View 1 RepliesI have a MS Visual Studio .NET project created. I also went through the basic steps to add a setup project which created both an .MSI and a setup.exe file under the "Release" folder within the Debug folder. When I ran the setup.exe it installed the website on my http:localhost/Program/default.aspx which is fine and all..
My only problem is that the website does not have some of the customized icons that should be displayed, some of the other files are also missing such as "filename.txt" found in the main directory of my program used for specific calculations. I guess my two questions are:How do I add "All" the files inside my project to the .MSI?? The Website works fine, but its missing some files.
My second question, what if I "Remove" the program? Will it delete all directories, even files manually added to some folders AFTER the installation? For example: Lets say that my website contains a folder called "Data" which gathers data for specific purposes. The "Data" folder is often changed to replace outdated "Data", so when I need to make an update to the program the "Data" should not be removed, my 'client' should be able to just Add/Remove the program to update the program but all the other files should remain unchanged.
i've created a very simple .exe file on my project in vb winForms but i don't know if i have crystal reports, Database, .swf files on my project.
View 3 RepliesI've written a program that works perfectly well when installed on my development PC, but when I use the wizard in "Build-> Publish" and install the software on another computer it complains it can't find the DLL that I've linked to.The DLL comes from a programmable board that I'm linking to, so I don't have access to the source code, and I've included it in my project using the following lines:
Declare Function InitMbee Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" () As Boolean
Declare Function SetOutputs Lib "C:UsersMartin & CelinaDesktopVBminimb.dll" (ByVal outputs As Integer) As Boolean
However I've not included the DLL in any other way, so I'm wondering if I have to add it to a list of items that need to be included with the installer, or if I've declared it in such as way that it needs to be in the same place for all installations.
I'm trying to build a setup program using the built-in Visual Studio Installer. I'm using VS 2010 and working on VB.NET.For the most basic kind of program, I have an EXE file which works on a XML file (the XML file is treated like a database). So on a Windows 7 platform with UAC enabled, the best deployment is to install the EXE file in the Program Files folder, and the XML file in the application data folder, for security purposes of Windows. (Windows, now, does not allow creating/writing files inside the Program Files folder unless your application is running with administrative privileges).
So I have added VS Installer to my current project and have opened its File System Editor. So to create the above layout, I've added Primary Output to the Application Folder. Then I've added its shortcut to the User Desktop.Now I need to place my XML file to the application data folder. VS Installer gives the option of User's Application Data Folder, which is the %appdata% folder in the environment table. I need to access the All Users' Application Data Folder.
1) How do I access the All Users' Application Data Folder over here?
2) I tried using the User's Application Data Folder. It doesn't work. It doesn't create any folder in the %appdata% (e.g. C:UsersFarazAppDataRoaming). I tried to play around with various properties, like AlwaysCreate which is supposed to create a folder obligatorily. It doesn't create anything.
I have created installer from Visual Studio Package and Deployment, but after successful installation, the installer files (like dlls, images and all supporting files) modified date or even creation date has been changed and all have the same date depends on the date of installation. Is there a way I can preserve or maintain it's original creation/modified date?

I have to develop an application using MS Visual Studio 2005 or above with the following objective:
* The application should allow users to create as many new forms as they want and each form should behave like a MS Visual Studio WinForm. By saying that it should be a container for drag and drop of controls from the toolbox that I will develop....
* Once the user design's each screen to his taste by placing various controls on the form, he should be able to save the form as a screen. Of course I have to provide functionality for each of the controls such as if he drags a button on to the form, he should be able to specify what action it has to perfom when clicked when the application is put into run mode. Quite similar to regular windows form button.
* My application should have two modes: a DESIGN MODE, where user can drag, drop controls and specify what they should do when put into RUN MODE. This is quite similar to MS Visual Studio designer.
* Last but not least is to be able to access the application via the browser with the same look and feel his desktop version.

View 4 RepliesI need some kind of structure where I can store data with a unique copy of each item (I mean that there can't be more than one of each). Something like the "set" type in the good ol' Turbo Pascal.
I know Visual Studio 2010 has the SortedSet data type, but I can't find something like that in Visual Studio 2005. Is there anything I can use for this purpose?
I am new to Visual Studio and (I am using Visual Studio 2005)I know how to connect/edit, etc to an access database by just using coding but I am having a problem with the Visual Studio Database wizard.
When I create a new Data Source and I specify a Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB) connection + *.mdb filename, etc I am able to drag the table name onto the form and browse the contents of the database when running the application. No problem there.
The problem is when I run the application and adding new records to the database via the form, the new data does not get saved. I run the app (F5) + add new data to the database + save + then close the app. When I rerun the app from Visual Studio (F5), the new data is gone.
Is there something like the Reference property CopyLocal in a Visual Studio 2005 ASP.NET Web Site? A VS05 Web Application has a References folder in the Solution Explorer where you can select a reference and view its properties, such as CopyLocal, in the Properties window.But a VS05 Web Site only has a References folder in the Class View, where you can't access any properties for the references. Is there another simple way to set properties on your references in a Web Site? Or are the reference DLLs automatically copied when you publish a Web Site onto a machine other than your own?

View 3 RepliesAlright, I've been taking this class in school for Software development, and right now I am working on a assignment my professor is having us do, and honestly, I am kind of stumped here. Basically he wants us to create a form in Visual Studio 2005. It has a group box with two Radio buttons, (One for boys, One for Girls) and a List box that lists the corresponding names of the Gender you selected with a radio button.Alternatively, you can click the Report button and get the list that way.
Heres a screenshot of how he wants it: He wants us to use parallel arrays to make the list, each name has a corresponding M or F. So far I have the objects all set up, and the I have declared the parallel array like this in the Declaration of the form:

View 3 RepliesIve decided to move from VB6 programming and Im not really sure where to go..Ive got a copy of VB .Net 2003, and Ive also downloaded VB 2005 Express edition, with a possible view to getting hold of Visual Studio 2005 to program VB 2005. The problem (and confusion) that I have is - what is the difference, and which should I turn to?Am I right in assuming that VB.NET 2003 and VB 2005 are different, or am I ok to learn .NET 2003 until the 2005 version comes out?I know this might seem like a dumb question, but I want to move onwards and upwards and am a little confused, as I dont want to concentrate on 2003 if I'm going to be learning an outdated language in the next couple of years.
