Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.GroupBoxArray' is obsolete - vb.net

I was converting VB6 to VB.NET and now I came across this warning.
I made research before and the result is comment relate statement then add new code if necessary. it is so far so good until I faced an others problem that after comment.
I commented obsolete warning but it made AxMSFlexGrid Array.AxMSFlexGrid Array.GetIndex not found(I got 7 warning about this). The problem made the design view can not show fully which just like the following picture. http://chanmingman.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/couldfindtype.jpg
But no longer, I don't know what happen or what have I done, it gone.
I want to know why. Anyone came across this situation like that?

It is obsolete in .Net 4. That means it works now, but it might be removed in future versions of .Net. You should probably just leave it, since you are having trouble understanding the code.

S71200 LSQL-Microsoft, Datatype changed, after copying Function Block - How do I fix this?

I am integrating SQL-Connection to one or our existing Siemens S7-1200 PLCs right now.
After copying a Function Block from a working project, one of the data types has changed and is causing trouble now.

Does anybody know, how to fix this?
Someone in the Siemens-Forum could answer my question right away.
Leaving his answer here for the next person with my problem :
With the introduction of the OUC library in version V4.x, the TCON instruction, among other things, has changed. Try to update the program on the CPU. In this case, the prerequisite is that the CPU must have at least firmware version V4.1. There is also the risk that translation errors will occur in other places where the older versions were previously used. In this case, the PLC code would have to be adjusted accordingly.

Getting reference error from appledoc when embedding code in comments

I have some code comments like this:
/**
How to use this method.
#discussion To use it, do something like the following
id hook = [[STDeallocHook alloc] initWithBlock:^{
// Do something when 'hook' is dealloced
}];
*/
So the code example is indented with 4 spaces. When I compile the docset with appledoc, it compiles correctly and shows the code as code in the API reference I generate. However back in XCode (Where I have appledoc creating warnings for issues in the doco) I get the warning:
Invalid [[STDeallocHook alloc] reference found hear STDeallocHook.h#16, unknown object: [STDeallocHook !
I think what's happening is that appledoc is looking for markdown links inside the code block.
How can I stop this warning from appearing?
I've been unable to stop it as well. It looks like it's been a known bug since 2011, but it's still broken.
Interestingly enough, I don't get it for everything. In a large code example, I'll only get a few of them... still haven't figured out how it determines to cause me grief or not...
Workarounds
This works around the warning, and looks fine in the generated documentation, but looks like crap in plain text: substitute the leading [ with the HTML escape code [
Future Fix
Supposedly, the mythical version 3 has addressed it, but I can't find any mention of an ETA for it. There is a "3.0exp1" branch from March 2012, and a "3.0dev" branch from October 2014.
If you have both the time and inclination, maybe you can see how it was fixed and patch it yourself (though the codebase has apparently changed a ton since then).
My Attempt
I felt unsatisfied with that answer, so, I went back and looked at the source code. First time in that code. It's not exactly easy to navigate... and none of the classes are documented, which I find quite strange, especially for a documentation tool.
Anyway, I think I know why I only get the warning sometimes. The parser treats all underscores as formatting markers. Thus, if it finds two of them in the same "block" of text, it splits them up. Since the code I tested on had category documentation, only the last one encountered in each "block" caused a warning... because all the others were treated as italics... and then ignored.
Also, it seems that I may be able to coerce it into skipping source-code blocks if they are marked as either...
#code
[self wjh_doSomething];
#endcode
or
```
[self wjh_doSomething];
```
or
~~~
[self wjh_doSomething];
~~~
The first is common in documentation blocks, the latter two in markdown.
It's a hack, but it seems to work. I sent a PR, which can be found here. Who knows if it will get accepted, but feel free to try it out yourself if you are so inclined.
I think I'll at least use it locally, as it cleans up a ton of warnings for me... and I may just go try to regenerate all my documented stuff to boot.
Edit
Well, I guess I should have gone and looked at the open PRs first. There seems to be a PR already sitting there that deals with the same issue, that has been there since May. It would have saved me time... but it was a little fun experimenting with it a bit ;-)
You may want to use that one... it seems to be simpler. Simpler is better, but I have not used that one and I'm not sure it completely ignores the blocks, but he seems to have quieted the warnings with his patch.
That one does not support #code/#endcode, which I'm glad to have.

Reference not found after switching from Debug to Release mode

I have a problem with several references in my VB.NET project.
For example I have this line of code:
Dim m As New Chilkat.Email
It comes from the library "ChilkatDotNet45.dll".
When I click on "References" and locate this dll, I can see that it has the settings "Use local copy" and "Do not include interop types".
When I switch to Release mode, the compiler tells me that "Chilkat.EMail" is not defined.
I have this problem with several DLLs, so it is not specific to Chilkat.
Can somebody tell me what I did wrong?
Thank you.
One of the standard approaches to solving any programming-related issue is trying to reduce the scope of the investigation. If you have a big project, in which something doesn't work, try to create a smaller project, and try to replicate desired functionality in it. Reduce as much as possible, down to a brand new project with maybe 5-10 lines of code in it.
If you were unable to solve your problem after making a reduced test case, now it's good time to post it on StackOverflow. I am usually reducing problems while writing a question on SO (not before, as one might think), constantly thinking "ok, is it minimized enough"; and this is how 90% of the questions never get posted - I often find a solution along the way of reducing my question to bare bones. :)
In your case, can you build a simplified project which has this problem and post a link here? We could then try switching Debug to Release on our machines and see if the we can reproduce. There are too many options to do the guesswork.

Why is my vs2012 forcing extra parentheses

First, thank you for taking pity on me and reading this issue. I CANNOT for the life of me figure out what extension I might have installed that is causing this issue, but it is EXTREMELY cumbersome.
Whenever I begin to type code (VB I think it also occurs in C#), for example "For Each" once I hit the F it forces a set of parentheses. Which would look like F(), but because I keep typing it looks like F(or). This only occurs when coding inside code blocks like a function or a sub, but when I'm creating the function it does not occur. I've disabled any and all power tools and the like, or at least I'm 90% sure I've done this for all of them, and yet it still occurs.
I'm usually pretty proficient at digging about the net and finding the answer, but for this one I'm at a loss. There is just too many keywords involved, so all I see is non-related topics, or how to make the parentheses occur, not get rid of them.
If anyone can provide some steps to resolve this, I'm happy and eager to try them. It's just such a hassle to live with for right now.
If you think it is a Visual Studio extension, then start by disabling all of them and adding them back one at a time.
You can also run VS with the command line switched to disable features.
Devenv switches
The simple answer to the cause is the Codealike VS Extension. I logged a bug with them and hopefully they'll fix it soon

Difference between (plain) Classworlds and Plexus Classworlds?

Can anyone please explain the difference between plexus-classworlds and (plain) classworlds?
These two are confusing and can't see the difference. Plexus classworlds contains almost no description. Apparently, a maven-based Java project uses both, I don't understand why.
Is it possible to replace classworlds with plexus-classworlds without much hassle?
I'm gonna answer that, even though the question is so old...
classworlds was migrated to plexus-classworlds, but the documentation on the site doesn't seem to keep up with that... the best docs I've seen was on classworlds 1.1-SNAPSHOT, although the current is plexus-classworlds 2.4.1-SNAPSHOT, and there is hardly any doc there.
if you look at plexus-classworlds, you can also see the original org.codehaus.classworlds package, with class comments like this:
A compatibility wrapper for org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher provided for legacy code
which means that they thought about migration, but of course nothing replaces a thorough test.
