View 6 RepliesI have an update panel that has a table in it with 4 images. Every few seconds a new image is shown. All this works but when the image changes the whole page is refreshed. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and VB.Net 3.5.I only want the images in the updatepanel to refresh. How can I do that?
UpdatePanel Code:
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="upImgSwitch" UpdateMode="Always">
<ContentTemplate>
<table height="200px" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

View 1 Repliesis it possible to make one application send a task to another application and recieve the result from that secondary app?i made a text editor program and i added a scan feature and i made another app that has ocr capabilities.The scanner ability is in my text editor program, the ocr program doesnt scan you have to input an image into it and it will give text result a few seconds later.the prob is alot of times the ocr code uses sooo much memory and crashes when its incorporated with my text editor, but individually each application works fine and doesnt take too much memory. Memory wont be even an issue if the ocr program is standalone so that when it is done decoding image the application can be made to exit. now here is the question, how do i make my text editor send the image to the ocr program and how do i make my ocr program send the text back to my text editor? is it possible? i mean the only way i know off is creating temp files in a certain folder and having a timer on each program that keeps waiting for temp files. That just seems like pretty lame coding to me i was wondering if there's a better way?

I have always made a setup file with "instal creator" which have made a nice one file of my program and it have been easy to share. This time I need a chance to update my application. I read somewhere that having website is necessary or its much easier to do that way, is it true? I have worked before with ucoz/unet so I think I could use it.

View 13 RepliesI use SetParent to make an external application a "child" of my Main .Net application. This works fine.What I need to know is why can't I use Me.MDIChildren(0)I thought that using SetParent would increase the number of children by 1, thus allowing me to reference it with the above code, but it shows there are no children in the array.I have been trying, without luck, for 2 days to try to maximize an external app being displayed in my app. I can get it to display, but I would love it if it could Dock to the same size as its container (a panel)

My boss has just asked me to make an "Update Program Function" for our program.My program is being used by someone in my company. The database is put on server computer.At the present, my program run by some dll file, and when I fix or update the source code, i will compile to dll and put it on the server disk. After that, the users will go to this server disk and copy the new dll and overwrite the old dll in their client computer.
Now my boss asked me to make an "Update Program Function" : before the user login, the program will check the version (or the creation date) of the dll in the server disk, if it newer than the current dll, the program will update the new dll, else the program login normally How can i do that?

View 1 RepliesI want to make my applications to have a self update function. My applications have only one file, the main .exe. For updating, I want to use the best way: the program download it's new version overwriting itself; and on next start the program will be the updated version. I tried to use the ShadowCopyFiles, but all the times the main file is locked, so cannot overwrite it (or delete or anything). I found many examples in the internet like this:

I have written an application for a customer, and the application is run in various locations around the world. The company carefully controls the release of the software to the various buildings where it is being used, and because of this, I have made use of the "Check for updates" feature. The problem I am faced with, is that the folks using this software more often than not answers "NO" when prompted to download and install the latest version of the application. This is unacceptable and ultimately, we'll need to go in and have them manually install the software.
We don't publish updates to the software w/o meaning for them to be necessary, and I find it hard to believe that Microsoft doesn't recognize this sort of thing as being needed when they designed the update procedures. Alas, this seems to be the case.
I would like to implement update to my applications but not in the automated fashion. I would like the user to check for update, through version control in my database, and if there is a newer version, it will automatically shutdown the user's application and run the update (copy and replace files in the users application folder). After the update, it would restart the application for use. I was thinking in creating a .msi for creating and replacing files, still don't know how to create it! My main concern is to be able to implement a proven and correct .Net method for Updating applications. A best practice for deploying and executing updates to my applications.
