I'm using VB.NET in VS2008 professional. Just installed Coderush Xpress 11.2.10. Code formatting and intellasist doesn't work.
I tried Edit->Advanced->Format Document but VS keeps formatting in its standard VB way without coderush configuration.
Intellasist never shows nothing. Even with intellisense deactivated in VS.
Can somebody help me? Thanks.
I regret to inform you that neither Intellassist nor Code Formatting for Visual Basic is available in the free CodeRush Xpress version.

Its probably right under my nose, but for the life of me I couldnt find anything helpful concerning this: In Visual Studio 2019 I can find and use the .bounds property of a PictureBox. In Visual Studio 2022 its just not there. Only the .setBounds method shows up, but thats not helpful.
My question is simple: What is the reason that i cant find it?
Does it have sth to do with
A newer .NET Version
Upgrade from VS2019 to VS2022
Deprecated for some reason
Or am I just stupid/blind...
And if Im NOT stupid/blind; do I have to manually work around "PictureBox.Bounds.IntersectsWith" if - for example - I want to check for some border collision?
Despite the probable global facepalming it would be much appreciated If someone could answer this;)
I am afraid this is an untypical "unspecific" question...
I have a lot of code in Outlook, and this should also be used by other users. Up to now I am exporting the modules and forms from my Outlook, and import them on the other machines. But this of course is quite a hassle on every change.
So I thought about turning them into an adding - easy to do for example for Excel...
I have done some Research now and the following questions are left:
is it right that the only software really useful is Visual Studio?
i did download the Trial Version of Visual Studio, and digged into it... but it seems I can not copy/paste the existing code, but there are a lot of changes necessary in the code - is that right? Is there a Kind of "translation" for the most common things?
Thanks for your answers,
Max
Not sure if by trial version you mean Visual Studio Express which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2013-express
In any case this should allow you to copy/paste your code. Also if you are a student/academic you can download the full version for free (https://www.dreamspark.com).
If you don't want to use VS, you could try SharpDevelop and NetOffice as an alternative.
I wrote a series on my blog about how to create an add-in for Outlook. There are quite specific instructions on how to get started, pitfalls I encountered along the way and tips/tricks to help you.
Here is where the series starts: http://www.midniteblog.com/?p=6. You can see all the links for the series here: http://www.midniteblog.com/?s=outlook.
Hope this is helpful for you!
P.S. You definitely want to use Visual Studio for a project like this because of the nature of Microsoft product integration.
My work dropped a vb.net program in my lap that I need to modify. Die vb. Die.
Anyway, I work in Netbeans and can't find a module that will allow for syntax highlighting of vb. Is there a creative solution out there for this that doesn't involve using a different IDE?
Thanks guys.
As mentioned in the accepted answer to this question, there is a tutorial for setting up custom syntax highlighting in Netbeans here (direct link to tutorial instead of link to FAQ provided in linked question).
I think you might well find that it's less hassle to just install Visual Studio than to set up Netbeans to highlight VB.Net syntax, but that's up to you. Good luck.
Is one able to compile VB 6 code in Visual Studio.NET ? In other words, is it backwards compatible with older VB code?
Since I know there is a difference between managed code (.NET) and unmanaged code, I am wondering if Visual Studio.NET is able to compile unmanaged code as well?
Kind regards,
Kris
While you cannot compile vb6 in the .net Visual Studios, you may use interop libraries to allow vb.6 to utilize managed code

No, you can't compile VB6 code in any VS.NET version.
You can open a VB6 .vbp project file in Visual Studio. This automatically invokes the project converter, it will try to translate your VB6 code into VB.NET. The translator does a fairly decent job of it but the VB.NET language has changed pretty drastically. It depends on how 'clean' your VB6 code was.
After the conversion is completed, you'll have to walk through the list of warnings and errors you'll get. Getting none at all is rare. There might be hundreds or thousands. If you're in that boat, it starts making sense to rewrite the code.
Anyhoo, just try and see what hits the fan. You'll have a good idea what you're in for in about ten minutes. Don't forget to copy the project before you start the conversion.
No it is not compatible. I think there is an upgrade wizard, but you will end up fixing some stuff manually.
I've just installed CodeGear Studio 2009 and I didn`t find where I can put the Intellisense and code hints on.
And, by the way, in Visual Studio we can indent selected blocks of code in the same way. How can I use similar functions in CodeGear?
Any ideas about that?
It's called Code Insight. I don't have 2009 yet but it's probably in the same place as 2007. Have a look in Tools > Options > Editor Options > Code Insight.
By the way, it's no where near as good as Intellisense in VS.
The generic name is called "code completing", intellisense and insight are just catching marketing spun names companies use.
even after I`ve relaunched it with all points of CodeInsight turned on I found out that there was no result((
