Maybe it's because I'm using Express that I can't publish my program in any fashion to my friend? I've tried using Clickonce to send it by email, I've tried publishing my program on a webpage, but whatever I try ends in errors.

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I create Win32 DLL using vb.net (VS2005), for later use in vb6 application. I've try and it's workout (on my pc). I'm wondering if theres a way to distribute that dll files with my vb6 application, without installing net framwework on target pc.
If you wonder why i'm doing this, the answer The current application on target computer still using application that i've develop with vb6. My company have a plan to migrate to VB.net so i have to update a litle by litle so the old application still running until the new one (which i developed using vb.net) is ready to lunch. By the time new application running, my plan/target is i only update a minor change/installation.
I have had a lot of trouble trying to distribute my programs for money. The way they are set up, you type in one product key, and it is activated. Now you can do this for any amount of installations or computers. What I would like to be able to do is have it so they can only use a product key 5 times. For example, you would host a text file on a server like this:
" XOTS3-G4SIT-HJ58GS-HMG52J, 1, 5" where the random characters are the product key, 1 is the amount of times it has been used, and 5 is the maximum limit. Something tells me that this is going to tie in with ASP.NET somehow, which I have no experience in, so if we could stay away from that it would be great. Also, I am having lots of trouble hosting a website from my house, so if there is a way to host it on another server like ripway.com that would be good too. I know I am supposed to post a source, but I really just want to know how to read and write to a text file on another computer using vb.net. I could figure out the rest.
I'm on VS 2008 I have one form contains many textboxes,when I write in one textbox (UserName) the letters and numbers should distribute to the other texts where each textbox has only one letter or number from the original text to get them ready to be encrypted.
What code I can use in text change event that takes the whole text and throw it in the other textboxes so each textbox has only one value ?

I want to include System.Data.SQLite.DLL file
So I have been searching around the next and keep finding solutions that all have errors due to upgrades. Basically what I want to do is load the following type of XML file when a button is pushed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Do not edit this file -->
<DATA version="1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="[URL]" xmlns="[URL]" xmlns:xsi="[URL]">
<NOTES> <NOTE NameId="Name1" Colour="13" PNotes="Test7" />
[Code] .....
But after that I want to sort out the attributes. I want all of the NameId's to go into a ListBox. After I get that problem sovled I am wanting to have the info in the PNotes attribute to be displayed in a TextBox when the connecting NameId is selected in the ListBox.
My application writes to the event log if there is an error or other status updates.
The application checks to see if there is an event source named "applicationName"and if not, it creates the source (see code below).
This works fine if the user is an administrator.
If the user is not an administrator, an error is thrown when SourceExists is called:
{"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."}
In my environment, the typical user is NOT an admin. Therefore, I cannot use the event log in my application.
Is there a way around this, or is the event log effectively useless for distributed applications?
I've used VB2008EE to create a Windows Forms app which includes a Help form. The helpform contains a Treeview for navigation and a WebBrowser control which displays the relevant part of an HTML page containg the help information.The app is intended to be used offline - so I need to include the HTML page file as part of the published app, and I need to be able to specify where this HTML file will be installed on the target computer so that the URI in my Helpform which loads the Help page will locate this file.
(I expect the HTML file should live in the directory pointed to by the:
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData property)

View 3 Replieshow to deploy or to distribute the completed application in clients' machine in vb.net.. what if the dbms used in sql server 2005.. how about ms access.
View 1 RepliesI am developing a winforms application that will have an offline mode, so that it can access the data if an internet connection (or more accurately, a connection to my WCF service) cannot be established. I have decided to utilize SQL Server Compact edition on the client side of the application & was wondering what the general consensus is on the "best" practice for making the client application (Sql Server Compact) subscribe to the master database (MSSQL 2008).
Management enters information into a web based administration panel that I developed and is stored in a MSSQL 2008 database.After adding / modifying information, they can click a release "datapack" button which will increment a "datapack" version number, which will later be used by the client application to determine if they are in sync or not. When the client application is started, it connects to the internet and determines if the version numbers are in sync. If not, it pulls the information from the server.
That third step is where I'm a bit lost I thought about simply developing a web service that will expose a dataset containing all of the data and just iterating through it doing inserts, but that seems terribly inefficient to me. The full database probably wouldn't amount to much more than 5 MB total, so that led me to think it would be great if when management clicks the release datapack button, it would store the database in a file that could simply be downloaded and would replace the embedded database. Again, I'm a little lost on how that would work. This is my first time working with an embedded database, most of my work has been web/win apps that have real-time access to the data.
I have a visual studio solution written using VB.net. The solution contains 4 projects.

I have a program in vb express 2008 which I would like to publish in a little more professional manner than provided in the standard vb express package. I would at least like to include a "Terms of Use" document the user must agree to before installing the program. I have dovnloaded and installed web developer, c# and vs 2008. Do any of these include a professional installer? If not are there any free installer packages available? I am 72 and live on a limited budget so I cannot aford an expensive package for one program.
