I have a sql file that i need to use with Visual Basic, im assuming i have to install it as i had to do that with a different sql file, the only difference between the sql file i have now and the other one i had is that the one i need to use with VB has only an sql file and does not have a database file that goes with it, this one is only an sql file. I have opened the file in SQL server management studio express and executed it over and over and it says (1 row(s) affected) (I have attached a screenshot) but nothing happens. If you look in the screenshot, on the left hand side you can see the "Pubs" database, that was the other sql file i had that had a database with it and it installed fine. Im really not sure what else to do with this.

I developed an application in VB.Net where we can export the eml and msg files to a pst file.I was able to do this task using redemption.dll and profman.dll along with outlook 2003 installed.
Now,I want to create a pst file using redemption.dll and profman.dll without installing outlook.Is it possibe to create a pst file without installing outlook?
I'm going to be using a text file to record and save values, line by line, and then pull these values out again upon restarting the application. Almost like a save file of sorts, just for some basic numeric variables.Getting the information in and out won't be too much of an issue, however I am wondering if there is a way that during the installation of this application, I could specify a place to create and save this text file, for eg:
c:ProgramFilesPOSxstocklevels.text
I have VS8 Professional, so I do have the Setup Wizard tool, which may allow me to attach files.
I have devloped a small applicaiton in vb.net. Now i have a requirement where i have to change the contents of a text file while installing the application in to the system

View 4 RepliesThe reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:

printProcess.Start()

I want to know if it's possible to move a file from the file system into my applications resources.And if so, how?

View 1 RepliesFor 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 need to some how integrate 2 .exe files, and 1 batch file into my project. I don't like them sitting out in the open, and this will look neater. What I mean is, when I run a command like, "Shell("cmd.exe /C Ping " & TextBox1.Lines(26))", and I have a .exe named ping in the program directory, it will open that console executable, and then to ping etc. I want to somehow pack the .exe and batch with the program.

View 1 RepliesI have found that i can add some resources as images and i could use them using my.resources.now i want to know how can i use the same way to save something to a text file in the resources and then load the saved text.
View 4 RepliesYou know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.
The text file name is "lise" I can read it like this
Dim lines As String = My.Resources.lise
TextBox1.Text = lines
but how do I write to it?
I've created an attribute, similar to the ToolboxBitmapAttribute, that allows you to associate an Icon or Image to a class.
To associate an image, the resource file base name, a type (to find the assembly), and the name of the resource are passed to the attribute constructor. I then use the ResourceManager to get access to the resource:
Dim rm = New ResourceManager(ResourceFileBaseName, passedType.Assembly)
Dim obj = rm.GetObject(resourceName)
This is fine except that I want the option to pass just the resource name in the constructor, and omit the resource file base name. Then I would pick up the resource from the default resource file. When I say default resource file, I mean the one when you start Visual Studio, open the property pages and click the Resources tab.
The problem is, when developing in VB.Net, the base name is 'RootNamespace.Resources', and when developing in C#, the base name is 'Rootnamespace.Properties.Resources'.
Where can I programatically find the name of the default resource file?
Update
What I can do is get a list of all resource names:
t.Module.Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames
I can then look for a name that ends with Resources.resources and use that to build the resource file base name.
How Can I Copy & Paste Lets Say Test.txt Or Test.exe From My.Resources To "C:\Temp\" ???
