DOCUMENT:Q191791 11-JAN-2001 [vbwin] TITLE :INFO: VB 6.0 Readme Part 14: Visual Component Manager PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbreadme kbRegistry kbVBp kbVBp600 kbVS600 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning Edition for Windows, version 6.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 6.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The information below includes the documentation and workarounds for Visual Basic 6.0. This information can also be found in the README.htm file that ships with Visual Basic 6.0 on the Visual Basic 6.0 CD-ROM. Please see the REFERENCES section of this article for a list of the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles relating to the Visual Basic 6.0 readme. Following is a list of all parts of the readme file: Part 1. Important Issues - Please Read First! Part 2. Data Access Issues and DataBinding Tips Part 3. Control Issues Part 4. Language Issues Part 5. Samples Issues Part 6. Wizard Issues Part 7. Error Message Issues Part 8. WebClass Designer Issues Part 9. DHTML Page Designer Issues Part 10. Extensibility issues Part 11. Miscellaneous Issues Part 12. Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) Issues Part 13. Dictionary Object Part 14. Visual Component Manager Part 15. Application Performance Manager MORE INFORMATION ================ Known Problems in Visual Component Manager: Related Files Tab (Component Properties Dialog Box)" Topic Incorrect -------------------------------------------------------------------- Visual Component Manager User Interface Reference: The topic "Related Files Tab (Component Properties Dialog Box)" incorrectly states that the tab is used to display and enter files that are related to the selected component. In fact, none of the information displayed on this tab can be modified. You can add related files to a component only when publishing or re-publishing the component. For more information, search online, with Search titles only selected, for "Publishing Components" in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0 documentation. Removing Repository 1.0 Registry Keys ------------------------------------- If you installed VCM 5.0 (previously available for Web download) you will have the following Windows Registry keys setup. They were necessary for VCM 5.0 and the 1.0 version of the Repository. If you find the following Registry entries then it is safe to remove them and may, in fact, improve VCM 6.0 performance: - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheMaxAnnProps - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheMaxObjects - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\ CacheRelshipMaxCollections - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\CacheRelshipMaxRows - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Repository\MaxRowCacheAge Adding Repository Tables to an Existing .mdb File ------------------------------------------------- If you try to open an existing .mdb file from within VCM that is not a repository database (i.e., it does not contain the repository structure/tables), you will be asked if you want the repository tables added to the database. You should not do this for normal use; the repository should generally be in a separate database. This will work, but it can take as long as 10 minutes to create the repository structure in an existing .mdb file. To create a brand new .mdb file containing the repository structure, right- click in the folder outline, click Repository, click New, and then enter the name of the file you want to create.
