VB 2005 Express - How To Run A Script Automatically After Building My Application
Mar 22, 2009
I use VB 2005 Express @ home for developing stuff. I am wondering if anyone knows how to run a script automatically after building my application. When I click build I want it to compile my InnoSetup installer and also zip up my executable + readme.txt file into AppName-version.zip. Right now I manually do it, and it's not that big of a deal, but if I am just wondering if it's possible. I think I can do it with full VS, so I will check it at work, but I am wondering if I can write a plugin or something if VB2k5X doesn't have an option do it already built in.
how to work with distributed application in vb.net that automatically stored data into server? How to configure to ensure the consistency of data being stored.
I am building an application with VB 2005 with sql server. I am using a listbox to populate items from the database. The listbox Sorted property has been set to True and also the query uses order by clause on the Name field. The items in the listbox look like
Bean Began Cat Category Detail Delta
MY problem is when the user tries to select an item, say Detail, having focus on the listbox, when pressing the keys D the item Detail selects but on next key e, it goes on to the Item starting with E. (in vb6 listbox property Sorted = true would solve this problem, which i am not getting with vb 2005/2008)
So, how can i achieve the multiple keypress on the listbox (without using any textbox to select items) to select the typed items in the list.
3 years ago I developed a vb.net application that connect to sql express 2005 data base.The application worked fine.e replaced our computers, so we installed the application again. (The same exe file, the same sql server and so on).Now, only when loading few forms I receive the following message: n error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)Note that when we log in to the application, a connection is needed. The user verifying is working fine; it means that the connection is working properly.

I have written a program in VB.NET 2008 Express that references a .NET managed dll. I simply added a reference to the dll to the project. I then 'Imports' the dll at the beginning of the program and then can use it. Everything works fine when I am running the program in debug mode (and it uses the dll as intended), but as soon as I go to build the project I get an errors that it "Could not reslove this reference" and "Namespace of type specifier in the Imports 'ModbusTCP' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found." The dll is located in a different location on my hard drive to the project location, but this was referenced when I 'added reference'.

The program I am trying to modify was initially written using VB 2005 Express. I have subsequently downloaded the 2008 version. The program creates a monthly spreadsheet from a template. The old code that will no longer (highlighted and underlined) compile is as follows:
While implementing this article,i cant understand what they try to mean by this:Still in the Code Window, change the line that reads:Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl So that it reads:Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button..if i change this line of the designer form: Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl to this: Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button...then when i return to the designer,i am getting this error: The designer cannot process the code at line 22: Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!) The code within the method 'Initialize Component' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.
A similar question has been asked before but noone seems to have an answer.I have an xsd which is fairly complex in nature.I must now create the xml file to be validated against it but I hate trying to interpret xsd. It's all gobbldygook to me.
Is there any way I can take an xsd file and create on the fly an example of what the xml file should look like?

I have attempted to uninstall VB 2005 express and C++ express using Remove Add programs to no avail. Error message: The Window Installer Package c:program files visual studio 8 vs_setup.msi could not be opened. I have removed the MSDN library and SQL server successfully. I have also tried vs_uninst_betas tool which doesn't find anything to uninstall. I would prefer not to modify the registry if at all possible. If I could find a source for the original install packages for VB and C++ I would attempt reinstalling and then uninstalling....but cannot find them anywhere.
I was looking to build a Data Access Layer for my new web based application, I'm using ASP.NET. I'm want to build a framework not only for this application but also want to utilize it for my future projects.
Actually my main aim is to make a framework, from DAC, DAL, BL to GUI. I want suggestions from you guys that what should i adopt, what give me flexibility, which suits for both small and large size applications.
In the very near future I'll have to develop an application that uses multiple screens.
So I'll give you a practical example:
I have 4 screens where different pricing infomation is being displayed. At any given time, I have to show a Promotion which is a single image that needs to be displayed across all of the screens with text scrolling across the screens.
Now I'm wondering what the best way would be to achieve this.
At first I was thinking of using one form and to stretch it across 4 screens, while I create 4 'areas' on the form that represent a screen. However when you extend a form this big I'm afraid the text is going to look horrible.
Then I was thinking of using 4 forms and split up the image into 4 different images which are displayed on the different screens. However to get a scrolling text right on 4 different forms, that's going to take some trial and error.
how I can achieve this form of digital signage?

Building a large application using 3 tier architecture in vb.net. Question: I am a vb.net developer. I have developed small and medium size application with 2 tier architecture. Now I am going to develop a large application. I have decided to develop that application using 3 tier architecture. So I studied about 3 tier. Now I know how what is 3 tier and how to develop a simple application. And also I studied about .Net Remoting and Web services. In my project, 7 modules are available. Each module has 3 layers. How can I manage in a Single Solution?
I want to build an application that checks every second for certain windows and then react according to that.
My Goal:I'm building the application for a pc in a Students Home with about 10 users. To create 10 different user accounts for windows will be annoying and crowded, because new people come in every year(or couple of months) and then old accounts have to be deleted and new ones created.
I want to build an application that accepts folderPaths or window names.Lets say user1 creates a folder with the name "Susan" that she wants to protect (her personal files/picture/work will be stored there. She opens the application, selects the folder. The application saves the folder path and her password that she enters.
If the application detects that a user is trying to open/move/delete/copy/whatever that folder, the app must pop up a password box. Correct password gives her the freedom she wants, wrong password just ignores the open/move/delete/copy/whatever command.
My new office project is based on an MVP design and is in VB.NET (.NET 3.5), using multiple libraries (like EntLib, internal corporate framework, etc.). The number of DLLs used as references is so huge (almost 50) that when I try to build/debug the application in VS2008, it takes almost 3-4 minutes to get the website running successfully.
Wanted to know if there are any settings/areas which upon some modifications can help me reduce the build time? and what exactly can be the major reasons behind this long loading duration?

Currently working on a web-service with Oracle10g as back-end. Here is my problem.
1. The table I need to populate has 100 columns. I have no control over the design of the table.
2. I wanted to use the "deriveparameters" method of OracleCommandBuilder, but found out that this is "costly" in terms of performance. What I initially planned to do was to derive the parameters from an open connection, close the connection, then maybe cache the parameters obtained but I don't know if this is possible.
I am unsure how big of a hit the performance will get if I continue using the "deriveparameters" method WITHOUT caching the parameters driven. The environment is as follows
-intranet -around 2000 users -users spread out in different parts of the country
I am not familiar where they will put the web pages of the application, the web service and the database. I don't know if they'll be putting it in different servers or on one server, but that's something we cannot control too, that's why I am looking for the best approach.
I just don't want to hard-code all that parameters and if, for instance, we need to change some properties/parameters, it will be a pain to maintain the code. It would be nice if someone here can point a way to automate the whole thing w/o the performance of the system taking a hit.
I designed an application to download a file from the Internet onto a selected location on the local computer. This application too, has a form-building error.Debug Error Message: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
