Problem in project time tracker

greenbriar · February 23rd, 2009, 01:50 AM

I downloaded and unzipped the Project Time Tracker software.

I entered the subLoaad projects software listed on pages 109 and 110 of "Beginning Visaul Basic 2005 Databases.

After the software entry, I noticed an error indicator (wavy blue line) under the term "ExceptionIErr.Message". I ran the program and the message box informed me there were compile errors. The compiled error message box said "ExceptionErr not declared."

how do I correct this?

Do I include import statements at the start of the class?

Hi greenbriar,
I don't own the book so forgive me if I am looking in the wrong place, but I assume you are looking at Sub LoadProjects in Admin.vb in Chapter 6 or 7?

Code:

Private Sub LoadProjects()
    'Declare variables
    Dim objListViewItem As ListViewItem

    'Initialize a new instance of the data access base class
    Using objData As New WDABase
        Try
            ' ... Project load code ...
        Catch ExceptionErr As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ExceptionErr.Message, strAppTitle)
        End Try
    End Using

    'Cleanup
    objListViewItem = Nothing

End Sub

The code download says that ExceptionErr is the name given to the exception variable in the Try...Catch block, so it looks like you've just got a typo in your code - I did notice in your post you called it ExceptionIErr, so it may just be the extra "I" which needs to be removed.
If not, please post your complete LoadProjects method so we can take a proper look.

Hi Phillip;

Tnx for the quick reply. I went back and checked the program and found that there was an error in the "Catch" line preceding the MessageBox line. Corrected the spelling and everything worked as it was supposed to.

I concentrated on the MessageBox line not realizing that the term "ExceptionErr" appeared in another line in the program.
