What Details To Keep In Mind When Distributing Application
Apr 11, 2012
On Windows 7, VB.NET Express, I have developed a simple Forms application. I don't really make use of any external plugins or anything - it just has a couple buttons, pictureboxes, GDI operations to modify some images.And now it is complete. And I would like to already upload it. But, since this is actually the first time I try to submit something, what other details should I keep in mind when distributing my application? I mean stuff like... will my application work as expected in other machines? Other Windows versions? I am not in a proper position to test it in other machines, I fear, so I am relying the "default" settings and hoping it will simply work.

I am using VB .NET 2003. I have created a user defined Class Library and created a reference to it in my application. Is there a way I can compile the application so that the Class Library DLL is embedded into the application? I would really like to be able to distribute the application without having to distribute the DLL as a second a file.
In other words, I made a New Class Library lets say called TEST. I developed a new class within this library called MYCLASS. I built the Library TEST and created TEST.DLL. I then made a new visual basic project called APP1. I added a reference to TEST.DLL. I now can use TEST.MYCLASS within my APP1 project. The application APP1.EXE will run in the test environment, but if I move it to the runtime environment it will give me an error "File or assembly name TEST or one of its dependencies was not found". To correct this error I can place TEST.DLL in the directory where APP1.EXE resides. I would prefer not to have to put TEST.DLL in the directory. Can I easily compile it into APP1?

The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)[code]

I have the following code which deletes a row after confirmation. As I know a little bit with message boxes, I could not figure it out. Hence if I say 'Yes' or 'No' the selected row is deleted. Please fix the problem.
MsgBox("Do you really want to delete this row ?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo)
With MyCommand
.Connection = modConnection.MyConnection

I use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.
Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?

I'm trying to get a details view in ASP.NET to display the details of the logged-in user only. I have been told to use:
select * from STAFF where USERNAME = user.identity.name
I thought this was too simple to be true and I was correct as it shows no data when I attempt to run.

I've made an application and it connects to my database. But the issue is the details of the database can be found out through packet logging or something. How can I stop this from happening and secure it, without having to have a third party such as PHP script etc.

I have just tried to publish a program on CD using the ClickOnce method.Everything worked well until I tried to install it on my Laptop.The program installed and ran OK on my desktop (where I created the program) and I copied the files to CD. There were two files;The program name of type Application Manifest (.application) and the Setup file (.exe).I went through all the procedure as dictated in the help file including the part that said "Closer Look: Including Prerequisites With Your Program" but nothing I tried seem to work. It appears as if I need to download further files??

My problem with distributing a program on CD has not as yet been resolved.
It does appear as if the problem is related to the .NET file as the error messages I get state the file cannot be found.
how and where I can get it and what I do with it when I've got it?

I'm in the midst of developing a class library DLL for a third party application. On my machine, the developers machine, things are going along smoothly. I can compile/build and my DLL is loaded, and thus works as expected.
I've been copying the contents of the Release directory from C:Solutions...Release to C:ProgramDirectory. I realize now that my DLL is loaded into memory from the Release folder, and not the folder I copied it to.The point being of course, I want to distribute this third-party add-in to my users. And sure enough when I try that, presumably the DLL isn't loaded into memory and thus not available to the user, like it is on my machine.
I tried the first obvious thing and registering the DLL on the user's machine, but that failed."The module "..." was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found." It's apparent I am missing some key step or caveat when it comes to developing this class library.

VB2005: So I created an app that connects to an Oracle 9.2.0.1 using the .net oracle adapter. I can issue queries and process the results. This all works fine on my development machine but now that i have distributed the app to my group I find that it bombs on certain workstations, specifically when it comes to connecting to the Oracle db. I've done a little bit of research but havent come up with anything definitive.
So what should I install on my users desktops to make sure that the connection works?

I'm trying to send my program (a very small program) to a friend by email, but the two methods I've tried are both causing errors at his end. I've tried the two methods described in the helps files - firstly, just finding the exe in it's folder, compressing and sending it by email. That worked for the first few files but now it no longer works. Secondly I've tried publishing the file using the build option to a DVD/CD (i.e file). The file works fine to install the program on my own machine, but when I send it to my friend (compressed again) he gets errors.

I came in recently with VB.NET and have created some very simple programs e.g. specific calculations that I would like to share with some people (for free), because they have found them useful. I am not to sure with the law on this. Is it legal to distribute my own work and how will I identify it as my own because some wiseguy could claim it's his own and I won't be able to prove it.

I recently found an awesome tool called "Freemind" that is called a 'mind mapping' program. It's similar to MS Visio but way cooler and more automated.I reeeallly would like to integrate this into a VB.net Form, but how?
Has anyone seen or heard of mind mapping inside VB.net before? Are there programs out there already that work with VB.net or anyone have an example they have seen / built that works?

When you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.

I have a form for the Clients, and the user goes through and adds in all their details. But sometimes two Clients are linked together in a marriage or whatnot. I have one Clients table, and if I make two details views of it, all that happens is both views display the same Client, when they should be different. Currently, I'm adding in the second client via another form, and using textchanged events to display the data on the original form. How would I put both clients on the same form without the first clients information repeating itself? I would like to avoid using binding sources if possible.Also, I have a second question, how do I refresh the information in the details view without using binding sources? I've used queries for add/edit/delete, and I've attempted to create one to refresh, but it's not working well at all.

I need to be able to get the details of a m4a file (Title, artist, album) via a script so I can rename and move the files into a folder. Currently I have around 3200 songs that I accidentally renamed and moved to the root of my drive. I want to write a script to put them back into an organized file structure. Is there a way that I can do this using VB or Powershell?
