View 2 RepliesPublishing Vb Application With StreamReader/StreamWriter .txt Files
Mar 4, 2012In my code I've allowed used to create their own mazes and save them, under whatever name they like. I've also included a few pre-created mazes. The mazes themselves are saves in .txt files in the bin/debug folder of the project, along with a .txt file containing the maze names.
I really need to publish this program to send it to my teacher, but when I publish it it doesn't include any of the .txt files in my bin/debug folder.
Publishing VB Projects - Files Required To Run The Executable
Feb 19, 2009When a project is built in VB, the executable file is created in the \bin\Release folder. Apart from the executable there are other files that get created:
MyProject.application
MyProject.exe.manifest
MyProject.pdb
MyProject.xml
Are these files required to run the executable? Is having just the MyProject.exe file in the setup enough? And what are these files for?

Publishing Application Files (MySql.Data.dll.deploy)?
Jun 26, 2011Using: VB 2008 Express?I created an application that connects to my MySQL, and everything works fine, but...
1. On my development computer, Windows 7, 64bit, I add the MySQL.data.dll file as a reference. I publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
2. I then copy my published folder to my test computer, Windows Vista 32 bit, and upon running the setup, the program fails to work because it cannot find the Mysql reference.
3. I then transfer my entire project over to my Vista computer, publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
4. I finally found out what was happening. My Windows 7 comptuer was not including MySql.Data.dll.deploy file in the Application Files published directory; but when I compiled it on the Vista machine this MySql.Data.dll.deploy was included.
So, in the end, I cannot compile the program on Windows 7, because it fails to create the .deploy file, and use it on Vista or XP (for some reason Win7 doesn't need this .deploy file?); but I can publish it on the Vista machine and install it fine on Windows 7, Vista, or XP. My targe CPU setting is Any computer.
Install .rtf Files In Folders When Building/publishing/installing Program?
Oct 18, 2010I could not figure out the key to installing folders/subfolders/.rtf files during deployment/installation. The key here is to 'add' folders and subfolders to the project in solution explorer, then adding existing item (.text (.rtf files in my case) files) then selecting the .rtf file in solution explorer.go to its properties and under 'Build Action' select 'Content' (very Important!). Then under 'Copy to Output' select 'Copy if newer'!Then in code to access these files you use the following code:
Me.RichTextBoxDisplay.LoadFile(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "KJV BibleOTExodusExodus KJV.rtf"))
Finally after 3 days of research and 2 days at the msdn forum picking peoples minds (smarter than mine) and lots of prayer, I got it!

View 10 RepliesVS 2010 Publishing With Dlls
Jul 11, 2010I have this vb program that uses 2 dlls i made in c++, the dlls are attached to the project and are set as "copy always" and in vs debug mode they work fine, however when i try to publish the program and run it it can no longer find the dlls even tho they are right there next to the program itself the dlls are declared as following: Private Declare Function Trace Lib "Lowstuff.dll" (ByVal targ as IntPtr) As UInteger.so what im thinking is that maybe theres like a switch in project settings i didnt flick or maybe i need to specify the dll with full path or wut?
As it turns out it had nothing to do with vb afterall, it was the c++ dlls that had to be made as static. However now i have a new problem: Im geting a bunch of overflow exceptions from my program but only on other computers, in the dev machine it reports no errors or warnings whatsoever, i also went over function where the error was generated and all the functions it used and detected no fault so how am i supposed to track these down?
Prevent Studio From "publishing" XML Documentation Files In Web Projects?
Feb 16, 2012Note: This question is similar to How to prevent the copy of XML documentation files in a release mode build?, but it's not the same and the answers there don't apply. Read on to find out why. (Please ask in the comments or in chat if you disagree, I'll be glad to elabroate).
I have a library project (myLibrary) and an ASP.NET web application project referencing this library (both are in the same solution). "Generate XML documentation file" is checked for the library project, because I want to have those nice IntelliSense features while developing.
When I publish the web application (Context Menu on the project/Publish...), it copies only the files required for running the application (no source code, etc.) to some publish directory. That's good. Unfortunately, it also copies the XML documentation file of the library. Since I consider our library's documentation to be a trade secret, I wouldn't want it to end up on a customer's server. Thus, we have to remember to manually remove this file from the publish directory before deploying it.
Is there a way to prevent Visual Studio from copying this file when publishing the ASP.NET project, but still retain the benefit of XML documentation IntelliSense when developing?

Jul 28, 2010I have a solution with two projects. The main project connects to the second project via a reference, and the reference path is local to my machine. It looks like it references the .exe file.So when I publish the main project (ClickOnce), i get the following error:
Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.In the log file, under Error Details, it says
System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (RefDefValidation)
- Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the download assembly Project2.exe

How can I include this second project? Should I publish it, then reference the published files? What do i reference? The .application file?Is there a way to just include this second project, so when I do publish the main project, the second one just goes along with it?

.net - Publishing WCF App?
May 12, 2011I had a working WCF published to IIS on my server. Recently I created another, self-hosting WCF (windows service) and added a reference to it from my WCF on IIS. Like this:
ASP --> WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Now, I can't seem to add a reference to my first WCF in my ASP app. So I've got this:
ASP XXX WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Here's the service model from the WCF in IIS. I'm publishing to http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/

View 19 RepliesA Boolean Value Does Not Persist After Publishing
May 1, 2009I'm working with Visual Basic 2008 Express. My application opens with the Terms screen, a form that asks the user to declare his acceptance of certain terms and conditions or to decline. If he accepts, the app opens the main screen, giving him access to all the app's facilities. If he declines, the app gives him a message and then closes. Whether he chooses to accept or decline, the app puts his decision in My.Settings so that it can be used next time the app is opened. In this way he is presented with the Terms screen on the next opening if he declined on the last run. But if he accepted on the last run, he is presented with the main screen on his next opening.
All works fine when I do a debug run. But when I build and publish the app onto my desktop it opens with the Main screen instead of the Terms screen.
why it works on F5 but not after publishing?
