After I published my application and then installed it to the same computer i used to develop the application, there was an error during the installation, the data source file was not found in the new location set by VBE 2010. How to make sure data source file will be installed at the pre-defined location? so that there will be no installation error.
View 9 RepliesI have been trying for days now how to create a process to the user to easily create a connection to any installed data types they have installed. I have found an example right inside vb2008. I never use this because I code my own connections, but this would be real nice if I could include it or duplicate it.
View 1 RepliesI am using VS2008 and for the project I am creating, I have a "settings" text file I am using to save user defined settings like color theme, homepage, etcetera. It works fine, however, I am unsure as to how to handle the eventual distributed apps' destination folder/file.
Creating a pre-determined folder/file is easy enough, but what I'd like to do is make it part of the installed folder files, which should be:
I tried creating the file if it wasn't found, however this did not happen (Though I specified the above formatted pathway) perhaps because I was in debug but it should have saved the text file, which it did not and wasn't found anywhere after saving/creating one.
I have the InnoSetup application (Looks great BTW) and see I can include a starting default text file AND make a specific directory for it, but I am unsure as of yet how Inno works exactly, but would prefer testing it through debug before an install anyway. Wish SHOULD be able to be done, am I right?
The odd thing is that although the file was NOT created as specified when creating one, it DID save a setting when I re-ran/debugged the app. (Rather odd, how is this happening I wonder?)
Here is how I am trying to resolve my problem...[code...]
So I am also wondering... if I use the InnoSetup to "set up" the directory and file, and it is according to user-defined destination, how do I reflect that decision in my coding for reading and writting the file?
I could simply use a basic path like C:DATAFILES but this wouldn't be very professional, though fine for development purposes.
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?

View 10 RepliesI installed VS 2005 Beta 2 on a WinXP pro system (numerous times). It finally installed without erreors. It looks like it is basically working - I can create a new windows project and add items from the toolbox, edit the code etc. If I open an existing project (created on another box) things load properly but I cannot open any forms in designer view (I can open them in code view). When I attempt to open a form in design view I get the following error popup:=====================There is no editor available for 'c:....myForm.vb'.Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.
View 12 RepliesI am running VS 2010 Professional and have a solution with 3 VB projects in it. I can open the forms in 2 of the projects just fine but if I try to open any of the forms in the 3rd project I get a message saying "There is no editor available for .....Form1.vb. Make sure the application for file type (.vb) is installed". Everything was working fine last month and I could open any of the forms.
Again the problem is limited to just the 1 project in the solution.
My Visual Studio 2008 seems to be corrupted. I can not use the Windows Forms designer. I get an error about: "Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed." Also, under menu item Tools>Options, it says "an error occurred loading this property page" when I try to look at the options for 'Data UI Customization' under 'Windows Forms Designer'

I m doing a vb.net project merely completed. now while the setup is being installed i need to get the location where the user selected as the target location.
View 1 Repliesi published an application in vb.net. the user will be able to install the application anywhere they choose on the computer (or perhaps not anywhere they choose but where ever the default location is). how can i programmatically get the location where the user installed the application? another words i need the application to know where it is running from. how do i detect that?

So I do not have a clean application that i can uninstall. The shared folder is now deleted, but if I try to deploy locally, the error is thereI installed the app on a third PC in a shared folder and uninstalled it afterwards. I can deploy and start the app on this third PC (but at the moment it is uninstalled there) .What file / entry in a file can I delete that I can install my application locally again (it runs in the debugger of the IDE)?

View 6 RepliesI used the ODBC Data Sources admin panel to create a "data source" for an ".mdb" file. This was very easy. I can access the mdb (database) file via an ODBC driver, locally. However I need to access this data source over the network. Can anyone please help me learn how to make this same database available on the host's network interface? Perhaps there is a tutorial, video, or some other documentation that explains how to modify a data source to make it available on the network. I am using Windows XP. I hope this does not require a special Windows server distribution.
View 11 RepliesI am currently developing a Windows Service in VB 2010. The service depends on two binary files and one text data file that contain connection information for the app. At this time I have an installer setup with the service so that when I build the service and then the installer I get a setup.exe and MSI file.
I added the three additional files to the installer project and notice that they get placed in the application folder, that is, in the same folder as the application, when the setup app is run. For the two binary file this is ok and actually required, but
I would like the data file to go into the docs and settings, <user name>, Applications Data, <AppName> folder, NOT the Application folder as it defaults to. The Folder property in the properties dialog box for the data file allows me to select Application Folder, User Desktop or User Program Menu as the location of the file on the target machine, but none that will let me select where I want the file to go.
Is there any way to tell the installer where I want the data file to go? Since the installer itself is a project with code, perhaps I can add code to manually create the data folder for the application and then copy the data file from the application folder
to the data folder, but I am not sure of this.
I have the following Query:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Muffins
WHERE OvenLoadId IN (
SELECT OvenLoadId
[code]....
The idea of the query is that I want to specify an OrderId, and I want all Oven Loads that have items from that order in them, as well as ALL OTHER ITEMS in those loads, even though they could be from other orders.The query works as expected, but I'm not able to use it for my Crystal Report I've written it for.I have put this query into a User Defined Function, however I'm unable to use a call to that function as a table source in my Crystal Report. I am using Visual Studio 2003 (I know it is old, the client refuses to upgrade).
I refreshed my data sources to include additional items from the SQL Server databases and it appears that my entire data source from my VB.NET project disappeared.I am using Entity Framework. I may have clicked on something wrong, not quite sure. Unfortunately I can't recreate the Data Source without creating a new Entity and Data Model.I can delete the entry in the App.Config file and recreated it, however things aren't quite right.Is there a way that I can recreate my Data Source from the entry that is in my App.Config file...since that appears to have remained intact.BTW, I can go to my Data Model and successfully refresh from there, however my project isn't connecting to the database so I have quite a number of errors until I can get reconnected.
View 4 RepliesThis should be very simple but I'm very new to Visual Studio so I can't get it to work. I want to take data from an excel (2003) file and turn it into a bunch of charts that would be viewable on a webpage that I'm trying to build in Visual Studio .Net 2005 professional.
I can't seem to use an excel file as my data source, here are the steps that I've followed:
1) created a new asp.net project
2) dragged a report viewer from the toolbox and it asks me to choose a report or "Design New Report."
3) Clicked Design New Report, and it opened up a new blank report.
4) Clicked "Add New Data Source" and got the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard.
5) Clicked new connection and it brought up the Add connection table.
6) Clicked "change" under data source and I chose Microsoft ODBC Data Source (not sure if that's right.)
7) Under "Data source specification" I chose "Excel Files"
- The first time I did this it brought up a window for me to choose an excel file so I did. Something along the way failed out but it stilled saved "ConnectionString1" as a connection to that first excel file. Now every time after I choose "Excel Files" and click "OK" the add connection window disappears and it goes back to the Table Adapter Configuration Wizard with the "ConnectionString1" as the connection string. It won't let me specify any different excel file. So I did 1-6 again and picked up at 7B
7B) Instead of using "Use user or system data source name:" I chose "Use connection string:" and clicked Build.
8) Picked the "Machine Data Source" tab and chose "Excel Files" and clicked ok
9) The "Select Workbook" window appears so I went to the file I wanted to use as my data source and click OK
10) Back on the Add Connection window I clicked test connection and it succeeded so I clicked ok.
11) It goes back to the Table Adapter Config Wiz window, but the connection string only says "Dsn=Excel Files"
12) clicked Next, then Next again, then clicked on Query Builder. The Add Table window pops up but there is nothing in there for me to choose from.I've tried a million other things, here are a few of the errors that I seem to get a lot.
[IM006][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed

i have a simple vb program which i have loaded a data surce access file with it. I have done this using the data scource tab/wizard and then dragged the table on to my form which automatically gives me the functions i need (e.g. next record, save record, add new etc..)This all works as expected and fine within the program but when I open up the access file after - it hasnt done anything to the database/table what so ever - i.e. no changes were applied to it. Im so baffled
View 4 RepliesI have a WinForms app in a single project written in VB.Net 2003 (legacy code). There is a MainForm and a SecondaryForm that is run by the MainForm. When I run the app thru the MainForm, I can debug with no problem. However, if I just run the SecondaryForm, I get the debug error, "There is no source code available for the current location", when stepping over,_routeId = CInt(myVar)
At this point I am no longer able to debug thru my code window, but have to use the disassembled code.
when i run the application it gives an error "there is no source code available for the current location". Even i try to debug using f8 and msgbox in all forms,It doesn go thru it.I dont know what goes wrong with my application.All the while it goes perfectly alright.what does this error message meant and why all the way in sudden it happens to be like this?

I'm trying to "convert" an Access DB to a stand alone application. I have under estimated the differences between VBA and VB. Although I have many questions, I'll focus on this topic first.
The Access DB collects and maintains SNMP traps from a radio station. I import CSV files from a remote Unix server via FTP, parse the text line-by-line, and add to a table as a new record. So far, I can parse the text and add to a dataset but I want to write directly to the data source. I also need error handling that will trap errors for duplicate records. There is a Reconcile function that ensures that all lines in the CSV files are added to the table before the files are permanently deleted. Here's what I have so far:
Public Class clsRnm
Private msTrapTable As String
Private moTrap As clsRnmTrap
