My.Application gone

Greg McGuffey — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 21:43:39 GMT

I am in the process of reorganizing the application I've been working on, breaking it into multiple assemblies, changing the namespaces, etc. (The app was getting unwieldy, as I didn't know enough initially to organize it). This is a SF app w/security.

In any case, my main app (the win app with sub main), which is a windows application, calls to My.Application are all failing. The error is that "Application is not a member of My". When I type "My.", intellisense only shows Resources. :pinch:

Any ideas of what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks!

I figured it would....it sounded to me like your project was "jacked" :D Glad you got it going!

Adding a new project and copying the code over worked :D Thanks!

:P

Well, since you're still alive and able to laugh, I'll take hope in that and soldier on! :w00t:

so...

rename the current project
add a new one with correct name
see if my.application (etc) exist
if yes...move files and delete old project
if no...:crying:

I'll try that.

Hmmm....well, this indicates that there is a fundamental project setup issue here. Have you tried to create a new project and see if that project contains the My.* references. This might be your safest (and quickest) road back to a working My.* reference.

I have My.Resources only.

Would you need the entire solution or just the one project? I might be able to send the single project, as it has very little code in it (relative to the entire solution).

[quote]That many ways to fubar a project, huh? [/quote]

Pretty much :D

In regards to your project, do you have any of the other "My" references such as My.Computer? Without getting hands on I am not sure I can give you a very good answer here....sorry :ermm:

That many ways to fubar a project, huh? :Whistling:

This is the startup project for the solution, it is a win form project. My.Application is being accessed from within the app it refers to (i.e. My.Application calls are in RAMS project and referencing the RAMS project).

The structure is:

- Solution is RAMS
- startup project is RAMS (win forms app) (referencing My.Application here)
- BO library
- security library
- base library (common code, like headers, custom controls, shared classes, etc)
- couple of "module" (i.e. a module of my specific application, in a business sense, not a VB module) libraries

This is kind of liking asking "how long is a string" :) Which project are you trying to access teh My.Application from? Is it the Application or Class Library?

Thanks for the reply Trent. It's probably out of the question to send you the app (NDA would be required, yada yada :( )

Could you let me know some things to try/look for?

Thanks!

Greg,

You are smart to start separating your code into multiple projects. This makes that development, deployment, and managability of your application much easier. I have seen the My.APplication disappear before but the cause is generally from moving code from an application to a class library....but not always.

I would have to actually get my hands on teh project to give you a definitive answer. One thing is certain though...pretty much everything given through the My.Application reference can be retrieved a different way.
