Do you get any error messages?? "It won't run" doesn't give us anything to go on...
As speculation... Did you copy EVERYTHING from the Release fodler of your app to the other machine, or just the .EXE??
|
|
|
|

Sorry. No error messages, just no go. Nothing happens at all. The other machine is using the 'built' release version which you install with an installer. He has the very latest version.
Also, if I unregister the DLL, I can break it on my machine.

I added a student to the database when in debug mode, but when I exit out of debug mode and then go back into debug mode the new student record is not there.
Do you know why? Do I need to commit the changes to the database? I am using acceptChanges.
I also add lesson information for the student. When I try to add the lesson information it doesn't even add to the database. Why does the student add but not the lesson?
When I used a message box to display the lesson info it displayed.
Here is my code to add the student.
addRow = lpDataSet.tbl_students.Newtbl_studentsRow()
addRow("stud_name") = txtStudentName.Text
addRow("stud_par_name") = txtParentName.Text
addRow("stud_add") = txtStudAdd.Text
addRow("stud_unit_num") = txtAptNum.Text
addRow("stud_city") = txtCity.Text
addRow("stud_state") = txtState.Text
addRow("stud_zip") = Convert.ToInt32(txtZip.Text)
addRow("stud_email") = txtEmail.Text
addRow("stud_cell") = txtStudCell.Text
addRow("stud_phone") = txtStudPhone.Text
addRow("stud_status") = intStudStat
lpDataSet.tbl_students.Rows.Add(addRow)
studTableAdapter.Update(addRow)
lpDataSet.Tables("tbl_students").AcceptChanges()
Here is the code to add the lesson.
addRow = lpDataSet.tbl_lessons.Newtbl_lessonsRow()
addRow("less_instrument") = txtInstrument.Text
addRow("stud_id") = Convert.ToInt32(cboSelectStudent.SelectedValue)
addRow("less_start_date") = Convert.ToDateTime(dtpStartDate.Text)
addRow("less_end_date") = Convert.ToDateTime(dtpEndDate.Text)
addRow("less_time") = Convert.ToDateTime(lvwItem.SubItems(1).Text)
addRow("less_day") = intDay
addRow("teach_id") = Convert.ToInt32(cboSelectTeacher.SelectedValue)
addRow("less_status") = intLessStat
lpDataSet.tbl_lessons.Rows.Add(addRow)
lessonTableAdapter.Update(addRow)
lpDataSet.Tables("tbl_lessons").AcceptChanges()

You're using an Access database as the datastore, correct?
In your project, under the Solution Explorer, you should find your .MDB file somewhere. Click on it and, in the Properties window, you should find an option called "Copy to Output Directory". If this is set to "Copy always", Visual Studio is copying your test database to the Debug or Release folder every time you run your app. This copy is what your code is modifying. The next time you to run your app, the original database file you created is copied to the Debug or Release folder again, overwriting anny changes your code made during the previous run.

I have a list view and when the user selects an item in the list view there is a combo box that has a list of teacher names in it. I am trying to pre select a teacher name when the user click on the item in the list view, but the teacher name is not changing when the user clicks on the item in the list view. I hard coded a selectedValue which is the teacher id to see if the teacher name would change in the combo box and it did.
Here is my code. Why is this happening?
Private Sub lvwSelectLess_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles lvwSelectLess.MouseDown
grpBxLessonInfo.Visible = True
Dim dt As New DataTable()
Dim lvwItems As New ListViewItem()
Dim selection As ListViewItem = lvwSelectLess.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)
If (selection IsNot Nothing) Then
MsgBox(selection.SubItems(4).Text)
cboSelectTeacher.SelectedItem = selection.SubItems(4).Text ' this si the line of code to set a pre selected item in the combo box.
txtInstrument.Text = selection.SubItems(3).Text
lblStartDate.Text = selection.SubItems(5).Text
dtpEndDate.Text = selection.SubItems(6).Text
End If
End Sub

By setting the Text property of the ComboBox, you're not actually selecting anything. All you're doing is putting text in a TextBox control. To select the item, you have to call the FindString method of the ComboBox to find the text of the item you're looking for. This will return the index of the first item that matches that string. It'll return -1 if the item is not found. Then you can set the SelectedIndex property of the ComboBox to select the item.

I am trying to modify an XML node, such as the following example:
<url>http://www.codeproject.com
I have created a System.Xml.Xmldocument, and traversed the file using Xml.Xmlnodelist, Xml.Xmlelement and Xml.Xmlnode and want to replace some text.
I do this by using the InnerText property of the XmlNode and then call the following method:
XmlDocument.WriteTo(XMLTextWriter)
...where XMLTextWriter is the same file opened with the XMLDocument, which throws a file in use error.
Is there any way that I can modify the XMLDocument whilst it is still loaded in memory?

Have you tried the Save method of the XmlDocument class??
|
|
|
|
|
Using XmlDocument.Save throws the same error - file is in use by another process
|
|
|
|
|
What does the code look like that's loading the XML document?? Save and WriteTo both work on a document that's been loaded by XmlDocument.LoadXml, so this has to be caused by some other reader or permissions issue.

Right now, the code is:
Dim CurDir As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory() & "\globalConfig.xml"
Try
Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(CurDir)
Dim globalConfig As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument()
globalConfig.Load(CurDir)
Dim buildingList As Xml.XmlNodeList
Dim root As Xml.XmlElement = globalConfig.DocumentElement
buildingList = root.SelectNodes("/config/buildings/name")
Dim info As Xml.XmlNode
' xml text writer - used for writing for xml document
For Each info In buildingList
If info.InnerText = buildingName Then
info.NextSibling.InnerText = resource
End If
Next
globalConfig.WriteTo(CurDir)
[...]
I shall using XmlDocument.LoadXML...

OK. We'll start with line number 1:
CocaColaBoy wrote: Dim CurDir As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory() & "\globalConfig.xml"
Bad idea. CurrentDirectory is NOT a static directory. Annyone who's ever just thrown around an OpenFileDialog knows that the current directory can change at any time. A more proper method is to use a well-known folder that doesn't change, like Application.StartupPath. Also, don't use string concatenation to build paths, use something that's designed for the task:
Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "globalConfig.xml")
CocaColaBoy wrote: Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(CurDir)
Dim globalConfig As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument()
globalConfig.Load(CurDir)
Dim buildingList As Xml.XmlNodeList
...
Yikes. You're opening a file on the first line of this section, but never using it, nor ever CLOSING it either. This is where your problem originated from. Then, in the next line, you're using the XmlDocument.Load method to grab the contents of the .xml file. You can have two processes (or the same process in this case) both read the same file at the same time, but writing to an already open file usually requires exclusive access to the file. In your case, you've guaranteed that exclusive access is impossible by putting creating the StreamReader instance at the top of your code.

I'm guessing I've headed in the wrong direction? Hmmm... not a good start.
The purpose of using Environment.CurrentDirectory is that the location of this application will vary somewhat. Would:
Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "globalConfig.xml")
...achieve the same thing?
Basically I am trying to update an XML document that is opened in:
Dim globalConfig As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument()
globalConfig.Load(CurDir)
...and, yeah, now you point this out, filePath would definitely been a much better name!
I guess my next question would be: how do I open an XML file for exclusive access? Would this allow for read/write access. I'm guessing so?

OK... so I now have working what I wanted in the first place... and I want to thank you for your help.
Anyhow, for reference purposes, here is the working code:
Public Function setBuildingInfo(ByVal buildingName As String, ByVal resource As String) As String
' create and open XML document
Dim CurDir As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory() & "\globalConfig.xml"
Try
'Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(CurDir)
Dim globalConfig As Xml.XmlDocument = New Xml.XmlDocument()
globalConfig.Load(CurDir)
Dim buildingList As Xml.XmlNodeList
Dim root As Xml.XmlElement = globalConfig.DocumentElement
buildingList = root.SelectNodes("/config/buildings/name")
Dim info As Xml.XmlNode
' xml text writer - used for writing for xml document
For Each info In buildingList
If info.InnerText = buildingName Then
info.NextSibling.InnerText = resource
End If
Next
Dim writeDocument As Xml.XmlTextWriter = New Xml.XmlTextWriter("globalConfig.xml", _
System.Text.Encoding.Unicode)
globalConfig.WriteTo(writeDocument)
writeDocument.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(Err.Description())
End Try
End Function
Where buildingName is what is being searched for in the document and resource is the replacement text!

They invented a couple of things called documentation and Google, so you can come up with
all the questions you want, and have a pretty good chance of finding the answers yourself
in a matter of minutes.
Have a look at the File.Open Method (String, FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare)

The problem with using CurrentDirectory is that the current directory can change during the execution of your app. Application.StartupPath always points to the folder your .EXE was launched from.
CocaColaBoy wrote: I guess my next question would be: how do I open an XML file for exclusive access? Would this allow for read/write access. I'm guessing so?
XmlDocument.Load only opens the file for shared read, share deny write, for as long as it needs to read the entire file. When the document is done loading, the file is closed.
If you wanted to retain an exlusive (basically share deny all) lock on the file, you'd have to open it using a FileStream instance. FileStream lets you specify a shared access setup when you create the filestream instance. You could then pass that stream the the XmlDocument.Load method to laod the document. Just remember to Seek the filestream back to position 0 before you try to write the XML back to the file, and, of course, close the filestream when your done.

I'm wondering which account to run my vb.net windows service under to allow it access to a server. I assume it's "user" but cant test it at the minute. Is there another way to allow this?
|
|
|
|
|
You have to use a user account that has access permissions to the network. There's no way around this. An application or service runs AS the user that launched it. Whatever permissions the user account has, that's what the application gets access to.

I have a form with a combobox and a datagrid. When a selection is made in the combobox the datagrid populates based on the fk databinding. The combobox is binding to the name cell of the parent table so that the user can see what parent row he is on. My problem is that the combobox initially fills with the correct values, but when I move on to the second item in the list all of the names in the combobox become the name for index #1. The combobox grid still populates correctly but the combo box is showing the wrong names. So for instance if item #1 is Jill, and #2 is Tom, at first the combobox drop says Jill and Tom, but if I move down to Tom the datagrid populates with tom's related data but now the combobox will show Jill twice. If I now move to Jill #2, Tom's data populate below.
Thanks in advance for your help.

From your description, there shouldn't be any updates to the combobox at all. Are you binding the combo to the same table that's being shown in the datagrid?? Ideally, in a scalable solution, the combo should be bound to a table that only has the ID and name you're showing in the combo itself. Upon a selection, you should be retrieving the data to be shown in the datagrid into a seperate table and binding the grid to that.
Without seeing the code that set's up the datatables and bindings and the selection changed event of the combo, it's impossible to say what the problem is.

I am using the designer to handle most of the work but the setup is basically as you described...
tblWebsites
Columns:
Website ID Site_Name
tblProducts
Columns:
SKU WebsiteID ProductName
In designer I set the combobox datasource to WebSiteBindingSource and its display member to site_name. The datagrid's datasource is fkNicheProductsNicheSites. The problem occurs when I select site #2. The datagrid populates properly and then when I go back to the combobox site #1's name becomes the name for site # 2. However, when the first site is selected, even though it displays site #2's name, the grid fills with site #1's data (Implying it is on the correct row.) Like you said, I can't understand why the name value is changing.
