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?
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.
View 4 RepliesThe '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?

I have downloaded and run the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.5-win32.msi. The wizard goes through the process but when I go to vs 2008 and try to Add a Data Source or Show Data Sources I get a blank. NOTHING! Just like I had not clicked on the command. There are simply no data sources available in this virgin copy of Visual Studio 2008. I cannot even access an access db!
View 5 Replieshow to use the VS 2010 IDE tools in a way the Microsofties didn't specifically intend. But since this is something I immediately tried without success.
I have defined a .NET 4.0 WPF Application project with a simple class that looks like this:
Public Class Class1
Public Property One As String = "OneString"
Public Property Two As String = "TwoString"
[Code]....
The expected result was that "OneString" would appear next to "One" and "TwoString" next to "Two" in the running window.
The question is: Why didn't this work? What will work instead? If I put bindings in a DataTemplate, it works. Blend, with its sample data stuff, implied that this should work, but it doesn't.
im trying to add a new data source to my visual studio 2010 project. As it stands my project consists of a few windows forms. I plan on making it access a database (made in access, unless this is a problem), and be able to perform pre-set queries, search/sort, and basic delete,add,edit functions. I will hopefully be later adding the function to print reports according to the database entries.However, the problem i am having is that when i go on to data sources, and click add new source, the following happens:3, it asks me which connection i will be using, i click new connection, then in the new connection dialog i choose the following : Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB), then i browse for the database i made in the 'database file name' box, Then i delete the default username in the log in to database bit, as my database has no protection.
View 3 RepliesI am studying crystal report with visual studio 2008. I knew OLEDB, ADO.Net And ADO connections etc. But whatever connection that we must assign data sources. I want to non-configured and assign data sources as like data-grid. In the data-grid, we can configure data field name and generate data assignation in runtime. Can I do this for report or not. If I can this, tell me how can I do this.

View 3 RepliesI installed the latest version of Toad yesterday. When I restarted Visual Studio 2008, the project that is my installation package for my application would not longer load. The message I get in the output window is "The Visual Basic Deploy Deployment Package ({CCD045E8-6236-4B3D-B820-97F7DD14C77C}) did not load because of previous errors." When I try to reload that project, I get the following error: " The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported" I tried to repair the VS installation, but that originally failed. The Deployment folder under Common7Tools was currupted so I ran check disk. A few bad files and clusters were found and corrected and the second run of check disk ran clean. I uninstalled Visual Studio and then reinstalled it, but am still getting the same error. I tried reinstalling .Net 3.5 before the reinstall of VS as well. I tried creating a new installation project, but that failed as well.
View 1 RepliesI 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.

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."

View 2 RepliesI 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 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:

The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.
