View 2 RepliesIn our VB .NET application, we use "c0" and "c2" format strings to display currency values all over the place.
Recently, users have had issues where these currency values don't show up correctly with a $ sign, but with some weird symbol, ¤. Through wikipedia, I found out it's the generic currency symbol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_(typography)
I've seen the problem happen on my machine ONCE, and haven't been able to recreate it since. It went away when I restarted the application. In fact, as soon as I saw the problem, I started another instance of the application but $ signs showed up fine in that second instance.
I have programmed succesfully with VB 4.0 for years and have recently started to "Update" myself with Visual Basic 2005. I tried to build an application to distribute via CD. I received the following error:
Error 2 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign binReleaseCounting Stewards data entry.publish\setup.exe. SignTool Error: ISignedCode::Sign returned error: 0x80880253
The signer's certificate is not valid for signing. SignTool Error: An error occurred while attempting to sign: binReleaseCounting Stewards data entry.publish\setup.exe
I am totally "out to lunch." I have no clue of what this is about and cannot find anything in my references which address it. I have found no code on line that enlightens me. Is there a simple explanation and/or fix? Where can I learn more in order to avoid this in the future?
I'm a fairly new programmer so you'll have to bear with me on this. Basically, I have a database with 3 tables, Engineers, Equipment and Signouts. I want to create a VB application that allows engineers to sign out equipment. I have all of the forms setup the way I want, and have followed a tutorial online for how to connect to the database with the MySQL .NET Connector. I have 3 forms, and have a class with all of my global variables in it. All I have managed to thus far, is define connStr as a global variable, and use it to run a connection test when the main form starts up.
My next job is to query for information about an engineer based on their ID. I have a text input box, and a button to click, and then way to display the retreived information on the next page. I have setup variables for the returned values to be put against, so they can be displayed on the form.
My question is, when the button is clicked, how do I make the application query the database based on the ID, and then use the information it returns (Engineers ID, Name and Telephone Number) to assign those values to the variables? Also, on a side note, instead of using forms, I want to use panels, is there a sub routine similar to form_load for using panels when they are shown/hidden?

View 2 RepliesI created a folder in the Solution Explorer. Now the program will need to access that folder. How can I access the folder? The folder in my solution explorer is named "Machines"I just can't seem to find a way to programmatically get there. Is it perhaps that this folder needs to be specified somewhere other than in the solution explorer? I looked at the references and went to Reference Path, but it looks like you can only specify a specific path, I would rather do it Dynamically depending on the install (I think my problem is in here somewhere). For that matter could it be that this folder won't be created untill the project is compiled
View 7 RepliesIm using vb 2010 Express. I use 'Application settings' to store "demo version exp. date" of my program. My program stores the settings in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_fbujq51flndh1ui4t4442ohpvlebhwej" folder.But when user copies the exe program and pastes it to another folder, the settings folder changes. I mean when user copies and pastes the exe program to another folder, the program starts to store the the settings in
"C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_zywjz0o2tyrcmd35h5j1fdq0lplbklwc"
(Different than the first address). This causes the exp date to change everytime user copy-pasts the program.. Is there any way to specify where to store the settings? I mean when the program starts i want to store the settings always in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftxxxx" folder.

This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?

I created a vb.net 2008 application to windows 7 with some functions that monitor a folder within "Programs". Folder you created during installation of this application. But every time you launch the software (the exe, after installing the client package) I get UAC and I ask for confirmation. I tried to edit the manifest (with admin user) but it always comes out. I would like to depart immediately launch the EXE application, without uac.
