visual basic errors from MS sample
Hi,
It's been quite a while since I worked with Visual Basic, and so I'm running into errors just trying to build a simple MS application using these instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/74861
I created the project as a Windows Forms Application.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 on Win 7. I have admin privileges.
It's been quite a while since I worked with Visual Basic, and so I'm running into errors just trying to build a simple MS application using these instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/74861
I created the project as a Windows Forms Application.
Sub Form_Load ()
'This procedure will start the VB source application.
z% = Shell("SOURCE", 1)
z% = DoEvents() 'Causes Windows to finish processing Shell command.
Text1.LinkMode = NONE 'Clears DDE link if it already exists.
Text1.LinkTopic = "Source|Form1" 'Sets up link with VB source.
Text1.LinkItem = "Text1" 'Set link to text box on source.
Text1.LinkMode = MANUAL 'Establish a manual DDE link.
ManualLink.Value = TRUE 'Sets appropriate option button.
End Sub
Other than my form being called Form1, I didn't change anything. However, I already get these errors:Error 1 'z' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level. D:\Development\VB\MyDDE-VBtest\MyDDE-VBtest\Form1.vb 16 9 MyDDE-VBtest
Error 2 'z' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level. D:\Development\VB\MyDDE-VBtest\MyDDE-VBtest\Form1.vb 18 9 MyDDE-VBtest

Error 8 'Value' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton'. D:\Development\VB\MyDDE-VBtest\MyDDE-VBtest\Form1.vb 25 9 MyDDE-VBtest
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Is there a secret to building sample code from MS? Unfortunately the article doesn't say anything about any additional references or libraries or anything that I need to add.How do I fix this?
Thanks!
