My files are all saved in C:\users\xxx. I want them in a different place by default. I've tried selecting the project name and bringing up the properties window but there is no place to change the default location. Anyway, if I save files to E:\VB, I'll get a set of folders like: E:\VB\test1\test1\bin\debug. Why not E:\VB\Test1 ????
How do I change the VB.NET default file location to E:\VB from C:\users\xxxx ???

You're asking about a large number of different features / settings.
You can change the default save location in Tools, Options, Projects and Solution
You probably want to uncheck the Create folder for solution checkbox when creating a project
You created a new project. If you do Save All, it will prompt for a save location. Change that to match your preference and this new location will be used by VS from now on.

I have vb.net windows application project and I want to make another project base on the first project and modify some forms or reports.
The scenario is, copy entire project as link then delete forms/reports that I want to modify then create the same form/report name that I want to modify, by doing this I only maintain one source code on most of them.
I don't want to do this one by one by adding existing item and Add as link, I have tried to create a solution with many projects and drag folder from base project to new project with 'Alt' key pressed with no success
I have read somewhere to edit project file something like this:
_Inlined\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)
but it makes vs 2012 not responding
If you want to create a new project based on the first project, my suggestion is to copy the entire project folder and then rename.
Once you do this, you will have two identical projects with the same linked files, meaning that if you want to edit the new one, it would be exactly like editing the new one.
OK so currently this is the code I have below of a picture box
PxBx.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\Users\Ashleysaurus\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ThisProject\ThisProject\Images\filename.JPG")
What is the correct syntax for using images files stored in the application files after i publish a project? Namely b/c this path will not always be the same based off when/where users would store the app files?
I did a bit of searching but havent figured out how to ask the correct question to get the answer from forums/google.
Thanks in advance
I suggest you to add to your Settings.settings a new entry for the path to the folder where you store the images. This setting will be read at runtime and used to find your images. The advantage of this approach is that you can manually (or through your setup code) change the config file (where the setting is stored) to whatever your customer requires. Instead, hard coding a path (relative or not) inside the code is just a problem waiting to happen.
To add an entry in your setting.settings file right click your project and select properties, then the settings tab. Here, add a Name like "ImagePath", of Type = String and Scope = "Application", then set your current path as value and save.
Now, if you open the app.config (or web.config) file you will see the new entry and its value. To use it at runtime
string imagePath = Properties.Settings.Default.ImagePath;
You can utilize the Application.StartupPath property and use Path.Combine() to construct a proper path:
PxBx.Image = Image.FromFile(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Images", "filename.JPG"))
You have to add the image to the project.
You have 2 ways:
Create a folder in your solution explorer called Images or whatever you want. Right click on it and click 'Add Existing Item'. Choose the image you want.
Then type in your code:
PxBx.Image = Image.FromFile("Images\FileName.jpg")
Click on your project name in the solution explorer. It will take you to a new "screen" (I don't know how to call it), from the right click on 'Resources', from there you can add your image.
Then you reference it in your code using:
PxBx.Image = My.Resources.Filename
I'm using Phpstorm7 on mac. When I open one less file, Phpstorm tells me that it can be watched, so I just allow it to be watched. However, I want to compile this less file to another directory, instead of the same directory.
Saying, I need compile sites/all/themes/bic/less/style.less to sites/all/themes/css/style.css.
After a long research, it seems I need to edit some file watcher, but I can't find such file watcher stuff anywehre in Phpstorm7. There's no such 'File watcher' setting when I go to 'File' => 'Default Settings' in Phpstorm7. Now I can't stop this less from compiling either.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
File | Default Settings is for settings that will be applied to the brand new projects.
All settings (both IDE-wide as well as project specific) are located in the same place as every other Mac program does -- it's called "Preferences" (which you should now where to find, since you are a Mac user).
PhpStorm v7.x has a feature called Search Everywhere (Shift 2 times or by clicking on corresponding icon in toolbar) -- it searches trough settings/preferences as well.
I want to make some small modifications to the default control template of some controls in my windows phone 8 app. The problem is that I can't find these default templates. Anyone know where they can be found?
I am looking for something like this, but this is for WPF and not WP8.
Thank you
You can find the file containing all the default control templates here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Design\System.Windows.xaml
Edit: also, the Windows Store Dev Center has a lot of them listed if you search for "styles and templates"
I'm not aware of such a listing for WP8, however, you can use Blend or Visual Studio to edit a copy of a control's current template by right clicking on the control and then selecting Edit Style, Edit Template or Edit Additional Templates as appropriate. In the submenu, you can select Edit a Copy... which will present a window that allows you to create a copy of the default (or current template/stlye if you have already modified it) and customize it.
Does anybody know how to change the default sources folder in Netbeans 7.1.2
I've looked through the files but can't seem to locate where the default directory is stored - I have been through the forums but can't find anything useful..?
currently C:\Users\wayne\Documents\NetBeansProjects\PhpProject7
I have read that if you select a different directory then that becomes the default - this is not the case on my installation
Thanks
If you are using Windows 7 or vista, you are gonna find it here C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.1.2\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties.
However if you you are using windowsXP remember the USERPROFILE enviromental variable is not Users but rather Documents and Settings. Enviromental variables change depending on the operating system you are using. To know whats the USERPROFILE variable for yours just open a command prompt window and type SET USERPROFILE. Or you can simply type %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\$ENTER_YOUR_NETBEANS_VERSION_NUMBER_HERE\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties and that will send you to the correct directory.
It's actually pretty simple.
"C:\Users\wayne\.netbeans\7.1.2\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules there is a file called projectui"
is right on the money, but he forgot one detail that you need to keep in mind for changing the directory. If you want to set the default project folder to (in my case):
"C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1.2.2\glassfish\domains\domain1\docroot"
then you have to double the slashes. Instead of the above link you have to put:
"C:\\Program Files\\glassfish-3.1.2.2\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1\\docroot"
without spaces. I had it that way originally but it hid one of each of them.
In newer versions, right-click on the project you want to move in the 'Projects' tab, and then click 'Move'. This will allow you to move the project to a new directory.
Tip! I found (on Windows 7) that the AppData folder is hidden, so doesn't appear in windows explorer files by default .
To make it visible, open a window for the USERPROFILE directory as above, and use
Organize ->
Folder and Search Options ->
View (tab) ->
Advanced settings list ->
Hidden files and folders radio button to show them.
(Or you can open it via search or run if you type it right)
I hope that saves you the several hours it cost me...
