An update to my program has been downloaded to a particular folder. The code recognizes that the file is there
(i.e. "If IO.File.Exists(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "UpdatesPQCM.exe) Then),
Sets the update location to that file and initiates the click-once update subroutine. Problem, I don't know how this update feature can be modified this way in run-time. I would set the update location using the solution properties but this program may exist anywhere on the hard drive, or even on a thumb drive (as per its design).
I'm currently working on a project that has a simple game . I want to change the location of a label ( middle ) to another location when a key is pressed down. But there is something wrong with the first of the If statement .I've underlined "point " because it has the error.
Private Sub Space_Navigator_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then If middle.Location = [u]Point[/u](156, 655) Then middle.Location = New Point(156, 547) End Sub
When i publish my program i choose to let the application check for updates via a website and if their is one update automatically when the program starts. Is their a way were on the main user form i can make it so that the user can change the update site with out me building the program again with the new site. I want to do this becuase the site i use goes down alot so when i changed the update url no one was able to download the update for the new update server.
Is there anyway to update a new location and keep it once the app closes? Right now I have the default location hard coded in textboxes but I'd like to be able to update these locations when needed without having to re-compile everything. I've tried searching but I must not be wording it correctly... all I get are how to open files using openfiledialog or filebrowserdialog.
I have a gridview in which when I click edit, update, and cancel button comes. I have a variable named status. If status=false then update should change to insert and if status=true then update should be update itself.
I have the Context Menu Options like ( Small Font , Large Font ) based on the selection I want to change the size of the Font in the Controls,Control's Size & location(x,y,height,width). The resize of the controls should not affect the look and feel of the forms.
Why is it sometimes when I update a data using da.update(ds), the data sometimes didn't update or change... for example i want to change the name or number n a record, sometimes there is no changes..
I have created a program that uses a 3rd party dll, and has been added as a reference. Is there any easy way to change where vb.net, looks for this dll file? Currently it is dropped in the same location as my main exe, but would rather it looked in the system32 directory. I have googled and tried changing the app.config file, and dont really understand AppDomain.

It's very difficults and waste the time because I have many report. how to set up location only 1 place and impact to many report.

I wanted to know is it posible to change My.Settings location.. for example, not in user folder (dont remember in witch folder, but i know it was in some users folder..), but save in application folder?Cos i write programs portable, so they work if the folder with my program is moved even to different PC..It would be a great if i could use my.settings and store in the application path..Cos i have tried to save in registry, xml file, ini file, and they all are pain in the a*s..
I am making a program (obviously), and when the user presses UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT I would like to move the label's location correspondingly. Here is my code so far, but it does not work:
I need to holds the common settings for all of the apps ona server (UNC path). Previously I used an ini file on the server and the application was told to look there via a command switch.
I understand that I'm trying to use .net in an old fashioned way by not packaging it for web update & delivery but that's a contraint of the architecture I need to work with.
Is there any way to force my application to use the application.exe.config file from a set location rather than the user data area that .net automatically writes it to? Even if not on a server path, then in the application directory where we can push update it?
The code works except for setting the location. The location is initially set to {X = -3 Y = -3} and it will not change. I have tried to set it to new Point(1440, 0) and that does not work. One interesting thing I found was if I declared the new instance of the form locally inside my main form rather than in the module, then the initial location is set to {X = -1 Y = -1} and I can change it no problem. However anytime the code leaves the main form, the instance disappears hence why I declare it as public in the module. I used the same code to create a new instance of the main form as well and there are no problems.
I'm developing a program at the moment and I'm trying to add the capability to add a texbox everytime you click a button. This is simple other than I'm trying to be efficiant as possible, so I made a sub that creates the textbox and the button calls the sub. Here is where it gets tricky I want the new textbox to move just below the previouse textbox, I'm not sure how to do this since Im only really createing one textbox over and over and having a variable name it by one. This souds confusing I know, but check out my code and it will make since. Really all I'm trying to do is change the location of a unknown textbox say since I create a textbox name textbox0 then when I hit the button again my varibale goes up by 1 which makes the new textbox, textbox1. how to I tell VB to change textbox1's location.[code]...
I am trying to write a program where a user of my app can change the link location and label name.
At work we have testing scenarios that change at different locations, and instead of me sending updates every week, allow the user to update the link and label name by appending a file or db to pull the information?
I am new the Visual Basic and just downloaded 2008, and I am wanting to make a program with a button that will run a .exe that is in the same location as the program/
if i change it under settings it is working but i want to be able to change it in my running application, or when the application is opened for the first time i should be able to put in die path for the database.
