I had no errors in my VB project it was compiling nicely. I loaded SP 1 today and now I have 102 errors. Actually I'm sure more than that as 102 is the max it will show. It particularly doesn't like the date functions and isDBNull. And it balks at vbcrlf now. Here are some examples of the errors I'm getting:

I know how to use My.Computer.Info.OSFullName to get the version of the OS. How would I go about getting the Service Pack version?
I need this to work on all versions of Windows.
Also, is there a way to check and see if the activation has been successfully completed?
Is there a Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 (Professional Edition)? The only one I see is for Team something or other....

I have created a Windows Service in VB.net for building xML from a database. I need to install it in my machine. I have followed all the steps as shown in [URL] When I right click on setup project and click install it opens the installation wizard and after hitting the next buttons it promptly says that the Service is installed successfully.When I go to Services I don't see the service. I refreshed the list and rebooted my machine n times.
View 2 RepliesI am creating a windows service. I want to know that , is there any other way to install windows service than using installutil.exe ? I don't want to install my windows service on client's machine using command prompt. Better way if I can install it using setup.
View 2 RepliesI have been working on creating a windows service. I am using XP SP3, VB.net, VS 2010 Express, compiling for .Net 4.0 client profile. I have am using very rudimentary code templates that I've cobbled together.I have a class the inherits 'ServiceBase' and overrides the constructor, 'OnStart', and 'OnStop'. I also have another class in another .vb file in the same project that inherits from 'System. Configuration. Install. Installer' and overrides the constructor to add a 'ServiceInstaller' and a 'ServiceProcessInstaller' with the appropriate properties set for the service. The 'ServiceInstaller.ServiceName' is set to the same name as the service class and the installer class has the 'RunInstallerAttribuite (True)'attribute. Everything compiles and if I try to run the exe I get a message telling me it's a service and needs to be installed as such. but when I use installutil(.net 4) to install the service, it appears as though it was successful, but the service does not show up in the services list and I can't find registry entries for it either. I've checked the exe with the object browser and it presents the installer class with the 'RunInstaller Attribute' as it should. I included some code to create a file in the installer constructor and no file is created so I'm assuming that the installer class is never instantiated by installutil.

I have had some success making a windows service but I can�t seem to fix a simple issue
I can get the service to run through my code once, but I can�t get it to loop, well I can but then the service will not start correctly and just times out while the code is running.
How can I get the service to start and then loop, at the moment it just says starting service and the code is looping but the service wont start! Windows times it out after a few mins.

View 10 RepliesI new to .net My project involves developing a windows service application using VB .NET. I have installed the service successfuly on the first attempt using the installutil provided by the frame work.When i uninstalled the application the it gave me the following result.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed serviceAn exception occurred while uninstalling. This exception will be ignored and the uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalled after the uninstall is complete.
The uninstall has completed.
When i tried to install the app again it gave me the following error
An exception occurred during the Install phase.System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service already exists
I removed the application from the list of application event log entries in the registry(HKEYLOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventLogApplication) ant tried installing the app agin it installed successfully. Why is uninstalling the service not removing the entry from the registry.
I have a windows service that I've written in vb.net using vs 2008 targeting ASP.NET 3.5. It appears that it's installing in a running state, but with the start mode set to manual. Is there a way I can have the service be initially stopped? I assume that it would be something in my service installer, but haven't been able to find it.
View 4 RepliesI have a Deployment project which creates an MSI setup file to install a service. (VB .NET) I have a reference to another project which is a win form application and has a setup form which takes the user name, password and some other settings information which will be used by a service. It has "Finish" and "Cancel" buttons. I am creating a new instance of this form on Sub New() of the ProjectInstaller Class, so user can input information, click Finish and installation completes. The service is then automatically started. Now, when I click Cancel on the settings form, I am not able to exit out and halt the installation process. Instead it installs the service !! How can I use the Rollback or Uninstall methods to do the task? I was trying this -
On cancel_click, set boolean var cacelStatus = True
On Sub New() method of ProjectInstaller class, I am checking - If true - uninstall, else - install
How can I achieve this?

View 1 RepliesI recently downloaded the Windows API code pack for .net, and seeing there was VB.net examples inside there, I opened them up. Upon building I get a warning that the referenced components 'Core' and 'Shell' could not be found. Looking in the code pack folder I see there are no DLLs at all, but instead a whole load of C# sources.
Do I have to download C# Express (which I want to avoid) to use the code pack or are there precompiled DLLs somewhere?
I decided to have a play around with the Windows API Code Pack and so far it has had some very interesting things. Something which I like in particular is AeroGlass. I have created a project to mess around with it to see how it works etc. and I am having some difficulties with the tranparency. If I put a textbox on the form for example, it displays fine. The text however is barely readable unless the form is over a dark background. The solution seemed obvious. Change the transparency key. However, there wasn't one set. Adding one stops the glass effect from working.

how to make that option to appear on installing the program?
