Application Icon In VB 2010 Express?
Jan 2, 2011
I created .ico file for my application and indicated it in Icon property of the main form in VB 2010 Express. However when I build my application the .exe file has standard form icon, although when I run .exe I see created icon in form caption area. I even created 2 versions of the icon (32x32 and 16x16) in order to see if this is related to size.Is this something related to VB Express or I am missing something? Do I need to do something additionally to assign icon to .exe file when viewed in explorer window?

I have a VB application that executes an external application, via Shell().
What I want is to be able to have control over the "shortcut properties", if you will (such as icon & title), resulting in the external app being forced to use that specified icon and title for its spot in the taskbar while it is running.
A normal desktop shortcut does this easily (by editing its properties) but I don't know if it's possible to take advantage of that.

I'm having some trouble sharing my application to other PC users. I have tried to Build my application and Publish my application into a folder, zip it, and put it on my website for people to download, but when they try to run the setup file it gives an error message saying they need to download "Mysql.Data V 6.4.4.0", which makes sense seeing how I have a resource that uses this. Do I need to use a different method to pack my application or what? I don't quite understand how I can incorporate this into the files so the end-user doesn't need to do any other downloading than my file.

I have a VB 2010 Express application that uses a .mdb and a .xml file. Both files are part of the project. I am pulling my hair out to try to figure out how to make sure that these two files are deployed with the application. So far, I have only been running in Debug mode, so I'm focused on making that work.
When I click on the Application Files button on the Publish Tab of My Project, both the mdb and xml files are visible. I have tried setting both files to Data and Include. In either case, the mdb file is copied to the bin directory when I try debugging my application. However, the xml file is not copied no matter which option I select.
How can I get the xml file to be copied into the bin directory like the mdb file?

Visual Basic 2010. For a school assignment i had to make a application with XAML in it. I made the tutorial Math Quiz when starting up Visual Basic 2010. This was a Windows Form application that only needed VB programming language. Now i made the Math Quiz and finished it but there is no XAML included or what so ever. Can I still convert this to XAML or just see any XAML language somewhere. Cause I need to proove to my Teacher the application I made includes XAML.

I've developed a database application in VB.Net Express 2010 and am having difficulty deploying it. The only deployment method available to me using the Express version is OneClick deployment. I can't figure out how to include the Access database file in the package.

As the title says, I have a program written in VB.net 2010. When I use the publish feature it creates a manifest and setup file that install the program nicely on another PC, but I think the security settings are somehow wrong because it sits there for ninety seconds upon launch. The program works fine on the computer that built it. There is no CPU usage while it is sitting around.

I have recently developed a back end database in SQL server 2008 R2 and attached it to a application in VB express 2010.Everything works fine and when i publish the application, it works fine on my machine, but once i try to setup up the application on another machine i get the error message: A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server was not found or not accessible please verify the instance name is correct or allow remote connections.I have read numerous forums on this saying about changing the connection string and instance name.but with being novice i dont understand what needs to be changed etc.The sql server allows remote connections, but i am unsure what else needs changing to allow the application to work with the database on another machine.

An application that has 3 Webbrowsers instantiated at design time navigates to webbrowser2 15 times every minute with a different webpage. Webbrowser2 is disposed of after each web page is received and processed. The size of the private application memory continues to grow as when the disposal was not instigated. The application memory grows to 1GB and then the program stops responding. Any suggestions? [Code]

i'm using Vs 2008 express edition, and i want to change the icon of my app, i used paint to create my ico file, and even been able to use that icon to a folder. My icon doesn't have any transparency or alpha channel at all.
2 question: my app creates and edits .gd files, and in order to read and load the file, i have a sub (sub loadfile), and an openfiledialog, the loadfile then uses the openfiledialog.filename, to load the chosen file. But i want users to be able to click the file, choose openwith, and open it with my app, the problem is i don't know how to open that file, of this way. [Code]

I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.

I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

Is VB Express 2010 slower to compile and run that older versions of VB Express? I've installed it this weekend and it seems a little sluggish on my quad core computer with 1 gig of RAM. I have VB Express 2005 installed for my students at school and it seems to fly just fine. Those school computers are older P4s with 512k of RAM.

Initially my app worked with excel fine, now it causes my computer to reboot only after Excel has been opened (two or more times). I have opened and closed Excel files 20+ times without running thru either of my apps (they all uses identical code for excel) and it has never caused a reboot or a crash.
run either of my apps and have the app control excel has become a crap shoot, it will reboot my computer. Adding to that I then have to do a manual shutdown because the reboot process after is unstable. (System doesn't respond properly). My code in this app is small, should make for a good example. I can provide the entire project to anyone who would volunteer to test it. (First I need to know how to send the project).

I'm at the code cleanup/little fixes stage of finishing my program and I'm trying to set the application icon. In the project properties I've chosen my icon file. It displays correctly in the taskbar, detail view, etc. However, it does not display when viewed on the desktop ("tiles" view) or when Alt+Tabbing.
How can I fix this so the icon displays properly everywhere?
