Importing existing vb.net into advanced hmi

[Joe Matkowski]

I have an OEM customer that has a custom one off app written by another integrator that does not work very well. I have the source code for the existing hmi that runs on a custom OPC server which I do not have source code. I was trying to import the old HMI into advancedHMI in order to use the Modbus TCP driver however I get nothing but errors. Anyway I can bring all of the existing project and not break all of the links??

Start with right-clicking the AdvancedHMI project in Solution Explorer and selecting properties.

Select the References Tab
Select Add Reference and look for  System.Data.OracleClient

Do the same for System.Data.SqlServerCe

Thanks for the help that cleared up the server db issues now all I have to fix is all of the errors created by the controls from the original integrator.

Error   65   'Controls' is not a member of 'MfgControl.AdvancedHMI.frmPointViewer'.   C:\Users\Jody\Desktop\AdvancedHMIBetaV397c\AdvancedHMI\frmPointViewer.vb   492   5   AdvancedHMI

[Archie]

What is the line of code in frmPointViewer.vb at line 492?

[Joe Matkowski]

Me.Controls.Add(Me.lblValue_1)

[Archie]

That must be code from a 2005 or 2008 version before it did partial classes. At the top of the code do you see a line of code similar to this:

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form


Also is there a line of code at the top like this:

Class frmPointViewer

[Joe Matkowski]

there are no inherits at the top that I can find in any of the code pointing to  " System.Windows.Forms.Form" I copied a the first line in the code that notes anything .Windows.forms. there is a line like the second line in my paste for every label in there app

<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
    Me.lblValue_0 = New System.Windows.Forms.Label
 

[Joe Matkowski]

maybe I should generate a class for each type that is not defined? Thanks again

JOdy

[Archie]

The Controls is a collection that is part of the System.Windows.Forms.Form class. The line of code me.Controls.Add is what actuall adds the item to the form so it gets displayed. The error says that Controls doesn't exist, so the System.Windows.Forms.Form is not inherited.

Before Partial Classes were created, all of this code was part of the forms class definition. After Partial classes were added, the code generated by Visual Studio now resides in it's own file. The file name would be frmPointViewer.designer.vb. These files are typically not visible in Solution Explorer unless you click the icon for Show All Files.

In the original VB project were there any designer files?

[Joe Matkowski]

Let me go look...

jdm

[Joe Matkowski]

there are some .resx and a couple .design.vb files but they are copied into my new application. 

[Archie]

When you add existing forms to an application, be sure to only select the .vb file, not the designer file. Visual Studio will automatically pull in the designer file and create the appropriate links.

[Joe Matkowski]

ok thanks i'm gonna start over and see what hapens

jdm
