I am trying to use VB Net on Windows 7 to connect to a DB2 running on AIX. I don't want to have to set up an ODBC connection on every box so I really need something that I can do through VB Net. When I use the IBM.DATA.DB2 it does not work on Windows 7. I get an error: 'Type DB2Connection is not defined'

I am building a Setup project for a Web system using Visual Studio 2008. I upgraded my development machine from Windows Xp to Windows 7. The problem started with Windows 7. Whenever I try to build I get the above error. I ve tried several solutions given online but I ve failed to get a solution. When I transfer the system to a machine running Windows Xp or Windows 2003 Server it builds successfuly.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

View 1 RepliesJust placed out first Windows 7 PC in to a production environment and noticed that system.file.io gives errors about file not existing when using mapped drives to a network server. I can access the file through Explorer on the PC. When I chnaged the path to UNC using the IP and drive name instead of the mapped drive letter all works fine. Strange thing is for a few days during the testing period the application ran on Win 7 using the mapped drives in the file.io path. Not sure why it stopped working or how it worked in the first place. Question is on Windows 7 it seems like it doesn't like mapped drives in system.file namespace. Is tis true or are there more steps I need to do in addition to this This works as is, but when I change \172....vol1 to r: it bails, hence the thinking Win 7 is stopping the access to mapped drives.

View 3 RepliesI have written two functional identical vb.net applications: one runs as a Windows Form Application, the other as a Windows Service (LOCAL SERVICE). Associated with each of these applications is a MSACCESS Database that is read by and written to by each of the above mentioned applications. This MSACCESS DB has two local tables and two linked (Oracle) tables. Connection to this database employs the oledb object for the connection and dbAdapter (code segment included below).When the Windows Form Application runs, all is well.I am able to read from both the local MSACCESS tables and from the MSACCESS Linked Oracle tables. However when I try to do the exact same reads using the Windows Service (LOCAL Service), I am able to read the MSACESS local tables but I am not able to read the MSACCESS Linked Oracle tables. The error trace is as follows:

When I run this on an English Windows xp machine, it works fine, but when testing on a machine with a Portuguese version of Windows 7, a couple of the RTD server's dialog boxes will not open in the add-in section of Excel. Does anyone have an idea why this would happen in Windows 7 Portuguese?

There were several reference to compiling the program using x86.

Would it be possible to make a webbrowser link to the cookies and such of any windows user account no matter which windows user account you were on. So the user would use a drop down list or something then press a button and be able to switch to another user accounts internet explorer favourites, cookies, and flash cookies, rather than having to log out and then log into another user account?
View 3 RepliesI have a client that wants to connect to his MySQL database using Dial-up/Modem connection. All i know is a phone number. I will be using VB.NET 2005 for this project. We also have a LAN Connection setup to other computer, but some of this computer only uses Dial-up to connect. The LAN connection works fine because i can just use the Local IP to create a connection string.But my problem is how do i get to connect to a remote server using a Dial-up? I know building a connection string require an IP to connect. Do i need to get the IP after a dial-up connection is connected or to i need to use different approach? I have a server and i have 10+ clients, the server has a T1 connection + a dial-up modem installed also.I created a POS system to all the clients, Some clients uses dial-up some uses LAN. What the server do is all the records of the clients POS will be sync to one database on the server in one table. If i'm in the server and and i selected a station/client and click SYNC button all the records on that client will be sync to the server.
