Include .sdf Database File When Packaging Application?
Apr 20, 2011
I was able to create an application in VB.net that talks to a SQL Server CE database.Now i want to deploy this application using the publish feature with clickonce.An issue im having tho is when I install the application on another computer it keeps looking for my sql server on my development pc.
Ive added the .sdf when i package my solution but its still an issue.How do I change my connection string to connect to the .sdf file that I included in the package? this is my current connection string which looks at the sql server: connectionString = " Data Source=CHRIS-PCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ce_db;Integrated Security=True"

It doesn't work.Please suggest me steps so that I can have the required softwares packaged with my application so that the user when he installs, it installs at one go.

just picking up on VB.net after a long absence and still trying to get into the swing of things.
I am looking to write a program for work, which is essentially a skills database. However, I need the program to have a locally held database, which does not require a server.
What is the best way to go about incorporating a dataset into the current project so that when built, it will be accessible on any computer that runs the exe file?

When I publish my program I get no errors, and then when I install it on another machine it says it gives me the error that it can't read the txt file that it stores data in. If I hit continue it also fails to read the database. The database file is stored in the bin/debug folder and I told my program to include it when I first added the data connection. Anything I can do to have these included so my program can run on other machines?

I would really like to know if there is anyway in which I can package two or more set up files together with my vb.net application; so that after installing the application, it automatically starts installing the other applications from the other set-up files.

This is the code I have right now
pZipFilename = "C:\123\1234.zip"
Using pkgMain As Package = Package.Open(pZipFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
For Each pkgPart As PackagePart In pkgMain.GetParts()
...
The problem I'm having is that pkgMain.GetParts() never returns anything even though the .zip file has around 100 items in it.

I'm using the System.IO.Packaging namespace to compress a file. I'm getting an error that says 'file contains corrupted data'. So i tried using a txt file with just a few characters, and I got the same error. I read where someone said to make sure you have all streams closed and I checked this and do so I'm not sure what to try now. Here is my code.

I have a software package with a bunch of libraries and header files that I am trying to use in a VB.net application. The software help file states the following: The MIL DVD includes MIL libraries that support the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 (unmanaged) compiler under Windows Vista/XP. The DVD also includes ActiveMIL ActiveX controls for Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003/2005/2008, Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003/2005/2008, and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003/2005/2008 RAD tools.
To compile a MIL application program, you must include the mil.h header file, in addition to the required standard C include files. After you have compiled your application program, you will have to link it with the appropriate libraries or import libraries for your operating system, compiler, and target board.

I built a program in visual studio 2005 that access a Microsoft Access database. I need this program to be a standalone program on many machines. To do this, I need to install a copy of the database when the program installs. I tried including it in the application files part of the build, but the problem I am having is the connection strings dont update with the install. It still tries to point to the folder it is in on the comnputer i built the program.

I was just forced to switch from VB 6 to .Net. I have my program working but I can't figure out how to include the database that I'm writing to in the install package. I can get the program working by dropping it in but I have to deploy this to other locations and I'd like it to be easy for them.

I used BackGroundWorker control on a Windows desktop program. It worked great and I would like to use it with other languages. Which languages does it work with -- ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF, Class libraries (dll), console applications, services,
WCF? I see that it is in the System.ComponentModel namespace. Is that used by more than Windows desktop programs? If it's not used everywhere, is there an equivalent class on other platforms?

My company has an application that until now has been distributed as exe-file together with lots of dlls. I am about to make an installtion program for this application, but there is one big problem. The database can be both access and SQL, the user decides by what he/she writes in the connection string in the .config file. I know how to insert a custom action in the installtion program to enable to let the user chosse this during installtion, but I don't know how to include the database in the project, especially since it can be both access and SQL.

It used to be that the VB6 installation tool automatically recognizes a MS Access dependency and includes the appropriate DLL(s). In VB.Net (2008) I am struggling with the concept of having to have two different installations, one for my tool and one for the 2007 MS Access Database Engine... Can you tell me if there is at least a way of manually including the appropriate Database Engine Files in my application installation?
