I'm deploying a standalone application (VB 2005 w/ Crystal Reports) using ClickOnce. My users have different IP addresses that they use to map to the same networked drive. The best way I've come up with to get the installer out to them is to publish it twice manually:
ip.addr.number.001/PublishedHere/001/setup.exe
ip.addr.number.002/PublishedHere/002/setup.exe
And telling them to execute the appropriate installer.
Do we need to have .NetFrameWork Installed on Client's computer, if we make setup by using ClickOnce technology?
View 1 RepliesI am nearing the end of my journey with the application i have spent the last few months working on.
Now my question is this...How do you go about making an installer? Obviously i am sure you have worked out now i mean the exe you click and choose instalation folder/desktop short cut or not/add to start menu. accept the agreement etc
Now i know vb.net has a publisher that i have looked at but is that the same? how to make my application have an installer.
does vb.net have a different way to build an application without using clickonce?
View 2 RepliesI have wriiten several windows app using Visual Studio 2008. All projects but one where the "Updates" button is disabled in the Publish tab. How can I enable it?
View 2 RepliesI have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
I have a question regarding publishing vis ClickOnce. For the publish options, there is a Publishing Folder Location and there is a Installation Folder URL. clarify the difference between Publish and Install, and when it would be apropriate for the two to be different?
View 3 RepliesHow 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 have a service that scans network folders using a parallel.for method. However recently I am finding if I stop the service then while windows says the service is stopped the process is still running in task manager. However it is at 0 cpu and the memory does not change. If I try and end the task (even a force in command prompt) it just says access denied and i have to reboot the server. What would be the best way to make sure everything terminates? I thought of adding a global Boolean that in the stop procedure it turns true and part of my parallel code will check for that and call s.stop.

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
i had an installer application around 2 years ago and it was great. it allowed me to make custom windows with my own images very easily. i can for the life of me remember the name of the program..Does anyone have any application they use to make custom installers?

im using tasks parallel library in .net 4.0 i want to have the ability to specify a task for each core independant of the other cores. usually in TPL, i create a task and i tell it to run in parallel, i have no control over the number of threads created nor can i control the number of cores to participate in the parallel task. also, i cant specify each particular core a different task.i'd like to know how to achieve this in TPL if it is possible.
View 3 RepliesIs there any way of doing parallel processing in VB.net. Like running a IF-ELSE and CASE in parallel.
For example i'm incrementing a counter in a IF-ELSE statement. And for each count i need to display some thing using a case statement.

View 1 RepliesI have been reading up on the parallel programming and even now still a little confused on the whole concepts. Lets say I have a single project with about 5 classes that interact and have local variables in methods and variables accessible to all methods in a single class and even 1 or 2 variables accessible to all classes accessed through instantiation. Now using threads I know that global variables would be overridden by multiple threads if there were no locking applied but local variables to a method/function do not, right?
So if I ran the project multiple times meaning as a new process, the methods and variables would be thread safe right and no data corruption occurs? So to implement parallel programming using the task factory, if I created a project that basically creates tasks and each task is basically running an instance of another project, then shouldn't the variables and data be thread safe and safe from corruption? But what if I had the output files and they named by Output & datetime.now.tostring, would there be conflict issues and I ask this knowing that I have seen this happen when trying it. [Code]
I have an old ClickOnce program, which has been replaced by a new one I wrote, and I am aware that some people are still using the old one.I want to somehow remotely remove it from every computer where it is still being used (there are far too many to manually find them).
View 2 RepliesWhen I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 Windows Forms application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly WindowsBase Version 3.0.0.0 be installed in the GAC first."
When I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 WPF application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance."
Installing .NET 3.5 manualy on the machine solves both problems so it is clear that they both complain about the missing .NET 3.5 that's needed by the app. But why doesn't the ClickOnce installer bootstrap the .NET 3.5 and automaticaly intall it if needed? I set it as a prerequisite but it seems to be ignored. And why is this error so much more criptic and unhelpfull in WPF?
After 18 years of experience developing in VB you have succesfully made this the most difficult deployment method possible

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to publish an application online that will auto-update, as updates will be rather frequent, and I don't want users to have to reinstall every week when a new update is released.However, my host does not support FPE, but I'd still like to use ClickOnce. I found a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

i would like to ask if it is possible to implement clickonce like in vb2008 in vb.net 2003?..example:i have a button "Update" in my application running on local machine...if i click it it will check the remote server if there is an update of that app.if yes then download it an change the application on local machine...

I have this sub :

I suspect this is because it's trying to add the same row twice.
How can i make this work ? Or what else method could I use to do this ?
I need this datatable because my app is writing some results in there, but any other method to store the results that works with parallel.for would be ok.
I have a class written in C#. In it I want to run a certain function in parallel on a list. After it completes on each item I would like to update a progress bar. However, I get very odd behavior from my program. It executes the event and reaches my sub but never proceeds to actually execute any code. Instead it just freezes. (I've mixed vb.net and c#. It will be rewritten at some point)[code]So for some reason I get it to enter progressBar Counter on each item in the list but it never exists. Instead it just keeps the form frozen.
