I have created a VB ActiveX Control. I embed the DLL using the following semantics. It appears to be working fine in my local machine. However, it does not in other's workstation. But I was not able to generate the LPK file using the LPK_tool.exe since the ActiveX control did not show up in the list.

I created a simple dll in VB2008 on my development workstation (uses a GUID and Implements an Interface,It is a basic "Hello World" & someInputValue. I reference this dll in a MS Access code module and works fine on dev machine. I run Debug.Print testDll.HelloWorld("xyz") and I get I then copy the mdb and dll, tlb files to the remote workstation (where I am also running all versions of the .Net framework) and try this on the remote workstation -- Everything compiles fine within the Access code module on the remote workstation, but I get an error message that the ActiveX control cannot be created when I try to run the procedure. I tried to register the dll regsvr32.exe "C:myDirmyTestDll.dll"and get the message that the dll is loaded but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered. I know that I have tested other custom dlls on this remote workstation before, and everything worked fine.
View 4 RepliesI have a COM dll that has been developed under vb.net. The Control works just fine in IE 6 and IE 7, but when IE 8 tries to load the control, the browser crashes. I look at the event viewer and I get an error 1000 about iexplorer.exe and mshtml.dll. Do I have to build this com dll with IE 8 on my development machine? How can I track down what is wrong with the Control?

View 8 RepliesI need to create a spreadsheet of which kit is assigned to which person, within the company.
We have desktops & laptops, for the purpose of this post, we'll say desktops are named DESKTOP then a random 3 digit number (DESKTOP001, DESKTOP002 etc.) and laptops are named LAPTOP then a random 3 digit number (LAPTOP001, LAPTOP002 etc.)
I'm presuming the best way of checking which user uses each workstation would be to check who last logged in to it. doing this for ALL computers in a certain OU (lets say DESKTOP_OU for desktops and LAPTOP_OU for laptops in this example) (either with VB Script or PowerShell I would presume) and to export it to Excel.

View 4 RepliesI developed a ClickOnce application using MS Chart Controls. It works fine for the charting part. But, as Chart Control needs to be installed beforehand (with admin rights and not with classic ClickOnce deployment), I need to detect if the component is available on the machine. So I tried to create a new Chart and to handle the possible Exception but it seems it is not possible to catch it (too low level Exception?) :
Try
Dim oChart as New Chart
Catch
' Some user-friendly message to ask the user to contact the helpdesk
End Try
This code is never executed: I get a unhandled Exception as soon as I enter the event this code is in. See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to deploy an application that uses SMO on a workstation without SQL Server installed on it. The instance the app is connecting to is SQL Server 2008. The application is failing with:Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication, Version 10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=89845cdc8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
The assembly in question is in the same path as my application as well as system32. I am running this on a Windows 7 64 bit box. I have run SQL Native Client, CLR, and SMO MSIs from the 2008 SMO redist download page.This app worked fine when connecting to SQL Server 2005.
A user scans a series of documents which are sent through a program that places a .tif or .pdf of each document into a folder on a remote VM Server and sends the image location to a VM instance of SQL Server(along with other OCR extracted data).
It is my job to create a program that will:
1. Allow another user to see the filenames on a form, chose which files need to be processed (either by typing them into two textboxes {ie. start and end filenames} or by clicking on a start and end filename on the form {from a databound SQL container maybe?}.
2. The program then must show the images in a picture box as it is copying them to the destination folder.
3. Then the software must somehow be able to regonize which documents were processed, and not include them in new searches.

View 9 RepliesI am trying to come up with a good way to enumerate hard disks on remote workstations, possibly including administrative shares, so I can audit key files on them without having to access them via sneakernet.I have domain administrator rights. Security policy prohibits using WMI which would be a great solution.I can retrieve a list of computers using Active Directory, but I need some way to determine what drives are available on each system. Is such a thing feasible? A fellow developer offered some VB6 code from years ago that used WNetOpenEnum, but I was hoping that since we are at .NET framework 4, maybe there's a more elegant / managed way of working with this. I'm keen to use technologies that are more generally supported, such as standard APIs etc. WMI is a great solution but apparently is blocked by default by Windows Firewall, so its availability is not guaranteed.
View 2 RepliesIn our VB.Net application, we need to get the path to our data folder in Public Documents. In our standalone application this is straighforward using the SHGetFolderPath function. However, for our network application, we run into a problem when we load the application on a Win 7 server and run it from a Win XP workstation. From the workstations, SHGetFolderPath returns the workstation's public documents folder instead of the what we want, which is the server's public documents path.Is there any way within the application to query the public documents path on the server?
View 1 RepliesI built a specialized userControl using VB2008 (on XP 32-bit) to embed in HTML (not ASP!) and compiled it, pointing to x86 CPUs. I added the necessary keys to the registry (see attachment) to declare a classId in a HTML 'object' tag. This scheme works OK on all 32-bit OS I could put my hands on, but fails to load on 64-bit: I could test only on XP and Win 2003. No error message and Fiddler does not even know something happened... I installed VS2008 on the XP 64-bit machine and ported the code to a fresh userControl (to check the code). I got the userControl running on this workstation without any trouble. I copied this new DLL on another workstation and added the necessary keys to the register, but to no avail. I checked the registry and the 'Wow64' keys are there allright. As a check (and to provide you with a 'working' example), I:
- built a very simple userControl on the 32-bit environment (label, textbox and button to display the text in a mMessage box),
- on the 32-bit workstation:
+ copied the file to a 'program files' folder,

I've seen quite a few questions about calling 32 bit ActiveX components on 64 bit platforms - as I understand it you can't create a 32 bit ActiveX component from a .NET application running in X64 (native) mode. This is OK and I think I understand it.But my question is more basic. Is there such a thing as a 64 bit ActiveX component? or is ActiveX always 32 bit, period?

View 2 RepliesI am converting an application to Visual Basic .NET.I have an ActiveX DLL that I must use that contains a PublicNotCreatable class that contains these user defined types:
Public Type CSGSelectionItem
Primary As Long
Sub As Long

I have come across a couple of problems with this. The most important problem is that VB.NET doesn't want to let me Redim the 'ItemList' of a variable with a type of CSGShapeSubSelection:
Dim cdtShapeSubSelection As CanvasSG.CSGShapeSubSelection
ReDim cdtShapeSubSelection.ItemList(lSelectionItemListCount - 1)
I get an error: 'Redim' statement requires an array.Also, it seems as though VB.NET has no knowledge of what CSGSelectionItem is. So, when I type:cdtShapeSubSelection.ItemList(0).I get no auto-complete suggestions of any value. I would have expected suggestions of "Primary", "Sub", and "OperationControlEffect", but instead I get "Equals", "GetHashCode" etc.
