I am new to C# & .Net.
I have an application that have some .exe files. It used to execute with the help of some Dll's. .exe files used to execute only if these dlls and exe files are in the same folder.
The problem is that when i am trying to create a window installer for my application, it used to create all dlls and exe files in program(start) menu. whereas i just wants to have the exe in the program menu, not the dll's. For e.g if we use the setup of winamp or any other application, on clicking the setup, it installs and only exe will be there in the program menu. No supporting files will be there.
hope it may give you an idea of what am i trying to ask....
thanks in advance

Have you looked at Advanced Installer[^]? The basic version also happens to be free and works fine for me.

The free version of advanced installer works fine for me, but have you looked at the "setup" project type in visual studio?
You need to add a setup project to your solution.
Then you tell it where to install the files (exe, dll) to, then you create "shortcuts" to the exe file(s) in the "start-menu" part.
When you run the setup, it places the files in the folder, and the shortcuts to the files in the start menu.
As I remember it's not too easy to use, but using drag & drop and right click you should be able to use it of.
VS2005 has a "Setup Wizard Progect" to help you. - File > New Project > Other Project Types > Setup & Deployment.

Thanks again. your reply gave me a way to start.
1 more problem is there. Inside the Desktop and Program menu folder, i have created 2 shortcut for 2 diff exe's. Those 2 exe's have 2 different icons, but with same name. So, when i used to install the setup.exe. it used to create shortcut for the 2 exe's with their icons. In addition to that 1 more icon used to get added in the program menu.
In total there are 4 files in my desktop folder.
2 are exe's and 2 are icon files.
Thanks in advance.

Could you not set the exe icon property (in the application settings - not part of the setup) to use the specific icon? Then you would not need to include the icon file as part of your setup.
Just a thought.

for (i=0; i < ...) {
btnArr[i].Click += new System.EventHandler(NameOfYourClickHandler);
btnArr[i].Tag = i;
}
Then declare a function called NameOfYourClickHandler:
public void NameOfYourClickHandler(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
MessageBox.Show(((System.Windows.Button)sender).Tag.ToString());
}

Hi all,
Is there a way to say Process.Start("THEFile") and say with what program to open it in?

Process oProcess = new Process();
oProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "D:\\Temp\\MyFile.txt";
oProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad.exe";
oProcess.Start();

Hi, Thank you... I will try your way in a moment.
I have come across this... Process.Start("excel.exe", Convert.ToString(Path) + "\\" + Convert.ToString(FileName) + ".xml")
I get an error saying 'c:\program.xls' not found....
BUT the file i want to open is a xml file....
i think it reads the path up to the first space and then continues...
The Variables Values are:
Path = @"c:\Program files\Reports"
FileName = "CL"
Please help

Process.Start("excel.exe", cQuote + Path + "\\" + FileName + ".xml" + cQuote);

I've created Resource.resx, which has some images. The resources are named as Res1, Res2, Res3 etc.
I'm dynamically creating some PictureBoxes, using this function:
public PictureBox AddNewPicBox(int n)
{
Create a new instance of the PictureBox class.
PictureBox picBoxLine = new PictureBox();
this.Controls.Add(picBoxLine);
picBoxLine.Width = 25;
picBoxLine.Left = (n-1) * 25;
picBoxLine.Top = 1;
picBoxLine.Tag = n;
}
In this function, I want to set the Image property of the newly created PictureBox depending on parameter n.
For eg. if n = 1, I want
picBoxLine.Image = ResourcesImages.Res1;
When n=2,
I want
picBoxLine.Image = ResourcesImages.Res2;
Any idea how to do this?

ResourceManager res = new ResourceManager("MyResourceProject.Properties.Resources", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
picBoxLine.Image = (System.Drawing.Image) res.GetObject("Res" + n.ToString());

Hi
I am using static binding i.e the use of dll of MS OUTLOOK 2003 in my Windows application to extract FROM,TO,CC,BCC,MESSAGE email addresses and their names etc. and store it into an MS ACCESS database. The module is working fine in my machine and also in client machines, but some of the clients are complaining that they are getting the error at the time of running the module. They are also using MS Office Outlook 2003. They are getting the error when try to run the application.
The error is like this:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found.
I think sometimes CLR fails to load unmanaged dll of OUTLOOK. I have tried by using most of things but till now there is no success. All the dlls are present in applications root folder.
Is there any idea?
regards

Elena,
Try the utility FUSLOGVW.exe. Enable tracing and try again. It should tell you in which directories the module was looked for and what happened. It may help you in diagnosing the problem.

Dear friends, consider the following 'dirty' html code:
<P> </P> <P> </P> <P>[BodyStart]</P> <P>Soccer is our national game</P> <P>[BodyEnd]</P> <TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width="100%" border=1> <TBODY> <TR> <TD>[PT_FName]</TD> <TD></TD> <TD></TD></TR> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD></TD> <T
In the above html code, there is a special tag [BodyStart] and [BodyEnd]. I want to extract this tag from the html. Moreover, i also want to extract the text written inside this tag. How can i do so in C#
