I need to target an MS SQL compatible MDF file for database entry, but I need a database engine that can be embedded in an application - don't want to run MS SQL Server on every machine where the application is installed.I've been through a lot of documentation without any luck.

View 1 RepliesI am about to develop an application in vb.net 2010, until now I used to connect to database server to manage my data . Now i need to develope an .exe which could run in any pc, so I need somehow to store the data in a local database which is embedded to my application, I see .NET has a local database. My question is a right choice to use a local database for these kind of solutions?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to have letter templates (word documents) that are stored in sql server VarBinary(max) to be accessed via a web application where they will be edited and saved back to sql server by directors of our company. Then various managers will be able to select an existing template (word document), make any additions, and mail merge with a list of customers to print or save the letters.
I am looking to open up word within a web page much like you would an email in outlook, edit it with spell check and the like, and then save it back in sql server. I am able to get word to open from a file but it is outside of the web application in a separate word document. I am storing the word document in sql server but am unable to open it in word without having to save it to a disk (why should you have to go to a disk for viewing or editing?). I am able to programmatically mail merge but that is in a separate word application.
I am finding bits and pieces on the web but nothing that will pull things together such as embedding word but in a windows app not a web app. Mail merge from a file not from a database, converting a byte array to word in a directory but not on a web page.
I am developing a winforms application that will have an offline mode, so that it can access the data if an internet connection (or more accurately, a connection to my WCF service) cannot be established. I have decided to utilize SQL Server Compact edition on the client side of the application & was wondering what the general consensus is on the "best" practice for making the client application (Sql Server Compact) subscribe to the master database (MSSQL 2008).
Management enters information into a web based administration panel that I developed and is stored in a MSSQL 2008 database.After adding / modifying information, they can click a release "datapack" button which will increment a "datapack" version number, which will later be used by the client application to determine if they are in sync or not. When the client application is started, it connects to the internet and determines if the version numbers are in sync. If not, it pulls the information from the server.
That third step is where I'm a bit lost I thought about simply developing a web service that will expose a dataset containing all of the data and just iterating through it doing inserts, but that seems terribly inefficient to me. The full database probably wouldn't amount to much more than 5 MB total, so that led me to think it would be great if when management clicks the release datapack button, it would store the database in a file that could simply be downloaded and would replace the embedded database. Again, I'm a little lost on how that would work. This is my first time working with an embedded database, most of my work has been web/win apps that have real-time access to the data.
I'm using visual studio 2005 to develop a form with a combobox passing a value into the parameter of an embedded crystal report. Why it keeps prompting me for a database login every single time you try to run the report with a different combobox selection.
Here is my code:
private Sub Form1_load...
Dim ConnName As String
Dim ServerName As String
Dim DBName As String
Dim user As String
Dim pass As String
[Code] .....
I looked at this previous posting [URL]. I couldn't find where a CMC was to disable the prompt.
can anyone please explain to me how I get the file path to an embedded video resource file I have?Currently I know how to get this while debugging, but I am unsure how to refer to it when built.It needs to work no matter where the application files are.[code]

View 9 RepliesI am embedding an xsd file into my console program so I can use it to parse XML files into a datatable which I then will parse and process into a text file and into a database. I have embedded the file and can access it by going to My.Resources.LinerTester. This will return a string, but in order to use it on the Dataset.ReadXmlSchema method I have to convert it to an XSD, otherwise I get an error saying invalid characters. How can I take the embedded resource and convert it to an XSD file? I know the XSD file works fine, if I read it from a location on the hard drive it will process the XML files into a dataset just fine, so the file itself is valid.

I'm having problems running a swf file from a url.This is my code (Very Basic)
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub AxShockwaveFlash1_load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxShockwaveFlash1.Enter
Dim swfLocation As String = ("http://pinger.com/textfree/textFree_web.swf")
[code]....
As I said it's very basic at the moment. But I discovered by going to [URL] and look at the source that if I remove the flashvar tag I get the same result as i'm getting in my program. So I thought, hey I need to add flashvars to my script. I first tried it in the property window but that didn't work. The field stayed blank when I clicked away. Then i tried it by using code to set the flash var, still no luck.The goal is to embed this service into a program i'm developing so clients can send and, most importantly, receive text messages with a valid phone number.
In Visual Studio 2008 I tried to add xml file as embedded resource. During compilation the embedded resource item was simply ignored and the resource I expected to find in resulting dll was not there. I tried several times with no positive effect. Finally I decided to rename the file, so it does not have xml extension. As soon as I changed the extension to (it was .en in this case) Visual Studio started picking the file up and embedding it as part of the assembly. I could not find any any documentation on that odd behavior. Does anyone know if that is expected, and, if so, why ?
View 10 RepliesI use Vb.NET from VS 2010 I use a SQL File to run a script, when changes to the database should be done.This works fine for me.

I seem to be having some trouble finding anything to help me iterate through objects in an embedded resource file.What I have got, is a bunch of resource files that each have a library of sound wav files.What I'm trying to do is cycle through them all and add their name to something like a list box.I found a couple of snippets online that do this but for external resources. Here is what they do.

My application needs to extract an embedded file (OLE object) from an excel 2003 document to a file on disk. This file can be any type, not only an Office document. Searching in the web it seems to be possible by copying OLE object to Clipboard and later copying (binary) it to a file (¿perhaps using MemoryStream and FileStream?), but I see no working code about this.
