Creating Executables In VB?
Nov 19, 2009
I am working on a project where I am required to create four executables from the solutions I have been working on and I am unable to get them to work on an alternative computer.
When I use the publish tool and publish them on my desktop they work without any problem but if I put these on a sub folder or on another computer then they do not work, I have been told that I need to create an installer file .AS or something but I am unsure how to go about it
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how I can create an executable that will run on any computer other than the one it has been developed on.

I am converting an older software package written in VB 6 to VS 2010.Not to incredibly painful but planning for the future as we have had lets say a few issues with VB 6 on our current layout of multiple OS and this is my first real project lead.We are a smaller job shop and we move on a rotation of new PC's/OS's come in to replace broken or exhausted older PC's in the front office and move the older PC's out to the shop floor.We have an array of different OS's ranging from Windows 98 and Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit OS). By the time I am done with the conversion we should be sitting comfortable with a range of PC's from XP and up. When creating the executable for my project is this something that can be handled ahead of time, creating multiple executables for specified OS, or an all in one package executable?I was looking to see what people had as suggestions at handling this.We haven't even bought VS yet and are looking at the VS 2010 Premium package, do I need Ultimate?

This is my first time so please be gentle. I hope this is in the correct place.Basically I want create a reg key that will effectively add a site to the trusted zone of IE.I have got so far and can create the key but I want it to create a REG_DWORD and not a REG_SZ. My code is:
[Code]...
I only have a very basic knowledge of VB but am trying. Basically I want to run a script that will add this website to the trusted site of users. We will have hundreds who need this and want to create a script to speed it along. I will be adding other things to the script as time goes on but this is the first step.

I'm looking to create an API for a website I have built. The API will be built in ASP.Net - probably using VB and will need to be consumed by multiple platforms including PHP. I've read a bit about REST vs. SOAP APIs and am confused about which route I should go. I also need some examples and frameworks I can use to get started.

I am trying to learn how to create a DLL in C (using Visual C++ 2010) for use in Visual Basic (2008 Express). I am a novice programmer, so please bear with me. My objective is to learn how to do starting with a very simple function, and I foundC++.html This examples presented in that tutorial are for Visual C++ 6 and VB6. I know there are differences between VB6 and VB2008, so maybe this is why I am running into problems following this example. In Visual C++, I created the DLL as a Win32 project. The function is simply summing two integers. I put the function "sum" in the source file "dllmain.cpp."

Is there any C# .NET ORM that can create databases? It should be capable of creating MS + MySQL + PostGre + Oracle databases at least.And I don't mean tables or schemas, I mean the database only.I use nHibernate, but it can only create tables and schemas, and query/insert but not creating the database itself.

I'm building a simple udp lan chat application in vb.net and I'm wondering how I should split my packets. Each sent packet should have like an id, a username and ip address from where it's coming and maybe also a command part for like join or leave to update my userlist and a text message. I'd like to know what is the easiest way to put all this in a simple packet then easily split and access different parts from it when it's received. thanks.I'm using UDP since this is only in lan so i'm broadcasting to *.*.*.255
What I want to know is what would be the most easy and powerful way to format my packets so they include a username , an id, a command and a text message, then the user receiving it decrypt it to show only the message written by which user or if it's a command like join or leave to show the appropriate message of joining and add the user to the list for exemple.

I have a vb.net web app, and I need to give my users the facility to download a ms-word .doc file. This file needs to be created dynamically, and should contain some bold text and a table.
I've come across this code, which builds a .doc file, and lets you download it:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileName As String = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc"
[Code]....
...but I don't know how to make the text bold, or create a table. I'm sure there's a better way.

I want to create a big list box that has lots of default values in many lines so they can then be edited later.Right now I have in my initializer:
Dim counter As Integer = 0
For counter = 0 To counter = totalNumber
listBoxThingy.Items(counter) = ("DEFAULT DETAILS TO BE COMPLETED")
Next
with my list box called listBoxThingy and totalNumber a previously defined constant of how many items I want in my list box.yet when I try to run the code I always just end up with the first list value containing the text.Even if I put a counter=counter+1 it still only gives me the one completed value of my list box?

How can I create a confirmation popup box into my Windows Form project? I use SQL Server Compact and Visual Studio 2008 Pro.At the moment I have some buttons and operations that delete selected rows straight from my database.
What I want to do, is have those buttons continue with the coded operation if the user clicks "OK" on the confirmation box.The box should be like the MsgBox, but with two selections: "OK" and "CANCEL".
P.S. I have several places to include that confirmation operation.

I'm trying to develop 2 companion applications. One application will be a FileSystemWatcher service application that will create/maintain a database containing file metadata (file properties) from a specific folder structure on the user's C drive. The other application is executed by the user which contains edit boxes pertaining to the metadata. As the user enters data in the edit boxes, the code will execute an SQL statement which in turn will display a list of file matching the entered criteria.
I'm thinking about using Microsoft Access as the database since all users have it but I'm willing to use another database format as long as it something intrinsic to the Windows XP 64 bit system (i.e. I don't want to install another database application in order to utilize its database format). So, do you have a suggestion on a database format? Do you have some pointers or links, on how to create database file and tables on the fly? Should I use DAO or ADO or something else? I'd prefer to work in VB.NET.

I created a new class project. I added a new COM object.The .ddl contains a single Public Function and one Public method. The method contains one line of code, a msgbox.I have "Register for COM interop" checked in the Project>Configuration>Compile page.I have ComVisible(true) in the AsseblyInfo.vb file.I use RegAsm to register the .dll and the .tlbI have used RegAsm to create a .reg file and then imorted successfully into the registry. If I open Excel, and go to Macro I cannot add the .dll as a refernce. The exact message I get is "Can't add a refernce to a specified file".I can reference the .tlb file and the Intelisense works. However, when the Excel Macro code runs I get the error, "Can't find file".I don't really expect anyone to download it to solve my problem. But if you become as frustrated as I am, I thought it might help to see the actual files. Be aware that I enclosed the .reg file from the RegAsm process. You can view it by opening notepad first and browsing for it. Do not click on the .reg file as I think that might modify your registry.

I've no problem dragging and dropping controls to a form, but what I am trying to do at the moment is create a simple label and display it at run time. Since the form doesn't exist at compile time, it isn't shown as a member of my basic form in the drop down on VB2008 and, of course, doesn't appear before the program is run.No problem creating the label and assigning property values (size, position and text etc.) in my program, but for some reason I cannot get it to display. Checked inherited properties such as visible and everything looks ok. No exceptions are thrown, all is well but the label never appears.Here's the code for display...label 2 is an existing visible label, a member of the form. Perhaps I am goofing in not making label3 a member of the form as well?
'place label near label 2
label3.Location = New Point(Me.Label2.Location.X + 20, Me.Label2.Location.Y + 20)
label3.Size = New Size(75, 75)
label3.Text = "here I am, Ma!"
