.dll references and re-add them from your new installation folder
Hey guys my friend sent me his vb.net project made in VS2012 but I'm using VS2010. Now I can't open the file, it says 'This project is incompatible with current version of Visual Studio'. I have Googled it out and they said I need to change format version to v11 instead of 12 and also change target framework to 4.0. However, I am only able to change the format version to v11, but unable to change the target framework since I have nothing to access in the properties , as it shows 'there are no property pages for the selection'. How can I fix this?? Anyway to change the framework without going into properties??
Thanks!
Nevermind, I've figured it out guys.
open up the .vcxproj file using note pad and change the number from 4.5 to 4.0,so it should look like this
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
I've recently upgraded my project to Visual Basic 2008 and I'm getting the following errors which I cannot identify, I hope someone can help:
AxThreed.AxSSCommand is not defined
AxActiveInput.AxSSDropDownEdit is not defined
AxPVTEXT3DLib.AxPVText3D is not defined
Any idea what this is and how to fix it?
It looks these are references to 3rd Party ActiveX controls. ActiveThreed, Protoview Date Control, etc
You may need to Add/Re-Add the relevant control to your project. Right click on the toolbox so select the items to want to use. If you don't see them in the list to may need to register/re-register them on that machine
Have a look at this page for more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973200.aspx
Number 3 here seems to indicate how to fix the problem... I believe some of your controls are not loading.
Just to start off, this question does seem very similar to another post Add the DLL (lame_enc.dll) reference to my project, but I haven't been able to successfully apply that answer. I am pretty new to VB.NET so it is very possible I'm simply missing something obvious.
I am trying to link a DLL to a VB.NET 2010 project to allow my VB app to play *.ogg files. I followed some other advice here on the forums and downloaded FMOD's FMOD Ex Programmers API. I am trying to now reference that functionality. These appear to be the files I need to somehow reference.
C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Programmers API Windows\api\fmodex64.dll.
C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Programmers API Windows\api\libfmodex64_vc.lib.
I haven't discovered how to add a *.lib reference (or the equivalent), but selecting the DLL as a reference gives the following error.
A reference to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD
Programmers API Windows\api\fmodex64.dll' could not be added. Please
make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly
or COM component.
I'm not sure what I could be missing. Any ideas? Thanks!
In Solution Explorer, double-click the My Project node for the project.
In the Project Designer, click the References tab.
Click the Add button to open the Add Reference dialog box.
In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference.
Select the components you want to reference, then click OK.
Another approach I was trying is working for me. I found a site with a working example of a LibZPlay VB.NET sample ( http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=7789&lngWId=10 ). It runs under VS 2008 and I was able to adapt my project to use LibZPlay (open source library http://libzplay.sourceforge.net/WELCOME.html ) under VS 2008.
That is sufficient for me for now. Thanks for your advice. It was likely some configuration issue or misunderstanding on my end.
Using VB.net 2015 I (could not add or even find a System32 dll) as a reference using Solution Explorer, Tab References. Going to the MAIN Menu, Projects/Add References...
Used Browse and All the System32 dll were visible. Then I was able to load the needed dll.
I've created a class project in VS 2010 Beta 2. I've added one Activity to it. Saved it. Created another Activity. I would expect the first Activity to appear in the toolbox so I could drag it into my workflow, but it's not. Any ideas?
I had this problem with Visual Studio 2010 RTM as well. I wrote a blog post with a potential solution here.
Essentially, the toolbox doesn't load your custom activities if you have two projects in your solution that share the same folder.
Make sure your Custom Activity class is marked as public.
I experienced this issue too. My workflow service project was part of a solution with other projects. I removed the workflow service project from the main solution and created a new solution only containing the workflow service project. After a build, the custom activities were generated and listed in the toolbox.
I don't know if this is still relevant for you but I had the same problem.
I could solve it like this:
Right click on the Toolbox to open context menu.
Select Choose Items...
Select the tab System.Activities Components
Click on browse and select the dll that contains the custom activity
Make sure that the activity shows in the list and is checked
Click OK
Not really the same question but in Visual Studio 2012, on a 64 bit windows, I had a 64 bit application with CodeActivity and NativeActivity and they were not showing up in the toolbox. I changed the application to AnyCPU and built it, and the activities are now displayed...
I hope it will help someone :)
I resolved this by creating a Windows Workflow 4.0 Console application and then removing out the Program.cs. Very odd, but it worked.
