NO I don't need this
I got your answer very clearly.
I am not an expert in .Net, I moved to it having in mind that it had every thing. I mean by every thing that it has collected all the technique in other languages.
I asked many question in msdn forum, most of them the answer was no.
can that be done:
dim x as myclass
x.Find("customers", <-- after this the intellisinse get list of all fields from sql server so I can list them. The answer was NO
Can I have multiple copy of vs2010 where each one start with it is own setting such as syntax color and loading of extension. the answer was NO
Can I list the local variable inside the function/sub i am currently working in, the answer is NO
These question is not for you or any one to answer, i am just telling you that in my mind I had overdose of expectation about .net, now, I will say ".Net is very powerful, but you should know it is limitation" so that i am asking this kind of question.
I hope you did not get bored with my second long answer, and thank you for you second explanation which I got it 100%
Cheers

some thoughts:
.NET and it's tooling is a programming environment like many others. If you want to use it's power, you have to use it in the right problem domain. .NET has a huge "problem domain" it can be applied to. You can write Web/Desktop/Mobile/Database-Apps with one Framework. You can use different languages, etc.
You shure don't get "every thing" from it, but i think it's very much compared to other frameworks.
What you have to know is the same for every kind of programming - How you solve your problems with it.
As an example - for all the problems you mentioned there maybe is an solution.
* You can implement your own intellisense behavior, but magic is impossible...
* An VisualStudio-AddIn would do - all IDE settings live in one file (you can export them...) - Shure you need for using AddIn...
* The intellisense lists all local variables you have defined... ? If you use the rigth naming conventions you can tell which are the "global" ones.
What I want to say is: Create some projects, look how others solved common programming problems in .Net - and learn from it. If you are smart in solving problems, you will always find your solution. If you wan't to change the IDE to your needs, do it - if you don't like it- make your own. (easier than it sounds!) - .NET clearly gives you the power.
You will always find limitations in a technology - but .NET is so complete,open and clear - you can bend it to your will!

Hi again
johannesnestler wrote: * You can implement your own intellisense behavior, but magic is impossible...
That mean, creating my own plug-in VSIX, and use it. And that is not an easy task which I will never do since I can live without it. I prefer wasting my time on something new for my project to the customer that earn me money. I thought such thing can be done in 5 min.
using Enum? Very very very bad idea. so, No answer
johannesnestler wrote: * An VisualStudio-AddIn would do - all IDE settings live in one file (you can export them...)
That work for loading the syntax color and setting the programming language environment, but not for choosing which extension to be loaded where most extensions require to restart VS. Once again I thought that is easy to do by few clicking.
johannesnestler wrote: * The intellisense lists all local variables you have defined... ? If you use the rigth naming conventions you can tell which are the "global" ones
I got the same answer from msdn, that is not an answer more than workaround. Once I get advised not to use naming convention since the .net environment is smart enough to tell where is the error when assigning wrong type to a variable. And now I had to use to solve my simple question which I thought it is (BY DEFAULT) should be there.
I had to change what is in my thoughts

I consider the above as an answer to all my questions. .Net gives you the power to any thing, but do it your self.
Nice talking to you

No, the pointer is not to a variable, but to a memory location. At runtime, variable names don't exist.

Hello Dave

Thanks, I got it now. although it still a bit fuzzy of how other language can do it.
"Understanding" is always hard part of being a programmer

... of how other language can do it:
1. Pre-processor = textual replacement in the code file before(!) compiling
2. Interpreted languages - reading your code...
...
Compiled to native processor instructions: No variable names, or logic depending on it ...

But if you were a C dinosaur, you could write
#define log(x) fprintf(stderr, "#x = %g\n", x);

which I used to do quite a lot.
the C pre-processor was a powerful tool, and at least one CP member is using it even on C# code!

You rang?
It's just a text processor; you can use it with pretty much any text file.

PIEBALDconsult wrote: It's just a text processor; you can use it with pretty much any text file.
I beg to differ.
IMO it only works rather well for you because C# and C/C++ are sufficiently related syntax-wise. The pre-processor has to understand where it should and shouldn't try and apply define and macro substitutions; it should not modify stuff inside comments and string literals, so it knows about /* and // comments, and it knows "abcd" and "ab\"cd" are untouchable. If (horresco referens) you feed it VB source code, you won't like the outcome.

I have a Shockwave Flash Object (named webFlash) in my form. I'm trying to use StretchBlt to magnify the object. Ideally I would like to push a button and have it replace the Flash Object on my form with the magnified version.
Any help would be appreciated, even just documentation on how to use StrechBlt because I can't find anything on it. Thank you.
The code below I found browsing the web. It was originally for a mouse cursor, but I'm trying to adapt it.
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (ByRef lPointCoordinateoint As PointAPI) As Integer
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lplWindowName As String) As Integer

Private Declare Function GetDC Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Function StretchBlt Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Integer, ByVal X As Integer, ByVal Y As Integer, ByVal nWidth As Integer, ByVal nHeight As Integer, ByVal hSrcDC As Integer, ByVal xSrc As Integer, ByVal ySrc As Integer, ByVal nSrcWidth As Integer, ByVal nSrcHeight As Integer, ByVal dwRop As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Integer

hi
I am beginner in programming Visual Basic and i use the visual studio 2010 ultimate
Almost finished my simple program
__________________________________________
just two button's left was
How to make a button that will copy two files and put them somewhere else
I have the two files in the
C:\Program Files\Imust
One. Dll and the second. Exe
I want a button to copy the files and places them in
C:\WINDOWS\system32
How?
_________________________________________
and the other button
system.diagnostics.process.start (C:\Program Files\Imust\392.exe)
is there's anyway to run 392.exe without path ?
_________________________________________
is there any list of usefull code's ?
______________________________________
thank

You need to spend some more time learning the language and how there is no direct relationship between a button and a copy action.
It's time for a new signature.

Arg so many things wrong here.
First of all under vista / windows 7 the c:\windows\system32 map is protected and your program shouldn't be trying to copy anything in there (least of all a dll and a exe)
Second as Richard said a button has no relation to a copy (there is no such thing as a copy button)
A button has a click event in which you write code (code that can then copy your files).
(for that look at the system.IO.File namespace)
Third, you should never use absolute path's in your program, either use predefined paths such as the users temp directory or use a setting file where you store these path's.
As a last let me give you some pointers as how to ask a question here.
Don't just ask for code, show us what you have done, tell us what the code is supposed to do and what it is actually doing.
If there are any errors post them (but you'll have to write code before you can get any errors of course)

I'll second that... I'd go one step further and say no matter what OS, or version thereof, files should not be copied to the folder where system files reside. Just a bad practice IMHO.

Ok, poor beginner:
* As others mentioned your style of asking questions here is not good (see what Tom Deketelaere has written).
* Learn your language (VB.Net)!
* A "button to copy files" is user-view, you are a programmer now, so you won't find any "function-buttons" in your framework.
So after that said I'll try to help you anyway (at least in concept, try to find out how to write the code yourself!):
1. Check your requirements, as other said, file copy to this specific folders can be a security problem.
2. Add a Click handler to your copy button, then have a look to VisualStudio-Help (heard about it?) and
search for File.Copy method. Use it like in the example given in the VisualStudio-Help.
3. Move your hardcoded paths to settings or configuration file
@ exe without path - what you mean by that? Maybe you mean to add the execution path of your 392.exe (C:\Program Files\Imust\) to the environment variables (PATH) of your system?
Don't worry everyone started somehow, but my opinion is: first try to figure it out for yourself, then ask questions. With the internet, the rich framworks and documentations this is so easy today...

will thanks to all
ok first iam using win xp
iam going to use this program for my own
the reason iam making this program to make it easy to setup and install all needed .exe and dll. to play with joystick
this is the program
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/3469/iplayp.jpg[^]
it has 4 button
install: install libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe to make the ps3 sixaxies work with windows xp
copy : to copy 2 files libusb0.dll and ps3sixaxis_en to C:\WINDOWS\system32 (to run ps3sixaxis_en when need to play with joystick)
Xpadder : is program to configure the needed button in the joystick (not mine)
exit : simple exit the program
the code i made is
_______________________________
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If Dir("C:\WINDOWS\system32\ps3sixaxis_en.exe") <> "" Then
MsgBox("installed successfully")
Else
MsgBox("File was not copied")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Iplay\xpadder.exe")
End Sub
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
End
End Sub
Private Sub Process1_Exited(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
Private Sub Label1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Iplay\libusb-Win32 Setup.exe")
End Sub
End Class
_________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________
and the i used path
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Iplay\libusb-Win32 Setup.exe")
because i made setup installer to install (Xpadder and ps3sixaxis_en.exe and libusb0.dll & libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1.exe ) to C:\Program Files\Iplay
when i said button that copy 2 file
(i meant the code it self) if there anyway that copy 2 files to C:\WINDOWS\system32
how you want me to wright a code while i dont know anything about the copy thing
(i started learning vb2010 2 day's ago)
thanks for the help

First, always try Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=copy+files+in+vb&hl=en
The first result of that search being: http://www.control.com/thread/1026222696
In which someone says "See the FileCopy method in VB.
The syntax is:
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile".
Then, if that's not enough for you, back to Google:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=vb+FileCopy
which brings us to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36xbexyf(v=VS.90).aspx
and if that's not enough for you then you probably shouldn't be using the internet.
Remember, always try Google.
