As Google and Yahoo have provided barely anything, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to, or an example of how I can build a working executable during runtime in vb.net.It's for my custom school project.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
How do you change the build executable image for your program? Right now mine looks like a blank form. I would like to add a custom image.
View 2 RepliesI finish to makethe forms and the code of my project, but when I try to make the executable file it shows errors about some forms that I created as test but I deleted so I wonder where I need to go to take them out and try to build again my executable smoothly?Example: Unable to open module file :'C:....CrystalReport2.vb': The system cannot find the file specifiedNote: That CrystalReport file was eliminated because I didn't need it.
View 2 RepliesI want to build a executable that asks you a question like "Do you want to download file?" and when the user says yes a file will download from a defined server location to executable defined directory?
View 7 RepliesIs there a way to build a new class during Runtime? Or at least, add a new property to an existing class.
I mean creating a class that doesn't exist and not an instance of an existing class. I could later on use reflections to load and use this class.
show me the steps to create a executable file of my project
View 3 RepliesI've been developing an application that is basically a GUI for several batch files. You click on a button, and the corresponding batch file will run. I got it working in debug using this code:
Private Sub btnOpenFS_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenFS.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("openfs.bat")
End Sub
Well I have a program, and I want to the program works alone at determinate time. I know that I have to create a "standalone executable" proyect or something like that. I really don't know how do this kind of things.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a little executable that when launched opens an IE browser to various websites like news sites all in different tabs. for example, a tab for wsj, nytimes, etc. How do I access IE with vb.net? What reference do I need to add? I can't find any sample code that I can make work I think it is because I am missing a library in my assembly?
View 3 Replieshow I can deploy my .NET applicationwithout the user having to install the program.i.e. In VB6, I could just create a executable file which did not require the user to install anything, they would simple run the program.
View 6 RepliesI would create a launcher for a game that is located in \folder\executable.exe I tried using the command shell, but the game does not start because it needs all the files found in folder.
View 9 RepliesI want to create a patch system which patches the entire executable. So like: You download my patch and it changes the code of the existing executable instead of replacing it. the reason why: I got an application which is already around the ~15MB and it will grow bigger (Like 200~300MB) so, I want to keep it compact.I've already read that patching an executable for only a string is quite easy, but, I got my doubts about actual code and resources.
View 7 RepliesI have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.
View 6 Repliesso my question is relatively simple, can I create VB6 application that references a class in a dll, and then substitute that dll for another at runtime?Now my intial guess is... no chance in VB6.
So my thoughts turned to a VB.net interop dll. Could I do it in here, and then call the interop dll from the VB? but I'd be happy if someone knew differently.The only thing that I think would actually work would be DI in .Net, but I'm limited to .net 2, or 3.5 at a big push, so I dont know if that is possible.
I have a dll that a specific site uses, but we dont want to ship that out to everyone. Instead, we want to build a clone dll which just has the interfaces setup so that the VB6 build will complete.When it gets to the site that needs it, they want to replace the dummy dll, and drop in their version instead.
Note: We do use RegFreeCOM when its gets installed, so I do have the manifest files that I could play around with if needed.
Can someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on creating and building custom controls that can be added to the Toolbox?

I've used 3d control magic for VB.NET to create shaped forms.When I bulid my project to create an exe, I want to include 3d control magic.exe into it, to be installed automatically in the clients computer.
View 1 RepliesWe had plan to create a three tiered architecture database application, where the middle tier will be implemented using Web Service. We're going to use Linux for the server, so I think for the web service to be able to be implemented, we only had PHP/Java left. Is this right?
The constraint is, we're going to use VB.NET for the client application.We already had a two tiered VB.NET application from our last successfull database application. It use a lot of DataSet for the result of SQL execution. Now, what I had in mind, is a simple approach of converting all procedure that return a DataSet Object, to be a WebService method. But, because of this thinking, I don't think we can do it in Java/PHP. That is, we'll be enforce to use a ASP.NET approach. Is this correct? I assume my answer from this article Consuming a DataSet from an XML Web Service (ADO.NET)
I Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.

I'm attempting to create a listbox when a button is clicked in Visual Basic 2008. I can't seem to find code that works to do this.
Dim lstOutput As ListBox
lstOutput = Me.Controls.Add("VB.Label", "List1")
Problem is that both of the things inside the parenthesis generate errors:For the first one:Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.Control'.And the second one:Too many arguments to 'Public Overridable Sub Add(value As System.Windows.Forms.Control)'.
Is it possible to create a new My.Setting item and value at runtime or does the setting already have to created? I'd like create new settings and delete settings.
View 1 RepliesI can build the tabstrip fine and name it - that part is from what I can see the easy bit.What I want to do is select a tab then create a listbox on that tab, and then pupulate the list box with data.
For this test I am using the event viewer.
The system loades the logs into memory, and then creates however many system logs there are ie application, system security etc etc.
But how the hell do I select one of these tabs then draw a listbox and then address the list box - Ideally the list boxes etc will be created at the time of the tab?[code]...
