View 3 RepliesI have an app developed with VB .NET as front end and SQL Server Express 2005 Database. Now I want to install it on a server so that other client PCs can access it. My gquestions are:
1. Do I have to install SQL Server Express on the Server before I can install my database on it?
2. Do I have to install Visual studio on the clients before I can install the front end?
3. Is there any online walk-through/tutorial on how to accomplish this (ie, installing a database app on a server and connecting the clients)?
We are using a Windows 7 virtual machine as a testing platform for our VB 6 application. Th application utilizes an Access database.The application locates the database by looking at a configuration (ini) file.When I install the application on the virtual machine, it places a database where InstallShield directs it to and writes that path to the ini file. All well and good.However,somehow a second copy of the database is created in a user local folder.
If the user uses the "run as administrator" option, the application uses the database that is in the location designated in the ini file and that works fine. But if the user does not select the "run as administrator" option, the application apparently somehow attempts to use the local database and is unable to locate it.
Is this behavior is peculiar to the virtual machine, or is it something we need to be concerned about on "real" Windows 7 systems?If it is peculiar to the virtual machine, is there some way to get the virtual machine to behave more normally?
We are installing our application on windows 7. The application utlizes a Acces database. The application locates the database by looking in the registry under at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / WOW6432NODE / COMPANY NAME / SOFTWARE NAME /STARTUP. When i install the application on windows 7 it places the a database where installshield directs it to and writes the path to the registry. However, somehow local copies of the database are showing up under the user profiles. (Example: c:/users/profilename/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program FIles (X86)/Company/SoftwareName/Data). We recently changed it to store the information in c:/ProgramData/Company/software however the same issue occurs and its creating local copies of the database and when the application runs it points to the local copy of the database. What we need is for all users to be pointed to and use the same database in ProgramData, is there something we are missing to accomplish this?

View 1 RepliesI have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?

View 2 RepliesI have an application in which i have a database .mdf file in directory which i use a connection string to give a path of to access it, which means without installing sql server i can access database. Connection string below to access this database(.mdf) which placed in the directory.
dim con as sqlconnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLExpress;integrated security=true;attachdbfilename=|DataDirectory|Universal_data.mdf;user instance=true")
Now the question is that if i access this .mdf file without installing sql server, i also want to access to this .mdf file on other computer(client) after creating DSN or any other connectivity tool.
Let me know you that when i install sql server 2000 or 2005 i create SA user name and password which i use to create DSN on client computer and give SA username and password in the connection string that successfully works and client get access to sql server, connection string is below.
Dim serv = "MY-LAPTOP"
dim con as sqlconnection = new sqlconnection("Data Source=" & serv & ";Initial Catalog=clinic;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa")
I only need to know that my application access .mdf file without installing sql server works fine on a single computer, and i want to give access to this .mdf file on other clients without installing sql server on server computer (like i mentioned above paragraph) how will do it.....

I have developed an application in Visual Basic 2008. I really love the product.I am 99% done but am hung up on a Publish issue.I know the Publish feature is not a full install program - but it handles downloading the application prerequisits so well I really want to use it.My problem is the Install path. It installs my application is the strrangest drectory appdatalocal 615252-191891-919 (goes on for ever)
I can set the install directory to something simpler. Would love to get it in Program Files but will settle for AppData if it can be a reasonable directory name. If I have to tell a customer to look in that directory for some reason I would have to read off about 60-70 alpha numeric characters for the directory path - that isn't feasable.

View 1 RepliesI have developed a windows application which performs a series of database operations like select, insert, update. I am connecting to Oracle database and its working fine in development system. But, when I deployed this application, I am getting error at StartConnection (which opens the DB connection). After installing OracleClient in client system, its working fine. Now, my question is that do I need to install OracleClient to every user? If so, it will be hectic to do so as its size is around 200 MB and its not possible to ask all the users to install it just for a small application. I have tried adding some OracleClient files like orannzbb11.dll, oraciei11.dll, iraops11w.dll etc. But in vain! Could anyone please suggest me a work-around or a way to accomplish this?

View 6 RepliesI have developed application using VB 2008 and develop a MSI setup for installation. Now problem is on windows 7 it generate a warning message on installation of software that "The publisher is unknown", but the software install well on continue of this warning.When I run the software it did connect to Access database which is on installation directory, but it didn't allow to insert or update any data in the database. But when I run the software by right click on the EXE file "Run as a Administrator" then software works perfectly OK
View 1 RepliesMy routine to check for updates is run as a separate process. Exiting the application is required to update, so a dialog asks the user, when an update is found, if they want to exit now. f they do, the code (from the update thread) calls Application.Exit().However, if the FormClosed event of any form that needs to be closed needs to access its controls, an invalid cross-thread operation is detected (which sounds pretty logical).

I am using the web browser control to generate screenshots of an intranet application developed in ASP.NET.
The screenshot is generated, compressed and then stored as a BLOB in the database. When I developed this facility I investigated the best way of compressing the image (to the lowest byte size), however the images still seem to be too big as the database table is growing larger than I hoped. I am using the TIFF format, but I am now thinking that this may not be the best as it is used by photographers (who I assume require good quality photographs). Here is the code to compress the image (before it is stored as a BLOB):
