VS 2010 Dll Reference And Application Deployment?
Feb 20, 2012
I am successfully using a dll reference in VB.NET project. When I export the application to another PC by using a deployment setup, the application does not start at all. I have included the dll file inside the deployment setup so that this file is copied in the application folder. If I remove the dll file from the deployment setup, the application starts normally.I was wondering how I should set the properties of the reference in the .Net project. I am attaching a view of the references dialog where the used reference is highlighted.

I have the following code under a button labeled "Exit" for exiting my application. Code:Application.Exit()It has been working fine. I added a reference to System.Deployment and the compiler suddenly doesn't like Application.Exit(). Can I not use Application.Exit() and have a ref to System.Deployment at the same time? Upate: I got it. I used the Object Browser and found "System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit" which works with System.Deployment referenced

I've developed a database application in VB.Net Express 2010 and am having difficulty deploying it. The only deployment method available to me using the Express version is OneClick deployment. I can't figure out how to include the Access database file in the package.

I've developed a database application in VB.Net 2010 Express and published a ClickOnce deployment package, the only choice in the Express version. The installation is supposed to create a listing on the Start menu but this isn't happening. Also, I'm using a specialized Hebrew font in the application that is not carrying over to the installation. what I'm doing wrong or if the ClickOnce publishing method is not capable of working in this way?

I have a project that I am attempting to deploy. In my project I was using a SQL Express DB and after my first build I installed on my test PC only to find that it was going to make me install SQL Express which I defiantly do not want so I decided to scrap the DB.
I excluded the DB from the project, when into the project properties pages and removed all references to SQL and system.Data, Went into the code and removed all the "Imports" statements for SQL and Data and commented out all the SQL DB code. I then tried another build and had the same results. I started looking at the files and then I realized I did not change the app.config file. I went into it and deleted out the connection string entry. I built the project again only to have the same result. I cannot seem to see what could still be referencing SQL. Isn't commented code ignored?

I began setting up a TeamCity server a couple days ago for use in automated testing and CI. We mainly do VB.net web apps and up until now, it had been checking out things and building just fine.
A problem came up when I tried to add actual deployment into the mix. I saw this article: [URL]
referenced all over the place as a good guide, so I followed the steps relating to setting up a Web Deployment project and rigging TeamCity to run it. Basically, it recommends setting up a new build configuration in VS2010 called "Deployment" which builds the Web Deployment project, then creating a build configuration in TC that targets it.
The issue is that the web deployment project won't compile when run under TeamCity. The regular build works just fine, but if I set MSBuild to use the build configuration that includes the Web Deployment project, it crashes halfway through and gives an error about attempting to load the System.Data.OracleClient assembly in an incorrect format. I assume this means a 32-bit/64-bit error, especially since my development machine is a 32-bit box, and the build server is 64, but I don't know why this is happening, especially when the regular build works, and nothing in my project involves using an Oracle database.
I saw in the log that there's a warning about missing reference assemblies for the 4.0 framework, so I headed off to the MS website and downloaded the SDK, but that didn't change anything. At this point, I'm stuck, and I didn't see anything already here on Stack Overflow that looked quite like this. I'll attach the log below. Have I missed something simple?
[10:46:05]: Project "MyTools.sln.teamcity.patch.tcprojx" (TeamCity_Generated_Build target(s)):
[10:46:05]: [Project "MyTools.sln.teamcity.patch.tcprojx" (TeamCity_Generated_Build target(s)):] Project "MyTools.sln" (Rebuild target(s)):

I have decided to try and engage creating my first app with a database. I have run through all the VB Express 2010 default tutorials and feel confident to move up one notch.My application on has two users and we do not have a server, just a file sharing setup which works okay if youre using MS Access DB. I have also constructed the app with a Service based DB attached to the project (VB Express 2010)I have spent a week trying to research this on Google but cannot find any specific answers to my questions.So, how do I setup the app prior to publishing so that I can install the app on both desktops and have SQL server installed on only one of the desktops with the DB residing on that?

Basically I've written two Apps (A and B) and all I want to do is put a link on the menu of App A which when clicked will fire-up App B.
Normally what I'd do is something along the lines of...
Shell("C:PathAppName.exe")
However, both of my apps are installed on the target machines via a Setup-Kit generated by the Publish Wizard in VB.NET. As far as I know, after you've run the Setup you don't get an EXE file for the actual application - you just get an 'Application Reference' on the Start Menu and/or Desktop.
My problem is that I don't really understand what the Application Reference is and how my application is actually deployed onto the target machine after setup has finished...
Given that I don't seem to have an EXE file after running Setup, I need another way of telling App A to fire App B, because I'm guessing I can't use my Shell command anymore?

I am tyring to deploy vb.net application on a network environment ( windows xp and vista machines ) with sql server database. The application itself needs to access database as do all machines. I cannot install sql server due to cost and technical limitations at installation. Is there a way I can connect vb.net application on all machiens directly to some physical file like MDB ( access ) file but with sql server database ( I think something like Mdb was used to server data earlier)

All it is is that when playing World of Warcraft people are having to clear their cache for the game to operate all the time, if they don't do this then the game bugs out in some places - so I thought of this as a way to get better at VB .NET by making a small application that asks for the directory of their WoW folder, searches through their cache folders and deletes the ones that they are also asked how they'd like to delete.I don't plan on actually releasing this in any way, I just want to make it to further my VB .NET skills and hopefully get a little better.
Anyway, it doesn't make sense much, sorry about that, but all I want to ask is if this program will work on any other computer or will I have to find a way to deploy it?Also, one thing that I thought I should put in this program is a backup function just in case something goes wrong. I just thought of moving the cache files that are being deleted somewhere else but this will move the files and folders one-by-one, is there any way I can make a certain type of file that only this program can read, where the files being backed up are placed in?

I've developed a small application using VB 2008 express and I am trying to deploy it for the first time.I have done this using the options with VB 2008 express and installed onto another PC. I find it has installed using what is termed a user instance which I understand comes with some limitations.I want the option for the application and data base to be multi user in the future. I want to be able to connect to it from Business intelligence for reporting purposes (there is no report viewer control in VB2008 express) and ideally I would like to be able to back it up using SSMS.Does anyone know what the options for deployement are and how to deploy using a "traditional" instance rather than a "user" instance?

So I created an application with vb.net, I added Messenger type Api in preferences, compiled my program and everything was fine. However I can't run the program from other directories. It says that the .dll is missing. I'm trying to include the .dll to the program somehow - no success, how that should be done? Friend tried to help me and said I should add "Application block" something to the references. I can't find that though.

I have an application developed in VS2008 VB.net. It is a numberpad with buttons for 0 - 9.When published and installed on my local PC, everything works as expected. I open a browser window, and am able to click a number-button and have the corrosponding number sent to the active window location. When installed on other PC's, the numbers sent to the active window location are repeated many many times. If you click the "3" button, then anywhere from 10 to 50 "3"s are sent to the screen.All PC's have Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.The only differences I can detect are the many many .NET frameworks installed on my computer and not on others.[code]

I am not an expert in using vb.net, but I am trying to make my vb.net project accessible to others. I've done it before (about 5 years ago) with another program. This program is basically the same just for a different product line for us. I have all the files on a server. I published everything to a directory on the server...the directory is in the same spot as the other directory. I checked all of my project properties and have now made sure they are the same as my other project. The publishing works fine. But, when I try to run the setup.exe or the .application file, I an error message that pulls up a log file. I've looked all over and found similar log files, but no solution that seemed to work. Here is what the log file is telling me. Any help would be great. I am thinking it is something simple...remember I am not an expert. And, I know I got the other one to work a few years ago when I moved it from visual basic 6.0 to vb.net. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to work with my project.

I use VS 2008 Standard. If I do a QuickOnce deployment after resetting Application Files in the Publish Tab I get a bunch of messages saying that various files are not in the GAC. To solve this I change the Publish Status from Prerequisite (Auto) to Include and set Download Group to Required. Then when I install the application I get the splash screen and then the message that the application has stopped working. There was a workaround posted to delete /bin/obj/.cache etc, but I have no /bin/obj/ folder.

All,I seem to have stumbled upon a ClickOnce error that stops me from auto-updating. When I Deploy my program using ClickOnce it publishes to the specified location and installs just fine. I can run my program no problem if I activate it from the start menu. However, I have code that registers the program as the default to open a specific file type. Naturally, I want my user to be able to double click on the file type of my choice and have my program open like normal. All-in-All this works.
The problem arises because I need my program to check for updates before loading my program, much like it does when I open the program from the start menu (I set the auto-update check within the ClickOnce options). However, this check does NOT run when the user double-clicks a file type to run my program, it merely skips this step and opens the program. So first I tried to find a way to run the Update manually through code, what I cam up with was this: [Code]

I've created my first Visual Studio (2010) app. It's a simple, single form, single exe app. I set the application icon in Project Properties and built the app. When I view the exe file in Windows Explorer the small icon displays but when I copy the exe file to my Windows 7 desktop I get the default exe icon instead of the icon I've specified. If I copy the ico file to the desktop the picture displays and when I create a shortcut to the exe file and specify my ico as the icon it also displays.

I have a setup and deployment project that installs my application. During installation, I create a hierarchy of folders under the C: drive.
However, when I use add/remove programs to uninstall my application, I do NOT want this hierarchy of folders to be removed. How is this possible?
Also, when creating the folders, I set "AlwaysCreate" to True. If one of the folders already exists, will it be replaced with my new empty folder? If so, how can I prevent this.

I've created a setup and deployment project for my vb.net application using the Visual Studio 2010 wizard. I also added the eula.rtf file to the setup project and set it to install to the user's application folder. I then added a license agreement UI dialog in the setup project and pointed the licenseFile to eula.rtf. However, when testing the resulting setup.msi, the UI License Agreement dialog appears but no text is displayed inside the box where the eula should appear. I tried re-naming the eula and tried to change the encoding of the file but without success. Am I missing something? What should I do to make it work?

I have created a windows application which Installs Multiple MSI's based on some condition. The project is created in Visual Studio 2008 with .Net framework 3.5; If this application runs in a machine which has atleast Dot Net 2.0 installs, it works fine. but the system without framework 2.0 throws an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"
How can I stop my application from crashing. I tried giving a check in the Main(), but it is not even firing the Main(); Is there any way I can give a prerequisite, But not in the Publish, Coz i am using the output exe and not the clickonce output..

I have a icon for my application that I set in the project properties window there is a little drop down box to browse to the icon location. While debugging everything is good. Once I build the app and place it on a PC and manually start the app all is good. My app starts with windows and now every time the program goes to start I get an error that the icon cannot be found in the DocumentandSettingUSERNAME folder. So the question is do I have to place my app icon in this folder? In design I have the icon in the binDebug folder and that is were I point to in the Project properties page.
I am using VS 2008 VB.net.
