• smithalovesdotnet Including non referenced dll in ClickOnce deployment

  I'm deploying an applikation using ClickOnce I need to include a dll from another project in the solution. This dll is not directly referenced in the project I'm trying to deploy, but is added as a Project dependency. This dll is not getting bublished alongside the rest of the project files and references. How do I get the ClickOnce deployment to include this dll file -- sparrez 1. I'd use msbuild publish target to get setup.exe file. Another way is by using GenerateBootstrapper msbuild task, but you would have to provide all parameters manually and then use SignFile task to sign it. Using publish task also automatically gives you prerequisites (if you have any, Crystal, for example) listed in the m ...Show All

• Sumit Bhatnagar 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 you need the MDAC redist - that's where msado15 is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/mdac/downloads/ and VS 2005 setup projects have a bootstrapper that will include the MDAC 2.8 install if required. Sorry, this did not solve the problem. Perhaps I am missing a step in deploying the application. I have added a setup project in the solution, and included the ...Show All

• Mithat Mese display member of checkedlistbox

  I want to use a checkedlistbox for users to check which record they want to select. Can I show the full detail of record(serveral fields) instead of a single field That's what I want !! Thank You !! Of cource the DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn can do the thing you want: this .dataGridView1.Columns.Insert(0, new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn ()); This statement insert a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn at the first column, it's just a checkbox column without any relation with your datasource if you do not set the DataPropertyName property of this column. Regards, Ye I think using a datagrid view is overkill if all you want to do is have a bound checke ...Show All

• RayClark096 MaskedTextBox

  I am trying use the new Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox control (new for .NET 2.0) with a mask type of Short date (00/00/0000). the problem is that when i pull a date value from SQL Server, the mask fails. For example if SQL returns 6/10/2006, the maskedtextbox displays 61/02/006. I tried to replace 0 in a mask with 9 (optional number), still the same problem. This is how i format date in code: if (clientDetails.Tables["Clients"].Rows[0]["AuthCodeStartDate"]!=null ) { AuthCodeStartDate.Text = String.Format("{0:d}", Convert.ToDateTime (clientDetails.Tables["Clients"].Rows[0]["AuthCodeStartDate"])); } Thanks for the help!

• alya User Control Wierd Bug?

  Hi there, I am currently working on a prorgam, I have recently started using the VS IDE. If I have a form with normal controls on such as label, text, button and such I can load in design view, but if I have a user control on a form and try and open the form in design view it will load up blank and if I save it, it will become "corrupt" and the build won't work. The workaround I found is the comment out the init's associated with the user control to stop the constructors from loading. Any help on what I could have done wrong Cheers Hi, What does your user control look like Martin Hi, I meant - can you attach the code Martin It looks like a grid. ...Show All

• xshua How to make it so an app installs for ALL users, not just the current one?

  I noticed when I create a setup.exe and install it, the app goes into \Documents and Settings\myUsername\... etc.  How can I make it go into \Documents and Settings\All Users\   And have the shortcut available for all users as well, on a global level   BUT still have the application settings on a per-user basis. This version of ClickOnce does not support control of All Users vs. Current User, you can only go to the current user. It's something that's being considered for future versions, but we wanted to get the Current User model right with this release.   And how exactly is that done This is correct... Setup projects are not in Express SKUs ...Show All
