IDE :: How To Make The General Deployment
Jun 13, 2009
i successfully deployed one application but some small small issues coming in that...Here i want clarify some common doubts in redistributable components...I created one windows application in VS 2008 with C# as language and SQLServer 2005. I created msi setup application in vs 2008 itself. My application includes 2 third party tools. One is for skin and another is for capture images from different devices like camera, web cam etc...Database i deployed is sqlexpress 2005
Generally i added the following prerequisites:
1. Dot Net Framework 3.5
2. Windows Installer 3.1
3. Crystal Report basic runtime for vs 2008 (x86, x64)
4. SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (x86)
For all these i have no doubts except 4th one.Other than these prerequisistes my first third party tool(for skin) include Visual C++ 2005 Runtime. For this i tried Visual C++ Runtime included in the VS 2008 prerequisites but not worked. So i downloaded Visual C++ 2005 for x86 and x64 and create the custom prerequisites using "Bootstrapper Manifest Generator" and its working successfully For the second third party ocx component (for live video from devices) they telling the following compenents other than ocx component.
a. MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll)
b. DirectX 9 runtime or better
c. Windows Media format runtime files (they gave wmfdist.exe)
I told the system OS requirement is Windows XP SP2 or Vista. Architecture 32 bit and 64 bit(with conditions)
1. I didnt include the 3 MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll) in my setup application Yes i not included the these dlls. But i didnt get any error up to now. I think XP SP2 included these files. Any problem raises in vista or somthing other machines if i leave these files or these files updated when i installed that Visual C++ 2005 runtime? Because when i search MFC libraries i got the result as visual c++ runtime. Please clear about this and tell the i want to include or not?
2. I didn't include DirectX 9 runtime I dont have any common doubt in this because mostly sp2 inludes directX only. But if i inluded these can you give the latest and best redistribution component download link? I dont know is this component differe 32 bit or 64bit?
3. I didnt include Windows Media format runtime files This also i dint included but not got any issues. But some customer told that grains like coming in the live screen. Is this because of unavailability of these component? For include this i didnt got the download link. But i download the sdk from the following link...
[URL]
I installed and i got the same wmfdist.exe as the third party gave. My doubt here is is this support for vista also .. Any incompatabiliy for 64 bit.? if then can anyone give the 64 bit redistribtuion component download link also.
4. SQL Express 2005 Express 64Bit As this application want to support 64 bit also...i want to include 64 bit express edition. But i think the 64 bit support is express advanced version only. Here my problem is if i download tht i cant create custom prerequisites for sql express because i am not well in this.

Is it possible to make a setup and deployment project in VB.net 2008, every site i have looked at on google says to just select it from the project list. It isnt in the project list for me to select.Are these types of projects not available in the express version?How can I make an installer, other than using one of the setup and deployment projects? (I know there is a publish button, but that doesn't make a proper installer and installs to the appdata folder which is not what i want it to do)

any1 has any ideas on how to code a patch maker, (binary differential update) so when i run my patch maker, it output a program (*.exe) that will update files on another machine or local machine, assuming that old files to be updated to a new file having the same data in result;
and also the output patcher should be smaller in size (compressed)currently wad i could think of is a very very simple one but totally useless and not efficient and result large file size patch
1. where mine is read both file data
2. is both byte the same ?
3. [if not same ----> write down the marker value in outputfile1 and byte value in outputfile2]
3. [if same ----> do nothing]
4. read byte if available
5. (marker + 1)
the marker value is how many byte have been advanced so with resulting patcher will read those marker values to advance to the file address (which is the position number) and update accordingly to its byte value outputfile1 is marker values, outputfile2 is byte values corresponding to outputfile1 marker value to advance to the byte position

I have a Visual Basic.Net Windows Forms application to which I am considering adding the WebBrowser control. I'm assuming that the PC's on which this application will ultimately be deployed/installed will have the latest Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) updates, a firewall, and an Internet security suite installed/running.
With this deployment environment in mind, does the WebBrowser control make my application or the deployment PC vulnerable to any significant security risks? Are there any programming issues that should be addressed to eliminate potential security risks when using the WebBrowser control?

I am deploying sql express as a prerequisite. I have created a custom prerquisite using bootstrap manifest generator. The problem I have is replacing the template.ini file which exists in the sqlexpr32.exe cab file. Winrar and winzip allow me to open the sqlexpr32.exe but will not allow me to edit, add or replace the template.ini.I also cannot find the path where the sqlexpr32.exe extracts to as I want to use that path for the settings file eg "template.ini".[code]

I have a windows app that uses the shape control which is part of the MS power pack and requires Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll. I am using Publish to build my app and I have tried to change the dll to Include in the properties page but nothing seems to work.
I need a way to have the file included and I am unable to find a external copy and I understand that I cannot just copy the dll from my PC into the installation folder

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

This is going out to the forum at large. Where can I find the most complete explanation of the use of the DataGridView control in VB.Net? Any publication, or on-line reference except MSDN, please. I can never make heads or tales of MSDN.
Likewise, a complete tutorial on the usage of XML within the .Net Framework would be appreciated. Same qualifications as above.

whipped up this code real quick which uses a ThreadPool on Form Load to iterate through my subnet and tell me if there's a device communicating at each IP address.
some questions: Why am I able to update BOTH my label at the top AND the listbox, but I'm only using an .Invoke on the Listbox?How can I know how many threads are currently being used while that is executing?
What does the SyncLock do?I'm aware some people don't like the use of Application.DoEvents(). Is it ok to be using it in this instance or is there a better practice?For those wanting to try it out, drag a Label and a Listbox to a new form. Label is called "currentIPTextbox", Listbox is default name.

I have a MustInherit Parent class with two Child classes which Inherit from the Parent.How can I use (or Cast) Me in a Parent function as the the child type of that instance?EDIT: My actual goal is to be able to serialize (BinaryFormatter.Serialize(Stream, Object)) either of my child classes. However, "repeating the code" in each child "seems" wrong.
EDIT2: This is my Serialize function. Where should I implement this function? Copying and pasting to each child doesn't seem right, but casting the parent to a child doesn't seem right either.

I'm making a program to protect custom game files from being copied as best I can, however there are a couple things I need to account for. Some of them I have, others, I have not been able to find information on. When the files are not in use, I have them fully encrypted and hidden from the lay user through a bunch of other tricks (+s attribute, for example). However, I would also like to prevent copying these files while they are being used by the game - obviously I cannot have them encrypted while the game is attempting to read from them.
This opens up a hole, which I have also tried to deal with, but I know my attempts in this regard are less than thorough:
Stop several known well-known copy programs from operating during operation, that being Windows Explorer, Teracopy, and cmd
Now, the other solution I was thinking of was a filesystemwatcher object scanning the better part of the computer for any copies of these files located outside of the "OK" directory, but I'm a bit skeptical as to whether or not this would be very efficient. Any ways to make copying these files difficult without rendering them unusable to the program.

If you have a separately declared PUBLIC INTERFACE and then IMPLEMENT that INTERFACE.
1) My general question: Is an INTERFACE simply a means to ensure that a CLASS implements all the methods defined in an interface and to ensure that they can only be implemented once?
I have noticed that a method that IMPLEMENTS an INTERFACE method can still have overloads though. :-)
If so, when combined with INHERITANCE though I believe I can finally see the use for defining an INTERFACE!!
2) Do you have to use an interface when linking to a VB6 project ( is this via Component Object Model or COM ) and if so, do any attibutes need to be applied when doing so?
Here is a code snippet.
creating a PUBLIC INTERFACE outside of any CLASS. I guess this would not normally be done from an OOP point of view?

Implements Whatever

url...I'm working on a simple MP3 player and are stucked on some Treview.Click and Listview.Items.Add problems which I cant seem to get past.What I'm trying to do is first with a button launch a FolderDialog to get folder path, when this is done I add the directories and subdirectories to tvFolders1 (Treview)For the whole procedure for this see classes LoadFolderTree(), LoadDir() and tvFolders1_AfterExpand.This seems to work just fine and no problems as far as I can see The we add a feature where user click on the Treeview (tvFolders1) and we are supposed to do the following: On tvFolders1_AfterSelect (when the user actually select something)I am the trying to add Items and subitems to the lvFiles control (Listview)[code]Now adding items and subbitems goes just fine if I:
1. Do not clear the ListView lvFiles in the Class tvFolders1_AfterSelect But I need that, I want the listview to be cleared before adding new items/subitems or we end up with an enormous list
2. Only add more items to the ListView without doing anything more
If I clear the ListView lvFiles in the class tvFolders1_AfterSelect the application will simply freeze and crash after clicking on any item in TreeView tvFolders1So basically somewhere in my code there is something causing this and that's were I need help, I where hoping someone could figure out what I need to do..I have pasted the whole code for that form because I suspect the problems are not in the adding/clicking on items but somewhere else, I do not know though.There is also a "bug/another big problem" in the adding of items/subitems to the lvFiles ListView and that is that the first mp3 file only gets added with file/path and not ID3.
