I have a vb.net 2008 desktop application to make changes to it. Since the production database will be changing within a month, I know that i need to change the .net remoing.
1.I change the configuration manager file (app.config) in debug mode to point to the 'new' test database, however the changes are not pick up. The application is still pointing to the current database. Thus can you tell when what kind of files.I need to change so that this application picks up the 'test' data base?
2. After I have tested the changes that need to be made, I will need to deploy the changes. Thus i am assuming that I will need to do something different so I can put the application changes into production. Thus, can you tell what kind of extra dlls,exe, xml, and other files I will need to include in the deployment package? Is there anything else I need to do in the deployment package? This application uses .net remoting to have the database connect to the various proejct files in the entire solution file.
I want to release an application I made. The only problem is, IT WILL NOT RELEASE. I was told to use the configuration manager BUT another problem. This option is disabled!
How to call the configuration manager to get the connection strings instead of having the connection string in the code. I have seen a sample of how to do it in C# but can't get it to translate over to VB.Net.
For some reason in VS2008 Configuration Manger 'Release ' option is missing and I can't build and deploy the application I worked on for weeks! Debug option works fine.
I added a new application recently and I find there is no Configuration Manager. I went to Tools-->Settings and checked Expert Settings, but Configuration Manager does not show up in the Build Menu. It only shows Build Project and Publish Project. I also tried to add Configuration Manager to the tool bar - it was added, but it is grayed out.
I'm trying to get the compiler Configuration Manager to show up. By the way, all of my 8 other VB 2010 Express projects have a Configuration Manager option in the build menu. However, none of those 8 projects were started as a new application in VB2010 - they were all conversions of old VB6 applications (first converted with VB2008, and then with VB2010).
1.Manager : dll containing Iterface definition and other things
2.Implementation: dll containing Implementation of the Interface
3.Executable: (maybe this one could be a external application or another dll using the libraries)
I have particular methods (iside the interface dll file) that extract information of real Implementation from AppSettings keys in order to instance it using reflection. I use the Manager inside the Excecutable, but when I try to retrieve a especific key defined in "Manager.dll.config" (appSettings), the value returned is empty because the configuration file used is "Excecutable.exe.config" I need this configuration information in Manager config file because this Manager will be used from other programs and the configuration must be centralized into that config file to replicate the possible changes to every app calling this dll.How can I to specify that the ConfigurarionManager.AppSettings must extract values from manager.dll.config file?

Is it possible to code a program so that the name displayed in the Task Manager can be changed mid-process?I have searched for it but everything I found was either someone wanting to hide the name or was for VB6.I am developing a program that will be run in a dozen instances at the same time. There will be two (2) user input forms followed by a processing form containing nothing but a third-party component that we are forced to use to capture our data. What I am trying to do is change the name after the user input to indicate which instance this particular program is. That way, if the third-party component hangs, we will know which instance to kill.
Receive 'ConfigurationManager' is not a member of 'Configuration' in VS2008.I read all of the topics in the forum about this error Tried adding areference to System.Configuration.dll to the project and an "Imports System.Configuration" to the vb file.Still get an error
on my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.
I have a function that will allow me to edit the manager property of a user here:
Public Shared Sub SetManagerProperty(ByVal de As DirectoryEntry, ByVal pName As String, ByVal pValue As String) 'First make sure the property value isnt "nothing"
[Code]....
But what if the manager is not in the Company OU? How can I edit this to search for him in the entire domain?

I am trying to execute a VB .net console application called Application1 that I created using Visual Studio 2008 with .net framework 3.5. When I run it under the windows scheduler or from a command prompt it works fine. When I try to run it under a purchased job scheduler, I get a message stating that directory APPLIC~1.config is missing. What properties does system.configuration use when it tries to find an application's .config file? Can these be set when my application starts?
Note: I was able to use ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "" & My.Application.Info.AssemblyName & ".exe") to get around this issue but would like a cleaner solution. I do not want to do this each time I want to retrieve an appSetting entry.
I'm trying to use the demo that is on the devexpress website to build a folder structure that people can upload files to and manage within a web interface.
[URL]
I have got the control to work, however, when I upload a file to via the web interface, the control doesn't stream the whole file up to the server, but just creates a new file but with no content. Is there something that I can do to create the file.I didn't have access to the FileManagerHelper Class, but googled around and found on on the devexpress forum.Is there an updated version of this file?
I am wondering how you would go about coding a VB Project with a File Dialog box or something to that affect that could be used to have users select programs that are already on their desktop and move the icons and the program names into my application. I am sort of going for a File Program Popup Box that prompts the users to check off certain programs they want to add to my VB Application or to show a list or programs on their desktop. Is there anyway to complete this task with Visual Basic?
Is the FTM available for .net users to use on our web solutions or sites?I have some large install files on my site that the regular download will quit in the middle.the ftm at least allows for interruptions.I tried the FTP route, but turns out most users out there have no idea what ftp is. I saw a library that eluded to IDownloadManager, but I wasn't sure if this was the same thing as the ftm.
I'm building a theme manager. Each theme contains and XML file to describe the theme and a couple of images. I load the themes with a custom control into a wrappanel. As a preview of the theme I use a custom control, that shows the first 3 images of the theme. I load the picture into the images as follows (codeblock 1). You can delete the theme by selecting it in the wrappanel and then press delete theme button. It will add the name of the theme to a list and will delete the theme when the app exists. But then the app will bring up an error message saying that the file is used by another process - which is the main window of the app that has been closed.
Dim imgsrc As New BitmapImage imgsrc.BeginInit() imgsrc.DecodePixelHeight = theme.Image1.Height imgsrc.DecodePixelWidth = theme.Image1.Width imgsrc.UriSource = New Uri(fi.Directory.FullName & "" & nodes.Item(i).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText) imgsrc.EndInit() theme.Image1.Source = imgsrc
I am trying to build custom configuration section in my app.config file. I am using the following as my example: [URL]. According to this article, I am supposed to inherit from the ConfigurationSection class, add the desired section to my app.config file, and then specify a "configSections" declaration in the app.config file to identify the section and the class that should process it. My problem is that I cannot get the class loader to load my class for processing the section.
If I follow the example and set up my "configSections" as: <configSections> <section name="MyStuff.Configuration" type="MyStuff.MyConfigurer" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" /> </configSections>
I get the following error: Could not load type 'MyStuff.MyConfigurer' from assembly 'System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
I think the error is telling me it can't load my class from the System.Configuration DLL and that makes sense; the class is in my application code. So how do I tell it to look in my application code to find the class? Do I have to put my class in its own DLL to get this to work? As an alternative approach, is there some way I can just find the section in the application configuration and process the XML myself? The app.config file is the ideal location for this information. Also, this would be easier for me than going through all of these contortions to do what should be a relatively easy operation.
