View 12 RepliesSetup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?

View 6 RepliesI have 2 datagrids. One to show Product information and another for Product purchase details entry. Both share the same dataset. The dataset (ds) is filled up with columns from 2 table
ProductMstrTbl : ProductID, ProductName..
ProductDetailsTbl: ProductID, PurchaseDate, Amt, BalanceQty..
DataSet(ds) : ProductID, ProductName, PurchaseDate, Amt, BalanceQty.
The problem is that: Showing from dataset or entering new records into the dataset is no problem, but am not able to save the modified dataset into DataBase. SqlCommandBuilder failed to generate the corresponding INSERT, UPDATE command as the dataset has multiple base tables.
I'm trying to create an application that is able to find products from a XML file, which will contain the following data:EAN (Barcode as a string, not an image)
Description
Price
Stock
So basically, I enter the EAN and my program will lookup the XML file for this EAN and will return the description of this product, the price and the stock in a new messagebox. However, I don't understand how to create a XML file, add items, remove items, edit items, and most of all: read items from a XML file.
I am looking for a free utility or way to protect my software by requiring a Product ID (Which will be created when a customer requests a paid license) to use the application after a demo version. Like most shareware apps.
View 2 RepliesI am writing a Product key checker for Windows vista and 7, well it works well in both of these operating systems, but the only problem I encounter here is that, I cannot check vista keys when I run this program in 7..and vice versa. I declared the file as seen below.
Declare Auto Function PidGenX Lib "pidgenx.dll" (ByVal one As String, ByVal two As String, ByVal three As String, ByVal four As Integer, ByVal five As IntPtr, ByVal six As IntPtr, ByVal seven As IntPtr) As Integer
The thing I want to know is that how do you declare files, in the same directory as the exe file i.e. the app directory. I wish to have the 'pidgenx.dll' files of both operating systems in folders corresponding to their OS ie vista's pidgenx.dll in folder called Pack\Vista\pidgenx.dll and for 7's as \pack\7\pidgenx.dll

Under VB.Net 2005, I created a Setup Project which produced installation files for a windows application. I placed the mdb file in the User's Application Data Folder and remapped the DataDirectory to Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData at runtime. Unfortunately, sometimes the system just did create the mdb file at the Application Directory.
An example was that I installed the program in Windows 7 under a normal user account. I chose inside the installer that the program would be made available to everyone. After installation, the mdb file would be created automatically for the Administrator account but not for the normal user account. For XP, the whole thing worked fine. I am tempted to write a routine to check and create the mdb file if it is not present, but why does this happens and what other opinions do I have?
