View 12 RepliesI know that is strange situation, but I need to embed an EXE file (or the assembly code) into my project, so it can be started only by the application (it can't create the EXE in the filesystem and start it)...

Dim exestr As Stream = Nothing
Dim a As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
exestr = a.GetManifestResourceStream("Test.exe")

I have a single form in VB with an Access database. The form is used to browse the database and works perfectly, however when I compile it into a a single exe file, the database still has to be separate file in the same directory.
Is there a way I can include or embed the Access database as "part" of the exe file so that I have a single exe instead of having an exe AND a separate database file?
I have a standard "class library" project with a set of classes that I use to import in almost all my new projects.
The way I work is creating a new Solution with an empty project, which is my main project, and then I add to the solution the mentioned class library project, this way I can see both projects in the Soluction Explorer and even see the library code or update it if needed. Then I write the code in my main project and I compile.
This lead me to have 2 files when I compile: file *.exe and stdlib.dll
Some cases I use the lib for very small tools that I want to redistribute in a easy and clean why, so I would like to embed the stdlib.dll generated from my class library project into my *.exe file.

I support applications in VB6 and VB2003, and I'm trying to upgrade the VB6 app to VB2005, so I have three versions of Visual Studio on my pc. I ran VS2005 and opened the VB6 app to launch the upgrade wizard. It seemed to run fine until it threw an error saying it could not find the project it just created. The project I'm trying to upgrade is called MGxFromSAP.vbp. The error said it could not find MGxFromSAP.vbproj. The project file it actually created is called MGxFromSAP.vbproj.vs7.vbproj. When I try to open this project in VS2005 it says it was created in an earlier version of Visual Studio and needs to be upgraded.Did it perhaps invoke the VB2003 upgrade wizard instead of the new one? How would I be able to tell?
Should I just let VS2005 upgrade the vs7 project or should I try to deinstall the old VS2003 upgrade wizard and rerun the upgrade from scratch?

View 5 RepliesI have some PDF files that my application generates and stores on my machine. Now each file has a persons name and address string related to it in a database. E.g.
Filename | FirstName | Email
The files can be selected within the application UI and emailed out. Now I don't want to have to hit the database each time since there are alot of files. So , how embed the two strings FirstName and Email into the file itself, so when I load it into a FileInfo object there is someway to access the extra data.

I've just moved an external dll into a folder different from the main exe directory, so I had to use the <probing> command in an app.config file. Now however, the application won't find the dll unless I have the app.config file in the same directory as the main exe!

View 15 RepliesI have seen the previous topic in regards to this error/situation, however I was unable to find a solution to this issue as it pertains to my program in VS 2010.Essentially I frequently have this error, up to three times, when I'm working with my program. I've tried removing all of my resource files, reducing the number and completely re-creating my program. It eventually comes to a point when I can't work around these errors.I also frequently get the system.outofmemoryexception and have had VS shut down completely when I attempt certain tasks, it's happened twice in the past hour already. There's been one other, not likely related issue, whenever I attempt to change the startup form via the project>properties window, I am not able to accurately set the correct startup form. What I mean by this is, the only forms on that list are forms that were previously in the program (form2, form4) and now I have specific names for each form, neither being "form2" or "form4". When I attempt to debug, the program runs on a big blank 800x600 grey form.
View 1 RepliesI have had this issue for quite a while. In fact since VS2005 it concerns me more because so few other people report it.During a build, from the VB IDE I get the following errorvbc : error BC30143: Unable to embed resource file xthis continues for approximate 38 files. The associated system error is &H8007000e - this system error suggests a memory issue. I do have 4GB RAM in my dev machine. I am running Vista SP2 (although I have had this error since XP)I have tried the /3GB switch and the largeaddressaware 'fix', but this can cause issue with other applications.
If I get the above error in the IDE and then go and do a command line build, there is no problem.Periodically I also get numerous system.outofmemoryexception, this can happen when I try and open a form for editing for example. Other times the 38 entries can appear under a number ocircumstances, such as closing a formas if there is some kind of background compile going on (which I am sure there is).The above problems may not be related, but given the memory link of the 2 errors I think they are.
Just adding a file to my application so when it is published the file(s) goes with it is not enough, this application has links in it so when you click the links the file and it corosponding application open. I can link to the file on my computer easily, but this application is going to be distributed via CD or DVD so i need these file to go with them or the links are useless. I would just point the links at the cd drive, however not all PC's have the same drive letter making a default drive link a little complicated( yes im a newbie ). Here is a sample of what im working with, i want to link to 3 file types .docx, .pdf(thanks ADOBE SDK), .ppt and the like. so far the applications are working great so all i need is either how to add all of these files to myapp and link internally or some knowledge on how to write a link to the CDROM drive as oppossed to the D: or E: drive specifically.
