Hello,
My customer wants to be able to update the program and download only the updates from the server.
The customer wants to install the application and then download updates when they are available. And install them without having to reinstall the program.
I started using the clickonce which works ok for this situation. However, the customer did not like this as it always installs in the default documents and setting directory, and the updates that are downloaded as the same size as the initial program size. As the updates are only small the customer only wants to download those updates so it will be quick to download and quick to install.
Is there another method to be able to do this, maybe some free third party, or can you configure the MSI to do this.
The customer would like something like norton anti-virus where only the updates are installed only.
Many thanks in advance,
Steve

Well it really all depends on what your application does. If you have to re-write code blocks & recompile your app then a re-install is the way to go. Remember that anti-virus products more often than not download updates to the virus definition library which is not hard-coded into the app itself but rather a resource that the app makes use of.
What is it that needs to be updated in your app? Is it a resource? If so then, yes, I think you could give your customer what he wants.

Hello,
I am creating a PDA application using the CF 2.0 that will use a datagrid and will display time in one of the columns. The column is called "ScheduledTime" and in the sql server 2005 database the datatype is datetime.
I would like to format the time to display e.g. 21:45 24hr format.
I think the datagrid is very limited when using the CF for mobile applications as the property "format" doesn't exist for this. See my code below.
I am wondering is there another way to format time in a datagrid column using the CF 2.0.
<vbcode>Me.grdSupportContracts.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
Dim dgtbc As DataGridTextBoxColumn
dgtbc = CType(Me.grdSupportContracts.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(3), DataGridTextBoxColumn)
dgtbc.Format 'Doesn't have the format property
Many thanks in advance,
Steve

Why not ? You're asking 'how do I do things the hard and slow way' ?
you can iterate over your collection and knock out the items you don't want. There's no other way I can think of, filtering with SQL is supported on the code end as well as on the DB, but you don't want to use SQL for some strange reason.

I want to make a simple dictionary application that read the source from a delimited file, like using tab or comma and then store it into an array. I've tried using snippets, but it isn't working and doesn't look like what I want.

OK
when you use
Textbox1.Enaled = False
that will change the Font color and the back color of the textbox
I want to prevent writing in textbox without changing the font color or the back color

What do you mean? i don't understand it, please explain it more spesific.

I can't really understand your question, but you might try TextBox.Enabled = False.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

Handle the keypress event of your textbox. If you've turned off input, then set ea.Handled = true in the event, this rejects all keypresses.
The user interface you're designing is quite user hostile. Windows shows a textbox differently if it won't work for a reason.

Ok then, if you want to do so, these are the way:
- set the accepttab property of the textbox into False.
- And also set the acceptreturn property into false, too
- Add a code that move the focus into another control, like a cancel button when user click on the textbox.
PS: You can't avoid backcolor and forecolor of the textbox changed while the control is disabled. If you don't want it, so don't disable the textbox.

I haven't used VB6 in about 6 years. It's a dead language, no longer supported by Microsoft.

Helo there. I just download the code which says developing simple word processor and try to run. But I couldn't. what should I do. Please help.

Have you check the code? there are maybe some mistyped word or the code version are not same as your compiler. If it's a vb 6.0 code and you use vb2005 you can upgrade the code using upgrade tool.

|
|
|
|
With your lack of a description of the problem, it's impossible to tell you whats wrong.
Go to where you downloaded the code from and see if there is a forum or some other means to contact whoever wrote the code.

I don't understand what your problem is. What is it you are having a problem with? My only advise is that you should use ISO format dates because there are culture neutral.
