I have a client-server application installed with click-once configuration. Whenever I publish the application build, i have to inform all the clients by sending them email, to update the latest version. I want as I publish the version, a notification has automatically sent to all clients who are using the application at that time through Pop-up or message box. Is there any way to perform this task?
View 1 RepliesHow they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.

Is there any way to make my programs use a lower version of net.framework other than the newest version 4 that comes with VS2010?I use my programs within a closed network and there isn't an easy way for me to install any software since I'm not the administrator.

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?

I would like my program to overwrite its previous version such that users don't have to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
I'm guessing it has something to do with setting Publish Version (Major, Minor, Build, Revision), Assembly Version or File Version.
they need to make some compare version between host version and client version.. and each 1 version different will download the file to the client..[URL]..with both example, how can i make a program in VB.NET just like i said just now?

I need to pop a balloon notification through my application. I do not know how to do this.
Actualy I need to pop balloon notification that contains the user information retrieving from oracle database on my database server.
I need to do this when the user logs into his PC.
Context: I'm working with a relatively simple winforms application, written in VB.NET on the .NET 3.5 framework in Visual Studio 2010. Issue: The FormLoad event creates two threads when the program is opened. One handles automatic update checking and the other performs a time consuming task syncing files with the internet. These threads are initialized as follows:

I know that it is possible to download items with Visual Basic [Code], but I was wondering how I could sense that a file had completed its download. (IE: when the download was complete, another event could happen).
View 2 RepliesI have no difficulty creating and operating a regular notifyicon... But I have an issue - more with method than with the code itself...
Here is what I am doing - I have a notifyicon that changes colour based on the status of a service - this is not an issue...
However, I want the icon to be able to appear via a startup program itself instead of from inside the service (obviously if the service is STOPPED the icon will not be visible making it difficult to start)
The service also changes the icon colour when it is performing a specific timed task (the purpose of the service) - I may also want to force the service to perform the task from yet another application outside the preset interval....but that is a seperate issue at this time...
the best way to have a notifyicon that can control a service(easy) while being able to be controlled BY the same service.(the issue)
I am wondering how can I show a balloon tip for my system tray NotifyIcon application QUICKLY. What I mean by quickly is not linger around for like 5 seconds.. I have tried entering 1. For example my code is currently:

Is it possible to achieve File notification in visual basic. file notification allows you to set up watches on one or more folders (optionally including the entire subfolder tree) so that any changes made to the folders result in a notification being sent back to you. i really apreciate if any one provide the code.
