Is there a way to do a silent update with the click once deployment? My program checks for an update before it opens, but the less user interaction on that the better.
I'm writing a function that takes a word doc and returns the number of pages in it. I have the function working and returning pages except that it opens a Word dialog asking if I want to save changes - does anyone know how to stop this? I have the document running "silently" in the background so I don't want to spoil the feel by prompting for saves.Here is my code:
Private Function CountWordPages(ByRef Doc As String) As Integer
Dim oWord As Object
Dim WD_Doc As Word.Document
Dim intCount As Integer = 0

I have a service I have written in VB.NET In the past I have always done the installs (internal app), so I have the install set to User, and when I do:
InstallUtil "C:MyService.exe"
It prompts me for the Account and Password, and I am using the local administrator (.administrator)I am setting up an installation script now that the user's can just run to install, and I don't want to give them the administrator password. Is there a silent way to include the user/password in the command line?
I am in a bit of a situation here, because the default webbrowser control freezes my application.I'm trying to load the data of a website into structures/classes and update them ever 5 seconds. I am now using webbrowser controls, by delegate-creating them and using them in my threads.The problem is, that all those webbrowsers count up and lag my application terribly. Every 5 seconds it is impossible for the user to control the program; it freezes.
Does anyone know of a thread-friendly webbrowser/control that can:
- Disable navigation to certain urls (navigation events)
- Give events on document completed
- Return an html document (not text)
- Does not lag the program when navigating
I'm looking for a "silent" webbrowser. It doesn't have to display elements, I do want to read the elements.
I tried using htmlrequests, but the problem with that is that I need to stay logged in. If I request a different page with a htmlrequest (when I logged in), the server returns an "not logged-in error". As far I know you can't redirect htmlrequests after logging in, so I'm stuck at that point.
I am working on a Screenshot Taker project, my project captures the screenshot and saves, but to save it a saving dialog shows up, and you have to select where to save it, file name, and bla bla bla; I don't want it to be like that, I want the saving thing be silent, I don't want the dialog to show up, like I want everything to happen from behind the seens.

View 12 RepliesI am writing a small visual basic application to install clean up tools quickly on any machines that we need to work on here at my workplace. I am using 4-5 cleanup programs that I have packaged into MSI's and have batch scripts that I am calling in my visual basic application to run them as silent installs. However, because I am doing the silent installs, windows always pops up with the "open file - security warning" and I have to click run for each individual program. I am wondering how to get around this from my end within the application. I know it can be disabled in windows but I am not wanting to have to go through a process on every machine that I run this program on. I would like to find a fix on the back end in my script.
View 2 RepliesI am developing an application in Vb.Net 2005 and have enabled the installation by clickonce, the update occurs before the application starts. My problem is very simple, the server that contains updates is correctly natted to be available from the outside with a public IP.
The clients who access from an external network connecting without problems, download software and updates. When local clients are connected to the same network of the server (LAN) can not download anything because they try to access the server with the ip public, and the nat does not work . We can not perform operations on the DNS server or hosts file and not even on the router.
I need to figure out if i can use ClickOnce to use more than one distribution server, primary and secondary. I'd like to set as the primary server the public address and the secondary server with internal network ip address.

I've published my application for installation via CD or DVD. I installed it on my machine and it worked fine. I have a couple of questions, I couldn't find the answer to in the GUI. First, when the application is installed, it immediately launches. Can I make something in the installation where a user can click a checkbox saying launch after install? If not, how can I disable the application from launching after the install. And secondly, the application is installed, a desktop shortcut is created, and the application is added to the programs on the start menu. How would I add an uninstall link in the program menu along with the icon to launch the application? Currently I have to go to the control panel add remove programs to remove the application.

How do i insert the images during an customize installation?
For example, when i was installing Skype, screenshots of Skype appeared during the installation. How would i make that during my installation, with images appeared and disappeared just like skype. I know i could use code to bring back and front, but that is not how i wanted it to be. I tried that code before, but doesnt look good enough.
I code on the side for a little extra cash. Up to now it has always been one off conversion programs. The problem is that I am being asked to generate a report program and there is a dealer acting as the go-between for the end user. I want to maintain control of this program. I don't want this dealer to be able to distribute it to all his customers (or worse sell it), but have no idea of the best way to do it. Since I do this on the side, I obviously cannot afford to purchase a third party utility.When I try to search, all I get are links to people asking what to do when an installation fails. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or article on how to do this without resorting to buying a utility?
