VS 2008 Publishing A Project
Dec 21, 2009i went up to "Build > Build Project" then "Build > Publish Project." So I went to the director i published my project in, and I ran Setup.exe, I followed as prompt, and then when the Splash screen unloaded, the project stopped responding and closed. So I ran the debug on VB8 and it ran fine passed the splash screen. Then, I tried going to the debug folder, and run the project from there, it ran fine to. So I tried another solution. I copied, and pasted the .exe file in the debug folder to my desktop, along with the .dll files in the debug folder to, ran it, and it got an error instantly after running it.So the only way I could get it to run, is to leave the .exe in the Debug folder, and to run Debugging in VB8.Also, I really don't like the way VB8 publishes the files and you have to run the setup each time you want to run the program. Is there a way to just make it a normal .exe file, like the ones vb6 makes?

Not Getting Data Access After Publishing Project
Mar 21, 2011I want to publish my vb.net project, but when I publish the project, there is no access to database. It is showing error : "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\N3WEXXZN.DE6\JHJXMQC9.9N6\mara..tion_c355efc190f94c5f_0001.0000_d27846b1540f4a39\EventsTable1.mdb'."
I am giving connection string as
"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\EventsTable1.mdb"
OR
"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\EventsTable1.mdb"
Why this error is occuring? Is there any other way to provide database path?
VS 2008 Publishing A Project With ClickOnce?
Aug 30, 2010I have a project and I'm publishing it with ClickOnce. As it publishes, it asks: "Version 1.00.xxx (etc) already exists on the server, do you want to overwrite it?" -- well, I click yes, and then I run the setup file and install it (I publish to my desktop), and guess what -- it's the old version of the project.For some reason, unless the version that is published is greater than the prior version, even if I tell it to overwrite that version, it is not published properly!
This has caused me some headaches, as I test my program on another VM, find errors, fix them in code, republish, and find the same bugs in my program as I test it again because it didn't publish the latest or newest version of my program, I even tried the simplest thing, I changed the text on my main form window that opens to something different from previous, and no matter how many times I publish, and click overwrite the old version, the old version remains!

View 2 RepliesPublishing A Project - Can't Find The Installation Directory
Mar 18, 2009I am trying to publish a project. Via the publish wizard I have published the project. So I have:Project.applicationSetup.exeand a directory application files in which:Project.applicationProject.exe.deployProject.exe.manifest. When I start the setup it does it's thing (only one question: do you want to install ...etc) and 2 seconds later its done.
Problem:
1. I can't find the installation directory... (I can find the app in the 'add/remove programs' but not anywhere in program files or ..)
2. there are a few xml and mdb files I want to include in de project (or else the project does not work).
But because of (1) I don't know where to do so. Or beter yet, I would like to include these files in the installer.3. Why doesn't the installer ask me where I want to install?
Publishing A Project With Sql Server Database Access?
Dec 20, 2011i am trying to publish a vb.net project that has is connected to a database. the project can be published and installed and runs fine without the data base part. i get following error message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
i assume that it simply cant find the database. where do i need to adjust the database file settings to make this work.

The "Custom Actions Editor" gives a list of (1) Install, (2) Commit, (3) Rollback & (4) Uninstall. I couldd do anything on this. Why these folders are there? How can I use this to create an "Uninstall" utility? What are they meant for? 1) How to include "Uninstall" part for aa program? (I want it appears in the Program menu on moving the Cursor on the Program. 2) How to create the "Uninstall" for a program?3) I couldn't make my program to appear in the list of Program Menu after installing (I'd to make a "Shortcut" of the program in the Program Menu), it didn't appear in the Desktop also - again I had to make a Shortcut on the Desktop also manually.The Tutorials didn't explain anything about this but only showed these options are available.

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 - Timer - Project A References Project B So Can Open A Large Form In Project B
May 5, 2010For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
View 2 Replies.net - Publishing WCF App?
May 12, 2011I had a working WCF published to IIS on my server. Recently I created another, self-hosting WCF (windows service) and added a reference to it from my WCF on IIS. Like this:
ASP --> WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Now, I can't seem to add a reference to my first WCF in my ASP app. So I've got this:
ASP XXX WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Here's the service model from the WCF in IIS. I'm publishing to http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/

View 19 RepliesA Boolean Value Does Not Persist After Publishing
May 1, 2009I'm working with Visual Basic 2008 Express. My application opens with the Terms screen, a form that asks the user to declare his acceptance of certain terms and conditions or to decline. If he accepts, the app opens the main screen, giving him access to all the app's facilities. If he declines, the app gives him a message and then closes. Whether he chooses to accept or decline, the app puts his decision in My.Settings so that it can be used next time the app is opened. In this way he is presented with the Terms screen on the next opening if he declined on the last run. But if he accepted on the last run, he is presented with the main screen on his next opening.
All works fine when I do a debug run. But when I build and publish the app onto my desktop it opens with the Main screen instead of the Terms screen.
why it works on F5 but not after publishing?
