Let me explain a bit.... let's say I already have MARIO.EXE and I want to create another (let's call it) SETUP.EXE that must have 2 buttons 'Yes' & 'No' How can I build the setup.exe and bundle these two apps together and when the newly exe (mario.exe + setup.exe) is created and launched : -if the 'yes' button is pressed it should continue with the mario.exe installation process -if the 'no' button is pressed then quit. What i don't know is the code and and how can I compile these 2 exe in a single one.
When I try to run the dll I compiled in Visual Studio 2010, I get the following message: This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. I'm guessing this means that I am a too recent version of Visual Studio. Is there a way I can build the dll as an earlier version?
Explanation of Build verse Publish Compile in simple english. I have my first appication I want to now deploy. I have been reading about Clickonce and it looks like a nice solution for my project. I actually tried it already but I recieved an error message "forbidden" I think there is an issue with my hosting site? Anyway I have been reading and am a bit confused to these different terms. Is build what I would use if I want to add-in a set-up / installer package with program with an exe file, sort of like the traditional way of handing someone a disk and they install it on there machine? Publish appears to what is used for the click once, but I dont think thats the only thing. I can publish to a disk? It looks like I can publish to my own computer until i figure out my website issue and test the program from there?
I have a "ClickOnce" application and on the Splash screen I display the Version. I am also displaying the "CreationTime" (see below) that I thought was when the Build or Publish was done. Today I realized it is displaying the date/time when the application is actually installed on the PC. How do I pull the date when the this version was compiled, Built, or Published? I really do not care which -I just want a constant date the sticks with that version. I'm using VB 2005.
Now I did a clean build, and tried to publish, and I get a lot of errors and warnings that I don't understand.

I have a Linq-to-SQL class diagram in my web application containing the two tables in my database (held in a DBPro database project in the same solution). All was working fine yesterday. I start doing some work tonight and note that the solution compiles fine in Visual Studio, but when I run the web app I get a compilation error:
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'FrostAlertDatabaseDataContext' is not defined.
I have a Form with a Media Player in it. Which plays a Song.
[Code]...
It's playing in the background since the Form is hidden. When I play itin Debug, everything works fine. When I run the app outside Debug, I get this error: [URL] The Music File is there, but strangely, there comes this weird error.
A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?
I have a vb.net 2008 windows form application that I was just assigned to work on. how to maintain and test changes to both the pre build and the post build events? Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
I am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
I have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
I was able to build both debug and release versions of my VB code before now I no longer have the option to build a release version. How do I turn it back on
So when i build or click debug on my program. No errors come up and its smooth. So i decide to publish my programme. However. I come up with a bunch of errors during the publishing.
Here they are:Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 Simple CALC
Error 2 Unable to copy file "binReleaseSimple CALC.exe.manifest" to "binReleaseapp.publishApplication FilesSimple CALC_1_0_0_0Simple CALC.exe.manifest". The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I am trying to compile a very simple project that uses an OCX that I downloaded and is on my desktop. How do I include this in the compile so that I can just forward the exe to another user?
I got a situation where I have a group of projects in a solution. All the projects are dll's except one - which is an exe. When I run the project, it compiles all the dll's except one of them - for some reason this dll needs to be manually compiled.
I have my options set to save projects on run and to build projects that are out of date. This works for all my other dll's except this one.
Do I have something set wrong in this particular dll?
Let's say that I have an entire project build in C# and other project build VB and I made a reference to this VB project Because this two projects need to interact between each other. Is this possible? the compiled code of this two project could live together??. Also if i made the same project VB and C# the compiled version are the same??
Im using Visual Studio 2008 in Windows 7. Recently I cannot debug(F5) any projects because this following error is appearing
Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly 'WindowsApplication5' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
I have a small form program that is basically an interface for installing different software packages so that we can distribute a CD with our products that our customers can just pop in the drive, autorun, and click the button to install what they need. The problem that I am running into is unlike when I had built this same program in VB6, the program rewritten in VB.net will not run on some machines, and shows me an error: .net Framework initialization error. required version of .net framework v2.0.50727.
I realize that it is asking for that version of .net framework in order to run, but what I would really like to know is if there is a way to make my exe non-dependant on this so that it will run on any machine. Requiring my customers to install .net framework in order to access an interface designed just to idiotproof the installation of some setup files and provide easy access to a few pdf's really would just defeat the purpose.
I'm trying VB.Net for the first time, and I must say, after spending two hours pulling my hair out (literally!) and trying one thing after another, I am severely disheartened. I just want to compile a simple .vb file.
I used notepad to create a helloworld file. Then my problems started. The book I'm using told me to use a command prompt, and enter:
vbc helloworld.vb
No dice, though. The vbc command was kicked out by the command prompt. I installed Microsoft Visual Basic 2008, and tried again. No dice. Double checked to make sure I had all my updates - check, but still nothing. So I just went ahead and double clicked the the helloworld.vb file. It displayed the text, but still didn't compile, and it wouldn't even allow me to debug it.
If File.Exists(TextBox2.Text) Then If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "config.vb") Then Dim pr As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.VBCodeProvider() Dim cp As New CompilerParameters()
i was trying to accomplish to that task with codedom classes, but i can't compile my code!May you post here an example which does succesfully that?Here are son additional information i forgot to write before,my current code is this:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim CodeDomProvider As CodeDomProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("VB") Dim fl As String = "Form1.vb"
[code]....
I guess the code in the source file is incorrect...What should i write there?
lot of computer users don't have Framework 4.0 and aren't interested in installing it. I can build my programs in 2005 Express but I have Framework 4.0, and if the computer user doesn't have 4.0 the user gets an error. Is there any way to specify that framework 1.5 be used for the build? (I'm assuming I could find 1.5 somewhere.)
I recently upgraded my PC and software from XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using VS 2008 and SQL Server 2008, and I write code in VB.Net. I'm interested in compiling my code in 64-ibt. Under Visual Studio, I see three different places to specify which CPU to compile under: 1. In Solution Explorer, click 'My Project', then Compile->Advanced Compile Options->Target CPU.
2. On VS menu, Build->Configuration Manager->Active solution platform.
3. If #2 is set to x64, then in Solution Explorer, click 'My Project'->Compile, and at the top, Platform (if #2 is not set, the only option available here is Any CPU).
I get the following error message when I try to compile anything, I've tried creating several different projects and they all do the same thing. does anyone know anything about this and how to fix it?
