General question on linked resources. I just want to clarify what an application does with linked resources. For explanatory purposes lets say that my resources are a bunch of images. My understanding is that linked resources are really just a reference to where that resource is on disk, whereas embedded resources are stored as part of the application.

I'm using VS2005.After I install an application using an .msi. Everytime this application loads it tries to find the setup and installs itself again if a file has been modified. If I delete the .msi file then the application can't even load.Is there a way to remove this link between the application and the msi?
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use several image resources in a web application I am working on, but I am doing something wrong. Here is what I have so far:.An image named frog.gif in a folder named images (/images/frog.gif). This image has the Build Action set to Embedded Resource.
.The Root Namespace (as specified in My Project -> Application) is WebApplication2005.The AssemblyInfo.vb file contains the line:<Assembly: WebResource("WebApplication2005.images.frog.gif", "image/gif")>
.The codebehind file for the page contains the following line in the Load event:
Me.Image1.ImageUrl = Me.Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "WebApplication2005.images.frog.gif")
However, when I do a debug, the src attribute of the img tag does have a URL starting with
WebResource.axd, but it is not accessing the resource. What could I be doing wrong? I feel like I have tried everything possible, but with no success.[URL]..

View 1 RepliesI was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.
View 3 RepliesI am building a windows application with different languages, when I change the language of a form visual basic will create a new form for me which i can change the settings for my new language and all was working fine, but recently i recognized that the images i am changing in the other language form is changing the images in the default language form, so i need to create two Resources Folders for images and manaully tells the application which folder to use.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if you should dispose undisposed resources before closing your application. Maybe it's not necessary to do this because closing your application automatically takes care of this.

The reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim printProcess As New Process
printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf"
' printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help
printProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
printProcess.Start()
End Sub
I want to know if it's possible to move a file from the file system into my applications resources.And if so, how?

I have a large number of MS Access databases that I'm automating to relink tables. However, there is one table that can't be relinked normally as Access says it has too many indexes. A manual work-around is to link to the view in SQL Server (2000/2008) and rename that table.Now, I want to do this programatically (I'm using DAO to relink the tables, which works nicely). I've been looking at CreateTableDef, but I don't know if this is the right way of going about it. I don't want to hardcode 260+ fields that may change (this is the main table from a 3rd party vendor, so I have no control over the fields in this table, or any normalization for that matter, but that's another topic...).Also, 98% of the tables being changed are Access 2000/2003 tables. The other 2% are Access 2007/2010.[code]
View 5 RepliesCurrently I have DataGridView box, clicking generate button fills it with a query from the database.I want the add button to add another row filled using the same query, so far I cannot get it to do it.Current generate button code:
Me.TableAdapter.FillBy1(Me.DataSet.App)
Add button code:
Me.DataSet.App.Rows.Add() - this does add a new empty row
I tried sticking the generate code inside (between add brackets) it but that just did the same thing as the generate code.

View 4 RepliesI have the following function that combines objects based on their gameScore attribute [code]NOTE the function is in a different class than where I have the lists I'm giving it..I had to set all the game positions blank because it saw an object with the same ID but different position as a different object. I didn't realize that even though I passed in the list ByVal the code deletes the courses on the original list somehow.First I input the origonal list expecting it not to be altered and put the output as a new list.[code]Yet somehow even the last one deletes the gamePosition attribute on listGames BUT *Doesn't* do the sum funtion for them, why is this happening it doesn't make any sense, it shouldn't touch listGames
