View 4 RepliesI want to display a message box to inform a user of a requirement. In this case, the requirement is to insert a USB flash drive. This is easy enough:
MessageBox.Show(blah, blah, blah)
This message box will only have an OK button. What I need to happen is this:The OK button should not be available (enabled) until after the flash drive has had a chance to initialize. We will say this takes 2-4 seconds. So how to I keep the OK button disabled during this time and then enable after the time has passed?

How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.
I'm self-taught in VB.net, having been a VB6 developer for years. I'm now out of the field but I'm making a forms app that I need for my new business. I am using VB2008 Express, and I'll upgrade to later versions when necessary. Because I am self-taught I mostly work from examples and there's a lot about .NET I don't understand.
SITUATION:I've built a Usercontrol. (A custom datetimepicker which I call "datebox"). Then in my application project, I add it to the toolox, then plunk it on a form. It works great so I use it many times in my project, each time with a various properties. No problem so far.

I made a little program for Hobby-use, and I like it to be installed by an installer. There's an installer program (Windows Installer 3.1?) deliverd with Visual Studio 2008 but that does not do the job completely. I want a coupling to be made between a program and a the users startup directory.If Windows Installer 3.1 can do that after all, can somebody explain how? If not, is there a free or low cost, simple to use (no scripting) installer program what will do the job? At last: Is there a version of .NET Framework 3.5 that does not require downloading during the user's setup procedure?

I have an interface (called IPersistentBusinessObject) with a required function that looks like this:
Function GetFields(ByVal fromDatabase As clsODBCDatabase) As enumSuccessFailure
In a class, I try to satify the requirement with the following:
Public Function GetFields(ByVal fromDatabase As clsDatabase) As enumSuccessFailure Implements IPersistentBusinessObject.GetFields
In this example, clsDatabase inherits from clsODBCDatabase. So I'd expect this to work since clsDatabase does everything clsODBCDatabase does and more. However, it does not work. The compiler complains that I haven't properly satisifed the interface requirements for GetFields. Can anyone tell me why this does not work?In slightly different but related example, I have an interface that requires a function called 'AddItem' as in:
Sub AddItem(ByVal objObject As IPersistentBusinessObject)
In my 'building' class, I attempt to satisfy this requirement using:
Public Sub AddItem(ByVal building As clsBuilding) Implements IPersistentBusinessCollection.AddItem
In this example, clsBuilding implements the interface IPersistentBusinessObject. So I'd expect this to work since clsBuilding satisfies the interface contract. However, it does not work. The compiler complains that I haven't properly satisifed the interface requirements for AddItem. why this does not work?

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?

I have a XML file with the latest application version number, I have this loaded into a variable, how can i compare this against the application.info.version to see if it's the latest version??
View 3 RepliesEvery time I compile my app and the version number changes (I have an auto-incrementing build number), I lose the user-configured app.config settings, since they're stored in the AppData folder for a specific version. Essentially, every release of my application starts from scratch as far as user settings go.
While this is a mild annoyance in development, it raises the question as I approach deployment/release - if I use the app.config to store my user settings, will the user's personalized settings be hosed every time they install a patch that changes the version number of my app? If so, is there an easy way to "upgrade" the settings from the previous release? I know that using HKCU in the registry is another option, but I like the ease of the My.Settings namespace, and I'd like to stay with app.config.
I want to open up an existing instance if my program is already running only if its running the same version.I noticed that this question was asked for only if the name exists, but what if the version is older, I just want to notify the user that an older version is still running, "please remove older version before starting this version."The other link is this one:Return to an already open application when a user tries to open a new instance but they don't talk about closing an instance if an older or newer version is detected.

I would like my program to overwrite its previous version such that users don't have to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
I'm guessing it has something to do with setting Publish Version (Major, Minor, Build, Revision), Assembly Version or File Version.
