• Visual Basic Deployment Option

  Hello, I want to deploy a .NET 2.0 app using click-once, but I want the program to be installed on the hard-drive of the user. I set it up using publishing to deploy to a file share, where a setup program was. Does it install on the user's computer It seems to just link to the share. How do I install on the user's machine, and deploy updates through click-once, kind of like how Reflector works, where you get a prompt that your program is out-of-date and you want to update Thanks. If you check the "This application is available online or offline", it will be installed under the current user's account on the local machine.

• Visual Basic How can we restrict copy between hard disk and removable disk?

  Hi All, I need help in restricting copy between hard disk and removable disk, can some one hint me as how can this be done. The basic idea is to stop leakage of data. Regards, Dinesh You do this by setting up security policies that prevent this and by not giving ordinary users local administrative access to their systems. This is a network administration function, it's not something that you would do from application code. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Terminate program from nested function

  Hi, I'm writing a .dll. I'd like to know how to stop all the code running from anywhere in the solution. For example: -A class of the .dll is called from an .exe. -Function A is called from the main sub. -Function A calls Function B. -Function B calls Function C. -I need to terminate all the running code from Function C with a simple method/function. Is there an easy way to do this Sometimes it gets very long to propagate error handling back tho the main sub when deep into functions. I hope I explained it clearly.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Smartcard based authentication with CardSpace

  When choosing to use Smartcard based authentication with CardSpace, how does the transmission from the certificate between the smartcard reader and the STS takes place The Information Card specifies the thumbprint of the certificate to look for, but what is the exact technical background; does it just searches your computer's Certificates store and all smartcard drives for that certificate, and then sends it towards the STS Would like to know more about it, since nothing specifically seems to be documented about this feature I think I understand your problem a little better now and can see what you are trying to do. The bad news is, and hopefully I'm wrong here, is that this feature ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with Debug Output

  I recently updated my virus application and have noticed that (whether it's running or not) the virus program will continually output DLL load/unload messages to my Debug Output window, which makes testing a huge pain. The messages are as follows: 'LogCopy.exe': Loaded 'C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Internet Security 2007\TMAS_OE\TMAS_OEHook.dll', No symbols loaded. 'LogCopy.exe': Unloaded 'C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Internet Security 2007\TMAS_OE\TMAS_OEHook.dll' I'm using MS Visual C/C++ 2003 and am building a .NET Windows Forms application. I've written the software vendor about this problem, but was wondering if there's a way to filter out the messages in the Debug window itself In case anyone i ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express, Saving Queries?

  I opened up a new project using Visual Basic Express, and selected the SQL object to start creating a database. Well I finished putting all of my tables together and started making the queries but for some reason I can't save them like when I finished making the tables. When I finished making the tables I could just click the disk icon and name the table and it would appear in a drill down menu on the left. However when I do that with the queries it just says it's saving in the lower left corner but it doesn't do anything I am new to VB & SQL so any help is appreciated. Thank you. Hmm, that seems kind of odd then because it should have given me the opportunity to name the file when I chose save as but that wasn't an option. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cannot open Designer

  I cant open the designer because of this warning: Warning 1 Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 0 0 Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't panic. It was probably the last control you added to the form. In the Solution Explorer, click "Show All Files". That reveals a "MyForm.Designer.cs" file.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance Questions

  I have two questions regarding how much of a hit certain practices might take to the speed of the game and if anyone has taken the time to run the system through its paces yet. 1) How badly does using accessors (private members with public get and sets pointing to them) tax the system. I can't imagine it being a whole lot, but I can see if you have enough classes in use at the same time, it would add up. In my other, non-gaming, applications (both web and window) I make a strong practice out of never exposing members to the outside world unless it is done via a property, but I noticed that the SpaceWars demo either doesn't do that at all or does it very infrequently. I also remember the GarageGames guys at GameFest, I believe it was the ...Show All

• Visual C# Help required to solve circular dependency problem in vb2005

  I am working on an application design that requires two projects to cross reference each other. I found the excellent Formfactory / Interface example/solution (listed below) on this forum. Unfortunately I am not C# literate. I understand and appreciate the method, but my attempt to convert it into vb2005.net has been defeated by the C# syntax. I would greatly appreciate someone (multilingual) providing a translation into vb2005.net Here is the C# solution: The pattern to solve this is abstract class factory , together with the singleton pattern. What you have to do is the make a classfactory for the forms . This classfactory you can place in your main program, which anyway MUST reference your assemblies, thus it w ...Show All
