Referencing Files That Were Included With Solution
Apr 19, 2010
my application builds a pdf with images in the solution explorer i added a folder called pics and dropped all the images there..when i run the program from my computer, there are no problems, but when i had a different user install the application they get this error:[code]
I would like to mix C++ Win32 DLL with VB in the same solution such as: [URL] It's just that I would like to reference the DLL with VB. In the example above:
hello,if i have a solution with two projects, and add a class at the Solution-level, how do i reference that solution-level class within one of the two projects?
if I use a third party distribution application like Setup2Go etc. to make my setup files, will my application run properly on user's computer?I mean how the required system files and dll files shall be included into my setup.exe?Does user need anything install, prior to my application's installation?
I'm trying to publish the application and install it on another PC. However, when I install the app, it doesn't include the .wav files; I have to add them into the folder myself once the app is installed. They are included in the solution window under bin/debug before I hit publish. Using My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath & "" & "Treyson.wav") to play the sound.
Basically, within VB (Visual Studio Express 2010) one can input text files (from "Add windows Form ->Text file" ). The thing is, I can never reference the text within them using the techniques that I know (which are limited, but anyway). It's quite annoying, to say the least. I can quite easily reference files outwith VB but I am experimenting with these, and its annoying that I can't do it...
I have a project/app released which references a dll from the GAC folder. The project is looking for version 1.0 of the referenced dll.
I want to release version 2 of the dll without having to re-release the app and have all users re-install.
I had thought if i deployed a policy with the new dll which redirected calls for the dll to the new version this would be ok. However I think I am missing something. IT seems the redirect is not working as when I test on a users machine, give them the version 2 dll and the policy dll but take away the version 1.0 the app fails. It seem calls to the missing dll are not redirected by the policy dll to version 2.
Policy config which is used to create the policy.1.1.CorpReportsClassLibrary.dll is as below.
Is there a way that I can include code or other files from other projects WITHOUT referencing them? I am trying to combine our projects into 1 EXE without DLLs. I do not want to use a self extracting EXE either. Let me know if there is a way to do it similar to the C++ #Include.
I am attempting to fully convert my Java/VB.Net application (That's actually working perfectly fine, however due to the referencing the jar files using IKVM the application is almost 27 MB big. For just a few classes this is extrememly huge.)I want to converted it strickly to VB.Net. I have 5 Javax.net.ssl references that I'm trying to figure out the VB.Net equivalent of. It seems to me that is should be in the System.Net.Security however I'm unsure as to the correct ones.
Here's an example of one of them: Imports SSLSocket = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket
I am working on a solution that contains 2 projects one to be built as an exe and the other as a service. Both projects will share a class for certian functions and properties. I would like to have both projects use the same physical file so when I make a change in one of the projects it is also made in the other.
This was simple to do in VB6 but as of yet I see no way to do it under dot net. It seems to want to make a copy of the file and place it into the project folder for the second project resulting in the need to either copy after every change or manually make the changes twice.
Anyone know if there is a way to have common files area for a solution so that any project within the solution has access to the actual file rather than a copy of it?
I am working on a vb.net Windows Forms application.I want the application to import Visual Studio Solution files from versions 2005 & 2008 (elsewhere on my Hard Disk).I am using Visual Studio 2010. I want the applicaton to find the files entitled - 'Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00 # Visual Studio 2010.' Thyese are the files I need. I aso know that it will find files - 'Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00 # Visual Studio 2005'.Under is my code thus far. Maybe someone can give me some advice as how to make sure that the applications returns the correct Sln files?
Does anyone knows how to export/extract/copy (or whatever is the right word) a file wich is added to the soulution, on the startup of a program, like somekind of installation?
Till yesterday I was working fine with my Project.I din install anything new, am not trying to open my solution file with a different version also.Today when i tried opening my solution, it was saying
"The Selected Fiel is not a valid solution file"
"The Operation could not be completed.Unspecified Error"
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
i have a folder called xulrunner that needs to be initialized - i originaly had the folder under c:\ and used the following code to initialize it. Xpcom.Initialize("c:\xulrunner")This worked fine, but because i want it to get included with the install, i included the folder in the project, and when built it goes to a folder on my desktop, that haves the folder allong with the exe's etc
so i swapped the above code to Xpcom.Initialize(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\xulrunner")However that does not work.
I was able to include (add) an existing project to a current one. I finally got all the references and libraries in place, and everything works great. I decided to move forward with development and started adding some features...much to my surprise, when I debug none of the controls are there (In the form belonging to the added project)...
Do I need to develop the second project from it's original solution (and not from within the combined solution)?
I have create an application in vb.net and ms sql 2005 as database storage. How do i create an installer that can be included in a CD. What i mean is if i want to install it in the virgin PC the Installer CD would be able to run the application without an problem. Which software protect licensing installer i can use to create this.
I have a non-click once setup to install a windows service. I have added the prerequisites as specified (extract from doc below). But when I build the solution the prerequisites do not show up. I am choosing .net, mdac 28, crystal XI r2 and the option to download prerequisites from the same location as my application. The program dosen't look for them. What am I missing? I have another windows service that is setup identically and it drops the prerequisites in sub-directories off the.. elease folder and the setup installs them if necessary. To choose which prerequisites to install
I just build a program and when I install to a computer it gives me an error. The eroor is simply to install .net 2.0 and then everything works fine. So I was wondering is there a way I can package the program so it installs .net first and then the program automatically?
I have added an XML file (File.xml) into a project (I can see it in the Solution Explorer), it resides at the root directory level of the project i.e. the same level as the VB program (.vb), the bin directory and the References directory etc..
Private Function ReadRequestedSecurityToken(ByVal rstr As XDocument) As RequestedSecurityToken Dim requestedToken = ( From rt In rstr.Descendants(WSTrust13Constants.NamespaceURI.ToString & WSTrust13Constants.ElementNames.RequestedSecurityToken) Select rt).FirstOrDefault() If Nothing Is requestedToken Then
I created a empty Web application called Grocery Store and added a new web page named Default.aspx to the application. I have changed the DOCUMENT objects Title property to Grocery Store. The DropDownList control needs to contain the store numbers listed. I need when the user clicks the Enter Button, the buttons Click Event procedure should display the names of the manager and Assistant manager.
I would like to enumerate an assembly's referenced assemblies and determine what should or should not possibly be included as a dependency in deploy scenarios.For obvious reasons I would want to exclude those assemblies that would be included by the CLR install.Is there any way to track back an assembly to being part of the default install of the CLR?
I am including a file in my project where the BuildAction is content and Copy to Output is Copy Always However, when I publish and give the user a way to copy the file to another directory I keep getting File Not Found.The code looks like:
I made a setup project and added a folder for desktop shortcut. My application includes database file as well. When I installed the application and ran the shortcut from desktop, it gave Desktop's path and said ABC.mdb not found.
Following a move away from Desktops and onto Terminal Server machines, I'm having to recompile a number of projects created by my illustrious predecessor at the company.One of these projects is a fairly simple WPF MVVM project, with an error-reporting component added as a referenced project, i.e. the reference is to the project, not to a DLL. Both of the projects were started in earlier versions of Visual studio, but both now target framework 4.0 and are being maintained in VS2010.The whole thing compiles fine, but at runtime I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'companyName.Tracer, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0156bfd00d8c2368' or one of its dependencies.The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
The referenced project is signed with a .pfx file, though I have tried compiling with and without the signing, and it appears to make no difference.I'm not sure where "Version 2.0.0.0" is coming from. The referenced project is at version 1.1.* and the main project is also at 1.1.*.Presumably I'm missing something obvious, or I've failed to include some vital piece of information, so I'll try to respond to any requests for additional information as quickly as possible.
