View 2 RepliesI have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to run a program (mame.exe) within a vb program. Mame is a program that allows you to run old video games. The games are stored in rom files. If you want to run mame.exe from a dos prompt, the syntax is "c:/mame.exe [rom]". The [rom] is the particular game you are running. I'm trying to create a front end menu from which I can execute games.
I've tried:
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and I get an error that says it can't find the file.
I tried
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe", "[rom]")
and it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.I tried
Shell("c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and again it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.
which net. framework is needed to let ane .exe file work on another computer??
View 4 RepliesOk, so I'm working with a team of people/programmers and we are all trying to explore the possibilities within Visual Basic 2008. As such, we are all working on our own programs at the same time, but all for one small organization. Well, I'm working on making an installer that will bascially do as follows:
View 4 RepliesI have a custom button in IE8 which starts up my program. Now what I wanted to do, was pass an arguement such as: 'myprogram.exe /ie'
From the IE8 button, and well my program will do rest from there. Now my program adds the button just fine, shows up fine, all that works. But each time i'd add an argument after my application path, IE8 would say it can't find the program. If you want to test this out, goto run, type in gpedit.msc, then 'User Configuration'->'Windows Settings'->'Internet Explorer Maintenance'->'Browser User Interface', and double click on 'Browser Toolbar Customizations'. And in the small window that pops up, is an option for adding custom buttons to IE. I was using this for testing purposes, since it was faster to edit a button here than in my program. When you add a button you choose the executable to link it to. But if you add any arguments after it, IE will simply not be able to find the program. Even if that same command works when you type it from 'run'.
So, now my question is, since apperntly you can't have any arguments in the button, is it possible to detect what executable starts your program? For instance, detect if iexplore.exe started up my program?

View 2 RepliesI have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.

View 2 RepliesI would like to know how can I make an executable file wich deletes itself and the folder it's inside.
I've tried launching cmd, making it wait for 3 seconds and then delete the directory, but it does nothing. The last lines of my code are:
Process.Start("cmd.exe", "/C ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 3000 > Nul && DEL /F /S " & Application.StartupPath)
Application.Exit()
I would like to install a readme.txt file in the same All Programs folder as my application using ClickOnce deployment. The Build Action property is set to "Content" and the Copy to Output Directory is set to "Copy always" for this file. In the Application Files dialog box, Publish Status=Include for the file. After running setup.exe, the app is installed properly in the Start/All Programs/MBCI folder, but the readme.txt file is not there. Is the file installed somewhere else?
View 4 RepliesI am working on a relatively simple program in VB.NET. I am trying to make the installation process as simple as possible for the user.I know its possible to use the executable from the debug directory as a stand alone executable, but are there any drawbacks to this approach? For example, if the user does not have .NET on their machine, the program will not run. Is there a way to publish the program so it is self-contained in a single executable file?
View 4 RepliesIt's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)
I'm using vb.net 2003 and I want to read excel file 2003 using OleDb Connection. But I have a problem when I'm putting the IMEX=1 property on the connection String. But when I have to romove this IMEX property, the system run without an error. Here is my connection string
xlsCon = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & pathName & " ; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;IMEX=1")
I need to put IMEX property so that it tells the driver to always read intermixed (string, integer, date) data type on each cell.
Here is the error I've encountered.

I Actually want to provide a new service which requires creating executables on the fly from executables generated in vb.net. For example lets say I have a form with a textbox and in that textbox we pass an argument which is for example the serial of the product, then we have a button which once clicked will generate an executable on the fly which has also a textbox requiring that serial to run? That was only an example but the main thing is how to generate that exe on the fly.
