I have an XML file in Bin/Debug that I am referencing using the code below. It works fine in testing, but when i publish i get an error seen below the code.
How can I reference this XML file inside of the application?
Dim m_xmld As XmlDocument
Dim m_nodelist As XmlNodeList
m_xmld = New XmlDocument()

We publish official documentation into pdf's, tiffs, and cals depending on the document type. Recently, we have discovered that somewhere in our publishing process, the system can hiccup and cause a character or two to become missing. It's intermittent and not consistent. We have a fix for it, but unfortunately have hundreds of thousands already published in the repository. It was brought up that we may want to consider developing a batch comparison tool that would compare a newly published version to the original published version to identify the problem documents. There was multiple thoughts on how to do this:
1.) Compare file sizes... unfortunately, any variation will cause the sizes to vary and small variations may not accurately reflect in it.
2.) Binary comparison... not sure how this would work at a file level like this
3.) Hash MD5 Compare... not sure how this would work either.
So I thought I'd ask those out there with some similar experience, what is the best way using the .Net Framework to compare one tiff to another, one pdf to another, and one cal to another?
In the past I have written VB6 and VB NET 2005 programs that are installed and on the user's computer. This had to be done because the salesmen in our company have has a set of local data on their laptops so that they could do work and not be connected to our network. I would then sync the files when they connected to the network. (This same program is used by the rest of the company as well, but everyone else uses network data.)We are now at the point where we are not using any local data. Our salesmen access our network data using an iPad, VPN, and a Citrix server, which works fine
View 2 RepliesI have an application that uses some external files. When a button is clicked, it opens 2 excel files and writes to one text file. When I publish this, it does not include those files. How can I make it include those files in the final solution. I have added them into my solution explorer under different folder names but they are not there.

View 10 RepliesI'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?
View 2 RepliesWhen I publish my program I get no errors, and then when I install it on another machine it says it gives me the error that it can't read the txt file that it stores data in.

Anything I can do to have these included so my program can run on other machines?

View 3 RepliesI wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

But when I publish and try to run on another machine, it says the dll is missing.Am I right in saying that I need to add it to my references, with the Add button on the references page?

How do I fix this? My level of knowledge is very low, especially with dll's.

I have written a fairly basic application. It reads txt files, loads a SQL, and outputs to text files. The application compiles and publishes without an error. The app works perfectly on my PC. I can not get it to work on any other PC. Application will install without an error but when I try to launch the app, nothing happens. Running out of ideas to try and hoping someone may have some tips or tricks to try and see what is going on that I have not tried.I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 with Visual Studio 2008. The only references are for .net 2.0 and ADODB.DLL. I have setup the app to include all references as local copy to true.
I have tried installs on Windows 7 Pro, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Vista. All install without error. Have tried installed as user with admin rights and the PC's primary admin account. When you launch the app, there are no messages in all OS except Windows 7. It will basically Flash a message about checking for compatability and run you through a wizard to see if running as XP or Vista works and it doesn't.

Unfortunately .DateModified returns the last time that a page was edited instead of when it was last published. I've been looking through the documentation but I haven't been able to find any corresponding properties.
I edited the development copy of a cherished program beyond restore by CTRL+Z, the original version which I want to recover is already published and it is in the c:/deploy folder but I dont know how to open such files for editing. How can I open this deployed program to edit and add some methods. I was cautious enough to save the program before editing but I was suprised that the original was over written by the edited copy.

I've been working on a piece of software for a few weeks now and I've got to the point where I'm publishing it and testing it on other computers, namely my colleague's. We're both working on the same network and have similar permissions for our accounts, but for some reason the application will launch on my account but not his.
We've tried using the same computer and just changing accounts, but that won't work either; he still isn't able to launch the published application.
I receive the standard "[x] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message.
What is baffling me is that we've tried previous versions on his computer and they worked just fine. I can't think of any changes that I've made that would suddenly stop the application from running.
A few extra pieces of information: the application has a splashscreen, which displays for a few seconds before the error message crops up. In this time, the program is supposed to check if certain files and directories exist and, if not, create them. It also changes file attributes. These files exist in a directory we are both able to access and both have permissions to change. It also changes and sets some variables within the program itself, but I don't see that being an issue. It is able to catch exceptions of type IOException and InvalidOperationException (which was being thrown when a computer didn't have access to the intranet).
I have written a very simple program to simulate the operation of some electrical relays which respond to buttons pressed on a form.The important thing in the program is the pick and drop times of the relays so I use about 40 timers to simulate the operation
of the relays each stimulated either by another timer or the operation of a mousedown operation over an area of the window which has a GIF background.
The program works great when simulated within VB2010 Xpress but when I publish and install on either of my 2 laptops it freezes and does not respond to the mousedown procedures. It seems slightly better if I don't enable XP visual syles but still does not respond enough to be used. I am running 12 procs each time a continous timer runs out but altering the value of the timer does not make any difference. I've also noticed if I minimise the window and reopen the window it does move on slightly but still never responds to the mouse.
Also the timers in the program for the relay times seem to work at strange values and not those set sometimes? It seems to work OK on my main PC if I install it
Application runs fine on the computer that I used to create it.The application has 3 functions:

Button3...ftps image file only.
Publish and install on another computer and I have problems.

Button 3...ftp image file only.
