.net - Shortcut Created - WinForms ClickOnce Installation Does Not Have A Target Tab
Sep 5, 2011
I have taken over support for a VB.Net WinForms application. When this application is installed via a ClickOnce installation it generates a shortcut on the desktop. The annoying thing, though, is that if you do a right click and properties on the shortcut that was created, it is clear that it is not a regular shortcut as it does not have a target tab, so it is not obvious from the shortcut properties what this shortcut is referencing. So my questions relating to this are: what is the idea behind this kind of shortcut? Why is the the target for this type of shortcut hidden? (What are they even called? This is the first time I have ever seen a ClickOnce installation, so was somewhat surprised when I found that the properties tab was missing.) How do you find out what executable is being referenced by the shortcut?

I have a application that I deployed to web server. Users go to "publish.htm" deployment web page to install my vb.net application. Where is the application installed? I don't think it is installed under "Program Files" like others.

I need to obtain the target of a shortcut (.lnk) file using Visual Basic 2008 or 2010 under Windows 7.For Windows XP and VB 2005 I used the Windows Script Host Object model and DLL, like this:
Imports WSH = IWshRuntimeLibrary
. . . . .
Dim MyShell As New WSH.WshShell

I've developed a VB.NET console application and tried to use the Build | Publish menu option in Visual Studio 2008 to create a Setup. It works fine except two things:
- when I run the Setup on a Windows 2003 Server, it installs the application in the C:Winntprofiles\Local SettingsApps2.0 directory. How can I configure the setup so that it would prompt for a target directory for the application?
- After the Setup is complete, it starts the application automatically. How can I suppress the auto-start?

I am developing an application in Vb.Net 2005 and have enabled the installation by clickonce, the update occurs before the application starts. My problem is very simple, the server that contains updates is correctly natted to be available from the outside with a public IP.
The clients who access from an external network connecting without problems, download software and updates. When local clients are connected to the same network of the server (LAN) can not download anything because they try to access the server with the ip public, and the nat does not work . We can not perform operations on the DNS server or hosts file and not even on the router.
I need to figure out if i can use ClickOnce to use more than one distribution server, primary and secondary. I'd like to set as the primary server the public address and the secondary server with internal network ip address.

I have a winform where I have some controls like TabPane, Label, ....When I launch my application without localization, it works fine. When I put localizable parameter True, I have this error :
TargetInvocationException was unhandled
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.And when I debug my application, I follow the execution, program begins executing InitiliazeComponent(). I press F11 to continue the debug, program executes the TabIndex event of my TabPane and on the first instruction it crashes.My environment is VS2008, Framework 3.5. I store my project on a network hardisk (I test on local and it doesn't work too)

I am using the built-in My.Settings functionality in VB.NET to save application settings.
This is very convenient but I notice that each time I release a new version, the settings are lost.
Why and how can I prevent it?

how it might be possible to only request the FileIO permission for the data directory created by clickonce? I want to run my clickonce exe from the web, but I only want to request the IO permission for the data directory where I am storing some user files. Unfortunately, I don't know the directory when I build the project.

I have a tab control (in my case a UltraTabControl from Infragistics) and I add a new tab.
The text of this new tab is set to "Escape &Characters".
lTab.Text = "Escape &Characters"
When visualizing the tab control the & will become an _ (underscore) for the next character - in this case "C"
I know that & is the Microsoft way of indicating a shortcut character - but is there any way of disabling this behaviour?

I have created a custom installer in VB.Net to create directories during installation. Now I want to delete those directories and sub directories during un-installtion.
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
InstallDir = Me.Context.Parameters("dir")
Try
Dim f1 = System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f1")
Dim f2= System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f2")
[Code] .....
But its not happening the directories and the files in the installed directory are not getting deleted.

I'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:

I seem to be having an issue with Building my application. THe programs builds just fine,but when you install the program and then run the program it wants to act like its configuring the program, prior to running the actual program.I get a windows box that pops up stating its configuring the program and then it runs.But it only happens when I access the program through the shortcuts that I have the program create when it installs. If I go directly to the program directory and click on the program there, it starts just fine.

I have an .exe application written in vb.net. When I make shortcuts to the application, say on desktop (or anywhere else) and then click on them I want to programatically get the path to that shortcut, ie. C:/Users/xxx/Desktop/shortcut.lnk.
I want this so I can store the pairs shortcuts : (program + different cmd args).

I am working on a wizard form framework that will allow me easily create wizard forms.I have a WizardForm form that has a panel on it. My plan is to dynamically load UserControls into this panel on the form.Each UserControl that is loaded onto the form panel must implement certain properties (allowNavigateNext, AllowNAvigate previous etc.). So I have created an interface to enforce that contract so that any custom user control can be used in the wizard as long as it implements that Interface. So far so good. created my first user control. I implemented the interface. All was good.I went to do the second user control and I realized that this second user control would have the EXACT SAME implementation of the interface as the first User Control. So...I thought...aha...duplicated code...how can I get rid of that.

Just moved from VB.NET to C#.In VB to connect and Event Handler to a Sub we use the Handles clause.From what it seems, this do not exist in C#. After creating a simple application with a button I realize that Window Forms Designer automatically created an EventHandler to my button1_Click function (after I double clicked it), in Form1.Designer.cs with this code:
this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
But, in VB, the WinForms Designer create the Handles clause in my class, in the function header. So, C# create the default EventHandler in designer file, while VB creates in main class where control resides.
