Not in the Debug directory or any directory, I actually mean within my program Is there a way to add the exe to the My.Resources or something similar and execute the application that is stored within my application. I have tried to do a Process.Start(Myexe'sName), but I have a feeling that looks for an exe outside the actual program, directory
View 8 RepliesWhich is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.
View 1 RepliesI am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

The DBA has created a DTS package to update a SQL Server 2000 table. We have a VB .NET 2008 application that needs to execute this package. We thought that having the application execute a stored procedure to do this would suffice; however, we are exploring a way to execute the DTS package programatically.

I have created a Windows application (in VB .NET). Now I want it to run from Console too.However, when i run it from console, i don't want to should the windows forms and also want to run some specific tasks.
View 1 RepliesSo basically my VB project creates a text file that is readable by another console application (not made in VB). Basically what I want to do is in my program, I want it so that when you press a button, it will run all of the text files (that you made in my program) through that console app (the console app takes XML files and converts it into another format). How can I do this? In the console app, you type in the file name (ex. File.xml) and press enter and it will give you the output file. How do I "call" a console app and have it run in the background? (background as in the prompt window doesn't pop up.)
View 3 RepliesI'm building an application that will be using several (7) SQL queries, I'm wondering whats the best way to approach this since I've never built an app with this many queries in it. These queries really won't change, just the start date and end date and I have query in my first form that finds out the next available date by checking a table. What I'm wondering is if it would be better to construct these queries in my application or if it would be better to use stored procedures on my sql server to do the same thing and not have the application carry the load of the queries.

View 3 RepliesI am having an issue with an ASP.Net page I am writing and struggling to diagnose why this page is failing.
I am trying to do this:
Dim st As New StringWriter()
Dim strURL As String = "CourseProgramme.aspx?id=3733"
Context.Server.Execute(strURL, st)
txtNotes.Text = st.ToString()
The aim here is to get the HTML back for the page that has been specified in strURL and then display it in a textbox. However when I run this code it crashes the ApplicationPool in IIS and when I look in event viewer I see this error message:
A process serving application pool 'blueprintdev' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '5284'. The data field contains the error number.The strange thing here is that in another page I do this code which works fine:
Dim strDutyStartDate As Date
strDutyStartDate = TextboxDutyStartDate.Text
Dim st As New StringWriter()
[code]....
As far as I can see other than the URL I am passing, which does exist, I cannot see a difference between the two.The page I am developing is in ASP.Net with .Net 4.0 however in the website there are some classic ASP pages. IIS is running at version 7.5.7600.16385 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit.So far I have tried setting the application pool to run in 32bit mode but that causes errors in other areas and the site will not load.
I'd rather not go into the detail of the problem, because it's a lot of typing... but the functionality of vb.net (when making a web application) is quite annoying.
This is what it does...Page1.aspx loads, then you push a button on the page, and that button then does this: Response.redirect("Page2.aspx")
But first, it does Page1's load event, then it does the btn.Click event, THEN it does Page2.aspx's load event... Is there a way to force it to not do Page1's load event, and just make it execute the button click, and the page2's load event?

I am making a video conversion tool. I have a listview with one item per file.And i also have options to add subtitles to movies. I want it to be like this:Say the user add 2 movies. He select the first movie in the listview and then go to the subtitle tab beside. There he checks a checkbox so he can add subtitles. Some controls comes up that allows he to browse for subtitle and select which language the subtitle is. Then when he has selected these options, he select the other movie, the program saves the subtitle data somewhere and then erases all fields so he can fill them with a subtitle for the other movie.

for an example I'm making an RPG game for learning purposes and I have several modules, each for storing different data (one for items, one for enemies etc).I'm storing each item or enemy in a structure in the module so it's easy to find and obtain the values and makes it easier to add more when needed. I'm sure there's a easier way because at the moment I'm storing it like this:

As you can see, I have all the weapons(which are in a structure) nested into another structure called "weapons" so it's easier to find.Is there an easier way to store the data and make it still readable, obtainable and easy to add more weapons later on.To display the stats on the currently selected weapon I have to test for which weapon is selected and then several lines of code just to display the stats for that one weapon.
i need to store Application wide Settings in my Application like:
Connection to DB (Servername) Username/Password Registrar/Serial etc. I think there are basically two Options:
Store them in the Registry Store them in an Application Settings File Using one of the methods above is no problem, but under Windows 7 my Application running in normal user mode allows me only to store user specific data. For example inside UserAppDataRegistry, UserAppDataPath etc.
But when i want to use e.g. CommonAppDataRegistry to write my Data in, then i get no access to it, due to missing privileges.
Now my question:
Where and how to store Application Wide Data? How are others doing this? When i purchase an application and install it on my pc, it asks me for Uusername and Serial. When i insert it then it saves it somewhere without asking me for Administrative Privileges or something else.
I have an ASP.NET application. It resides within another ASP.NET application. I put my DLL in the other apps bin folder and have a subdirectory with my aspx files. I can't edit the main app's Web.config.
So where can I store configuration settings? For example, this is an app that will get deployed to various clients. I want to store the client name used for display in the headers and such. And the location of a logo file.
I have a license form that i wish to save the information or just system wide information for that matter,I know about the my.Settings - however this will only save for a specific user and the aplpication scope you can not write to.Where is the best place or the normal practice of saving application wide information?

View 7 RepliesI have created an updater for our clients application. The way the updater works is to download all the updated files and store them in a temporary folder then check the file hashes. If everything is ok it will copy the files to the applications installation folder. Once this is been completed it will delete all the updated files in the temporary directory.
My problem: I am looking for a directory that will be available for XP, Vista, and Win7. I was thinking about the 'temp' directory.
I have a table, lets call it Objects. It has a predefined set of records looking like this:
ObjectId ObjectName
1 Salmon
2 Trout
3 Seabass
4 Shark
Etc..
So, this I would like to implement somehow as an enum. But what's the best way, implement it in the database creating tables for it or in the application logic in an CommonEnums codebehind file etc?
