I have a program made in vb 2010. The problem is it uses my files on the computer such as different cursors and pictures and I really want to be able to make it portable and stick it on a memory stick and run it on other computers. Is this possible?
View 12 RepliesIm make a portable program which has a form with a few different pictures like a photo gallery.when you hover the mouse over a picture it will appear enlarged in a floating box infront of the form. Then when the the mouse is taken away from this floating box the box will disapear and leave you with the picture gallery again?
View 3 RepliesMy whole project consists of:
1. an electronic product
2. a memory stick (USB mass storage device) and
3. CD thast includes the Windows user interface program
The electronic product acts as a host controller that write data to a file (.wcs), which is in the memory stick whenever the user plug it to the USB connector. After this the user disconnect the memory stick from the electronic product and plug it to a PC that run the user interface program. Untill now the user searches for the .wcs file manually using an OpenFileDialog.
My question is:Is it possible for the program to automatic detect almost plaged or new plaged USB flash memory sticks in order to load open the needed .wcs file? If this is possible then how can I do it?
I can zip files to a memory stick and transfer to another computer without any difficuly but how do you zip an entire VB project so that it can be put on another computer, unzipped and used in Visual Studio? The part that I seem to getting confused with are the folders bin, My Project and obj.
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to make my program compatible with more computers, even if their computer is not up to date. Im trying to make it compatible with the following windows versions, all versions so if it has home, professional, server, etc...
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7 RC
Now, my program is compatible with the bottom 3, and with 64 bit computers, the problem is that my program has to have the .NET framework 3.5 installed, which meens XP needs updated and that framework installed, and on earlier versions, it wont install the framework through windows update and the like, also, I cant expect people who want to use it to have it installed, can anyone explain a way for me to make it so my program if its possible, then whatever features may use that framework, if just not calling that code will stop the program from crashing, or if i can make it use older version instead of a newer version framework, maybe only in certain cases.
From all the chat applications I successfully made each and every one of them required me to port forward my router so that the data can be received. Now my question is how can I make my chat program work on computers that have routers with most of the ports blocked, how do traditional chat programs do it? Perhaps The chat program intercepts packets then sends it to a known port such as 80?

What do I need to install on other computers other than .NET Framework and my program ?
I've just created a program in Visual Basic.NET 2010 Express Edition, and the program works great on my computer. Unfortunately, when I try running it on other computers, the process on the Task Manager for it comes up for literally 2 seconds and then goes away, and the program does not run. Basically, the program doesn't open. I'm not sure why this is happening, and I'm not getting any errors.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, and I've tried getting it to work on two other computers, with no luck. The first one had Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, and the second one had the same operating system as my computer. All computers have the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile installed, which is what my application is compiled to work with. I also tried compiling it to use .NET Framework 4 (without the Client Profile), and that didn't help.
If it helps, my References are as follows (which I believe are the defaults):
- Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs
- System
- System.Core

Is it possible to make an vb.net application portable?
View 6 RepliesI've created a multithreaded application that copies data from one directory to another, and I'm having trouble getting it to work properly on clients' computers. All computers running the software have Windows 7 and the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile installed, which is what I've compiled the program for. I have two threads: one does the actual copying, and the other updates the UI on the program. Whenever I run the program on my computer, even if I'm copying 45 GB, for example, it runs fine. However, if I run it on another computer, it will sometimes freeze the entire computer, so then I have to manually shut the computer down in order to use it again. I have been trying to find out why this occurs, but I cannot. Does anyone think he/she can provide me with some ideas as to why this happens and how I can prevent it from occurring?
View 4 RepliesI have an ASP.net 3.5 website and I am using vb.net in VWD 2008 Express, I am also using MS SQL Server 2008 Express, I used ajax tabs and a textBox charavters counter control develped by [url]...The database is attached with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express and the files are stored in the SQL default "Data" folder.
The whole project's code and forms are stored in a folder in my E drive.I need to hand the whole project to another coworker who have to finish it, please describe in steps how can i make my website portable (like i can put it all in a folder that he can carry around in his flash disk).
Is it possible to make that an application doesn't have to be installed so it would be portable?
View 5 RepliesI have a simple app (coded in VB 2008 Express Edition) that uses an SQL Server database (in .mdf format) that works fine on my own machine. I created the database in SQL Server on this machine. I added the DB as a data source and it works fine. But when packaged this app (ClickOnce) and installed this app on a different machine the installer tries to download MS SQL Server Express. Obviously this is because SQL Server is a prerequisite and is not installed on the other machine. But just as obvious is the fact that the download will take a long time to complete before my code even starts installing.
My question is this: Is there an SQL Server reference (using Add Reference...) that I can add to avoid this? I suspect the application just needs one or two DLL files from SQL Server. Downloading the whole product seems like overkill. Is there a way I can included the needed files in my app to avoid this long download process?
project im working on for my course,the idea is a photo printing machine that loads up 4 images if usb stick is checked and a different 4 if memory card is checked. and then whatever image is selected appears in the big picturebox on the left [URL] i have 2 print size options set as radiobuttons, radiobutton 1 = 6x4, which costs 25cent per photo, radiobutton 2 = 8x10, and is 50cent per photo.i also have a textbox which will display the number of copies to be printed So here's my dilemma, when the print button is selected alongside one of the radiobuttons i want it to display a message saying something like this "you have selected (whatever the amount of copies)of this photo sized 6x4, or 8x10 depending on which radiobutton is selected, and i want it to display the total cost which is the number of copies multiplied by the rate for the print size selected, then an option saying "Do you wish to proceed" Yes or No.
I did something similar to this in class earlier in the year but cant remember it, it was an airline booking program with 3 types of payment cash, visa or mastercard,upon booking a message popped up saying there is a certain percentage discount for using visa or mastercard

View 2 Repliesi am creating one application and i want it to stick to screen edge/corner when dragged near to the edge of the screen.i want it be like in WINAMP.
View 2 RepliesI'm working with a project that is WPF and VB.net. I want to visually simulate "dragging" an object (though I do not want to use standard drag and drop for reason of purpose).Basically, I have a label object that, on its MouseDown event, I want it to follow the mouse cursor inside a 640x480 solid-size grid (but not outside of it!). Mind you, this grid is centered inside a full-screen window. Again, the object should not follow the mouse outside of the grid (I'm guessing a "ClipToBounds = True" here)Then, on the label's MouseUp event, I want it to either stay in its current position or return to its original position, as determined by the value of a boolean variable set by another object's MouseEnter property.Note, if it would be easier to work with, I can change the grid to a canvas in a cinch. I'm guessing that would be desirable.
How do I make the object (label) follow the mouse cursor inside the grid/canvas, but not outside of it? This needs to happen on the MouseDown event of the label.How do I make the object "stick" in its current position? (From this, I can probably figure out how to make it return to its original position on my own.

View 1 RepliesI would like to have my application basically appear as if it was part of the desktop background, I've removed the form border etc and made the background colour of the form the same as our standard company background so it all blends in nicely. I have also made it so the app does not appear in the toolbar and it is set to launch on startup so it appears as soon as the user logs in - so all works fine and looks fine because any new apps that the user opens will open on top of my app. The only problem is that if they press the Show Desktop button (or use Windows Key + D) to minimize all apps, mine gets minimized as well and disappears. Its easy enough to get the user to make it appear again as it has a system tray icon that they can interact with, but it would be better if it just didn't vanish when they did this.Now I know the best thing for this on Windows 7 would be a Gadget but the problem is that Gadget's annoyingly have to be HTML/javascript and a) I'm not great with web coding and b) I don't think it is even possible to do what my app does from a HTML/javascript page... oh and c) I can't find any way to deploy gadgets in a business network (there is no way we are installing it manually on all 300 of our PCs), so the gadget idea is not looking very promising.I'm wondering if there is some window message I can capture and ignore in the WndProc event handler
View 12 RepliesI'm trying to fix a problem that is just killing my program's efficiency. When I run it, it starts out at maybe 10M of RAM, but it gradually increases. Within 20 minutes, it can get up to 700M of RAM. Now, when the program is restarted, all of this goes away and starts anew, but restarting the program every so often is a very loose solution. Here's what my program does: there's an array in which many (anywhere from 500-4000 or so) links are placed. I have a webbrowser that navigates to each of these and does an action on them, then moves to the next page. For example: [Code]
And all of the actions work perfectly, but the memory exponentially increases, resulting in a crash if left on for too long. I've searched Google and all I've found is that that's not the actual usage, and that if you just minimize it and maximize it again it will go down, but it did not when I tried it. Why is the memory increasing so much like that, and is there any way to fix it?
I've been scouring Google looking for a solution to my problem, but I can't seem to find anything so thought you guys might know a way of solving my problem.Im writing a little program which needs to change a few different memory address variables of a specific process.Does anyone know how first of all I can detect if the specific process is running on the user's machine, and then how I would read the value of the memory addresses, and write to them also.
