I realize this post is rather long, but I wanted to give all the information up front instead of people having to ask me for more information.At the end of the re-installation of Visual Studio 2008, there is this message:
"Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard. MSI returned error code 1638" in the log file dd_error_vs_procore_90.txt.
I have searched on Google for this whole message and found some references to this error, but I have done what they said worked for them and it did not fix the problem for me.When I searched for just "MSI returned error code 1638", I got that it cannot install something because it is already installed:"Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel".In Add/Remove Programs I see these two programs:
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.3 Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.4
Are these programs/versions what the error is refering to? Am I safe to remove them and depend on the similarly-named item which would be newly installed with Visual Studio 2008 - "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard"? I still use SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my computer, as well as 2008. I had installed VS 2008 on my computer before without this problem and also have VS 2005 and 2010.
I've done a vb.net program. The program basically uses few reference for example system.io etc.In order for my program to run on another computer, the computer need to have .net framework 2.0 installed.Instead of installing the whole framework, can I just pack the references I used in the program together with the vb.net program.? What packager/packer program should I use and how do I go about doing it..?
I've been having a problem since installing the first beta of Visual Studio 2010 which has limited what i have been able to do. The problem centres around one reference: System.Design When I attempt to add the reference i get the following error: However, the System.Design.dll file actually does exist and is valid:
I have built a very simple application which has buttons, and dropdowns containing links to intranet/internet sites.As I have no Idea on how to put them into a database for easy maintenance, this app will no doubt cause me pain.Nevertheless.. When I do create a new revised version of the file.. eg 1.0.0.1 how to I go about setting the application to auto check for updates ?
My application runs using Framework 1.1. It runs perfect when the client PCs have Framework 1.1 (without SP).After installing Framework 1.1 SP1, Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 (and their Service packs), it gives a Nullreferenceexception error when adding a row to the datatable. This is the entire exception message

I have checked each of the values getting inserted and they all look fine. I even tried with values hardcoded but in vain. The patches cannot be avoided as they are pushed by our Corporate IT and we have no control over them.
I am a new Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and just finished and distributed my first program. However, one of my users (Using Windows Vista 64-bit) cannot install my program. He gets the following error An error occurred while installing system components for <PROGRAM NAME> Setup cannot continue untill all system components have been successfully installed. Component .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 has failed to install with the following error message: "Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install." Other 64-bit users on both Windows 7 and Vista don't have this problem.
I am trying to make a web application in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008 that will accept login credentials and compare them with an Access database for authentication/validation. I found lots and lots of examples for how to do this with a Windows Form App, but none with a ASP.NET Web App. tried to modify the steps for a web app but I'm not sure how to make it work. The database connection is good and the query seems to work fine. Here's where I'm having trouble. In the tutorial, he says to use:
01 Private Sub But_Validate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles But_Validate.Click 02 Private Sub But_Validate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles But_Validate.Click 03 Dim r = Me.UsersTableAdapter1.ValidateUserNamePassword(Me.Txt_UserName.Text,Me.Txt_Password.Text)
[code]....
No matter what I put in for the username and password (as long as they are valid values) I always get a "success," never a failure. I know my query is working right because I put a gridview on the page and bound it to the result from the query; when I type in a user/pass that is not in the database the gridview is blank, when I type in a correct user/pass the gridview displays that row from the database.
everyone know the start page of Visual studio it seems to be a web page, how I can make like it in my applications?
Edit, Add more details:
let us say that I want to show the recently opened forms or the Tip of this day, who I can do that, where to store the data and how to generate the HTML file?
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 with the Dot Net 4.0 Framework. I've been running around everywhere looking for the answer and haven't found anything. All I want to do is be able to access the Tags and Comments of an image file through my code. I've tried a bunch of different things but to no avail.
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo My.Settings.Properties.ToString()'didn't work dra.Attributes.ToString()'didn't work IO.File.GetAttributes(fullPathFile)'didn't work

And a bunch of others that I don't feel like undoing to.
I 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.....
A have a Setup and Deployment Project for a VB.Net application. The install seems to work fine except the shortcuts created cause the uninstall to run instead of pointing to the .EXE file.
When I run the setup.exe, I am getting a different version than when I run the actual application.exe. Why is that? The setup.exe seems to run an older version."I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive."
I have to develop an application using MS Visual Studio 2005 or above with the following objective:
* The application should allow users to create as many new forms as they want and each form should behave like a MS Visual Studio WinForm. By saying that it should be a container for drag and drop of controls from the toolbox that I will develop....
* Once the user design's each screen to his taste by placing various controls on the form, he should be able to save the form as a screen. Of course I have to provide functionality for each of the controls such as if he drags a button on to the form, he should be able to specify what action it has to perfom when clicked when the application is put into run mode. Quite similar to regular windows form button.
* My application should have two modes: a DESIGN MODE, where user can drag, drop controls and specify what they should do when put into RUN MODE. This is quite similar to MS Visual Studio designer.
* Last but not least is to be able to access the application via the browser with the same look and feel his desktop version.

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?
I have upgraded an existing project to be developed on Visual Studio 2008 but I still need to target the .NET framework 2.0My project had the prerequisite Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 but Visual Studio 2008 reports that that "could not be found for bootstrapping"Now my users get the error:Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.5.3700.0, ...' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
My nightmare had been back again ".NET Framework Initialization Error "I make a program in basic language but when I want to run the program out of visual studio IDE this Error appears for me : the title : " .NET Framework Initialization Error" the body : "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."
If I look at some classes in the framework, using reflector, I can see that forms and user controls are made private and nested into a parent class.For instance, I have a control which makes use of pop-up form that is specific to that control.At the moment, I make the pop-up form friend accessible.If I wanted to do it the framework way, I'd make it private and nest it into the control class.If I do this, however, I can no longer use the ide to design the form and I get errors when I try to compile.
I have a VB Windows Application in Visual Studio 2003 complete with it's own setup project. What I would like to do is during the installation of that project is to install a shortcut icon on the desktop that points to the location of the .exe file that was just installed on the user's machine. Unfortunately this option in the setup is not easy to find (at least to me) on Visual Studio 2003. What would I need to do in order to get that shortcut icon to pop-up automatically?
The 'DefaultLocation' for my application is set to '[ProgramFilesFolder]MyApp'. Now I would like the user to select what drive to install this application to. I know this is accomplished through the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog, but I want the user to be able to select a drive only, not the entire path.
My question is how do I capture what drive the user selected from the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog and use that drive letter to tack on to my 'DefaultLocation' variable?
" how can i make framework 3.5 setup run in silent mode??? "i want to make the framework 3.5 setup run under windows XP in a silent mode and that's mean i will setup framework 3.5 without ask the user if he want to setup or not .* that's happen when we setup the visual studio 2008 .net under Windows XP , it setup the framework 3.5 and 2 without ask the user .i need this because when i make a program it's run under windows vista and windows 7 but it didn't run under windows XP and that becouse of the framework 3.5 is not installed?
I created a VB Console app and it defaulted to .NET 4 but I need it to be .NET 3.5. I've been looking but all the references I find say to change it on the 'Compile' tab in properties but I don't have a compile tab or anything else that lets me change the target framework.
I'm working on deploying a visual studio 2005 windows application executable with an embedded crystal report using visual basic. It seems to install everything just fine, however, the system dsn isn't being setup.
How do you configure a setup project to setup the system dsn during the installation?
I've created a setup project for a VB.NET 2010 application that I've written. The application, and the installer both work fine on my development machine.The installer works fine on other machines, but when I run my application it immediately crashes and dies without telling me anything useful. I've tried it on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines... and all had the same problem, so I think it's more of a package configuration issue than a machine-specific problem.Here's the most useful information that I was able to get out of it:
Is there any predefined property by which I can set the DisplayFormat/DisplayStyle of a textbox? Suppose I want a textbox to hold the actual value 888888888888.88 and show it formatted as 888,888,888,888.88. In short it should hold 'Double' data type value and show it with thousand separators and decimal places upto two digits. If text is cleared from the textbox, it should have 0 as value and 0.00 as displayed value. Also the number of digits in the textbox may vary accordingly. So how can it be done?
