The way it's done really depends on the Installer package you use.
|
|
|
|
|
I m using the msi of .net application and trying to install it using execmsi (Windows Installer). Please suggest solution for my requirement.
|
|
|
|

This really isn't something you should be doing within the package (as the "using c# code seems to imply"). If you create an MSI, quiet installs are possible
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8560166/silent-installation-of-a-msi-package[^] from the command line, give the deployer the option to install unattended. Remember, it is their machine, not yours.

yes I want to install msi package using another installer application. I am able to install it with quiet mode but not finding any solution for installing it in different drive other than window drive (default drive). so need solution for this requirement. Please help...
|
|
|

Oh boy, haven't you ever done an installation via commandline?
Try this in a Console ("DOS") Window (running elevated!):
msiexec /i "%SOURCE%" /quiet /passive ALLUSERS=1 TARGETDIR="%TARGET%" /l*v "%LOGFILE%"
Replace %SOURCE% with your source package (C:\....\yourpackage.msi),
%TARGET% with the installation target (E:\SomeFolder), and
%LOGFILE% with the place where you want to see the installation logs (C:\Temp\install.log).
When you got it working, call that command from your C# application.

Okay, first off i would like to say i have already looked this question over myself before asking, with that being said i get errors as an outcome.
I'm trying to convert a (open source) library to a portable class library so i can use the library in my Windows 8 App Development since Windows 8 App Development doesn't support Class Library's. The problem is for some reason i get errors like this:
http://prntscr.com/3wlw2a[^]
...And YES, i do have "using System.Runtime.InteropServices;" at the top.
http://prntscr.com/3wlwp5[^]
http://prntscr.com/3wlww2[^]
For anyone wondering, I'm trying to convert this: https://ps3lib.codeplex.com/releases/view/108287[^]

You get this error because a Portable Class Library does not support DllImport. When you think about it, you can see why this would be the case - the whole point of PCLs is that they can be used across platforms, but what you are trying to do is very much platform specific, you don't get the same DLLs on a Windows Phone that you do on a Windows desktop box.
|
|
|
|

Okay thanks for the response!  But even without DllImport, would it still be possible to go about it a different way? -I feel so close, but yet so far away.
Also, (if it came down to it) couldn't I just go about it by P-Invoking it through the default class library (.dll) through the WIN8 Application i'm making?

Looking at the fact you're trying to do marshalling as well as importing DLLs, I don't see how you're easily going to achieve this. What you might have to do is drop down from your PCL into a platform specific part here.

Well, thank you for trying to help... Really i appreciate it, but i figured out a workaround without needing to convert the source to a portable library. Thanks.
[(KINDA) SOLVED]
(KINDA) Solution:
What i did...
I used the source from PS3Lib and put all of the classes in my Windows 8 Application, took out all references regarding TMAPI/TMAPI.dll/TMAPI_NET.cs entirely. CCAPI ONLY Compatible PS3Lib (Which is okay, as portable apps assentially wouldn't be able to execute ProDG TargetManager or the ProDebugger on they're phone.), CCAPI.dll only calls.
Since the Portable Class Library doesn't support use of [DllImport("PS3Lib.dll")]/etc, and import/use of CCAPI.dll the Windows 8 Application (C#/XAML) itself does... kinda a loophole in a way... Instead of converting a class-library to a portable-class-library for my APP i put the library within it manually with the classes(.cs) and the removal of TMAPI.
P.S. I still think TMAPI would be possible for [WINDOWS 8 APPS ONLY], but i don't really care to mess around too much with it as i don't see it going anywhere as CCAPI.dll & PS3Lib.dll will be more realistic.
Again thanks for all your help Pete O'Hanlon.
P.P.S. Like i said this is KINDA solved, it fixed my issue by going about programming it a different way, but still isn't THE solution if you know what i mean.

Never post your email address in any forum, unless you really like spam! If anyone replies to you, you will receive an email to let you know.
And as for the task:
Start by specifying what you want to do.
Then design your system to the specification.
Create your DB and populate with sample data.
Code your design.
Test.
Repeat from the appropriate stage above until it works.

And don't post a phone number either. That's even more stupid than posting your email address in a public forum. You realize you just posted your phone number so that billions of people can now see it, correct? That includes anyone who wants to call you up and sell you penis enlargement pills.

Try adding the Customers, calling SaveChanges on the context, then add the Companies.
|
|
|
|
|
Company company1 = new Company();
company1.CompanyId = 1;
company1.Name = "abc";
company1.Email = "abc@hotmail.com";
company1.Address = "xyz street";
company1.City = cityState[0];
company1.State = sortedStates.Where(state => state.Abbreviation == cityState[1]).SingleOrDefault();
company1.StateId = 1;
company1.Zip = 2066;
company1.Phone = "949494848";
company1.Customers = new List<Customer>();
Customer customer1 = new Customer();
customer1.CustomerId = 1;
customer1.FirstName = "bikash";
customer1.LastName = "shrestha";
customer1.Email = "bikash@hotmail.com";
customer1.Address = "482 pacific hwy";
customer1.City = "Phoenix,AZ";
customer1.State = sortedStates.Where(state => state.Abbreviation == cityState[1]).SingleOrDefault();
customer1.StateId = 1;
customer1.Zip = 85230;
customer1.Gender = Gender.Female;
customer1.Orders = new List<Order>();
Customer customer2 = new Customer();
customer2.CustomerId = 2;
customer2.FirstName = "prakash";
customer2.LastName = "shrestha";
customer2.Email = "prakash@hotmail.com";
customer2.Address = "482 pacific hwy";
customer2.City = "Phoenix,AZ";
customer2.State = sortedStates.Where(state => state.Abbreviation == cityState[1]).SingleOrDefault();
customer2.StateId = 2;
customer2.Zip = 85231;
customer2.Gender = Gender.Male;
customer2.Orders = new List<Order>();
Order order1 = new Order();
order1.Id = 1;
order1.CustomerId = 1;
order1.Product = "apple";
order1.Date = DateTime.Today;
order1.Price = 5;
order1.Quantity = 1;
Order order2 = new Order();
order2.Id = 2;
order2.CustomerId = 1;
order1.Product = "apple";
order2.Date = DateTime.Today;
order2.Price = 5;
order2.Quantity = 1;
customer1.Orders.Add(order1);
customer2.Orders.Add(order2);
company1.Customers.Add(customer1);
company1.Customers.Add(customer2);
using (var dbCtx = new CustomerManagerContext())
{
dbCtx.Companies.Add(company1); <-- here i get same error now.
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
}
The error details:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[CustomerManager.Model.Customer]' to type 'CustomerManager.Model.Customer'.

OK, now you changed the original post so that there are order. Same problem. Create records for a single table at a time then save the changes.
Create the Companies first and save them, then add Orders and save them.
|
|
|
|
|
could you please help me?
If I first save company first it will be as below
using (var dbCtx = new CustomerManagerContext())
{
dbCtx.Companies.Add(company1);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
}
company1.Customers.Add(customer1);
company1.Customers.Add(customer2);
customer1.Orders.Add(order1);
customer2.Orders.Add(order2);
how do I now save customer1, customer2 and order1 and order2 using the context?
|
|
|
|
|
I do have a requirement for you when writing code: USE YOUR BRAIN!
Serisously? What's preventing you from putting the other creation objects in the same "using" context? NOTHING! You can call SaveChanges multiple times before disposing the CustomerManagerContext.
So, create your Customers, SaveChanges. Create your Companies, SaveChanges. Create your Orders, SaveChanges, ...
See a pattern there?
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. I did as per you mentioned but I get below error now
using (var dbCtx = new CustomerManagerContext())
{
dbCtx.Customers.Add(customer1);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
dbCtx.Customers.Add(customer2);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
dbCtx.Companies.Add(company1);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
dbCtx.Orders.Add(order1);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
dbCtx.Orders.Add(order2);
dbCtx.SaveChanges();
}
Entities in 'CustomerManagerContext.Customers' participate in the 'Customer_Companies' relationship. 0 related 'Customer_Companies_Target' were found. 1 'Customer_Companies_Target' is expected.
this is because I have below method
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>().
HasMany(c => c.Companies).
WithMany(p => p.Customers).
Map(
m =>
{
m.MapLeftKey("CustomerId");
m.MapRightKey("CompanyId");
m.ToTable("CustomerCompany");
});
modelBuilder.Entity<Company>().HasRequired(c => c.Customers).WithMany().WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>().HasRequired(c => c.Companies).WithMany().WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
sorry still learning entity framework.
|
|
|
|
|
Please remove that OnModelCreating. It's pretty broken; it would require that a customer exist before a company does, and that a company exist before a customer does....
