I've copied the files albanyc.ttf and MTCORSVA.TTF into 'Resources' and set the 'Build Action' for both to 'Resource'. A label is set to one or other of these fonts dependent upon what is being displayed. This works fine on this PC but when I copy the program to my laptop it seems to me that neither font is used and the same 'other font' is used in stead of either of the ones I want to use. I tried setting the build action to 'Embedded Resource' but that made no difference and I got an error message when I tried 'Compile' (I kinda expected that, but thought it worth a try). Both CP and laptop have the same OS, Win.7 64bit, the only difference is that the PC has Pro. and the laptop Home P.

View 9 Repliesrecently i have been working on a desktop project, and i made couple of changes to the project, one of them was changing the build action for the App.config to "Embedded Resource" by mistake! after that i built the application and no compile errors were shown, so i tried to run it but the following run time error showed up:
{"An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The URL cannot be empty. Parameter name: url"}
but it did not specify more information about the exact cause or the exact error place. so it will leave you in a miss!
for awhile, i did not know what was the cause of this due to the numerous changes i did, so i started to review my latest changes one by one till i discovered that changing the build action for the App.config file was the reason for this error.
a datacontext defined in a module(domain services ado.net ria)a page having add/delete methods whenever any method is executed, it is found that all the previous actions (NEW RECORD ADDITION and DELETION OF RECORDS) are carried out before the new action is carried out normally
this behaviour is not prominent but "when using break points and inspecting the values of the variables and table object to be added to context, it is clear that all the previous actions take place again. even when the datacotext. savechanges is called, even after that still all actions carried out on the datacontext repeat themseleves, when any new action is to be carried out
When having hundreds of .rtf files in an app, is it best (and Quickest) to set the "Build Action" as "Content", "Resources" or another property setting?

I've been using ClickOnce for about year now (and regretting it), here my latest problem.I've deployed my app on about 20 PCs, and they working fine apart from one, it won't update to the latest version, it gets to about 25% and then says it can't continue, the details suggest for one of the DLL files: The manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened. Once again, this does not happen on the other PCs.Heres what I've done so far:uninstalled completely, deleted the cache (app folders in the users profile), ran mage.exe -cc to make sure, but still no change.It also says the xxxxxx.dll is not a valid portable Executable (PE) file... but it seems to be on the other PCs ?So, before I format the hard drive and re-install windows

View 2 RepliesI have used Express for a while and am running the 2010 trial full version at the moment. So I am pretty new to all the tools in the full version, and I am building my first dll that I need to embed a manifest in.If I add a strong name to a support dll I get this message
xx.dll is a strong-name signed assembly and embedding a manifest invalidates the signature. You will need to re-sign this file to make it a valid assembly.If I don't sign it I am told it is unabale to emit assembly because my support dll doesn't have a strong name.I found the post below in the c++ archives, and the thread sounded like what I was running into. I can't seem to find where to access Linker.

I have a small project that simply copies some downloaded files from one directory to another. It is actually updating another program. The program is in the Program Files directory, therefore I need to elevate in Vista to requireAdministrator. I went to properties, clicked the UAC button, made my changes, compiled, and...no manifest file is created.

Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?

I've build a small web app for the iPad which I was hoping to be able to run offline by using the manifest cache but I can;t get it to work.I am serving the cache-manifest file as a MVC view and setting the content type to text/cache-manifest. The manifest get's processed but doesn't add any items to the cache. Using Firebug I've tried to view the window.applicationcache but it's empty. Must be missing something obvious!The head of my HTML page looks like this

The clickonce manifest expired for my application and now will not let me publish the application. I can create a new certificate with no problem but i was reading that i will have to uninstall the application from all the machines. but i publish my application as an Online application, so will i still need to uninstall the application or does that only apply for Offline applications?

View 1 RepliesI've been having an error with my Visual Studio 2008 with .net framework 3.5 Sp1. I am creating a project, and it would run properly until after a while when I try debugging the project I would get a error message that says:
"Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly 'Name_of_Project' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest."
Also the .exe file that it creates in the bindebug folder gives and error that says:
"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click OK to terminate the application."
These errors after a format of the machine would disappear for awhile but not indefinitely.
I have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
I am using source safe to maintaine my code.Recently I copied my code to another machine.But everytime i build my project i am getting below error:Problem generating manifest. Could not load file or assembly
'D:WorkingFolderProjectSubFolderobjReleaseSubFolder.exe.manifest' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.When i check above manifest file is empty (0k).I tried rebuilding (after cleaning solution) , also tried with copy pasting previus manifest file content.None of above solution worked.
Is there any Bootstrap Manifest Generator available for Visual Studio 2010? If yes, then please provide the relevant links and details.
