Why Is Access DB Not Getting Copied During Install
Nov 18, 2011
I'm trying to deploy my first program and I've run into the following trouble.The program uses an access database dbUserPractice.accdb. In debug mode, everything works fine.When I deploy, install and run the application, I get a System.TypeInitializationException (which I asked about in a separate thread). The inner exception is the following:
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException
Could not find file 'C:UsersPatrickAppDataLocalApps2.0DataW8EL4B31.5OL13DJ6BGK.5TNgmat..tion_97baec9c26ea8d1a_0000.000a_bf94ecc77eee8fa0DatadbUserPractice.accdb'.
If I manually paste dbUserPractice.accdb in the directory above, the application runs ok. Why isn't the installer putting the file where the application will need it? The file is part of the downloaded install package (it is in the 'Application Files' folder as 'dbUserPractice.accdb.deploy')

I am building a winform vb.net program that uses an access db. I have added the database to the program using the design-time tools in visual studio 2008 (added a dataset to the project), and I am now using the dataset to bind items within my forms successfully. When I debug the program everythin works great, but then when I publish the program, I get an error saying that the database was not found in the appdata/app/2.0/(a very long encoded folder name) folder.
How do I modify the project so that it publishes the database with the project using the one-click install?

I am using the publish wizard in VB 2010 Professional for deployment as I tried the InstallShield and the Standard Build and cannot get support. My last resort is this wizard. Please help me I am getting the following 2 warnings. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 SP1 for warning 2 and after I run the program it doesn't upgrade and appear in VB2010. How can I install it in VB2010 Pro. Also How can I get the .Net.Framework.2.0 installed.

I'm a bit confused here. I'm copying all the controls from one form to a panel on the main form and for some reason only about half of them copy.
Private Sub switchComponent()
Dim selection As String = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text
Panel1.Controls.Clear()[code]....
When stepping through the code, serverDic(selection).Controls has 12 elements, but only 6 of them get copied. Next time this gets called, only 3 get copied. Does Panel1.Controls.clear() somehow kill the references?
EDIT: Just to show that there are infact 12 elements in the collection:

i have a problem where i've hard coded the file path of an access database i'm using with a VB.net program. this means that if i publish the program the database doesn't publish with it and i have to "ship" the program with the the database file separately and create another form so the user can say where the file is held. i don't want to do this.is there any way to get the access database file to publish with the program and then access that file path by code? for example the database file is held in the same folder as the installed program and then is accessed by code so there is no need to use a specific file path.

I have an Web application that retrieves some db info and send it out to an html table. All created on the fly in vb code behind. For every post (row) in the db I also fill puts an instance of a Dropdownlist with items read from the db. That means that for every row I read from the database I read the same db info into the Dropdownlist (see the skeleton example below). A lot of overhead I think. It must be possible to create the Dropdownlist once before the loop and copy from that instance in the loop.

Code is below. I am designing this code to transfer a file at a specified time. Right now, I have it sending me an email when it succeeds for test purposes. It will be only when the file copy fails later.
Here's my question: how can I get the program to wait until the file copy is complete to report success or failure? Right now I'm using exists to see if it works, but some other method of checking the file will be built in later. Eventually, this will be deployed to various locations for a bit of automated backup.

I have a number of listboxes such as lstDivision1, lstDivision2 and so on. A user can choose the division they are interested in using code similar to:
For Each item As Object in lstDivision1.Items
lstDivision.Items.Add (item)
Next
These listboxes have their Visible Property set to False. The contents are copied to lstDivision which is visible on the form.What I want to know is how I can ensure that the correct listbox is being copied to lstDivision?

2 - Saves the server XML file it into a folder separate from the root folder of the application.3 - Deletes the local XML file in the root folder of the application.4 - Copies the server XML file to the local folder of the application.5 - Opens the application.6 - Closes the updater.Now when the application opens, it reads this XML file in the local folder. When I run it stand alone, it works fine and can find this XML file. However, my problem is when the application is opened by the updater, it can't read the XML file in the local folder. I check for this file doing File.Exists(XMLfilename) and it returns false but like I said, if I close the application and reopen it it works fine.
I'm thinking that for some reason the updater is "locking" this file so my other process can't read it? I can't close the process before I open the original application so I'm not sure what's happening here. My Update Folder is the users ApplicationData folder and the root directory of the application is in the Program Files folder.
This is my code in the updater:
Dim ImageDir As DirectoryInfo
Dim fi As FileInfo
