I have a nearly finished program. I have been able to install and run on my development PC, but I can't install it on another PC on same network.
Where to ask for help on this one please. Some very basic help is needed I think.
Using Visual Studio 2008, Vis Basic
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

View 8 RepliesI have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.

I am writing some code as part of a framework for opening a file.The file is of custom type and should not be opened by more than one instance of my application. To stop multiple file opening I use a filestream to create a lock file and then keep said filestream open. This seems to work in preventing another instance of my application from opening the file ( as it will fail in recreating the lock stream in the files open code ) but if the file is on a network share and the network drops then the original application also can not access the file any more.The code to get the lock stream is as follows:
Try
' We need to keep this stream alive to prevent other applications gaining access to the lock
mLockStream = New FileStream(mLockPath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)[code]....
In this I create the lock stream the first time round and then if another application tries to create it, it throws an exception and stops them from getting any further. This is kind of how it needs to work, unfortunately as I said, if this is done across a network and then the network connection is dropped for some reason then I can not delete the lock stream as I get an IOException telling me a process cannot access the file as it is open in another process ( which shouldn't be happening I don't think).
my vb experience is fairly limited - I've only used it when supporting legacy applications or for small tasks so apologies if what I'm asking seems simple. I wrote a small vb install script which creates a new folder on a users desktop, copies over relevant files from the install folder to the users new folder and creates a shortcut on the users desktop.
This works great for giving stuff to QA to test. However, there's one dll included in the install folder which is also in the users GAC. The code looks in the GAC first for this dll and only looks in the install folder if none exists in the GAC.
What I want to do is include a line in my install script to copy this dll to the users GAC as well as copying it to the installation folder.Is there anyway to do this in VB? I did find the following on one of the MS sites for installing into the GAC gacutil /i a.dll
Is it possible to run this through VB or is there a cleaner way of doing this?

View 6 RepliesI am very new to VB.NET. That said, I have developed a windows form that utilizes an SQL Server back end. I am developing using Visual Studio 2008 and the 3.5 Framework. The SQL server is 2005.I do not have any warnings or errors, and the project compiles without error. When I run the install package on another computer, everything appears to install correctly, and the shortcut is placed on the desktop. However, when opened, the cursor goes into wait mode for a few seconds then returns to normal and the form does not open.I am using windows authentication for the SQL server, and the user of the other computer is the owner of the database I am developing for, so that person has access. I am using the following when making a connection to the SQL server: Dim cnnSQL As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.ConnectionString)
View 5 RepliesA few months ago I installed Visual Basic 2008 directly from Microsoft. It worked great, but immediately when I shut down my computer I got the Blue Screen of Death...and have been getting it ever since.Last week I uninstalled VB2008 and also rolled back system restore to before the VB install. No difference, I'm still getting the BSOD.
Could be just chance that the BSOD message started happening at the same time as the VB install. But, before I really dig into this (I haven't even dissected the BSOD message yet, as detailed on the various BSOD help messages I have read this morning)tell me if this is a common problem with a VB install or not?

View 5 Repliesi have a folder called xulrunner that needs to be initialized - i originaly had the folder under c:\ and used the following code to initialize it. Xpcom.Initialize("c:\xulrunner")This worked fine, but because i want it to get included with the install, i included the folder in the project, and when built it goes to a folder on my desktop, that haves the folder allong with the exe's etc
so i swapped the above code to Xpcom.Initialize(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\xulrunner")However that does not work.
