Auto-update Silently Or Invisibly
Oct 24, 2009
I may be deploying my app (its a database software for videos) to 4 - 5 computers. I want to add some new features but have the software update automatically and silently. Due to security holes or issues with bugs, I don't want to give the clients the choice to update. I just want it to check for an update and if one is available, it can SAY that its updating on a label but that's about it and it automatically updates without confusing the user or wasting any more time than it should.

I'm trying to do a mail merge but keeping word invisible from the user, no flashing of word onscreen. I've set isvisible = false when declaring the word object and also when opening the word file but word will always appear on screen. New to this so not sure how to access word without it appearing on screen.

I wanted to open a URL from my VB.net Application on a button click event (for sending SMS from my application). However, I don't want my users to know about it & I don't want to have a browser pop up and execute the URL.
Is it possible to do it invisibly? And once it is done, is it possible to close the invisible browser window too?

I'm about to roll out a large application to many workstations throughout the company and I've never really had the need to "auto-update" an application until now. Ideally, I'd like a "one time install" and then updates are applied without user intervention/IS involvement. (user intervention would be ok as long as it wont require a logoff or admin escalation)

I have always made a setup file with "instal creator" which have made a nice one file of my program and it have been easy to share. This time I need a chance to update my application. I read somewhere that having website is necessary or its much easier to do that way, is it true? I have worked before with ucoz/unet so I think I could use it.

I have a class as follows:
Public Class BillAmounts
Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
[Code]...
However, the issue is that TOtalAMount is getting updated automatically but FinalPrice is not getting updated. Any reasons/mistakes I have done. I have tried it a lot in few ways but could not get that working. What i did not understand is that Total amount is getting updated but Final price isn't.

I'm creating part of a program which calculates vacation hours multiplied by accrual rate. As of right now all parts of the form are functioning and saving/retrieving data from a csv text file. My problem is that I'd like to bring the process out of a button.click event and into Form_Load. Currently when I click a listview item (lvwData.SelectedItems) it populates a textbox (txtAvail), then recalculates the textbox value based off my formula (hours) and updates the listview's 4th column item. To update each column daily, I currently have to click each row, then my button, then move onto the next item. I'm looking for a way to grab the 4th column, recalculate it and update the listview without having to select each row.

I have a stand alone application "test.exe" on a Windows 7 operating system.I have an application "test.exe" made in Visual basic 8.0.I have an "Auto Update" function . Call this function from "test.exe". In the first line in "test.exe".This function does the following:
1. This checks whether the current version is older than the version on specific site, if so:
1a. Removed all *. old
1b. Rename test.exe to test.old
1c. dowload new test.exe
I'm afraid I get an error when I rename "test.exe" to "test.old" because "test.exe" is now active.How can I prevent this or what else should I do?

However, when I check the directory where the files should have been downloaded, I can only see the AutoUpdater

Currently I'm using a third party file hosting website (like mediafire) to upload my program and I update the link every time a new version is out.I know there are some ways to autoupdate the program but most of them need to own a website, which currently I don't have.So I was wondering if there could be a way to make an autoupdate using sites like mediafire.Example: I always delete old version of the program, on mediafire when someone try to access a deleted file page he gets redirected on a page which says "file deleted or invalid". So if the program find out that the file link redirect to that page it should inform the user about the new version.

Is there a way to auto-update a listview based on reading a column?
Requirements:
1) The code must make a call to a user-created "Private Sub" to recalculate
2) Update must be automatic. .SelectedItem or clicking a row will not work
3) The formula function cannot be included in Form_Load
I've got everything working if the user selects a row, then clicks an "update" button using .SelectedItem. But with my current program containing 200 rows, it's not feasible. Simply put, how would I go about updating a listview column (0 in this case) based off a call to a formula, then updating the row?

I have a windows form with a DataGridView control.I bound it into an attached DB file (.mdf).I perform insertion by generating a dynamic Insert statement. I then pump this sql statement into a SqlCommand object and perform ExecuteNonQuery() method. All of these is performed by handling a Button click event. The button and the gridview is located on the same form.
Public Sub InsertRow(ByVal param1 As String, ByVal param2 As String, ByVal param3 As String)
Dim strConn As String = (the connection string)
Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection(strConn)
[code]....
After the code execution, the DataGridView is not updating (remains intact). I have to exit the form and reload it to have the updated gridview.For certain reasons, I can't use DataTable object.But I would like to have this gridview updated everytime I run the insertion.

I have this function for removing duplicates in arrays[code]...
What is happening at the moment is that the inner loop reaches the array.Remove(inner_element) line for the first time in its second loop during the second loop of the main foreach, reaches the inner next line and then just stops executing. There are no warnings / notices, the debugging step though just ends as if there was no further logic.

If an error occurs in my application, I'd like an email to be silently sent to me with the error description (as long as the internet connection is established).
I know how to send emails in VB.Net, but I wonder what is the best way to get this done.
Is this something that should be done in a module? I could use some advice on the subject before I start coding.
