I wanted to know how I can make a stand alone exe without making the user install the application. So that the program can be ran from a disk or flash drive. Currently I can run it just fine on the PCs, I'm developing it on. But when I take it to another, that has the targeted framework, it crashes.

I'm tired of how to make my application stand-alone exe. I have created a small application console using C# in visual studio 2010, and I want to make it run on other computers with out having to install .net on that machines. and also make it just like notepad.exe with just click and it will run. I've read a lot of articles talking about netz or ILmerge.exe or mono which is so difficult to me to understand. and another question is how to know how many .net files or dll s that my application needs?
View 5 RepliesI created a simple application that when a user logons onto their Windows account, the application pops up to display the computer usage agreement.آ The user at this time has the option of accepting it or declining it. If declined they are logged out of windows, and if they accept they can continue using windows. When I installed the application logged on as the administrator, it only installed in the administrator profile, thus not allowing the application to be run from startup under any other account except admin.آ My first question is, how can I install this application that is it accessible to all user accounts? The second question is how can I program the application to freeze windows until the user clicks the accept button, without puting a timer event that if the accept button is not clicked in a certain amount of time to log off the user.

View 1 RepliesMy program has 1,000 + .rtf files and when I publish/Install it's HUGE! 200mb +. I have other apps from other software companies that have more documents than mine, and their entire application is around 50mb. What am I missing here? How do I accomplish the same thing? Does it have to do with the Property Settings of the .rtf files called: "Build Action" and "Copy to Output Directory"? I set my "Build Action" to "Content" for all my .rtf files, and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".

View 2 RepliesI'm making an application where a user draws a shape on a picture box( this will be saved on a bitmap image), then another user has to draw on that shape (=follow it ) . if the 2nd user goes too far from the line then an error message will appear.
for example( in case i couldn't clarify this well!)the 1st user draws a a vertical line, the 2nd user has to follow it, if-while drawing on it- he gets too far horizontally, there would be the error.
I'm currently thinking of comparing every point by the 2nd user to its equivalent in an array containing the points by the first user.

View 3 RepliesI'm developing a very simple program in VB2010 Express that will create folders based on entries in a remote database. I am fully aware that the minimum requirement to run the exe is the latest .net framework, however I have a few added resources to the file, and when I try to run the executable on another computer, it fails to run stating that the resources are missing.
How do i compile my VB code AND the resources together into a stand-alone executable that only requires the .net framework to be installed?I have already tried to google this issue, however every answer I find has nothing to do with my initial question..
I have a stand alone application "test.exe" on a Windows 7 operating system.I have an application "test.exe" made in Visual basic 8.0.I have an "Auto Update" function . Call this function from "test.exe". In the first line in "test.exe".This function does the following:
1. This checks whether the current version is older than the version on specific site, if so:
1a. Removed all *. old
1b. Rename test.exe to test.old
1c. dowload new test.exe
I'm afraid I get an error when I rename "test.exe" to "test.old" because "test.exe" is now active.How can I prevent this or what else should I do?

I am new convert from VB6 and needs some help developing a stand alone application in VB 2008 that needs access to stored data values.All applications I have developed so far have been for computers that have either SQL Express or Access installed locally on the computer. This has made development really easy since I could use ADO to access and query the data.
The application I am now developing will be installed on a computer that does not have any of the MS office applications and I do not want to install SQL Express on the computer. But I still would like to use an 'ADO type' functionality to access, query and modify the data stored in the system.I started looking into using XML, but I was unable to find much information on querying and modifying individual elements.
I have a form that has 35 checkboxes. I would like to change the font to bold if the box is checked to make it stand out in the document.

View 3 RepliesI have finished coding a VB.Net application that has connection to SQL Express 2008 database. My question is, what steps do I have to take to make this a multi user application.
FYI:There are 3 tables in the database of which two tables contain data to be viewed by the user and one table is to insert records by the user. The former two tables will be edited by the administrator only. So there is no issue of concurrency. But the one table that is used to insert records by all users has to be dealt with.
