I was wondering if it was possible to start an application from USB stick without the need of installing the dotnet framework on the system? Like implement the framework in the application or install it on the USB stick itself.
View 6 RepliesI created a program and published it using the wizard through the "Property" in menu.
When I used the Published program to Install it in my same computer it got installed in "StartMenu".
I didn't get the option to select the Drive for Installing it like what we get when installing other program.
how to make that option to appear on installing the program?
how I would install a program from a combobox, for example, I select an option inside a combobox like 'adobe reader', click the install button, and it installs the selected option? (all programs will be stored in a share or directory).

View 9 RepliesI am executing a autoit script when autoit is installed in the system by using the following code
objProcess = New System.Diagnostics.Process()
objProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "abc"
objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Z:Scripts est.au3"
objProcess.Start()
But I need to do same by giving a path to a unzipped files instead of installing it on system. e.g My autoit path where I extracted files are z:Softwareautoit3.exe and my scripts path is "Z:Scripts est.au3".

I have used Visual Basic 2008 successfully before.Now i have installed Visual Studio 2010 and want to debug an application i am writing.When in the source code (VB) i can't add a breakpoint using F9 nor by ckicking in the leftmost margin. I can only open the breakpoint window after closing the source code and then add a new breakpoint.
Then when starting the program and when the program get to the breakpoint it stops and show the code with the arrow representing the next line of code to be executed. Then i should be able to step into the code using F8, but nothing happens.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel with .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 RTMRel under Windows XP Pro x86 with Service Pack 3.
I could not figure out the key to installing folders/subfolders/.rtf files during deployment/installation. The key here is to 'add' folders and subfolders to the project in solution explorer, then adding existing item (.text (.rtf files in my case) files) then selecting the .rtf file in solution explorer.go to its properties and under 'Build Action' select 'Content' (very Important!). Then under 'Copy to Output' select 'Copy if newer'!Then in code to access these files you use the following code:
Me.RichTextBoxDisplay.LoadFile(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "KJV BibleOTExodusExodus KJV.rtf"))
Finally after 3 days of research and 2 days at the msdn forum picking peoples minds (smarter than mine) and lots of prayer, I got it!

I have built and deployed an application in VB2008. If I start the program from the start menu a new session will start and there 'll be multiple sessions of the same programming running.

View 6 Replieshow to PROPERLY make a multi-tabbed or multi-window application that can handle file start requests.
For example, on startup my "Desktop Application" runs and sits there waiting for a task, either through the main menu, or for a file to display in a window. Now the problem is simple, how can I make this already running program load the dropped file (dropped on the executable (!)), instead of starting a new instance.
I understand I will have to check if the process is running, and if so, do some stuff with it. But the problem is passing the message to the active program.
Previously I used text files with paths/arguments in them, but I don't like the idea of the OS/program checking every 500 ms if a file is created in the "load this" folder...
Then I thought of sending a message using "Send Message", for example changing the text in a textbox and handle the "Text Changed" event, but is this reliable? Can any other program interfere with it?
So, basically I need the proper way of doing all of this. For example, Microsoft Visual Studio does this nicely, and no lag whatsoever...
How do I start writing a program that has 6 text boxes. A person would enter a member number if they have one, number of movies rented at $1.80 a piece. A Text box should then display Total Rental Price, and if a member number was entered, a 10% discount is given (the total of the discount shows up in another text box) and after there discount is applied the Amount Due is displayed in yet another Text Box.
My boxes are named:
memberNumberBox
moviesRentedBox
rentalPriceBox = $1.80
totalPriceBox
discountBox
amountDueBox
This is all supposed to happed when the customer clicks on a calculation button named: Button1
This is what I have so far, but I don't even know if this is correct, as I am getting 1 error relating to a name not being declared. Please help and clue me in to where to start!

I have a sql file that i need to use with Visual Basic, im assuming i have to install it as i had to do that with a different sql file, the only difference between the sql file i have now and the other one i had is that the one i need to use with VB has only an sql file and does not have a database file that goes with it, this one is only an sql file. I have opened the file in SQL server management studio express and executed it over and over and it says (1 row(s) affected) (I have attached a screenshot) but nothing happens. If you look in the screenshot, on the left hand side you can see the "Pubs" database, that was the other sql file i had that had a database with it and it installed fine. Im really not sure what else to do with this.

When I try to install my application on another domain it hangs and doesn't even run the install script.
Has anyone ever experienced problems installing an app accross domains?
Is there something that I need to code differently to make it non-domain specific?
