View 6 RepliesI have an ASP.net 3.5 website and I am using vb.net in VWD 2008 Express, I am also using MS SQL Server 2008 Express, I used ajax tabs and a textBox charavters counter control develped by [url]...The database is attached with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express and the files are stored in the SQL default "Data" folder.
The whole project's code and forms are stored in a folder in my E drive.I need to hand the whole project to another coworker who have to finish it, please describe in steps how can i make my website portable (like i can put it all in a folder that he can carry around in his flash disk).
Is it possible to make that an application doesn't have to be installed so it would be portable?
View 5 RepliesI have a simple app (coded in VB 2008 Express Edition) that uses an SQL Server database (in .mdf format) that works fine on my own machine. I created the database in SQL Server on this machine. I added the DB as a data source and it works fine. But when packaged this app (ClickOnce) and installed this app on a different machine the installer tries to download MS SQL Server Express. Obviously this is because SQL Server is a prerequisite and is not installed on the other machine. But just as obvious is the fact that the download will take a long time to complete before my code even starts installing.
My question is this: Is there an SQL Server reference (using Add Reference...) that I can add to avoid this? I suspect the application just needs one or two DLL files from SQL Server. Downloading the whole product seems like overkill. Is there a way I can included the needed files in my app to avoid this long download process?

View 15 RepliesFirst let me say yes this is for homework and no, I DO NOT want an answer in code. A simple nudge in the correct direction will suffice.Basically I am attempting to roll the dice with the roll button and then display the number of times a number shows up with a bar graph.

View 8 RepliesI was thinking to make an app to save images [or download images] to local hard disk. But to keep it easy, I want this app to create a small picturebox on form to show the thumbnail of downloaded image. Lets say a 5 pictureboxes has to be added with the thumbnails to show the recent downloads. A user can save the location where he wants to save the files on hard disk. A listbox or a dropdown menu will help in categorizing the images, like image1 in friends section, image2 in family section, image3 in others, etc... When the program restarts all the latest 5 thumbnails has to be loaded in pictureboxes and the directory that was chosen. Finally, a button that shows the downloaded images into original image file size one by one or a slide show. Is it possible to make such program?
View 2 RepliesI have placed several PictureBox Images of different colored dots(which represent lights) on an image of a Christmas Tree. I can make the lights randomly flash using a randomGenerator and a Select case statement. However, the code is very long. There are 67 lights on this tree and the code is 71 pages long. There has to be an easier way to do this. So far I have tried the following with two images of lights just to see if it would work and it does not work:
Dim picLight(2) As
Boolean
For intX

I'm creating a form which is basically an image in a picture box that I use the graphics object to do drawstring's and drawimage's upon.I keep track of where I'm drawing these things so that I can click on them later and do various things (launch external apps - whatever).Is using a picturebox and the graphics object the best way to approach this.

View 7 RepliesI was wondering about the possiblity of creating a portable application in vb.net, not for anything specific - more out of curiousity than anything else. The only way that i have thought of doing this is creating an application, grabbing it out of /bin and it would save settings in a xml file or text document/whatever.
View 4 RepliesI have run into a problem with a couple of the "Sync" applications I wanted to create. In both instances, I am trying to connect a Portable Device to my computer and access it using VB.NET. One application would pull the pictures in from my camera, rename them, and put them in folders according to their date taken. The other would place the podcasts I have downloaded onto my Mp3 Player. I have the logic for both so that if I run it on two Windows directories, for example (C:Source and C:Destination) but when I try to access the Portable device using a directory browser, the "OK" button is disabled. Is there any way to access the directories on such a device?

Can anyone suggest something like a: Checklist or Must Do list to achieve this?PS: I have had a problem trying to move the project from one server to the other, the project seems to look for the dlls of the AJAX control and the textBox counter where i originally unzipped the folders in which they cam in, which i think was on my desktop, although when i added those controls to the Tools tab, i created a new tab, then i choose the dll from the where i unzipped the controls source code, aint that enough?
I need to make a program in VB but I have absolutely no idea what to do or how to write the code for it.The program needs to roll 2 dice comprised of picture boxes (one large picture box with 7 small picture boxes inside it for each) add the two numbers together and then calculate the percentage of each total number per roll.
I'd just like to say please bear with me. I'm a total newbie to coding. I know a little bit of web development but I'm incredibly new to making programs. Teach me and I'll get better, I promise.

View 2 RepliesI would like to use the .NET FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a folder path which is located on a device currently connected to the host computer and is being managed by Windows Mobile Device Center. The environment is Windows 7 Pro, x64.
When connected to the PC, the device is listed under "Computer" -> "Portable Devices", and I can navigate to its filesystem from there. When setting the "Path" property of my VB .NET app's FileSystemWatcher class object instance, however, it only accepts a valid string-representation of a standard filesystem path (eg. c:somedir hisdir), whereas the address bar of a navigable portable device reads "ComputerPocket_PC";a value which throws an exception at runtime.
Am I able to use the FileSystemWatcher class in this context? How else could I get a PC app to monitor file activity on a handheld device while it is attached?

View 1 RepliesI have a problem regarding bill printing on roll paper. My printer is Epson LX-300+II, my roll paper is about 3" width, and is used for printing bill/invoices for the customers. The number of items varies.Whenever I finished printing the bill, the printer throws out/ejects the paper, as long as about a letter (11") size. Whatever the ways to achieve this, I just want the printer stop printing/ejecting after the last line, then i can tear off the bill for my customers without wasting paper.
I'm really wondering someone out there could help me.. I have worked hard for this, and searched in internet, but it seems that there's no applicable and clear solution. If the solution is in VB, please give me the code to implement this, or give me a very simple example application.I cannot make a custom size in my printing preference.
