config files, or dll.config for a class library project (dll). Does the dll have to be compiled for the changes in the config file to take affect?The problem I've noticed is that I add a reference to another solution to my dll, and it still has a connection string that points to the test database, even though I've updated it in the config file.

View 1 RepliesI have an app that reads a directory to get the filenames in a directory for each File in Directory(process file) next file. I want to know if the file size makes a difference to the time it takes to get the filenames.eg if a folder contains 10,000 photos of 1 megapixel and another has a folder of 10,000 photos of 8 megapixels will it take the same time.
View 1 RepliesI've a requirement to have PreCompiled webpages and Non-PreCompiled webpages under same application. For example below is my structure:
/Bin
/Test1 (PreCompiled)
/Test2 (NonPreCompiled)
/Test3 (PreCompiled)
I would like these to have their separate "Bin" folders too if possible at all (I tried using "Probing" but I guess that's not allowed for web apps and defaults to "Bin" folder). If not that then definitely some ability for these to work together under one app/virtual directory because I'm not allowed to create another at any cost :(
For the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.
View 1 RepliesI just tried debugging my game using the green play button, what ever thats called, and upon telling the debugger to break on a few lines, each time it actually hit that respective line, I got an error from vs2010 telling me that the source files were different than they were when the program was compiled...and every time that I USED to change the files, and then debug the program, vs2010 would automatically rebuild the files...
View 2 RepliesI recently made a small exe program that connects to an Access database.Now it runs fine on most computers, but the one it HAS to run good on has some pretty harsh restrictions set on it's network.The problem is an OLEdb connection is refused because the file is not trusted on the Network, and I don't know how to give it the access it needs.I've tried running an install with it, and that will give it access, but only on the local computer and not on the network drives.I've tried placing the database in the network drive and accessing it with the install there, but there is a problem in that the local drives are wiped at logout.I've tried giving it trust access through Administrator Tools, but it always throws an error when I try it.
View 1 RepliesOk i know your all denying knowledge of VB6 here but it still exists and people are still stuck with it for now! Plus youre a brainy bunch so i hope you can help, it is more .Net related anyway i think.Ok ive inherited an old VB6 app that needs to access a VB.Net dll and im having issues with it!Ive compiled the DLL and made sure all the Com boxes are ticked so ive now got a .DLL and a .TLB file.
Now when i load up the VB6 app and go to add a reference to the TLB file it makes the reference ok but when i run the app i get a "xxxxx.dll cannot be loaded" error when it hits code trying to use it.What ive tried is running Regasm against the DLL with the regfile option to generate a registry file that i can load onto my machine but it still gives that error.
im not sure exactly how to get a .Net dll into vb6 tbh so im just fumbling my way with it. What i think has happened is a previous version of the DLL was registered on the machine, has since been deleted but the system is still trying to use the earlier one, reference pointers still around?
So my questions are 1. how can i clean the machine out , apart from formatting it!, so i can register the new DLL properly and cleanly on it. 2. What exactly is the right way to get a .Net component into an old VB6 app? I was assuming it was by using the TLB and making a reference to that, it wont let me add a reference stright to the DLL itself.
In my code I reference certain excel files by listing the paths and names within my code. I've herd that if I put my excel files in bin/debug/ then I no longer need the path and can simply refer to them by name. This has not worked out well for me. how I can add a file to my project reference it by name in the code and have it compiled with my program so that other's (without that paticular path) can use my program. I have also added them as an "Item" and have their properties referenced as an "Embedded Resource", but still no luck. Maybe i'm just calling them wrong? Below is my code....

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?
I created a wrapper for DocTools, so I could have the command line piped to a text box and then I could obtain the Topics from there and save them in an INI file that I read when I call the help, but I don't know how to pipe the command line to a textbox.
I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I'm using visual studio 2008 and creating a Windows For Application.
I'm almost completed my little application and what I've discovered just recently is that any change I made is not taking affect.
What I mean is if I change the display name of a button or insert a msgbox popup, it doesnt make it to the build when I run it. There are no errorswarnings.
I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

I'm going to create some command line tools that make use of some large library DLL's. For security reasons I plan to embed the DLL's in the command line's EXE. Example:Suppose the CL's (command line tool) functionality is to just copy a file from A to B. The procedure to do this is included in a 100MB library DLL. If I would just take out the lines of code from the DLL and paste them in the CL's code then the CL would only be 10Kb.But I don't want to do that, so I embed the full library in the CL's EXE, which will make it 101MB in size.I once read somewhere (cannot remember where) that Windows would only use the part of the EXE that's actually used. So if that's true then it shouldn't matter if the EXE size is 10Kb, 100MB or 1GB.I own the code of the DLL, so if the best solution is to not include the whole DLL but just only link to or include those code files, of the DLL project, that are used by the CL then I will go that way.will the 10Kb CL run faster and consume less memory than the 101MB CL?
View 2 RepliesI have a simple 'Working' form that runs on its own thread to keep the user informed that the application hasn't died during long running operations. In order to get the working form to update I had to insert a DoEvents() call. I'm curious, will this only pump messages for the current thread I'm in, or will it do it for the whole application? I would prefer that the main window stay unresponsive till the operation finishes. Just to be clear, I'm fine with the code I have, but I would like to know how DoEvents() behaves with threads.
Below is the code for the working form.
Public Class frmWorking

i try add new item in the project but i can not see any app.config template.
I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?
