• joycemok 3rd party dll not in global assembly cache

  Hello, I have created an application that has 3rd party controls. I published it to a file system for local network install. When I click 'install' on the default page, I get an error "xxx.dll not found in global assembly cache". What causes this and how can I publish the app so users can install it successfully It sounds like the msado15.dll is probalby not registered. In theory, it should already be on the target machine and registered. Check that first. The best way to get that on a machine is to use Microsoft's redist, if there is one, for that system, and deploy it using the Bootstrapper. Also, are you deploying to the same OS as you are developing on There might be a mismatch in al ...Show All

• aruyp Application Settings of User Scope shared amongst assemblies?

  VS 2005 final release. I have written a Class Library (dll) that is to be referenced by several other Windows Applications (exe's). This seems to be working well (I know - not a big wow) except that in my Class Library, I have several Settings of User Scope defined. The problem is that when I reference this Class Library in another Windows App and run the Windows App, the User scoped Application Settings from the Class Library end up getting persisted in a file that has the name of the Windows Application in it - in effect this will allow each windows application to store its own version of the dll's user settings. I could see how this may be good sometimes, but for this particular dll, I would like the user scope settings to be stor ...Show All

• MNDANG How to improve the drawing process of my panels?

  Hi, I have some panels with a lot of labels and buttons. Each time I bring a panel to the front, it takes several seconds to be drawn. This is very annoying, since while it is being drawn lower layers, sometimes even the desktop, shine through the panel background in the label and button locations. Are there ways to either: - speed up the drawing of a panel and all its controls; - prevent lower layers from shining through the panel background while the controls are drawn; - draw the entire panel while it is invisible and then show it all at once Will things improve if I don't use controls at all but write/draw directly on the panels (and then identify the 'sender' of an event by checking the location o ...Show All

• Axe22 TabOrder for multiple groupboxes and other container controls

  vb2005 i have a form which has multiple groupboxes, tablelayoutpanels, and other container controls. i would like to set up a TabOrder which not only stores how to tab within each container control, but also stores on which order do i want to tab from one control to the next. for example, if i have 2 groupboxes on top, and 2 groupboxes on bottom, how do i set up a tab order that goes Up-Down within each groupbox, and Left-Right from container to container thanks! thanks i hadn't realized you could set the tabindex on groupboxes! all these years!! thanks again. NY I believe this would just be a simple matter of setting your tab order in each control within each group. ...Show All

• Pisces Stored procedure with combo box?

  On a Windows form, I have textboxes to show data rows of a main table. The main table has a foreign key to a minor table which is a list of status values ("Pending", "In Progress" and "Done"). The object is to display the status in a listbox or combobox. I want to know how to do this. Some notes: 1) The code to set up connections, DataAdapters, CommandBuilders, bindingsources, Datasets, etc works fine. 2) I would like to set up any constructs in code rather than with a wizard. 3) Unless I have to I want to avoid creating the relationship between the tables in the wizard. 4) I get the sense that one Dataset can access and update both tables, but I don't know how to tell the dataset about additional tables. ...Show All
