I'm not a daily programmer so these nuances regarding VBnet drive me crazy. I've written my app with a P4, XP, dotnet 3.5 PC using VB express 2008.Does that mean are not NOT compatable with any machine running dotnet 3.5?

I've created a small app in VB that creates Word documents from data stored in Access, which I plan to distribute for non-commercial purposes. I'm using VB 2005 and Office 2007.
All the target machines are either Windows 2000 or XP.
1) I know that if I use mdb file for Access, I don't need to install Access on these machines. Is it true for accdb files as well ?
2) Is a Word installation required on each of these machines ? Or, can I make VB to create an exe that takes care of this ?

View 8 RepliesIs there any better way of copying an application so I would have included all kind of things like the right references? I need to copy this big and ambitious application in order to work with it on different machines. Because all I got is errors that I cant get rid of, and it does not build the application, so I can't work on it. I was trying to reference the right components, it lessens the errors but still no chance to run the app.
Thats the link where I posted the errors: [URL]
I've nearly finished my latest project (VB 2008 Express Edition) I built the project and ran the .exe from inRelease and it appears and works exactly as it did in Visual Basic
When I carry this .exe to any other computer, it displays differently. The biggest difference is the font size in labels (grows on other machines) and the size of the tabcontrol is a bit larger on other machines. see the links below for comparison (coding machine vs other machine) [URL]
note that both machines were set at the same screen resolution, both were using the default Windows XP "Theme" and display fonts appear to be set the same on both machines. I've tried this on about 3 other XP machines with the same result (only looks correct on the machine I coded on)
I've specifically used Microsoft Sans Serif font, size 8 (VB seems to display this as 8.25pt in the properties window) I have also tried making all labels "UseCompatibleTextRendering" both true and false with the same result. Perhaps something on the original (programming) machine is different that is throwing this off? Am I missing a step when building this project? If other encounter this problem often, what steps do you take (when programming) to avoid this and allow the form(s) to display correct regardless of the user's settings?
Edit: One difference can be found in (Right Click on Desktop -> Properties -> Settings Tab -> Advanced Button) the DPI Setting on the coding machine is Normal Size (96 DPI) The DPI on the other computers is Large Size (120 DPI)
The application will be used by roughly 100 folks on various systems (some Windows ME, most XP). How can I prevent things from going crazy with different user settings?
Is there an easy way to export remote event logs FROM an XP machine?
I know there is System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogSession from Vista onwards but I can't seem to find something for XP systems.
I made a program a month ago and i gave it to the customers.recently they report some bugs and i fixed them. when i send the new version installer to them, they have some problems running it.i used vs 2008 to write it, but i removed vs 2008 and installed vs 2010 last week. when i opened my project to start fixing program bugs it asked for convert wizard so i did it.i made changes and build it. i use installshield and i add framework 3.5 Sp1 as prerequisites.
note : i was using inno setup first time. so i changed the installer too.so i tried installing the program on my machine.i just noticed that i have only .net framework 4 installed my own system. so i have no idea how the program runs without any problems on my own system. i have even tried installing it on another machine who had framework 3.5. it it work on that too.the error shown on customers machines is related to framework version. everytime i send them a new version they have some problem installing/running it.
I have a Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition application that operates as a front end for iSeries V6r1. The application was developed on a windows 7 machine. Users load the application from a shared folder on a server. Currently, there are 2 Vista, 3 windows 7 and 4 XP users. All had no problem in loading application, all users except 3 of 4 XP users can run the application with no problems. However, 3 of the XP users receive the following error message when they perform any action that tries to connect to the iSeries:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
All 4 XP users are on same service pack
Initially I added an Access database to my project and handled ommunication/manipulation with the Db this way. When I made changes to the Db they did not reflect in the Database in my project so I began manually writing code to get to my Db. The original Db remains in my project, along with all the objects it created (tableAdapters, etc.) only they are not used at all. As I stated, I communicate manually.
Now, almost a year later, I figure there has to be a way to add the Db to a project and it reflect the Db as it evolves. Essentially, I want to use the objects I've created in my Db (Reports, Queries, etc.) in my project. Maybe there are classes/methods/objects available to get to these Access Db objects manually as well? I've searched, but nothing definitive.
I've started to develop a small rpg style game, I've got all the movement of the character and map and the collision detection done but now I'm actually writing the GAME.So I start off with a message displaying saying "hello blah blah blah"My problem is how do I link from that message to the next one, started when the player moves.
Here is all my code, as you can see I start a Next_Event sub but I'm just poking around in the dark if someone could give me some pointers, that would be excellent!

I have been assigned to a project where an existing developer has been working on a web app on VS 2008 storing all files on his local workstation.I need to assist and eventually take over deveolpment of the web app development. My workstation only has VS 2005 but I will be installing VS 2008 in the coming days.

View 2 RepliesI developed an app using the .net framework 3.5 sp1. I have now been told that the published version must not require sp1 but just the 3.5 framework.
So I uninstalled sp1 from my pc but not cannot publish the app. The app code will run without error but when I build it for publishing I get the error The "RequiresFramework35SP1Assembly" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv3.5" directory.

View 4 Replies While I can do DoDragDrop() to initiate a FileDrop from a listview to Windows Explorer, how can I tell anything about the target of the drop? For instance if I wanted to find the path where my files were dropped to?

2) DoDragDrop completes and the file is moved.
3) ?? How do I tell where it was moved to ??
I am at the stage of planning the application which will conect to a Ms SQl database, and process some data to Excel files.The problem is, that i would like to make a base pure application, without any functionality, and then add functionalities by adding some external files with code to program folder.I`not sure if what i just wrote is clear. To simplify:I would like to have an application which connects to a database, but let`s say when after 1 year, i will be in need of some more functionality, i woun`t have to change the code of whole application, but can just add a new file, and when I run the application there will be one more function to be chosen from the list.

View 2 RepliesI want to refactor my existing application to work with as a client/server app, and was looking at introductions to Remoting.I got a simple system up and running 2 days ago, and haven't touched it since until just now, but now I'm getting an error message when trying to instantiate a class from the remoted DLL : "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".The server and client are both actually running on the same machine for simplicity at the moment. I have three "applications" involved - a class library containing the server functionality, a listener application sitting with the server, and then a client applicaition.Most of the articles I can find online referring to this error seem to apply primarily to asp.net but I'm just using traditional vb.net (2008)I initially suspected the cause may be firewall related (as when I first got it running I was prompted to allow access) but I've turned off my McAfee firewall and also my Windows firewall with no joy, and besides - the error message seems to imply that communication with the server has been established but that it doesn't want to play ball.

View 1 RepliesWe have currently upgraded our development machines to Windows 7 and Office 2007. We have a vb 2008 app that references 2003 Office components to use for mail-merging to word.We loaded up our app in the vb environment today and were instantly greeted with missing components/functions which are related to the 2003 Office components. We can update these to use the Office 2007 components/functions instead, however we are unsure whether after doing this our vb app will work with machines only with Office 2003 on. can machines with Office 2003 on work with our vb app that references Office 2007 components?

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:

I have developed an application is VS2010 ( VB app using .NET4 ) ... the application runs fine under Windows 7 and on (3) XP machines we have here. Had one user looking for support on an XP machine ... when he started the app nothing happened. No errors or anything, just nothing happened. Had him install the latest .NET4 framework and everything was fine.
Just had another support issue ... user with the same complaint ... had him install latest .NET4 ... but this time did not fix the issue ... still nothing happens when he clicks to start the app ... no errors ... just nothing happens.
I can't check this because it runs on all our XP machines .... Is the only criteria that .NET4 be installed? I created an install that includes only the EXE from the BINRELEASE folder ... nothing else. Do I need anything else. Strange that it works on all our XP machines.
