.NET Application Running Under Windows XP In German Language?
May 18, 2009
As I said, I have a vb.net application which runs perfectly fine on Windows XP EN. However, it becomes problematic when run it under Windows XP in German Language. I have a string type in app.config file, it stores a color's RGB value "0,102,255" as a string. When the application starts loading, I will grab that value as a string and use ColorConverter object to convert it to a color as shown the following
Dim oConverter As New ColorConverter
Dim oColor As Color = CType(oConverter.ConvertFromString(My.Settings.MyColorString), Color)
If i want to create a vb.net windows application in multi-language (EnglishArabic). Is there any steps i need to do?I installed the Arabic at my windows XP and I am able to write the labels and the the textbox for example in arabic but is there a way for the controls to shifts automatically?
I'm having problem with our germany customers whose operating system uses dot as thousand separator and comma as decimal point.I have an application which reads some text from an Access database, parse it into data and display on a datagridview,the program also needs to write the data into another file as input to another application. right now, it seems when my application parses doubles (say 0.2500),germany os will always return everything except the decimal dot(so 0.2500 becomes 2500),and that just messed up the whole process...so my question is, how can we detect the locale of the windows and parse the doubles correctly?
I have seen this happen before but am not sure how I resolved it in the past. On runtime the controls of my form change from the windows 7/vista format to an older version format as shown in the attached image.
How to display the controls in the format on the left (new windows format)
I developed a c# .net windows application and create Set-up for it on windows XP Professional OS .
And Try to Run This Set-up on to Windows 7 OS(32 and 64 bit Both) for installing this application onto Windows 7 OS Machine But Installation Failed and Throw Code Error: 2869.
I have a VB 6 SP6 application that uses DirectX 7 to interface to a USB joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro).The application works under Windows XP Pro (32-bit).I've got Visual Studio and the application running under Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32-bit).
I've calibrated the joystick under Windows 7.The VB 6 application does not find any DirectX 7 joystick device to connect to.Otherwise, the VB 6 application works (GUI, embedded video, serial channel, Ethernet connections).The VB 6 application must be accessing the dx7vb.dll or it would crash.The joystick disc did not provide a driver.I installed the latest joystick Profiler vendor software from the Web.This is my first attempt to use Windows 7 as a platform.I'm not sure what to try from a Windows 7 perspective.
I have a problem with any vb.net application running on my windows 2003 vps. I've tested this by creating the simplest form with just a button on it and executing the following code...
I have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".
Not sure whether this is possible, but I'm creating a file encoding applcation. When a file is decoded, it is saved temporarily in a temp directory, after which it can be opened regularly. However, I actually need to be certain the file is removed as soon as the application that has opened it, has closed it (e.g. has shut down). Otherwise, the decoded (secret) file is just hanging in the temp directory without supervision.
I've developed a VB.NET application with Visual Studio 2008. The application communicates with SQL Server and processes a text file.
My question is about performance. While I run it from Visual Studio 2008, it takes 3 sec to complete. The same is when I run the executable created by the Setup Wizard on my desktop (Windows XP sp 3). But if I run the executable installed on a Windows 2003 Server, it takes 15 sec to complete! What could be the reason of degrading performance on the server vs. the desktop? The .Net framework 3.5 SP1 is installed both on the desktop and the server.
I want a sure-shot method to test if the application was run via the UAC box and has full administrative rights. Earlier, I thought of making a folder in C:Windows for testing but running it on other computers proved to be a failure!
The UAC box provides all administrative rights to the computer to do anything(including making folders and creating files in places which needs there rights) and also makes sure that any child program so called or created also does have the same rights as the parent.Is there a sure-shot way to test if my application has been provided all the administrative rights that I can maximum get by the user while running the application or not? If yes, I would be glad to have to piece of code-work!
I have designed and published my small created app with WINDOWS FORMS using VB 2010 EXP on Windows 7. I can only install the app on the machine that I used to develop the app.I want to install the app on another computer but I cannot. I usually have error reports.
Example:Unable to install or run this application. This application requires Microsoft Common Language Runtime 4.0.3 to be installed on your computer.
what can I do to be able to install the app on a different computer which does not have .Net and does not have visual basic 2010 installed.
FormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]
I created a VB application in VS2010 using Win7 x64 that performs numerous integer type calculations and displays various results to the user. I have discovered that users running Windows with a different language pack than I developed the App in have problems with how some numbers are displayed and with some of the calculations. Can someone point me to suggestions I can take to ensure the calculations work and numbers display properly regardless of the Windows UI language of the user?
I had done one application using api which send the message to given number. The working of software is very fine without any error working on windows XP SP2. I heard that vista already contain the .net frame work so didnt installed .net frame work in machine. I checked in vista it shows .net frame work is in machine. But when same code i tried to run on Vista it gives the error. Error is as follows
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I am building a Setup project for a Web system using Visual Studio 2008. I upgraded my development machine from Windows Xp to Windows 7. The problem started with Windows 7. Whenever I try to build I get the above error. I ve tried several solutions given online but I ve failed to get a solution. When I transfer the system to a machine running Windows Xp or Windows 2003 Server it builds successfuly.
I want to know if it's possible to change the display language of Windows 7 ( in Spanish) to English and if so how to do it.
I'm having conflicts with non-unicode applications and showing error codes. This is a new computer with everything in Spanish, I'm attempting to put all possible in English.
I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!
I'm trying to make my program into multi-language.The language file where the program reads the text from contains information like this: maintitle=Lanslaget Studio Professional Edition
file=File show=Show edit=Edit help=Help
[code].....
Note!: My program works like this:One base program (.exe) that loads it's functions from .dll files. The language-change function works well on the base-program ( so far ) but not on the .dll-functions that i have tried it on.
I want to buil an application, in which text boxes can take urdu language. I tried changing the font and put it to Arabic but when I ran it and typed something, it types in English. I do not want user to change regional setting when my application is used. I have seen this in many urdu applications, when we install, we simply run them without changing any settings.
We have a windows service running under a network account that calls and runs an ActiveX exe. The exe is running under the local system account, not the network account of the service.
I have an application which won't run on a German version of XP. It crashes when trying to load a setting from a .exe.config file. The line it fails on is: [Code] however the value in the variable ends up as 8.0 (it is a single). In an English version of XP the value in the variable ends up as .8 as one would expect. Weird huh? Anybody got an explanation?
I would like you all to give me some links about embeding scripting languages and I would like to ask if it is possible to embed Ruby into a Vb.net application. I only know Vb.net c# and ruby and would prefer not to have to learn c/c++ (even though i probably will have to in the very far future).
