Distributing My Programs - Specific Calculations That I Would Like To Share With Some People (for Free)
Feb 19, 2009
I came in recently with VB.NET and have created some very simple programs e.g. specific calculations that I would like to share with some people (for free), because they have found them useful. I am not to sure with the law on this. Is it legal to distribute my own work and how will I identify it as my own because some wiseguy could claim it's his own and I won't be able to prove it.
When you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
i try to make a program that can share a database to other people using a upload/update system but when i try to download/upload it keeps saying mdf file in use how can i make the code so that it Uploads and overwites the file without that error.as it must be so it must upload to my server (build in)and download (also build in)the error gives file in use constandly how can i fix this issue?of that file in use problem. even when these no querry or other code running?
I am trying to list folders under a specific share example: \servernameshare I want the list to display in a listbox named folderlistBx I do not want to see file names or subfolders, just a list of folders
Private Sub ListBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBtn.Click Dim FS As New FileSystemObject
I need to access (windows apps) the file with a specific account (file located on a share) something like this: Dim myFileInfo as FileInfo=New FileInfo(FileName) ,UserID,Password.
I have just tried to publish a program on CD using the ClickOnce method.Everything worked well until I tried to install it on my Laptop.The program installed and ran OK on my desktop (where I created the program) and I copied the files to CD. There were two files;The program name of type Application Manifest (.application) and the Setup file (.exe).I went through all the procedure as dictated in the help file including the part that said "Closer Look: Including Prerequisites With Your Program" but nothing I tried seem to work. It appears as if I need to download further files??
My problem with distributing a program on CD has not as yet been resolved. It does appear as if the problem is related to the .NET file as the error messages I get state the file cannot be found.
how and where I can get it and what I do with it when I've got it?
I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).
I'm in the midst of developing a class library DLL for a third party application. On my machine, the developers machine, things are going along smoothly. I can compile/build and my DLL is loaded, and thus works as expected.
I've been copying the contents of the Release directory from C:Solutions...Release to C:ProgramDirectory. I realize now that my DLL is loaded into memory from the Release folder, and not the folder I copied it to.The point being of course, I want to distribute this third-party add-in to my users. And sure enough when I try that, presumably the DLL isn't loaded into memory and thus not available to the user, like it is on my machine.
I tried the first obvious thing and registering the DLL on the user's machine, but that failed."The module "..." was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found." It's apparent I am missing some key step or caveat when it comes to developing this class library.
VB2005: So I created an app that connects to an Oracle 9.2.0.1 using the .net oracle adapter. I can issue queries and process the results. This all works fine on my development machine but now that i have distributed the app to my group I find that it bombs on certain workstations, specifically when it comes to connecting to the Oracle db. I've done a little bit of research but havent come up with anything definitive.
So what should I install on my users desktops to make sure that the connection works?
I'm trying to send my program (a very small program) to a friend by email, but the two methods I've tried are both causing errors at his end. I've tried the two methods described in the helps files - firstly, just finding the exe in it's folder, compressing and sending it by email. That worked for the first few files but now it no longer works. Secondly I've tried publishing the file using the build option to a DVD/CD (i.e file). The file works fine to install the program on my own machine, but when I send it to my friend (compressed again) he gets errors.
On Windows 7, VB.NET Express, I have developed a simple Forms application. I don't really make use of any external plugins or anything - it just has a couple buttons, pictureboxes, GDI operations to modify some images.And now it is complete. And I would like to already upload it. But, since this is actually the first time I try to submit something, what other details should I keep in mind when distributing my application? I mean stuff like... will my application work as expected in other machines? Other Windows versions? I am not in a proper position to test it in other machines, I fear, so I am relying the "default" settings and hoping it will simply work.
I already made a project using Visual Studio 2010 (Visual Basic) and my database connected to SQL Server 2008 R2, also set up a PC 1 act as a server and the other is client i set this up for beta test.
I'm having issue about putting an IP Address to the server pc, actually if the IP setting of the server pc "Obtain IP Address automatically", i can open my application in the client pc, but once i put IP Address on the server PC i cannot open/run my application to the client pc, i cant figure it out how can i fixed this issue.
I am using VB .NET 2003. I have created a user defined Class Library and created a reference to it in my application. Is there a way I can compile the application so that the Class Library DLL is embedded into the application? I would really like to be able to distribute the application without having to distribute the DLL as a second a file.
In other words, I made a New Class Library lets say called TEST. I developed a new class within this library called MYCLASS. I built the Library TEST and created TEST.DLL. I then made a new visual basic project called APP1. I added a reference to TEST.DLL. I now can use TEST.MYCLASS within my APP1 project. The application APP1.EXE will run in the test environment, but if I move it to the runtime environment it will give me an error "File or assembly name TEST or one of its dependencies was not found". To correct this error I can place TEST.DLL in the directory where APP1.EXE resides. I would prefer not to have to put TEST.DLL in the directory. Can I easily compile it into APP1?
I am using Microsoft visual basic 2010 and SQL server 2008.I develop a small database application and it run well on my pc.I built and distributed the application to other pc on the same network, but when I run the application from other pc I got error message like this:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)[code]
I started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..

I have a table "People" with the following columns:
-FullName (nvarchar not null) -DOB (datetime null)
I want to write a LINQ to SQL to group the people by age, like following result:
Age 19: 4 ppl Age 20: 5 ppl Age 21: 6 ppl Here's my try: Dim query = From ppl In db.People _ Select New With {.Age = DateTime.Now.Year - CDate(ppl.DOB).Year, .CountAge = ppl.Count}
Notice that there are no DOB record for some people in the tables, so these shall not be included. The DOB column has record like this 1982-10-24 10:12:45 AM because it's a DateTime column.
