Has anyone tried to call FindResource to determine the "TYPELIB" resource that is embedded in a COM server? I am using VB (.NET 2008) to try to accomplish this task. (Why? I want to distinguish between a COM server and other types).

View 6 RepliesIn a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.
I have VS 2005. I am creating a VB .NET class that will interop with a COM app. I want to add a reference to a type lib file (.tlb). So I run the add reference command and use the browse button. I browse to the .tlb file I want and ok out. When I am done, the reference I have is to an assembly in the GAC. But I don't want that assembly as a reference. I want to have the IDE create a private interop assembly that I will deliver with my .NET object.
So how do I avoid hvaing VB .NET pull in an assembly from the GAC instead of creating an interop asm from the typelib I have browsed to?
I have a simple app (coded in VB 2008 Express Edition) that uses an SQL Server database (in .mdf format) that works fine on my own machine. I created the database in SQL Server on this machine. I added the DB as a data source and it works fine. But when packaged this app (ClickOnce) and installed this app on a different machine the installer tries to download MS SQL Server Express. Obviously this is because SQL Server is a prerequisite and is not installed on the other machine. But just as obvious is the fact that the download will take a long time to complete before my code even starts installing.
My question is this: Is there an SQL Server reference (using Add Reference...) that I can add to avoid this? I suspect the application just needs one or two DLL files from SQL Server. Downloading the whole product seems like overkill. Is there a way I can included the needed files in my app to avoid this long download process?
I am going to create a web server control representing a treeview. So I want to use 2 images for + and - for expand/collapse. How can I build this into the control in a way that can be used as image source when rendered on the page? Since this will be in a compiled web controls library, I don't want to rely on external images in the web application.
Edit:Based on this answer by Andre Kraemer I did the following:
In AssemblyInfo.vb:
<Assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyCompany.MyWebControls.Resources.plus.gif", "image/gif")>
<Assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyCompany.MyWebControls.Resources.minus.gif", "image/gif")>
[code]....
My Assembly name is MyWebControls.My Root Namespace is MyCompany.MyWebControls.The images plus.gif and minus.gif are located in a folder named Resources, and the images have Build Action set to Embedded Resource.It still does not work. I get no errors. I have tried the generated image url directly in the browser, bot nothing happens, just a blank page.
Note:I tried to use an invalid path in the resource name, and the result was exactly the same, which made me wonder if I need to do something special to map the actual resource to the resource name. I got a 404 Not Found error only if I used different name in the code than what was specified in AssemblyInfo, it had nothing to do with path was pointing to an actual resource!

My application communicates with DB's, images, etc. which are located on our company server/domain.
In real-world use, the app is used only by users on this server/domain. I have connection strings and various other settings which point to the sever for the user. While I'm developing/testing, I may or may not be connected/authenticated to the server/domain. There are many times when I am not.
Currently, I manually change each setting to point to a local address containing copies of needed items when I'm not on the server/domain.My goal is to develop a method to automatically determine whether that domain is available. If not, adjust settings as needed in code. This is for my benefit, while developing.
I'm fishing for various methods/techniques people have developed or use to accomplish this.
Ok I have a question about connection string in vb.net. Im using the string [Code] but here I am specifying the serverName by its name, now if I deploy my application and send it to another person to use it I see that server name is changing according to the name of the computer. Is there any way where by I can make my application to detect itself the Name of the server present in that computer and use it in connection string?
