Any Way To Have Report Where All The Files In Project Are Actually Located?
Apr 19, 2012
I will have people send me (a zipped archive of) an entire VB project and when I try to open it, I get a message that "The system cannot find the file specified" for one or more files. I have had them bring their laptop with the project on it, and it runs, but when I search the folder, I only see the files they sent me. Apparently sometimes files get stored (or moved) elsewhere and their system will track the locations, so their computer can find the files??? Really not sure how or why this is happening.Is there any way to have VB report where all the files in a project are actually located? There are so many files and so many folders in even a simple VB.net project that trying to track these down myself is very frustrating.

I want to change the defaults of setup project, (ex. installallusers to true, it comes with false). Any one know where is the setup project template, so I can change it
Well whenever I reference a file I have been doing so using the full C://location/here kinda way, but my next program will be on CD so I need to figure a way to locate files that will be on the CD drive.In other languages I have used, %A_ScriptDir% and then go from there, is there something similar in vb?
I have two MS Reports with each their own dataset.The first one works but the other does not fill anything in it's table. When I debug the dataset, just before showing the Report, it's fill, and I did the same setup as with the first report.I get no errors og other input.. The table just not show any rows at all. Is their any log files that can tell me something and if so, where can I find them?
I have default.aspx used masterpage, in master page i have a control called DefaultMenuContent, this control have a dropdownlist with autopostback, the problem is loosing the selection even if i use Is Not PostBack in control's load event, how to persist the dropdownlist selection?
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.
My windows app works fine in my pc. Once I created a setup project and then install in a client pc, there is an error to load Crystal Report.How to add Crystal Report in setup project? (I added all dll file associated with Crystal Report but did not work)
I'm struggling to create a crystal report in a VB project,The objective of the report is to return one row of multiple database tables.
This is working by a parameter selecting an ID number in a CASE table, the CASE table contains some forgien keys related to CUSTOMER,ORDER tables etc.., i want to select these forgien keys and return the one row that they relate to in the different tables i.e get all the data from the CUSTOMER table, from using the forgien key, without having to enter another parameter.but am struggling with the syntax.
This needs to be dynamtic, as any ID number able inputed.
so far all i have got is ...
({?CaseID} = "ALL" OR {Case.ID}={?CaseID})
which simple reurns the single row in the CASE table.
I'm trying to add a Crystal Report to a VS 2005 VB project.Here's what I do: Right-click on my project, Add -> New Item Crystal Report Add a report with the standard report wizard (or just a blank report

UPDATE: OK, something's really screwed up. When I inspect the Me object above, it isn't even putting out the kind of object I expect. I think I may need to piece together the solution again.
I have a simple application with a crystal report in there. So, the crystal report runtime must be installed on the clients which use the app. Now i have create a setup.exe and under "Required Components", Crystal Reports Basic... is marked. I choose the second option below that Crystal Report should come from the identic folder. When i call the setup.exe or the *.msi file the app is installed under programs but without crystal reports.
I am using a Report Viewer Page in a Asp Project, As my query is big i have Somany columns to be included in the Report viewer. But i am in a position that i cant increase the Page size of the Report to be Correctly fix the Entire Columns in the Report.
When I open a Crystal Report in Visual Studio I can view options for how the fields are formatted such as the date and numbers. I'm running a crystal report in a project, is it possible to edit these settings through code?
Recently I started doing some VB projects again and I didn't remember the code to scan folders and subfolders for files. Then I did a search and found this code (I think I found it here) but it only scans the directory itself and not the subfolders. Can anyone help me adapt the code to scan all folders/subfolders?[CODE]....
I have been provided with a series of RDL files and dataset specifications for each RDL report.I have successfully generated the proper data tables for each report specification but have not yet figured out how to successfully use the reportviewer in my application with the provided RDL files.Due to the large number of reports I will be working with I need to hard code the reportviewer instead of using the control in design mode.
how I can reference a report variable in the Report Properties Code Window of a local report? I have tried Variables!Claimant.Value (for a variable called Claimant) but I get an error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." I have tried qualifying it with Report. and also with the report name in front of it but I get errors with this also.I have the variable CLaimant defined in the Variables section of the Report Properties.
In these days I'm using VS 2008. Now i'm stuck with a problem. I'm using RDLC reporting files for the reports. But is there anyone who has a solution for the client editing reporting in 2008. The client wants to edit his own report. SO basicly I need a RDLC editing tool for the Client side.
I'm basically trying to do a small report card project. I only need to pull 5 Students with each student having 5 Test Scores a piece. The full Code of what I have for the submit button is below. I have actually 3 questions.
1. I always seem to have trouble with them unless I initialize them when I dim them. Is there a better way than below
2. The below code works really well for Student 1 and all 5 test scores. Rather than do that code 5 times though, what is the best way for me to basically state that IF dblStudent1(intMax) = 4 Then Change dblStudent1(intMax) to dblStudent2(intMax) etc.
3. Would this be better suited towards a multidimensional array ?
Private Sub btnEnterGrades_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnterGrades.Click
Dim strStudentNames() As String = {" ", " ", " ", " ", " "} ' Holds the 5 Students Names Dim intMax As Integer = (4) ' Place Holder for Student Number
I have pasted below a piece of code where I am displaying a report. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Crystal Report engine. It works all good with the piece of code
Problem: Everytime a report is being run it generates a ('.*tmp', '.*rpt') files typically in a temp folder c:windows emp however we can get rid of the *.tmp files by setting a recycle on the application pool but need a way to get rid of the .rpt files.
Found solution: Call Close() and Dispose() on the report object. The way I am doing is crReportDoc.Close() then crReportDoc.Dispose()Actual Problem: If Dispose() is called the report comes up with the following error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'
I completed my final project for a .NET course two days ago and just noticed today that all my project files for every project I have on my computer (about a dozen or so) are missing all the project files except for what's in the bin folders. The folder structure it seems hasn't been affected.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, and I have a large windows forms project I have been working on. My computer froze up and I had to reboot. After reboot I opened my project, all the files loaded although I got a message telling me that the document load was skipped because of the way the project opened the last time. I am able to debug and run the program so the app is ok. but when I double click on a form to open it nothing happens. Even if i right click it and select "View Designer" or "View Code" nothing happens. No errors just nothing. I was able to open other projects with no problem but not this one, and this project is the only one that matters.
There was an error about VB 2008 not being able to open vb files, i fixed that by re-installing but now when i try and make a project or open one i get this error:Warning1Extensibility DTE object unavailable.00
I have my project in which i have many .bas files and now i want to convert the project into VB.NET. The vbp files are directly converted by Visual Studio 2005 but .bas files are not being converted.
Is there anywhere I can add folders to my project, so when someone downloads my project/program they automatically get the files I added into it. Say I want to include a data file, and my program automatically uses that file for my RichTextBox1 - And everytime they save, it saves to that file - And when they open up the program again, it opens that automatically preloaded file that came with the program?
I have developed a VB.NET application that generates code in a specific format. It has a multitude of features and everything works great. I recently added the ability to save generated code to a text file as well as the ability to load those text files into the application. I am looking to add one last feature (perk). I want to include a bunch of pre-coded text files with the application, that new users can load and use immediately. As of right now I have the application creating the directory they will go in, but can't find anything on how to include the text files and have them placed in that directory. This application uses one-click deployment (in case that matters).
