Is it possible to build your application so that a referenced .dll file is merged with the .exe? I have used a component in my project which states I may not include the component as a .dll file when I release my program.
If this cannot be done, what is the way to use a component without including the dll file as a separate component?
Thanks.

There's normally a reason why you can't include the DLL when you release your program. It's generally called the License agreement.

Sorry kinda new to this, so if i use a component from a third party .dll file, how do i build the program without including the dll file, and still have it run correctly?

If their license prohibits you from redistributing it you can't, or you require that all the people who use your application must buy the component. That's probably not going to fly.
Alternatively, use a component that does what you want that you can redistribute.
Which component is it?

It's the free GraphicsServer.NET graphing component which came as a registered benefit from registering Visual Studio Express.
Here's the important part of the EULA for reference
"Your license rights include the right to perform this compilation and to distribute User Applications, provided (a) you do not distribute the source code for the User Application,(b) you do not distribute, bundle, wrap or subclass the Software, and as a component, which, when used in a Design Time development environment exposes the programmatic interface of the Software,"
So is my only option to find another component (ie. opensource)?
Thanks

That section of the license agreement looks as though it states that you cannot wrap this component up and present it as your own. It looks as though you should be able to redistribute the component as part of your program (but check this with a lawyer first).

Thanks, I'll have to ask someone with more legal know-how than myself.
The reason i believe it prevents me from redistributing the dll, is because of the following bolded lines. If i included the dll file, it could still be in development i believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
(b) you do not distribute, bundle, wrap or subclass the Software, and as a component, which, when used in a Design Time development environment exposes the programmatic interface of the Software,"

See my answer above. I believe that the issue here is about wrapping the component and representing it as your own.

Guys,
I'm having a bunch of insertstatements that are generated by code like following:
INSERT INTO ACTION_SELF (ACTION_ID,ACTION,TELEPHONE,CURENT) VALUES ('MYINSTR4','ct: Sleep','011295670','T');
The four columns are from a mdb file and are defined as text.
I have tested with three tables from which this is the simplest of design and the other two insert fine!
moreover, this query succeeds if I open up Access and execute it there and also if I fire it to an oracle db via my code.
the error message says: "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement."
Anybody any idea what's going wrong? I checked the column size, removed the ";", ..., but I can't find the error?
Many thanks!
V.
No hurries, no worries!

I think it's got something to do with data types, what are the data types of your columns??
|
|
|
|
|
System.String so it should be allright

I think he means the columns in the database

Hi,
hard to say. You could check two things:
1. Are you sure you mean CURENT and not CURRENT?
2. Probably one of your column names is a special keyword. Try the following:
INSERT INTO ACTION_SELF ("ACTION_ID","ACTION","TELEPHONE","CURENT") VALUES ('MYINSTR4','ct: Sleep','011295670','T');

ACTION was a keyword. Stupid me, I already renamed the table to ACTION_SELF because I thought ACTIONS was a keyword, than I forget to check the columns... 
thanks it works now...
|

Yes, ACTION is a reserved keyword in JET4 (OLEDB) and ODBC, but not in the database itself.

horrible, and I tried to do [TABLENAME].[ACTION], but I couldn't fool it like that  .
I guess I'll just have to rename it .
Anyway, now I know what's going wrong .

Open the statement in Query Analyzer or whatever else you use.
Remove columns in the statement until you locate the problem item (you may have to let nulls be placed in field temporarily).

Hi all
I'm not able to use the ConfigurationManager class.
Each time I try to access to Application Settings I receive an exception.
In my App.config file I have
<!--General Settings--><br />
<appsettings><br />
<add key = "Author" value = "manustone" /><br />
</appsettings><br />
inside <configuration></configuration>.
I added a reference to System.Configuration.dll
When in my code i use
<br />
string strAuthor = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Author"];<br />
I've got an exception.
Do you know where is the problem?
Regards
Manu Stone

What's the exception...
I don't know if this solves your problem...
change appsettings to appSettings in your app.config
remove the spaces after the key and value attributes
<br />
<add key = "Author" value = "manustone" /><br />
to
<br />
<add key="Author" value="manustone" /><br />
The rest looks fine to me... it those steps above don't work, we might require the exception message thrown...

Do you get this error : "Unrecognized configuration section appsettings" ? if you do then change appsettings to appSettings as advised earlier , otherwise supply us with the exception you are getting.
