Where can I find standard (licence free) animations like "Copy" for self implemented windows applications (avi,animated gif)? Visual Studio has only few animations in its image library (unfortunately not the "Copy" animation).

View 1 RepliesI am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

View 3 RepliesI have a scenario that has been troubling me for years. If you have to connect to a database or other service (like a web service) using a username and password, where would be the safest place to store this information if you are connecting through a .NET assembly? I understand that you would have to encrypt the password, but then you run into a kind of chicken-egg problem -- fine -- you can encrypt it, but then where do you put the key?In .NET, you can't hardcode the password because you can decompile .NET code.
I looked at using assembly based rights with Isolated Storage, but MS recommends against storing unencrypted secret items there because priveledged users can gain access, so again, we are moving the problem from point A to point B. So for examplem, a domain admin with no need to know about the information in a database would be able to get access because of the ability to be an admin on any workstation on the domain.You can encrypt App.Config and Web.Config, but I believe priveledges users can access the keys. I think you run into the same problem with DPAPI.
I had considered storing the passwords, encrypted in a remoted database and getting them through OS authentication, but our department prohibits the storage of passwords on database servers. I am pretty sure I am stuck and wanted confirmation.

View 6 RepliesI have an application (.net 3.5 app) that depends on odp.net (11g). I had installed the odp.net on the production machine, i deployed my binaries. The program works fine, however it displays an error like this:This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.The machine has Windows 2003 R2 as OS. This error occurs on the catch Oracle Exception block of my code. The program is supposed to display a message box indicating the error. It works as expected in my development machine..
View 2 RepliesI'm a first time visitor and poster, but I'm definitly going to stick around. I'm running an old version of Visual Studio .Net Academic 2002 and the .Net framework 2.0. I'm stuck on an issue regarding the deployment of a few programs I've thrown together. They all work fine on my development machine, but the problem they all use SQL Server databases, and I can't find any specific help on deploying a windows application with a database on a machine that isn't set up basically just like my development machine.
I know that I need the .net runtime bootstrapper on the target machine, so I can run basic programs that dont use SQL databases. That's no problem. But what about programs that make heavy use of databases? How does one go about deploying it on target machines? Is there a SQL server bootstrapper?

I didn't know where to post this question so I hope I put it in the right forum...I am not new to Visual Basic, however I am definitely not an advanced user. I would like to build an application that would allow me to interact with other programs on my computer. For example, if I were to build an application that could control iTunes, how would I go about this?
Or, I am looking to make an application that would allow me to do little things on my computer like disable my track pad if I have a mouse plugged in. How would I build something that could interact with windows (or iTunes) like that?
I have a basic VB.Net application that gets data from some websites and then send them to a MS-SQL database automatically.

Now, is it possible to convert the Winform to a Windows services so that I do not need to keep it opening in front of my PC and watching the logs, instead, it runs quietly in the background and the data gets logged into the system log viewer?

I'm running into some strange exceptions coming from a few workstations that are running one of our Windows Forms Applications. The application is written for .NET Framework 2.0 and coded in VB.NET. We've re-imaged the machines a couple of time but not matter what we do, the same problem occurs. We are not seeing this problem with any other machines besides these two. Below is the exception message and the Stack Trace. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this may be happening?

I could not find a clear cut answer to this question when searching MSDN (too many references come up about Microsoft Document Imaging) so thought it better to ask.
Is it possible in VS2010 to create a new MDI application and import stand alone Windows forms applications into it?
The reason I ask, is we have a number of tools that have been created as single apps but there are quite a number of them and it would be nice to combine the lot into an MDI app.
However I don't really want to re-write any of the apps, so is there a way to import them instead?
we know that vb using windows messages for raising events etc.. so if we move mouse cursor windows sends mousemove message to our application (WM...) or something like that. my question is: can we send windows messages to an application? i know usage of sendmessage api but its not working. im simply wanna send wmkeydown message to notepad and notepad should get message and write it to the text area right? am i wrong? i tried several ways but didnt worked.

View 6 RepliesI'm developing a media player app and upon looking at it for a week now, it seems really bland. I would really like to add some animations for it (besides just moving forms with x,y locations) but have no idea where to start.
Are more complex apps/designs/animations better suited for a language like c#/c++? I've never done animations before (except simple form moving) and I think now would be a great time to get some opinions!
You could probably say this would linger more so on 3d images and 3d animations
I migrated some applications from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2010. I develope using VB.NET in VISUAL STUDIO 2010 on a Windows 7 PC (32 bit). The applications writed in VB.NET - VS2005 run correctly in PC having XP, VISTA, WINDOWS 7 and Windows Server 2008. After the migration, the exe of these applications work correctly in PC having XP, Vista, Windows 7 but work stop immediatly on Windows Server 2008. The error returned is 'System.InvalidOperationException'. Seems that the application stop when attempt to evaluate the first global variable that meets. If i change the framework from 2.0 to 3.5, things don't change.
