Dependencies... DLLs... Deployment...

You would have to search for a list of machine or user names using the System.DirectoryServices namespace. You'll be using teh DirectorySearcher and DirectoryEntry to return a list of entires and the details on each entry.

For the docs, start here on MSDN[^].

If I use a reference to a DLL in my vb6 app, the PDW finds it out and adds it to the Setup.exe or something like that.

In VB.net, I found out that we can create a deployment project manually.;)

Does it in any way find out the dependencies automatically? If not, how do we know on what files our application is dependent on? If we know can we add the dependencies...

For Example: If i refer to bitmaps and other files on my PC in my vb.net app, how do I use the Deployment Project to put the pieces together for deployment? Confused | :confused:

I am sorry I may keep you busy for SOME time!

It does find the dependancies, but not always. Any project that you add manually, you have to supply the dependancies for. This is for dependant .DLL's and .OCX files ONLY! Bitmaps will NOT be included automatically.

If you have files that you need to add, like .BMP's, .JPG's, ..., just open the setup project's 'File System on Target Machine' folder, then the 'Application Folder' on the left pane, and drag and drop the files and folders you need into the right pane. This will put the files and folders into your applications Program Files folder.

Form1 Refuses to unlolad

Re: Form1 Refuses to unlolad

5-Jun-04 18:02

I know that sounds really stupid. all you are supposed to do is type:

Unload me

And it will unload. Well I have done that but the timers on that form keep going and lead to the ultimate glitch in my program... HELP ME PLEASE! I have asked for assistance from my Computers teacher and he is stumped.

By any chance, is Form1 the only form in your project? Maybe that is it... Confused | :confused:

Sad to say. Its not my only level, I have 20 forms for levels in my game, 6 minigames, and about 8 other ones.

Make sure the timers are stopped before you unload the form.

Timer1.Enabled = False

That does not seem to work I have about 12 timers 1 is causing me problems..

If world(charlc).Tag = "testchar" Then
MsgBox ("You beat the level!")
isenemyshooting.Enabled = False
leveltime.Enabled = False
bullet.Enabled = False
enemy.Enabled = False
enemyshooter.Enabled = False
score = score + Timerlevel
scores.Caption = score
Timerlevel = -1
greencircles.Caption = Life
level2.Show
level1.Hide
Unload Me
End If

All of my timers have been disabled. So im Completely confused. Help me please! (NOTE: THIS IS UNDER the Leveltime timer.)

If your form unloads then mysteriously reloads itself, it's because something has a reference to it, like a timer you forgot about (Tick callback), or another piece of code in another form is calling a method on your form.

Yeah, Thanks alot again. I found out that an every other form it was referencing back to it to change its background color! well With that stupid mistake behind me. I can finish my game, thank you very much Dave.

Barcodes

Hey,

Does anyone know if or how to go about generating a barcode to print out to be scanned by a scanner for tracking purpases. I want to be able to print a barcode onto an order information sheet, but can't seem to figure out how to go about it. If someone could help me on this I'd really appreciate it. Confused | :confused:

Thanks

Re: Barcodes

Dave Kreskowiak6-Jun-04 9:17

6-Jun-04 9:17

First, you have to know what format of barcode you want to print out. No, they are not all of the same. Are you looking at '2of5', '3of9', 'Code128', ...

There are articles here on CodeProject, all you have to do is search the articles for 'barcode'.

Runtime Error 481

Ok I'm Still tweaking my game, Fixing up this and that, adding Beeps here and there, Also im trying to add a Transparency with Paintpicture command. What happens is it gives me the ridiculous error of "invalid picture." How is a Picture invalid? I tryed the same code in a blank project and it works. but when there is tiles, it does not work at all. Can someone explain to me what Error 481 is and how i could get around this?

Thanks Alot

Re: Runtime Error 481

Dave Kreskowiak6-Jun-04 9:14

6-Jun-04 9:14

There isn't much we can do unless you supply the code that is failing. What type of picture are you trying to paint (.GIF, .JPG, .BMP)? What the controls are that are involved, like PictureBox, ImageList, ... The ridiculous little error CAN occur because there are controls and methods that don't support transparency...

text to speech in .net

I have a direct speech control named tts.
I can get the voices and select one of them
but I cannot here the voice. All the time the default one
¿any help for Visual basic .net?

For ing As Integer = 1 To tts.CountEngines
Combo1.Items.Add(tts.ModeName(ing))
Next
' I select Adult Female #1, American English (TruVoice)
Combo1.SelectedIndex = 8
Combo1.Text = Combo1.SelectedItem
' what else to get the voice speaking the following?
tts.Speak("hello")

Dave Kreskowiak5-Jun-04 10:53

5-Jun-04 10:53

Where did this TTS control come from? Was it from the Speech .NET Beta SDK's? Was it the Speech Application SDK? What version are you using? What version of the .NET Framework are you using?

Without knowing this, it's impossible to tell you what's going wrong...

I have the Speech SDK 5.1 and I suppose this control comes with this because when I download it over the form, the name is:
in the forms controls:TextToSpeech Class
and when dropped over the form, the name is
AxTexToSpeech1 AxHTTSLib.AxTextToSpeech

Thanks

Dave Kreskowiak6-Jun-04 9:41

That thing is 3 years old! Speech SDK 5.1 was replaced by the Speech Application SDK and soon to be released Speech.NET.

I don't have any idea what the problem could be. As far as I can remember, and find, the 5.1 SDK came with 2 voices, 1 Male and 1 Female.

From the object names that you've given, your using the ActiveX control version of the TTS engine. You might want to go back to the samples and try the methods spelled out in there so you don't have to use the ActiveX version.

Thanks.I was my first approach to TTS so I went into microsoft web and download what I thought was up to date. I will wait for Speech.Net to start my approach to TTS.
Thanks a lot.

(as marisolera)
I found the answer.As I have only the visual basic .net for students and not the full visual studio, I cannot implement other speech programs than Speech SDK 5.1. This program comes with 4 voices (Mike,Sam,Mary and a predefined one).
I will use all this four and that's o.k. for the moment, even when my project needs between 20 and 30.
