Hi.
rick.
now, yes, uses the sql server 2008, and i think, sql server 2008 did
not
like some of the sql databases that i got off the net, for the book,
off
the
cd i was provided, and yep, need to use sql server 2005, and vb.dot net
2005.
and got a lot of my in class exercises on cd, so can copy them back
over.
the main problem, is that i do not have a spare 100 hours to redo all
the
chapters, and the examples and the case studies and the exericses you
wer
ehelping me with, unless, i go in and save the code modules and the
documents then i could then rebuild all the examples, and the
exericses
and
the case studies, just rebuild the interfaces.
then just copy and paste the code back in, so that would be a quicker
way
to
go about that.
so what would you recommend this course of action?
should i go down that route, uninstall vs 2008, and then install the
2005
and what do you recommend.
if i did it this way, would short cut a lot of time and effort, and
quickly
able to rebuild the applications for the chapters in the book, the
examples,
exercises and case studies.
okay, if you recommend that route, then suggest that to me.
my lecturer is using 2005, and the book is using 2005, the only reason
why
i
got 2008, was that i did not have internet access, and a adaptive tech
person, who sold me jaws in tasmania, burned a copy of vs 2008 in the
first
place, even though i did request 2005.
oh well, lessons learned.
okay let me know.
what i should do and proceed from here onwards.
cheers Marvin.

Hi Inthane:
If that's the case he has a problem. My guess he will have to remove
the
2008 modules, and then load up some version of 2005. I remember he also
was
messing with the DataBases so that might be problematic as well
depending
on
which version he ended up using. The last thing I can think of is that
he
uses Access DataBases instead of the Sql Server DataBases as defined in
his
Projects and that might cause problems for his Instructor as well if he
is
not familiar with their setup and use. My guess the only way he is
going
to
get it working is to work directly with his Instructor to match up the
versions of everything if he is to just send him a Project to load up
and
review per the original Course and Project requirements. I don't think
I
have any answers except to find out what his Instructor recommends.
Sounds
like he will have to uninstall everything 2008 including the DataBase
systems. Then install everything that came with the original course and
ReWrite his applications using the correct languages and DataBases if
he
wants to be in sync with the rest of the class. Other than that I
wouldn't
recommend doing all that removing and ReInstallation as it might cause
some
real headaches if not done in the correct order.

I think, if I have it straight, that his instructor is using VB 2005,
and
can't open the files he is making in 2008, backwards compatibility is
alright in general with MS, but the reverse usually doesn't work, and I
do
not believe MS has made anything akin to the "MSO Viewers" that enable
folks to open and save a newer version of say a word document in an
older
format so someone with the older office versions can use it.

the elf

Marv:
Before you attempt Downloading 2005 over 2008. What was the explicit
problem you could not resolve in 2008?
Were you having the problem in VWD or in Vb.net Winforms?
What statement was giving you the error which your instructor said
was
due to the language version problem?
I really do not think the language version would cause you any
problems
unless you are copying and pasting code into a config file. So, tell
me
what statement is not working so I can check it out.

Then he is doing something really weird. The fact is I have moved
lots
of
programs over from things I have ben playing with now that I have
2008
and
nothing has had problems.

HI.
well, the in class exercises and examples, are the lecturers, and
had a
look
on the hard disk and on the cd.
well, that is what he says.
and think will only work in 2005.
cheers Marvin.

Your instructor is a fool. They should work fine in 2008. There
is
not
that big a language wise in VB .net 2005 and 2008. The errors your
having
are most likely typing errors.

Hi.
got a whole heap of examples, for my programming class, exercises,a
nd
did
them in vb dot net 2005.
but converted them to all vb dot net 2008, but some of them are not
working
and got errors.
did e-mail my lecturer, and he says, that the book they are using in
class
is for vb dot net 2005, and i am using 2008.
so, where can i download vb dot net 2005 express, and also is there
a
conversion utility to convert from vb.dot net 2008 to 2005, as a
whole
of a
lot of exercises i did for the chapter book examples and some of the
exercises and case studies, in vb dot net 2008, and do not have time
to
go
and recreate them in vb dot net 2005, if i can get my hands on a
copy?
have tried searching on google, and went to the msdn site, but tried
looking, but cannot find any thing at all.
got any ideas?
cheers Marvin.
