Hi to All

I am trying to make an set up project in VB.net 2005. I have no idea about Set up and deployment.
Could anyone please tell me the important and necessary basic steps/settings to be made in Set Up and deployment project, in order to deploy a project.

Two important things I want to discuss that.
1. I have Crystal Reports
2. I included 2 COM components

So what are the settings to be made for the same.Please help

Thanks in advance

There's tons of examples out there. You take those examples, learn the basic techniques from them, then modify or rewrite the examples to fit your needs.
try Google search for Setup & deployment VB.NET[^]

Thanks,
But could you please tell me about the COM components I have talked about?
I Wanted to know after addidng these components (VLC player and WMP), is it necessary that the installed system should install the players, or not necessary

thanks

I think, you can copy the COM component reference in Debug/Release folder of your project directory and after that when you create setup, include this references.

when you add COM component, a references is added to your application. Navigate Menu Project--->Properties --->References Tab
This tab show all the references which is used by your application.Select appropriate COM COmponent Refrences and then from Properties choose 'Copy Local' to TRUE

hope this helps

thanks a lot...

one more thing i wanted to confirm is what is copy to local means? It copies the dll to application or what?

And I can see the option "imported namespaces" too with so many checkboxes down... What am I supposed to do that for deploying purpose?

Thanks in advance

Hi All
I need help on Imagelist

Is the ImageList.Image restricted to 32 images?
I had a imagelist with 36 images,
In my code I put
button.imageindex = 36
it always display index 31 image.

Can we put 2 Imagelist (different name) on a single form
I had 2 buttons on the form, each pointing to different image list
it does display correct image in the editor, but when I run it
both displaying the same image from one of the imagelist
I do not have any code for the button

I am using Vb.Net 2005 .net2.0 framework
Thanks
