Cannot Locate Exe File After Publish
Jun 17, 2009
important info : my o.s. is windows7
i just recently published my app, and when i try to locate the exe file from the start menu/my app folder/my app shortcut's properties, i get this as a directory:
C:Users rujadeAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsmy application
now when i go to that location, in windows explorer, all there is a shortcut looking icon. when i check the properties for that, the Type of File : is Application Reference (.appref-ms) . is this my app, and if so, why does it have that little arrow on the icon like shortcut icons do?
i cannot seem to locate the .exe file by doing a system search, other than locating my other similar app which is located in a set folder and was not run from a setup. and if possible, how can i install my app in c:program files and not that set location?

I have written a simple program in VB 2008 that in a part of it, it loads some images from a directory with a formula like this :
PictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(CurDir() & "photos�.jpg")
The photos are located in : inDebugphotos this works fine and loads images when I run the program.But after I publish, it can no more locate the files and I receive an Error:
Unhandled exception...
c:users.............................................photos�.jpg
Now I need your kind help please in these 2 cases:
1- Can you tell me how I can correct the formula?
2- After publish, dose the setup file contains my photos folder as well?

Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

I need to obtain the full path for a file located in somewhere in the system search path for executable files, when I only have the file name. Another user came up with the following code. However I was hoping to find something that is more directly supplied by the system, rather than a "roll your own" solution such as this one. Also, the solution below could run into problems, however unlikely, because it is possible for Windows file and folder names to contain semicolons. The split function doesn't pay any attention to quotes, and could therefore improperly split a path that includes a folder name with an embedded semicolon.
Private paths() As String = Split(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH"), ";")
Private messageOutput As String
Private fileInPath as String = "notepad.exe" ' for example[code]....

in my application, to get the path I use the following code.
Dim path As String
Dim asm As [Assembly] = [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly()
path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(asm.GetName().CodeBase)
this gives path as Application Data, But i need Program Files to locate the .sdf file. how to get this path?

I'm calling a 3rd part app which 'sometimes' works in VB.NET (it's a self-hosted WCF). But sometimes the 3rd party app will hang forever, so I've added a 90-second timer to it. Problem is, how do I know if the thing timed out?
Code looks like this:
Dim MyProcess as System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(MyInfo)
MyProcess.WaitForExit(90000)
What I'd like to do is something like this
If MyProcess.ExceededTimeout Then
MyFunction = False
Else
MyFunction = True
End If

So I've just started up my most recent website:[URL]and it would seem that every 5th or 6th time I publish my project out of VS 2005 the Web.Config file corrupts and loses its connection string to the database and a nasty exception gets thrown stating that the web.config file does not contain the connection string that all of my SQLDataSource objects use.

I have a simple app that reads from a very large text file, and returns a value if a string is found. I can instruct users where to download the file, and where to put it, but it would be nice if I could embed the file with the publish, so that the program knew where to look by default.Getting users to download a seprate file is painful. This file has 1.4 milion lines of text. I really need it to look for the file in a predictable place and be able to run against that by default for most users. I can have experienced users browse for a new file, but most people aren't into that much thought.

I am working on a relatively simple program in VB.NET. I am trying to make the installation process as simple as possible for the user.I know its possible to use the executable from the debug directory as a stand alone executable, but are there any drawbacks to this approach? For example, if the user does not have .NET on their machine, the program will not run. Is there a way to publish the program so it is self-contained in a single executable file?

I have already done the creation of button and the dragging of button at runtime already. But now i need to know how do i save the last dragged button on the form and also detect the name of the last clicked button.
i now drag a button to coordinates 25,254. so when i exit the form and the next time i launch it, the button will still be at 25,254. and this one will go on for the number of button i created like 100. so when i launch the form the 100 button will be at the exact position where i last saved them. the second part is lets say i created button1 and button2 on the form in runtime. so when i clicked the first button, it should display button1. and if i clicked on button 2, it should say button2. same goes for like 100buttons.

I'm working on a project, doing fine until now, when debugging it gives no errors and works fine, but after I publish it online and download it, i get an error like thisSystem.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Data\5OBGY35Z.KQX\BA0L3897.GKJ\ monk..tion_e4d7ac4b0efe78e1_0003.0000_40bef6809ef62922\Data\EquipmentWS.mdb'. although searching a little around that path i find the whole files including the 4 database.mdb there, and when i launch the program from that path, it works with no problems. But running the program from the installed files from the online setup still gives me an error.
My program contains 4 Access databases. They all are in the main program path with the other files, and all of them follow this pattern:

I am making a program that stores all information that is entered into a directory and then zips that directory onto the C drive. It is working perfectly fine, but I think it would be easier for the user if the final directory was zipped onto the desktop.
Is there a way that VB.Net can locate the user's desktop and then zip the directory and place it on the desktop? For example, zipping it to "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop" would work on my PC, but it may be different on a user's computer.

I am making an image modifying program and would like to know how (after I have located the .png, .gif, .bmp etc) I can identify the properties of a certain pixel (RGB and the amount of transparency), how to change the colour of a pixel (similar to first part) and how to tell the program to "move along to the next pixel, unless you are at the end of the image, in which case; move down a row and continue" please help. Also, it is a program which converts a greyscale image (black, white and grey) to black, semi-transparent black and transparency). Just in case that helps.
