VS 2008 Updating Of The .exe File That Is Somewhere Else?
Jun 1, 2010
Right so I have my piece of software, it's complete (for now) and I want to get the final version of it and send it away. Once sent away the only way I'll be able to update it will be via a DVD or maybe if they download the update online.This is what I wanna know: I am just using the .exe file from the Debug folder, is this the right way? Do I need to compile it first and do a proper saving of the .exe file?Is there a way to specifically do the updating of the .exe file that is somewhere else? At the moment my thoughts would be to just copy the .exe file from the debug folder and wack it on a disk with a bat file that xcopys it. Is that considered the right way to do it?

I have created a local database using the DB wizard in 2008 express.I have created a table called users and I can access the sample data that I have entered into it using a windows form.When I try to add a new record things come unstuck. The record shows in the windws form as being present and the record count increases to indicate this. But when i check the DB itself there is no sign of the record.I am using the tableadapter method as outlined by MSDN. So the question is what am i doing wronghere is the code from the form:
Public Class frmS4
Private Sub UsersBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UsersBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click

I have been trying desperately to update a data base file (Microsoft Access file) through a DataGridView control. The form is very simple, containing only a button and the DataGridView control. Whenever I change anything on the DataGridView control and press the Update button, I get an error saying ""No value given for one or more parameters". Below there's a picture showing both my form and the whole code , along with the error message. In case it is not possible to update a data base file through a DataGridView control.

I am sorry to keep bothering you about this damn DataGridView control ... As you might have noticed I am having a hard time with the DataGridView control ... My latest problem has to do with updating the data base file (Access) through a DataGridView control .
Up to now I have managed to successfully edit an entry in the DataGridView control and moreover to successfully update the data base file itself .
The above form and its code work fine . The problem starts when I am trying to run the code of the Update button from another form .
You see , I have another form , through which I change the contents of some of the cells in the DataGridView control (back in Form1) . What I want next is to simply update the data base file itself , just like I was doing with the button in the first form , after I manually changed the cell in the DataGridView control .Thus , on the second form I have a button with this code :
Form1.Button1_Click(Nothing, Nothing) (of course the Click event is declared public)I have also tried :
Form1.Button1.PerformClick()
but still nothing ...Although Form2 successfully changes the cells back in Form1 , the data base file itself does not get updated ...If I manually press the Update button in Form1 I once again successfully update the data base file , but I want to do the whole thing by calling the Update button from Form2 .

I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

I have a webpage with a form that is used to edit some object. This object contains a Collection of other objects defined like this: Public Overridable Property Employees As List(Of Employee)
On a form I can delete an employee, add a new one or modify existing one. When I click save new values are sent to the server. On a server I check if the user exists. If exists then I modify its values, if it does not exist then I add it. All employees that exist on the server and were not sent are marked as deleted (State changed to EntityState.Deleted). I try to use the following code (dbCollection = database entities, newCollection = collection sent from the form):
[Code]...
This code does not work, because changing to EntityState.Deleted removes the object from collection, and for each loop breaks, since the collection is modified...I know that I can overcome this problem by using a for loop or adding objects to delete to some other list first, but I hope maybe there is a pattern that would make my code nicer.

I've got a program which acts as a schedule for sporting events.The program allows users to fill in event details and they get saved into a directory for the selected date and venue, and in it are text files with the details, and then on another page is a listbox containing all of these directories so that the user can view saved events, and the page retrieves the details from the text files and displays them how I wanted it to.BUT, my 'update' feature just will not work.
basically, I want the user to be able to change the details and press 'update' which will then write the new information to the relevant text files, BUT i get this error in debug mode:
The process cannot access the file 'C:Events PlannerSaturday, May 29, 2010 testvenue.txt' because it is being used by another process.
The code I'm using is below, and from what I've learned, and how I've already coded this program, it should work right?
Code:
Dim venueReaderUpdate As System.IO.StreamReader
venueReaderUpdate = _
My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader(ListBox1.SelectedItem + "venue.txt")

I am writing a simple app using Visual Basic 2008 Pro, and SQL Server 2005 as the backend. However, I copied the database file (.mdf) from another computer onto my laptop. I added it as a Data Source by having the Data Provider as "Microsoft SQL Server Database File" and have it attach the file to the local SQL server. However, it isn't set to copy the database to the output directory every time the program is run for debugging, as I thought that would save time.
Now however, the data update to the database are very wierd. I run the program, add some new data, save it, and it returns the new primary keys properly (that is, it turns from -1 to 4 or 5 or whatever, indicating that the data has been saved). When I close and re-run the application to check that the data has indeed been saved, it reflects the changes and shows me the new data. However, when the program is run again after some time, the changes I made are gone. I'm assuming this is due to some wierd way in which VB is updating the database that temporarily updates its cached or copied database, but doesn't actually change the real database. How do I fix this? I had previously done the same project on another computer, except there the data source was directly the local SQL server, and I had created the database directly on the server through Visual Studio itself, and I didn't face those problems then. Is there any way to manually attach the SQL Server database file (.mdf) to the local SQL server instance permanently, and change the app to use the attached database instead?

Using VB 2008 Express.
How would I create a label that reports a file size at all times? Or, on a regular basis, say every 10 seconds or so.
In my form, I want a label to watch certain file sizes (logs, etc.) in case one suddenly becomes too big.
It is easy enough to report a static file size when a form launches, but changing it dynamically...I don't know how to do that yet.
The following example is generic and simplified for illustration purposes.
The file is C:Applicationapplication.log
The label might include:
("The application.log file is {0} bytes.",GetFileInfo.Length)
or something like that. But that would report a file size once and never again unless I quit and restart the form.
If any .NET concept is used, can you provide a link to the documentation or msdn stuff?

I am creating a database application via visual studio, using VB.NET and with an access database. I've connected them and have been using them fine so far however I've had to make some changes to the original access database. I am unable to find an obvious way to update the current dataset object within the project from the new updated source file. My database has this new schema but the dataset has the old one so its causing conflicts. The only way I've found to do this in the past is to manually update the dataset with the changes I've made in the access file, so actually doing the same thing twice! Surely this isn't the only way? The changes I've recently made are massive so will take sometime to have to do it all again. If I delete the current datasource object and add it again, there are many errors left from the deletion. If I manually try to update the files, there's always some hidden ones I've missed. Ive found some sort of guide for updating the datasource via the dataset but what I want to do is the opposite!

I am currently writing a program in vb.net that will read and write to an exel sheet using OleDbConnection. I can read in from the file fine. When I save to the excel sheet and open it, the changes are there, however, when I close the file it asks me if I want to save, which makes me assume that the changes are not saved even thought they show up.
Below is the code I am using:
Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & excelPath & ";" & _

I have a program that runs fine in the debugger. I started on the project in x86 mode this January and I've always been able to run it outside of the debugger, but this is the first time I've seen this error.The error says "ConfigurationErrorException was unhandled: Configuration system failed to initialize."The InnerException of the error said that the error was in the user.config file, and it gave me the directory of the user.config file that it was using. So I clicked synchronize in the project settings thinking that it would overwrite the current user.config file and that would probably fix the error. When it showed the confirmation dialog that it would delete the user.config file, I noticed that it had "vshost" in the directory.

I have an application that gathers data from a SQL database that is used by a 3rd party helpdesk application.My application is pulling out information of the number of hours worked by each engineer for the current and previous 2 months.Also as part of this process, my application works out the target hours for each of those months.
My application has 3 groupboxes whose label is generated at runtime. My application gives the Groupbox1.text the name of the current month, Groupbox2.text the name of the previous month, and Groupbox3.text the name of the month before that (e.g. Mar, Feb, Jan).
What I am trying to do is have 2 text boxes for each month where I can enter the number of engineer holidays taken and the number of public holidays if any. I want to store these values in an XML file, and I guess they need to be stored to match the Groupbox text (i.e. Mar, Feb, Jan).
When the application starts, I need to parse that XML file and re-populate the text boxes with those number of days - BUT if the month has moved on, so that the Groupboxes are now called Apr, Mar, Feb then I want the Mar and Feb data to be loaded, and I want the XML file to be updated so that Apr is added and Jan is removed from it.I want the XML file to keep the current and previous two months figures only.

I am creating a quiz game and I am having the users initials and scores saved to a text file. I then want a messagebox to display the text file.
I have two major problems.
1) I can get the text file to add a new line each time, but the message box displays all the text in one line.
2) The first entry in the messagebox is "form1" even though that isn't in the text file anywhere.

I have made an updater program which updates several files used by another application (again made by me). It works great. But when it comes to updating the updater itself I was in a dilemma.My updater program can download a file from the server but because it is running it can't update itself. I wanna know what would be the best way for the updater to update itself.
I thought after the updater downloads its own new executable i would run a .bat file which would remove the old updater and rename the newly downloaded exe. But again as the updater runs the .bat file and shut down itself, there could be a violation.How can updater update itself in the best way ? (just need a way for updater to get a new exe and get it replaced)
Note: Updater is a single exe application made in .net 3.5. It updater another application by downloading and replacing files.

The following function copies a file from Source & Path to Dest & Path, normally setting file attributes to normal before copying.Yet, a user of my app has reported it to fail when copying readonly files, returning a permissions-related error. The user is however running the code as administrator, and the error happens - quite strangely - on the SetLastWriteTimeUtc line.Although the code reports that the file attributes are set to normal, windows explorer shows that they are set to read only.

Originally, I tried to use an Update button to send the data from the dataset to the database. This did not work. I then added a Save button to the Navigator on my form in hopes this would do it. This too, failed.
