VS 2010 Deploying With Extra Files?
May 8, 2011
So my program works off a few templates in a folder called "Templates".So far, i have been deploying my program as though it would run from a CD. Deleting the autorun file, inserting the Templates folder myself, and then using a self extracting ZIP to make it easy for the user to install.While this works, i would like to make it easier on myself by just including the Templates folder and the two template files (both .xls files) in the program every time i deploy.I've tried dragging and dropping the folder + files into my solution explorer bin folder but it doesn't work.I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Express.

How can i store unlimited multi-row strings without the need of extra files?Example: the user enter a multi-row string into a textbox and clicks save. Then the program should save that somewhere. And then the user enters another string and clicks save. And then there is a combobox where it can choose between those 2 strings to load.Can i save them in some sort of collection like My.Settings.Collection? Where each text also has a header.

I'm concatenating data files, but the problem is that I'm seeing some extra bytes where the files are joined. The new file has extra bytes. I had thought this was maybe a problem with encoding.Here are the methods that I've tried to use to concatenate the files. The first example I'm getting extra 0xA0 0x00 bytes.
Dim inputfiles() As String = Directory.GetFiles(sourcedir, pattern)
Dim bufSize As Integer = 1024 * 64
Dim buf As Byte() = New Byte(bufSize) {}

I created a simple BMI calculator through the guide.I have built it and published it on my laptop running Vista Home Premium with .net 3.5 SP1 installed.I can run the setup and subsequent exe file fine on my machine but when I try it on my girlfriends netbook (one of those fiddly little things) it wont install saying that some of the files are missing. It is running XP and also has .net 3.5 SP1 on it.There are only 2 extra files in addidtion to the setup.exe that vb 2008 creates and they are the application manifest and the program icon, both of which are located with the setup.exe but it still won't install. It is an offline installation but won't run.I copied the bin folder from the project to the setup folder and tried that, still no joy, yet if I try and run the actual program directly it works?

I'm just getting started with Visual Studio (2005), and my aim is to write a fairly simple application in Visual Basic that will need to store some data to disk.What I really want is to be able to send the application to the end users (xp, vista, win7) and have them just be able to use it without having down download all kinds of extras. For example I'm guessing that if I use an SQL database in my application they will need to download SQl server express or some other sql downloadable?
If so is there a similar downloadable for MS Access?I'm just in the 'seeing how things work' stage at the moment and I don't want to waste time going down the SQL track just to find it won't actually work unless my users all download SQL to their machines (which they won't want to do).

I've tested an application (one that I'm developing) that utilizes MS Access database (.accdb) on a backup machine. And I consistently get an unhandled exception error saying 'The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. I suppose I get this error because the backup machine doesn't have a driver or whatever to read the Access database file. Reading
this topic titled "How to deploy VB 2010 application as a standalone without MS Access", I understand that I can just specify a prerequisite for this component (driver or whatever...) in the project designer window in reference to this page. I wonder if there is a simpler way of delivering the database component to users? Or should I abandon the Access database and use a different one for easier accessibility?

I am deploying a VB.net 2010 winforms application, and when I install it on the client's machine, the install process also installs an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. The application connects to a central SQL database on the server. To install, I am using the "Publish" option in VS 2010. Why does it do that? There should be no need for a local instance of SQL Express. Is there a way to avoid installing SQL 2005 Express (I know it is free, but I would rather not have it installed if possible).

1. I get an empty page at the end of a report. I have 4 pages instead of 3, 8 instead of 7 and so on. I see and print these empty pages. The report width less than the page width minus margins, so this cannot be the reason of my problem. How can I get rid of these pages?
2. If I have a few controls ReportViewer then to print the report I must to press each print button on each ReportViewer, and each ReportViewer prints with a new page. Have I possibility to print all the ReportViewers consequently pressing one button and to continue the report?

I wrote a small API gui to communicate over foundation fieldbus.I've used a While loop that constantly reads some parameter values from the bus. At the end of the While loop, I put Application.DoEvents()so that I can use another button to stop the reading process. It all seems good and easy.. but there's one problem: when I get the While loop running and wish to stop the process, I have to first click somewhere on the form, anywhere, before I could click any buttons(either 'stop reading' or 'reset' button mostly). That extra click makes my form seem unresponsive and lame.I wonder whether this is a problem pertaining to DoEvents() or my use of Foundation fieldbus.

I have recently developed a back end database in SQL server 2008 R2 and attached it to a application in VB express 2010.Everything works fine and when i publish the application, it works fine on my machine, but once i try to setup up the application on another machine i get the error message: A network related or instance specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server was not found or not accessible please verify the instance name is correct or allow remote connections.I have read numerous forums on this saying about changing the connection string and instance name.but with being novice i dont understand what needs to be changed etc.The sql server allows remote connections, but i am unsure what else needs changing to allow the application to work with the database on another machine.

I have an rdlc report that always produces the last page in blank. In this page, the header and the footer are printed but no data is shown (all data finishes in the previous page). I already checked and re-checked the horizontal and vertical printable areas and all the report definitions fit into these areas (if not, a blank page will be produced in between each page, I guess). If the report has one page, two pages are printed, if there are ten pages with data, eleven pages are printed

i would like some advice on how I would go about deploying my application I coded with vb.net and access.The problem I have been facing is that I cannot install it on another machine . It gives me an error saying that It cannot find the database in C:\Users\Weighbridge2\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\Data\. database.accdb when you install access runtime and access runtime sp1 and copy the database to that location then it works.Is there a more efficient way of going about this. I suspect it has something to do with the refferences and prerequisites but up to now i've tried almost all we know .

I built this vb.net windows application that uses an Access DB for data storage and it works fine in visual studio. The problem is, when I deploy, install it from an MSI, i get this error: (see below)If I right click on it and run this program as administrator, it works fine. I thought it was a permissions problem so I gave user, administrator and system full rights to all the files in the directory. But I still get the error.Isn't giving all the files in the program directory full rights the same as making it run as admin?

I have developed an application in vb.net.I use a dll that I build as part of a different project in my solution. For some reason I don't get the full functionality of my application with the dll built as a "release" version, but it does work if the dll is built as a "debug" version (that's a whole different problem).I don't have a problem, for now, using the debug version.However, the problem I'm having is I am trying to deploy the application to another system and if I deploy the debug version of the dll I get a runtime error (see below).I have the .net Framework installed. I'm just wondering what has to be installed in order to allow me to use the debug version of the new system? [code]When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I have a project that uses web references to make SOAP calls to several web services. When I'm working locally, the services are hosted on my local machine, so the URL of each web service is something like [URL]. When I deploy the project to a server, the URL needs to change to the production URL. Currently I am accomplishing this with a prebuild event that does a find-and-replace on each URL and overwrites it with the deployment URL before deploying. Surely there is a better way.
