My program is ready for use on other computers however when I run either the release file I get the following error:

I am making a exe application and i am using mysql as my database. So the thing is, when i change to a new computer, i need to change the file path for the database connection string to that computer.
like below:
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=----------SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Flexlink;" & "Integrated Security=SSPI;"
i need to change the data source = --------------- SQLEXPRESS to the computer name that i am using for my project.
May i ask is there any method such that the user dont have to go in to the source code to change the computer's name like those normal installer?
Just install and the application will run according like any exe file that we buy.
I just completed building an application that reads and writes to a MS Access database located on a network drive. It works great on the computer that I created it on, but when I try to run it on another computer it fails to initialize. I'm not sure if there's a setting in the database I need to change,
View 4 RepliesI've been working on a piece of software for a few weeks now and I've got to the point where I'm publishing it and testing it on other computers, namely my colleague's. We're both working on the same network and have similar permissions for our accounts, but for some reason the application will launch on my account but not his.
We've tried using the same computer and just changing accounts, but that won't work either; he still isn't able to launch the published application.
I receive the standard "[x] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message.
What is baffling me is that we've tried previous versions on his computer and they worked just fine. I can't think of any changes that I've made that would suddenly stop the application from running.
A few extra pieces of information: the application has a splashscreen, which displays for a few seconds before the error message crops up. In this time, the program is supposed to check if certain files and directories exist and, if not, create them. It also changes file attributes. These files exist in a directory we are both able to access and both have permissions to change. It also changes and sets some variables within the program itself, but I don't see that being an issue. It is able to catch exceptions of type IOException and InvalidOperationException (which was being thrown when a computer didn't have access to the intranet).
I have written an application. It works fine on some resolutions but most of the controls are over lapped when it is run on some other computers.Is there any way of setting the application automatically when it is run on different computers?

All the computers have Office 2007 installed.
View 4 RepliesI have recently finished a console application and deployed it to several computers on our network for testing. As it is just an EXE a copied to the hard drives of selected computers for now. When the app is launched it writes info to an sql DB so I always know which computers it is on.
During the past few weeks I have modified this app at least 6 times (improvements, adjustments, etc)
It is a paint to keep going back to the computers to update it with the new version, and getting mixed up which version i am on - LOL I am looking for advice on how I would go about doing this automatically, for example, it would be cool if I just had to put an updated file in a repositry and clients would use this to update.
In Visual Studio, when I view the properties of my application>assembly information - I can set a file version. Is it possible to extract this info and store it in a variable? I would like to dump the in my DB. Also I could then possibly compare the file version of the launched app against an updated file in a network share folder.

View 1 RepliesPart of an application that I'm building searches the network that the current computer is connected to and returns a list of the IP & MAC addresses and the hostname. It is based largely on the post by richard__deeming at [URL] At the moment, it will only get the information about computers that are in the same workgroup, but I have several computers that need to be shown, that are joined to a domain rather than the workgroup. How can I get the program to find every computer on the network?

View 4 RepliesI have alignment issues with my application's printout. It isn't same in all computers, or printers. I want to use the whole A4 page in my app without any margin or other spaces. So I set all margins to 0.If I set OriginAtMargins to false, margins are still active for the page, or setting them to 0 is useless? The actual question is should I also set the HardMarginX and Y? I must get rid of all spaces for the correct printing.

The others are referenced in the particular project.

I have a form with a tab control. Above it, there are lables, combo boxes and text boxes.
On the development machine, it works fine but on other machines, where resolution is different, the position of the controls is changed. Somewhere combo box overlaps the tab control, somewhere text boxes and lables are not aligned with each other.
How to set it so that my application maintains the shape no matter what resolution it is.
I tried AutoScaleMode to dpi, inherit etc. but nothing worked.
