Code created with Visual Basic not working on Vb.net

When I use these two bits of code that were created in Visual basic 2010, they work fine. When I try to create the same thing in Visual studio VB.net, most of it is unrecognized.

I'm Imported Visual basic and forms, but it seems that some parts do not work.

What am I missing, or can the code even be used between the two.

thanks

'End If
        Dim file As String = folder.ToString
        If ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            Dim lv1 As ListViewItem = ListView1.SelectedItems(0)
            Dim filename As String = file & "\" & lv1.Text

            Dim msg As MapiMessage = MapiMessage.FromFile(filename)
            txtFrom.Text = msg.SenderName
            txtSenderAddress.Text = msg.SenderEmailAddress
            txtSubject.Text = msg.Subject
            txtCC.Text = msg.DisplayCc
            txtBody.Text = msg.Body
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnOutlook_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOutlook.Click
        Dim folder As String = CStr(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Tag)
        Dim file As String = folder.ToString
        If ListView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            Dim lvO As ListViewItem = ListView1.SelectedItems(0)
            Dim filename As String = file & "\" & lvO.Text
            Dim msg As MapiMessage = MapiMessage.FromFile(filename)
            Process.Start(Path.Combine("outlook.exe", filename))
        End If
    End Sub

which part is not recognized? what is the other version of VB.net you are trying to copy your code to? have you added a reference to MapiMessage (check your VS2010 project to see what DLL it is)?

Well, in Vb.net 2008, under listview, it doesn't recognize 'selecteditems' just items. Also, the process.start(combine.path()) doesn't work, where Visual Basic it works fine.

Mapimessage does work, as both can use and recognize the Aspose network DLL. I am able to programatically load one message into text boxes, but I can't get the listview to work properly,so I can't scroll through messages.

OK, so I used Visual Basic Express 2010 to make the original content that works fine, but then i wanted to use the same thing with Visual Studio 2008 to combine all of my little programs into one big one, to be used on our intranet.

I am pretty novice, third week programming :) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

for Path, add "Imports System.IO" at the top of your form.

I already have it there. That's what's bugging me.

Éric Moreau

SelectedItems should be recognized. Are you sure ListView1 exist and is a listview control?

Éric Moreau

this line is not valid (surely not work in VS2010):

Process.Start(Path.Combine("outlook.exe", filename))

Should be only:
Process.Start("outlook.exe", filename)

OK, here is the one problem i'm having that I remember. Under the components, I have a listview for UI.webcontrols, and one for windows forms. If I uncheck the UI.Webcontrols, I can't see a listview at all. How do I tell the system to use the listview for Forms?

I thjink that is the proble, correct?

Éric Moreau

is your VS2010 a Windows or web project? it really looks like a Windows project. All the methods are not available for web controls.

also are you aware that Process.Start will start the process (outlook) on your server?

ASKER

No the VS is a web project.

I did not know this. How can I start outlook locally and open that file. Is that even possible with a web project? On teh visual basic program, it opens outlook locally, it has to, outlook isn't even on the server.

I know I closed this, but here is my code transferred over to VS, thanks to you, I got the listview working but....

Imports System.IO
Imports Aspose.Network.Outlook
Imports mscomctl

Partial Class EmailFinder
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim listview1 As Windows.Forms.ListView
        Dim treeview1 As Windows.Forms.TreeView
        Dim treenode As Windows.Forms.TreeNode
        Dim FolderPath As String = "c:\jobs\emails"
        Dim view As Windows.Forms.ListViewItem
        Dim Tnode As Windows.Forms.TreeNode = treeview1.Nodes.Add("(Drive c:)")
        'AddAllFolders(Tnode, "c:\jobs\emails")
        AddAllFolders(Tnode, FolderPath)

        listview1.View = Windows.Forms.View.Details
        listview1.Columns.Add("filename", 150, Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left)
        listview1.Columns.Add("Date", 150, Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left)
    End Sub
    Private Sub AddAllFolders(ByVal Tnode As TreeNode, ByVal FolderPath As String)

        Try
            For Each FolderNode As String In Directory.GetDirectories(FolderPath)
                Dim SubFolderNode As TreeNode = Tnode.Nodes.Add(FolderNode.Substring(FolderNode.LastIndexOf("\"c) + 1))

                SubFolderNode.Tag = FolderNode

                SubFolderNode.Nodes.Add("Loading...")
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
        End Try

    End Sub
End Class

Open in new window

Now, it doesn't recognize the Nodes, actually it tells me it can't be a UI.Web.control, but as you can see, I dim'd it a form. What am I doing wrong here. (BTW, this will load the msg files, and then I'll use the process.start)

thanks.

Éric Moreau

I can't help you much since you are now in a web project. also a web project should never have references to Windows Forms controls (windows.forms.view.details, Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment, Windows.Forms.TreeNode, Windows.Forms.ListView, ...)

OK, thanks.
