Assignment 4: Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I am running into security errors in the NT Lab. What should I do?
A. Some errors may be caused because VB doesn't have full access to your network drive.
solution : Save you project locally and only transfer it to your network drive when you are done.
Some people are running into errors when they try to debug using the C++ debugger on the VB interpreter, do not
try and get administrator privilleges from eecs staff on your account
as accessing the C++ debugger is unlikely to be worth the effort.
solution : Debug manually.
Q. I am using VB.NET and I can't find my *.frm or *.bas file
A. Open your *.vb file in a text editor and print it out
Q. Do we HAVE to do our projects using visual basic?
A.
No you don't have to, can use any reasonable prototyping language
(something that you can change fairly easily, not C++).
Q. I need the proper permissions to debug VB in the windows labs
A.
I don't have the privileges to change either the class or anyone's permissions in the windows lab. I will look into why people are having
problems and post my response here. For more immediate solutions, see George Preeble or eecs support staff.
Answered above
Q. Should we discuss the differences between each group members' orig. design and the implimentation, OR should we discuss the differences between our combined design and the implimentation
A.
Show us any differences between whichever corrected design you both had before you started implimentation. If your combined design was the corrected one, then it is the one you should
compare with the implementation. The same is true if you chose one individuals
design corrected it and decided to implement it.
