Deploying A Application That Includes SSRS Reports To A Customer's Computer
Jun 5, 2012
We created a VB.Net application which includes SSRS reports that runs on my development computer. Do you know of a step by step guide that steps us through deploying the reports on our customer's computer? We will be installing SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced on the target computer then configuring the reporting services then installing the application. The last part we need help with is to install the reports themselves on the target computer.

I have a project that uses a crystal report and I'm planning of deploying it.The problem is, is there a common setup for the components that was used in my project so I don't need it to manually register on the client pc?

Is there any free version of SQL that includes the SSRS capabilities. I found the 180 day free trial. None of the Express version I download seem to have SSRS.

how to get my compiled program onto another computer. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
I've read and tried ClickOnce deployment and Setup Installer, but I'm not getting it right.
With ClickOnce, I manage to install the program and it has the menu item and icon in the Start menu, but when I try and run it, it tells me that it can't find the text file. I put the file in the bin Debug and Release folders, selected 'Build' then 'Publish' and still no go.
I tried the other option of creating an Installer (using [URL] as my guide), but I get the same error - the txt file can't be found.
I've done this several times, but just can't seem to get it to work. Other resources online, like YouTube, just cover a project that doesn't include a text file or database file etc.

I have a ClickOnce application that about 120 customers are using. This week, I found out two customers declined an update in January and were stuck on an old version. I discovered this by deleting an ASP script the old versions used on our server. The customers that aren't updating get a 404 and call to ask why.One customer clicked our install button again and got the latest version no problem. The other clicked our install button and gets an "Application validation did not succeed" error. The details of the error are SomeImage.gif "has a different computed hash than specified in manifest."I don't want to deploy a new version because that usually results in phone calls asking, "did you add what I asked for yet?"
I figure I should be able to uninstall the app completely and resintall with the one problem user. Nope. Error persists. How can I remove whatever the Windows uninstall process leaves behind that would cause this error to persist? I found the folder C:UsersUserAppDataLocalApps2.0 on the customer's Vista computer, and deleted it. We ran the installer again, and the error persisted after redownloading the app. I'm not 100% confident that this folder contained the whole program, though, but it is the only location on disk I could find that contained some resemblance of our app.

Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?

I am trying to use .Net to load reports into SSRS. When I looked up example code they used the Warning class which, after futher research, seems to be in the Microsoft.Build.Task namespace. My problemis that this library doesn't show up when I try to reference it and when I try to add references it doesn't Microsoft.Build doesn't show in the list of .Net references. What am I doing wrong? The compiler does not recognize the class in the following: Warning[] warnings = Null;

I'm using VS 2008 to develop a solution which will report on data mostly contained in SQL Express databases, across two servers. It will be used by up to about 10 XP clients. I am unfamiliar with the Reports Applications. Will I need to buy extra licenses to use a Crystal Reports application? Why are they both included in VS? What is the basic difference between them?

I have the following problem: I select a customer from a dropdownlist and then the gridview should load all items of all orders of that customer. I have the following query:
Dim allorders = From ord In db.Orders
Where ord.CustomerID = Convert.ToInt32(CustomerDropDownList.SelectedValue)
[CODE]..............
I also tried to modify the query as follows:
Dim orderitems = From oi In db.OrderItems
Where oi.OrderNumber = (From From ord In db.Orders
[CODE]...........
But this does not work. I just started using LINQ.

I am sure some of you have seen this project before. I need to create an application that queries customer name (first and last) and there addresses. I need more than that but once I figure what i am doing wrong with that, I should be able to figure out the rest on my own. I am using VS 2010. I can not figure out the proper syntax for String.Format. I can only get it to display the first and last names of the customers.This is the code I have so far:Public Class Form1

I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.

When a user click the .msi, i want a folder called "Your Files", which comes with two small images by default, to be created in C:UsersYourNameDocuments. In short, MyDocuments.
What i did is put the following code in program.cs:
string myDocuments = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
string downloadArea = System.IO.Path.Combine(myDocuments, "Your Files");
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(downloadArea);
Just before:
Application.Run(new mainForm());
The problem is, this folder will be created every time the user runs the application which is not a good solution, also in this case there is no place to load the two images so it can be loaded while the folder is created. I want the folder to be created once preferably while installing the application, so even when i uninstall the folder "Your Files" and its sub files be deleted automatically along with the program files. I tried to do it via Setup Project, but i couldn't.

Trying to deploy an application written in VB.NET. First had an issue with not including the PowerPacks (what is in this anyway?) but that went away and the application installed correctly once I included it as a prerequisite.Now however once the user logs into the application the main menu just bombs, doesn't even load, the app just quits. I suspected it was the DataGridView and had those suspicions confirmed when I changed the application's startup form to one without the grid.

I have an application that uses a text file for its settings. This file is placed in the application folder but deployment sets its file attributes as "Read Only". I have to manually change this attribute every time I deploy the application or an upgrade. I tried (successfully) to place the text file in the "Documents and settings|All users|Application Data" folder, creating a specific folder for my application in which to place my file. The folder and file were created by the setup process but then, users who did not have admin rights still did not see the file, let alone open it.
I have gone back to placing my text file in the [Programs files]|[Manufacturer]|[Application name] folder but am saddled with manually changing the attributes. Is there a way I can do this programatically during deployment (e.g. by some post-deployment process)?

I am deploying a VB.net 2010 winforms application, and when I install it on the client's machine, the install process also installs an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. The application connects to a central SQL database on the server. To install, I am using the "Publish" option in VS 2010. Why does it do that? There should be no need for a local instance of SQL Express. Is there a way to avoid installing SQL 2005 Express (I know it is free, but I would rather not have it installed if possible).
