I've just developed my product, and I am wondering...How can I tell what operating systems it can run on,Obviously it works on Windows XP SP3, I assume Windows XP Home Edition will be fine also (32 BIT)
Will it work on Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows Vista?
I was wondering how I would make a program identify the operating system?
--EDIT basically so that the program can access a certain part of a file system no matter what the user directory is called?
i was wondering how far back in the windows operating systems visual basic builds would run. like the exe you build at the end will it work on old windows 95 systems and would it work on other operating systems such as linux apple ect..

When i build the application its not working on my friend's computer why?...probably cause this dll is missing. (net framework matches its not the prob) How can make it work? do i place the dll at the same location as the executable ?where do i find this dll? I dont want to publish my application just the executable and some extra files probably no need to install on another system to work.
View 14 RepliesI have an application I made and I created a Setup Project so I can install it on other systems and it almost works perfectly. It doesn't install over older versions even though I have that option set to True. So I decided to look into publishing to a website since it seems you can have the application look for new updates which is what I want since I'm still in testing and the source code is changing frequently. I found the Build -> Publish Application option but it won't upload to the site. Also, is this the right approach to accomplishing what I want?
View 4 RepliesI'm still using ye ancient 32-bit machine with ye olde XP.Currently I'm writing some code to add binary content to files, and I need to know, if the same code can be applied on 64-bit systems.For example an integer variable added to a binary file with:
BinaryStream.Write(SomeNumberDeclaredAsInteger)
can be safely loaded with
MyInteger = BinaryStream.ReadInt32
on my system, but is this also the case on 64-bit systems or should I truncate it to Int32 before writing it to file?

A few years ago I created an application using VB6. It works fine on all OS but considering vb6 is no longer supported and it lacks lots of features, I've decided to upgrade to VB.NET. Plus I also want my software to run on all future OS correctly. I was using the ADODC control on many of my forms. In VB.NET, if I go to Tools > Choose Toolbox Items, I see ADODC under the .NET framework components tab. Can I still use this or is it outdated/no longer supported? If I use it, will my software work on 32bits and 64bits systems? [code]But in VB.NET when I write this I get the error As Any is not supported in Declare statements. How should I write this in VB.NET?

View 2 RepliesAssignment Overview: Background: You have been approached by Learning for Life a locally based tuition company that teaches a small amount of courses (at least four) to a minimal amount of students (five to ten students per course). They currently utilise a paper based system and are looking to implement a computer based one as it has become difficult to store all the relevant information.
They are looking to implement two various systems, one to keep track of illnesses and the other as an enrolment system, keeping track of what courses the students are actually taking part in.
System Notes:
-Each student can only attend one course at a time
-There are only 6 lecturers in total
-There is approximately four to six courses running at one time
-There is normally five to ten students on each course
-They have included a system description as to the layout of the database required for the enrolments segment
-The enrolments program must have password based security where each user has a different password
Deliverables:
2 fully functional programs (fully annotated)

Report with the following headings:
-Introduction

View 2 Repliesactually i have to develop a project to monitor EDI/Edifact data that are send between different EPR systems.Different erp systems means also different database systems. So i have to develop an app to monitor up to 5 tables.These tables can be stored in SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL or DB2. What kind of data access do i have to use ? ODBC ? ADO.NET ?? I actually don't have an idea how to handle this.In the app (i have to write) there should be something like a "DB Configuration for EDI" and there i want to configure if it is SQL, MySQL or what ever that i have to access.In the different Databases all the tables have the same name (means in SQL there is a table called Actlog and in Mysql also a table called Actlog)How can i write my app that it is DB independent ??

I am wanting to expand my programming knowledge base and the only way I know to do that is to actually do stuff. I am wanting to write an application that performs common systems tasks from a single location. Just simple things like deleting text files, maybe displaying drive space, etc. In order to even begin to do this I have to understand more about the my.computer class in VB. Does anyone have some good info that breaks this class (and possibly related classes) down hierarchically? MSDN offers a lot of info but doesn't really give a lot in the way of explaining how certain classes are interrelated.

We have a Windows application, and we want to charge clients different prices base on their OS. There are 2 prices: 1 for client OS (XP, Vista, and 7), and 1 for Server OS (Server 2003 and Server 2008). My question is how can I retrieve the client's operating system from my vb code? By the way, I don't have to get the exact OS name, I just want to know whether it is a client OS or Server OS.

View 3 RepliesI have a VB.Net app that needs to print a bunch of pages from a secure intranet site; the app was made and was working for a non-secure site but now the app needs to login before accessing the web pages necessary to print. I get the error "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" when I use my new Sub which follows:
Private Sub SiteLogin()
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://url/login/")
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("user").SetAttribute("value", "username")
[code]....
This Sub prints the given page in IE, so I figured I could use the same WebBrowser1 object for the login Sub, as I don't know how to or whether I should declare a separate object for the SiteLogin Sub. Both of these functions are called after the WebBrowser1 object is defined however. I just need to be able to submit a simple login form to a set URL, and this info needs to all be hardcoded (there's no option to set the location or login info nor should there be).
