Include A Referenced File Within Compiled Program?
Mar 30, 2011
In my code I reference certain excel files by listing the paths and names within my code. I've herd that if I put my excel files in bin/debug/ then I no longer need the path and can simply refer to them by name. This has not worked out well for me. how I can add a file to my project reference it by name in the code and have it compiled with my program so that other's (without that paticular path) can use my program. I have also added them as an "Item" and have their properties referenced as an "Embedded Resource", but still no luck. Maybe i'm just calling them wrong? Below is my code....
Dim file1 As String = "C:
etworkpathmyfile.xlsx"
Dim hdrftr As Object
[Code]....

G'day all, I need to read a text string from a file, then convert it to an enumeration, based on a list of enumerations that is contained in a .h file located elsewhere. The .h file consists of about 300 lines that look like: [Code] This results in 2 problems, can I include the .h file in my VB program, and if so, how? And then, once I read in the string, how to make the program convert it to the corresponding enumeration for output?

My program needs to read data from a few Excel files that my company has made, basically a database I guess. Is there a way I can put the actual Excel files into my program so that the user doesn't have to supply them? Or perhaps there's an easy way to turn the Excel file into a database?

I am new to VB and Visual Studio. Using VB 2010 express edition. I am making a VB project and from from inside that i want to be able to run a batch file that i already have.
My problem is i am not able to import this in my project. I tried adding it in the project from solution explorer but when i run the program its not able to find it. I am able to execute it when i copy that batch file somewhere on disk and then giving absolute path but not by including it inside my project.

When I publish my program I get no errors, and then when I install it on another machine it says it gives me the error that it can't read the txt file that it stores data in. If I hit continue it also fails to read the database. The database file is stored in the bin/debug folder and I told my program to include it when I first added the data connection. Anything I can do to have these included so my program can run on other machines?

I am not a programmer or anything like that but I have managed to create a little program.The program is for work. It is VERY simple - it adds a few figures the user inputs and then generates a text output so the user can copy and paste it to a customers diary notes on the customers account.Here's the problem: It works on the managers computer but not on the consultants computers who will be using it! The reason it doesn't work is because the normal consultants computers don't have .NET installed :( The solution is simple - install .NET! lol however the company I work for is quite massive (corporate size) and our department is quite small and insignificant so if we want to install something like .NET on all the consultants computers it will take around 6-8 weeks! Now we desperately need to start using this mini program ASAP! Is there any humanly possible way to run a Visual Basic program without installing .NET? Is there some kind of file I can download and put in the folder of the mini program that will allow it to work?

I've a requirement to have PreCompiled webpages and Non-PreCompiled webpages under same application. For example below is my structure:
/Bin
/Test1 (PreCompiled)
/Test2 (NonPreCompiled)
/Test3 (PreCompiled)
I would like these to have their separate "Bin" folders too if possible at all (I tried using "Probing" but I guess that's not allowed for web apps and defaults to "Bin" folder). If not that then definitely some ability for these to work together under one app/virtual directory because I'm not allowed to create another at any cost :(

I need to prove that a VB.NET program that I wrote was written at a particular time.
(the reason is an academic integrity investigation where someone copied my code).
I have all the code on my disk including the debug and release folders, with my username in the build paths.
Are their addition things I could do, such as looking in the binaries?

I've written an app in VB 2008.using .net framework 3.5
It uses a MySQL database.No app.config file for settings, I had this, but removed it when troubleshooting :S
Error is this.
When I compile in VB2008, it runs flawlessly, no issues.I added a setup wizard so I can distribute the project as well.When I put this on a client machine, it installs fine, but on the program run, this exception is thrown.[code]...

I have some programs written in VB2010 using functions from a DLL. I have compiled and run these programs on a 32bit XP computer and a 32bit Win7 computer and have had no problems accessing the DLL.I have published an installation of these programs and tried running the install on a 64bit Win7 machine and the installation is performed correctly. It installs the programs and copies the required DLL into the same folder. the problem is that whenever I run the software and try to access the DLL I get errors.
The error says something like:
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007000B)
If I click past it the software runs and all of the forms are loaded properly, but anytime in the software if I try to access the DLL I get the same error.I am declaring functions in the DLL like this:
Public Declare Function OpenDriver Lib "OP815M.DLL" (ByVal handle_Renamed As Integer) As Integer
I have also tried placing the DLL in the system32 directory and also the sysWOW64 directory and that did not help as well.I do recall that hardware drivers need to be properly signed and pass the Microsoft Logo testing. Must I get the DLLs I am using properly signed?
Edit: Also it might be fair to mention that I have used the DLL with another program written in C, which would run in the DOS command line in Windows and it correctly accesses the DLL on a 64bit machine, but just when run from the DOS command line in windows.

I'm making a program from witch one could run an application with different credentials.I can compile the program successfully, but when I press the button to run the program I get the following error: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.The system cannot find the specified file.The code behind the button is as follows:
Dim myProcess As System.Diagnostics.Process = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "c:
un.bat /user:kreathyr c:getlogin.exe"
myProcess.Start()
Getlogin.exe does nothing but show the logged in username and run.bat utilizes the runas command.

I develop an application through two multi project solutions.There is one solution for the data layer stuff and another one for the front end stuff.All the dlls are referenced in a startup project and have copy local = true. So the build output from the GUI solution and the dlls referenced from the data layer solution should be copied to this startup project's bin folder. This seemed to work without issue for some time, but after changing source control, after a rebuild of the data layer solution, I clean the GUI solution and get the following output: [code] I have researched this problem and it seems microsoft are aware of a problem, logged under MSB3061... but no solutions have been posted by MS. Several users have suggested stopping the indexing service from indexing bin and obj folders (I've done this). I've also ensured that none of the bin/obj folders are under source control. I downloaded FileMon from sysinternals and it says that devenv (GUI) has the file locks.

For the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.

I just tried debugging my game using the green play button, what ever thats called, and upon telling the debugger to break on a few lines, each time it actually hit that respective line, I got an error from vs2010 telling me that the source files were different than they were when the program was compiled...and every time that I USED to change the files, and then debug the program, vs2010 would automatically rebuild the files...

I recently made a small exe program that connects to an Access database.Now it runs fine on most computers, but the one it HAS to run good on has some pretty harsh restrictions set on it's network.The problem is an OLEdb connection is refused because the file is not trusted on the Network, and I don't know how to give it the access it needs.I've tried running an install with it, and that will give it access, but only on the local computer and not on the network drives.I've tried placing the database in the network drive and accessing it with the install there, but there is a problem in that the local drives are wiped at logout.I've tried giving it trust access through Administrator Tools, but it always throws an error when I try it.

config files, or dll.config for a class library project (dll). Does the dll have to be compiled for the changes in the config file to take affect?The problem I've noticed is that I add a reference to another solution to my dll, and it still has a connection string that points to the test database, even though I've updated it in the config file.

I've made a program using Visual Basic Express Edition which references MySql.Data.dll (located at C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Connector Net 5.2.3Binaries.NET 2.0MySql.Data.dll) which has been installed on my computer. But when I run my compiled program on a different computer (without MySQL Connector/.NET installed) I am unable to start the program as it gives me an error.
I'm wondering if there is a way to compile the dll with my program so that I wouldn't have to install MySQL Connector on the only computer it'll be executed on (I'm not sure if I have the privilege to install programs on it yet).Or is there a way I could import the dll at runtime which is located in the same directory as my .exe?

Ok i know your all denying knowledge of VB6 here but it still exists and people are still stuck with it for now! Plus youre a brainy bunch so i hope you can help, it is more .Net related anyway i think.Ok ive inherited an old VB6 app that needs to access a VB.Net dll and im having issues with it!Ive compiled the DLL and made sure all the Com boxes are ticked so ive now got a .DLL and a .TLB file.
Now when i load up the VB6 app and go to add a reference to the TLB file it makes the reference ok but when i run the app i get a "xxxxx.dll cannot be loaded" error when it hits code trying to use it.What ive tried is running Regasm against the DLL with the regfile option to generate a registry file that i can load onto my machine but it still gives that error.
im not sure exactly how to get a .Net dll into vb6 tbh so im just fumbling my way with it. What i think has happened is a previous version of the DLL was registered on the machine, has since been deleted but the system is still trying to use the earlier one, reference pointers still around?
So my questions are 1. how can i clean the machine out , apart from formatting it!, so i can register the new DLL properly and cleanly on it. 2. What exactly is the right way to get a .Net component into an old VB6 app? I was assuming it was by using the TLB and making a reference to that, it wont let me add a reference stright to the DLL itself.

Trying to integrate the google closure compiler in a batch job of mine and having difficulty getting it to work.Using command prompt I can enter the following command and get my scripts compiled. (The command is a self explanatory example)
java -jar "compiler.jar" --js_output_file="myOutput.min.js" --js="input1.js" --js="input2.js"
I have tried to replicate this using the System.Diagnostics.Process object but thus far have failed.I have tried
Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
process.Start("compiler.jar", command)
And I have tried
Dim command As String = BuildCommand(CompilationScripts, Me._Output)
Dim process As New Process
process.StartInfo.Arguments = command

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?
I created a wrapper for DocTools, so I could have the command line piped to a text box and then I could obtain the Topics from there and save them in an INI file that I read when I call the help, but I don't know how to pipe the command line to a textbox.
