When I publish the program. Is there any way to get VB to publish the text files with the program so that no errors can occur. When I install and run the published program I get a series of errors relating to text files that are not found.

I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?
NOTE: I want that app files are installed to Hard disk( from USB stick source)Is the signing recommended or necessary? My App is pretty simple, its just using access DB + printer api, should I still sign?
today I finished my VB project which is a program that generates costs of pizza's by what the customer order. The code is all complete just looking for some idea's on to stop bugs and clean up the code. So below is all my code and picture of the form. Errors occur when someone doesn't pick a value, so what i want is there to be default values as 0.

The user has been running the app in question for over a year with no issues like this (this is a VB2008 business/database application with an executable 4.6 MB in size). Starting last week, "all of a sudden", the user started getting INTERMITTENT error messages like the following:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Creation of the ImageList handle did not succeed.
Out of memory.
Parameter is not valid.
The last two have been accompanied by the big "red cross" on the form (in the screen shots the user sent me).The fact that the one message mentions "ImageList" and poking around on the Internet for answer on "Parameter not valid" points in the direction of a graphic problem, but nothing has changed in this area for a long time, and the app only uses graphics in a very straightforward way, using images on buttons and menu items, but not doing any in-line graphics methods.

So when i build or click debug on my program. No errors come up and its smooth. So i decide to publish my programme. However. I come up with a bunch of errors during the publishing.
Here they are:Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 Simple CALC
Error 2 Unable to copy file "binReleaseSimple CALC.exe.manifest" to "binReleaseapp.publishApplication FilesSimple CALC_1_0_0_0Simple CALC.exe.manifest". The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I have written a small program to aide my business and the program works fine. But while compiling the code it shows a lot of warnings like the following."late bound resolution; run time errors may occur""implicit conversion from 'Object' to 'String'." Where am i going wrong. Even though the options strict off removes the warning I want to correct the warnings.

this is driving me insane. I have 4 text files that are needed for my application to run and I'm using the following code to read the data in them :
[Code]...
Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.
I'm looking to create a simple program with 1 text field, 1 button, and an area to display what is happening and if there were any errors.My goal is to be able to delete user profiles stored on a network drive by simply putting in the users ID and hitting the button.I'll use my own id as an example:If I put mdesieno in the txt box and hit the button, I'll need the button to map to the network drive and delete mdesieno.corp and mdesieno.v2 I would like the bottom half of the window to display text like:
"Deleting User Profile mdesieno.corp" SUCCESSFUL
"Deleting User profile mdesieno.V2" SUCCESSFUL
To me this seems pretty simple, but as I said, I do not know VB yet. Is there code out there that is already written to do something like this?
I've written a keydown event that needs to occur multiple times during the execution of a program, and it needs to play a sound each time. The first time the keydown event is triggered, the sound plays without a hitch. However, the second time (and all subsequent times) the keydown event is triggered, a system beep accompanies the sound. I'm using Studio Express '10 and I've already integrated e.SuppressKeyPress into my code:

I made an application which controls the parallell port and i want to publish it so i can install it in other PCs.The app i made uses some libraries or .dll files which i copied manually to the C:/WINDOWS/system folder.When i use the option Build>Publish Project.. i can create an installer but it doesnt install the .dll files.My question is:¿Can i create some sort of installer that includes those files into the system folder, or should i always manually copy them?
View 2 RepliesI have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
i have a application that i designed for an assignment which uses a DB (ACCESS) However when i publish the application it fails to load even though the application completes. I have managed to find that it is the database that is not copying over, how do i solve this (the db is located when debugging and is also in the project files)

PictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(CurDir() & "photos�.jpg")

Unhandled exception...

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?
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controlsNow when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.
What files do I need to include when I share my published VB form. I see in the "Application Files" folder there are all my version that I have published. Do I need to include all these or just the most resent with the Setup.exe?

I have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.
View 2 RepliesMy click-once app has english and spanish content. In development, it runs fine with the two resource files I have - named multilingual.en-US.resx & multilingual.es-MX.resx accordingly. When I publish it looses these resources for referencing.The files reside in the root directory for the app.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesWhen I publish my program, I can't see the folder that I have in my solution explorer appears together with other files. I have been wondering how to add a folder or I do it wrongly. I have using this method:-Project.. add... new folder and I name it as SC1. But when I publish it, I can't see in in application files(It's not embedded together). I can't use add existing as it required me to add a very specific files (Not a folder ). As what I can see, there is not specific properties for folder sc1 (build action /copyto output directory).
View 11 RepliesNow I have finished my another really small program. I have tryed to publish in several ways but with now result. So how can I publish it easily? I will share it so I'd like to have just one "setup" file which creates the another necessary files. (or just one bigger file?) but the main thing is that I dont want to start share 4-5 files...
I get it worked on my computer, that's not a problem. But then I upploaded all of the files (4-5) to mediafire, destroyed program from my computer and downloaded those files: Program didnt worked: Sayd just "U havent downloaded all necessary files" (something like that).
Well I think it's possible also to publish to new wep site. In fact I tryed to make wep site (with www.nettisivu.org ) (finnish quite good wep-page-creater) but the same result: no results at all. If this is the easier way, how I could upload my program straight to that site? In that "wep-page-creator" the final site looks that: xxxxx.nettisivu.org and editing page looks: xxxxx.nettisivu.org/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit..... (xxxxx=my name for site)
I'v tried using the 'Publish *APPLICATION NAME*' button under 'Build', but i don't know where to go from that dialog.
