First Blog Post...........

So many weird things happen at work with the VB.net projects I work on, that I thought it would be a good idea to post up some of the obscure problems I run into and their solutions. This way others can find them and solve them. I ran into 2 today.

Vb.net Error:
Unable to build dialog module named XXX

I got a whole bunch of these errors today when I went to rebuild a project. It turned out that my picture was missing.(the one I made for the setup screen)

Solution: Click on the deployment project and then choose the user interface menu. Click on the suspect menu (Start, Installation folder, etc..) and view properties. Under the BannerBitmap property, change it to none for now and rebuild. This solved my problem. I went back after I confirmed this was the problem and added the picture back in and re-assigned the new picture to the BannerBitmap properties. Everything works well now.


Vb.net Error:
could not load a type. Failed to partial bind xxx
This error comes at a weird point in my program if I do something 3 times in a row. After a little Google search, I've found out that this is caused when some appliaction path is updated. I reinstalled a new version of my program over an old one. That may be the problem.

Solution: Simply reboot the machine and this error goes away.
