I wish to have two EXE files in my project. Say one EXE has startup form ABC.vb
and other is BCA.vb
I am not able to change the name in Build so whatever is my startup file, my exe file's name remains the same. How to change it?
A project builds to one assembly, no matter what.
What you need to do is add another project to your solution. You can do this by right clicking in the tree, and going to New... Project. Then, drag your code that you want to build separately into this new project.
After this, when you build, you will get two EXEs, or whatever the project is set to.

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.
I have recently finished building a mini-app using IntelliJ IDEA in javaFx. It is my first time using this ide and language, so I am having difficulties manufacturing an exe file. I watched all sorts of youtube videos and different methods.
It does generate an exe file but when I click it, nothing happens.
Any idea?
I do know that with IntelliJ Ultimate edition you can build down with an EXE file.
There are a couple things you need to double check.
First, is that in your project structure under artifacts, you have the "Type:" set to JavaFx Application(which is on the top right of the window).
Secondly, switch to the Java FX tab and make sure Application class is set to your main class.
Thirdly, Select "all" under Native bundle: which is located towards the bottom of the window.
Lastly, Select the Output Layout tab and move all your available elements to output root then click on the module of your application and look at the settings that appear at the bottom. "Make sure that main class setting is in fact the main class to your application.
Side note: make sure you delete your artifacts build folder just to start from a clean slate. Also make sure your Environment variables are set to the system path correctly.
I have enabled MvcBuildViews task in my project file and I have found it finds and tries to build views that aren't in the project.
These views were totally out of date but not knowing whether to delete them or not from source I opted to relocate them (until I can find out) to a new folder called 'Obsolete'.
After relocating the view I try and build the project and it still somehow finds these views in the 'Obsolete' folder now.
How can I instruct the MvcBuildViews task to only compile views found in their usual search location and not everywhere in the project directory?
So after doing some more hunting I find that the MvcBuildViews uses the aspnet_compiler.exe under the hood. It appears the only solution if I want to hand pick the locations is to point it at the specific folders themselves. My other option is to move the views outside of the project.

I break my code modules up in DLLs alot.
When I add one of those DLLs to my project, how can I browse it's code to set breakpoints?
If you created the DLL, add the DLL's Project to your solution. You can do this by right clicking on the Solution at the top of Solution Explorer and clicking Add... > Existing Project
One solution can contain many projects. You set your executable as the startup project. You can then use Solution Explorer to find the Code in the Modules and do what you like, set breakpoints, make changes, etc.
Make sure the DLL is in your solution (assuming you use visual studio) AND is referenced by the process you are trying to debug. Then the execution should come by your breakpoints. IF NOT, you will notice the dot of the breakpoint is an empty circle.
We have a VB project that loads a reference to a .Net dll (which we also make). Both projects are being simultaneously developed.
When we add new classes to the referenced dll, the main project normally fails to notice the changes.
That is, if we added a new class Bar to the Foo dll, we should be able to type "Foo." and have Bar listed in the intellisense dropdown. It's never there.
Removing the reference and then adding it back in again sometimes fixes the problem. Sometimes we have been able to just manually type Bar in and then rebuild without errors.
It seems to me that there should be some way to tell Visual Studio to reload the referenced project because it has changed. Actually, I think VS should notice the change itself, but failing that, we need a simple way to force a reload.
Any suggestions?
Edit: It is VS2005 and we are referencing output assemblies (the dll)
I had this problem once. Put both projects into a single solution. Right-click on the Solution in the Solution Explorer, and set the build order. Make the main project dependent on the .DLL. Now, when you rebuild the solution, the .DLL gets built first, and the main project will see all the changes.
EDIT: Also, reference the .DLL as a Project instead of selecting Browse when choosing a reference. Then, the changes should be immediately recognized by the main project without rebuilding.
