Viewing VB6.0 Windows Form In "windows Server 2008"
May 21, 2009
I am facing problem in displaying VB 6.0 windows form when it is accessed from activeX control on windows server 2008 Is there any work around or any patch available to resolve this issue
I though I had solved this problem, but it is back:Code generation for property 'SelectedPeople' failed. Error was: 'Type 'ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person' in Assembly 'ECS, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.'The property on the error message is a List(Of Person) and for some reason it trigger this error, for almost anything I do, and its getting really anoying.Okanswering to the answers here is a little more information about the problem.
Yes it is during design time, it happens bascially anytime a open a form that has a UserControl that contains the Selected property in it, sometimes it happens even if I don't have focus on the form, also if I try to compile/run it happens and the message come in the form of a Message Box with just a OK, ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person is just a LINQ to SQL Generated Class, this should not matter at all to the problem, although I have added the attribute before the posting.he reason that this happens is because the Designer attempts to put the property on the Property Panel, and for that to happen, serialization happens.tryed to hide the property from the designer by using this attributes.
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _ <Browsable(False)> _ Public Property SelectedPeople() As List(Of Person)

I'm having an issue with my app where IE will get brought to the front of the screen when I am switching between forms. Basically I have a form with the man menu which consist of a few command buttons that will start up another form once a user clicks on the button. I do not want the users loading up multiple forms in my application, so once they load one form I end up hiding the main form. So my code looks as shown below when a button is clicked.
It is possible to create windows service using windows form control in vb.net. give me the url or links. The windows forms control such as, Timer control, list-box, notify-icon control etc.
having lot of problems playing a video on a form.Is there a better control for viewing videos than windows media player? For video resource files, what should the build action be? Will a form which has a 32-bit windows media player control on it work on a 64-bit computer?For some reason, the following code does not work:
If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached() Then strVidFilePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(Application.StartupPath & ".... esources")[code].....

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?
I have a .net Windows Service developed in VB.net. I have a settings file in the root directory called Connections.XML and I am setting the basedirectory [code]...
When I schedule the service this is working absolutely fine in my Windows XP machine. But when I installed the same service in our development server (Windows 2003 64 bit Server) for some reason it is not able to locate this file.
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.
I have a problem with scroll in a treeview in a Windows forms application (Framework version 3.5).
The strange thing about the problem is that on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 the scroll works as excepted, but in Windows Server 2003 SP2 the scrolling doesn't work. Enable/disable Visual Styles doesn't seem to make a difference on Server 2003.
Steps to reproduce the error:
1. Add a treeview to a form and add x nr of root items (and 1 sub item to each item).
2. Expand a number of nodes. The non-standard thing here is that we are changing the node integral height because we display a usercontrol with the treenode (See example of the code below).
3. When you scroll afterwards, you cannot scroll to the bottom node. The scrollbar is all the way down, but we are not seeing the last node.
Public Shared Sub SetNModeHeight(ByVal Node As TreeNode, ByVal IntegralHeight As Integer) 'Create instance of tvitemex structure.
i took this code from another example, it works fine but it a windows console application.i took the code into a windows form app but it looks like i have to change somethingto start, it says client is not defined, so what should i use?lient.startClient(clientSocket, Convert.ToString(counter))
Dim serverSocket As New TcpListener(8888) Dim clientSocket As TcpClient Dim counter As Integer
We are currently using Access 97 as our database. This resides on the remote farm server (which is a Windows 2008 R2 server). We are using a front end vb6 exe which accesses the back end data.Occasionally we are getting corruption to our database and we have to make sure everyone exits the software to allow us to repair/compact it. There are 2 physical servers, each running 2 virtual machines. When the user logs onto the farm using RDP, they go to one of these 4 virtual machines.We are getting all kinds of corruption, some where # characters have been inserted into the top of one table, some where the indexes are corrupted, and some where access needs to repair the database.
We recently upgraded our job server to Windows Server 2008. We have jobs we run manually in a folder (c:Custom Programs). Some programs are console programs others are have a gui. This one program has a gui.It also has a progress bar that shows the progress of the job when you click the go button. Of course it spawns a thread to do the processing. This thread creates a log file to write errors and other things too.
The problem is when the program goes to create the log file an access not authorized error is thrown. I checked the permission on the folder. All users are allowed to create/edit/append/execute. Pretty much everything except take ownership. Also, there's nothing that denies anything. So I see no reason why this isn't working. We can get this to work by using the run as administrator option when we first run the program. However, we don't view this as unacceptable solution. My only thought is the spawned thread isn't getting the same permission set as the program. Am I correct or does something think it's something else.
I am doing a project on sending mass email. My codes should be able to read contacts/email from the SQL Server 2005 database and send mass email with attachments.Below are my codes for sending email. My windows application limitation is that it can only send email from a valid email address to a valid address one at a time with the help of a relay server. Also, it doesn't allow the user to attach attachments and could not read from the sql server database.[code]

I am having trouble in creating a login form in my windows application.If i create a login form with its database local to the system ,it works fine .But my requirement is that the database is placed on a remote server so that the login is secured.When the user tries to use the application he first needs to login.When he puts the username and password in the login form it should send the data to a remote server for authentication.
We have migrated one of our websites from a windows 2003 machine with IIS5 installed.Search within the website also used an indexing service to search within a Catalog "index_pdf".The catalog indexed a folder on the server and Adobe iFilter 6.0 was used to be able to search through the pdf files. While migrating, we switched to another OS -> Windows 2008 (x86). On this machine we installed but now searching through .pdf documents doesn't work. We tested the website on a different server with different versions of PDF iFilters but unfortunatly without any result. Even on a Windows 2008 (x64) server with the 64 bit version of Adobe PDF iFilter we couldn't search through .pdf files.
Our findings:The classic Indexing Service in combination with classic ASP works. (filtering on pdf hasn't been tested)The classing Indexing Service in combination with ASP.NET doesn't work.On windows 2008 servers we have to use Windows Search, because IIS7.x communicates on a different way with the Indexing Service.Now we have to find a way to rewrite our excisting VB.NET code to a way in which it wil work with the new Indexing Service which we don't know to well yet.My question is how to approach this.
I am NOT allowed to install into Windows Server GAC. I am allowed to upload my program files to a shared drive, not the operating system drive.To begin, I created a simple Class Library .dll and uploaded the entire project folder to the shared drive. I have absolute permission to do anything with this drive and the computer. This class library has only (1) public property.I created a client exe. with a reference to the shared drive .dll. I do not want a local copy of the .dll into my client folder. I want all clients to use this shared copy on my shared drive. And I repeat, I do not want to install into the GAC. I also have full permissions on my terminal.I have created a key file (.snk) for my .dll, and set up assembly information (public id) and tested.I have tried without key(.snk file), and removed assembly information, and tested.Can someone point me into the direction to install/or not to install a MyClass.dll on a shared driveand be able to reference it from other applications?I do not want to use ASP.NET. This is just a base class. This is not a Web service. It seems Windows server 2003 wants this installed into the GAC (C:WindowsAssembly)I have to be missing something.
I have seen this happen before but am not sure how I resolved it in the past. On runtime the controls of my form change from the windows 7/vista format to an older version format as shown in the attached image.
How to display the controls in the format on the left (new windows format)
I have a windows service written in .net framework 2.0. This service installs and runs perfectly fine on both XP and windows server 2003.We have a new 2008 box that we are migrating over to, so need to get this windows service up and running.When i try to 'start' the windows service on the 2008 machine, i get "Windows could not start the <service> service on local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."I have searched everywhere looking for an answer, and all I could find was a fix attributed to .net framework 1.1 for this same error. That; however, is not applicable here, as the service was written in 2.0.
