View 2 RepliesI'm developing a web application that requires the user to log in using forms authentication. inside the webpage you need to download a desktop application that requires to login to the same system too.

View 2 RepliesI have a (very) simple WCF written in VB which I can build and publish locally to IIS. Works great.
What I need to do is (somehow) deploy it to a different server which does not have IIS. It's supposed to be run as a windows service.
how to do this. All directions on MSDN seem to be for VS 2010 (we're using 2008).
I have a customer which as a Visual Basic Project in single instance mode with a wired presentation logic.
The main form contains a TabControl with mutliple TabPages.If I click on TabPageA another form is shown in front of the Form and resized to have the same size as the TabPage.
If I click on TabPageB the first form is hidden and another form is displayed.So basically for the user it looks like you have a TabControl with different TabPages which is not the case.
I tried converting the Forms to UserControls and put them inside the TabPage, but, thanks to the SingleInstance app, this would take a whole lot of refactoring. I tried it but eventually gave up because of many many runtime errors and I don't want to put any more effort in this.

View 9 RepliesI have an application that creates desktop shortcuts. To do this I have to reference the Windows Script Host Object Model. When I add it as a reference, it always creates the DLL, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, in the objx86Debug directory, then references itself to it, rather than looking at wshom.ocx. Even if I add reference wshom.ocx it reverts to saving the file in the objx86Debug directory. The problem is if I move my application to another computer without that DLL being present, the program fails to run.
