I'm not familiar with Lotus Notes, I just did a Google search for Lotus Notes Data Provider. I assume you could copy the example they have there and replace the provider with the .NET OleDbProvider. But maybe it's not as simple as that? Have you tried a Lotus Notes discussion forum?

Can I ask for some advice.
I am currently running Visual Studio 2002 (7.0) and have noticed that Microsoft are giving away Visual C++ Toolkit 2003.
I was trying to use mySQL++ API, but I need to upgrade to VS2003 (7.1).
So my question can I downoad this toolkit and build a VS 7.1 project?
I have looked at the documentation and I am a bit confused?
i.e. how does the VS IDE fit into this Visual C++ Toolkit 2003.

I'm creating two version of a program: A free version (myprogram) and an enhanced version (myprogram_PRO). The source code has to be released with the free version since it will be open source. Is there some way to have both programs in the same project? I can create two projects but if I make a change to one version then I have to be sure to update the other. If I have to add a dialog, for example, then it is not a simple matter to make everything match between the two. Any suggestions?

Hi Jack,
this is interesting problem. Two versions of same app is usually handled by #ifdef and things like that. Anyway, it doesn't help with open source. It could be good idea to make a tool which will remove "pro" code. I wish I had time... I think it can be useful tool. Is anything like that already done? Try google...
best regards,

I think it may be already set up to be done with .Net but I can't figure it out. I usually just add a project and go at it. This is the first time I needed something more involved. I set up a test project and added two different projects to it (the solution they call it). That would at least make copying from one file to another easier. But when I tried it on my main project, it won't let me do it since they have the same internal names. Supposedly, you can just click on Rename to have .Net rename the project but that didn't work. Although it wouldn't surprise me to find I am doing it wrong. If anyone knows how to rename a project with .Net I would appreciate the help.

I think something can be accomplished with a good source control system. They have a feature called Branching, so that you can keep the separate source for two versions of your project.
Say you have version 1.0 final, and then you start working on 2.0. If you find a big bug in 1.0, you fix it and release 1.0a. So you create a branch for updating 1.x code, while working on 2.0 (both based on 1.0) and you can merge branches, so 1.x modifications are merged into 2.0 code.
Well, it's something like that.

You could have all your Pro functionality contained in a dll that acts as a plugin to the free version

Thanks for your and Luis' suggestions. They both sound like soultions to the problem and I will look into them.

You may have bigger problems depending on the licence you use.
For example if you licence the free version using the GNU licence [^]then you also have to distribute your PRO version under the GNU licence and provide the full source code as it is using code from your free version.
If you use the BSD licence [^]you can just make sure you include the same copyright info in both versions.

Hmm, Thanks for mentioning this - I wasn't aware of it. I'm not sure if the BSD license is acceptable by the place I am submitting it to. In the event it is not, is it OK to have the free version, say "MyProgram," and then a non-free version but call it "My Other Program." And then mention in the description for My Other Program that it does everything My Program does and more. How do others get around this? I see free and non-free versions all of the time on various web sites.

It was something I came across with the GNU license, which many people use for open source development. Where I work we had our own license drawn up by experts which covers our particular oddities. Writing your own license does solve the problem as you can say whatever you want. I have come across a number of forum posts recently that advocate the BSD license over the GNU license. For my own free stuff I just put in a "use this at your own risk" disclaimer. That way I can use it at my own risk in a non-free version and license that completely differently. The issue is more to do with making your source code available, or not, than anything else.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

 Hi there,
I have a question about deploying a vb .net application what is build up with an executable and some DLL files with shared functionality.
What I have:
A Library of DLL files with some general functionality.
An application what is using some DLL files from this library.
What I want:
Installing the application executable in de folder <program files="">\<app folder="">
Installing the DLL files and other shared files in <program files="">\common files\<base app="" folder="" />
When I place the DLL files in the same directory as the executable then the application is running fine.
As soon I place the DLL files in the common files directory he can't find the files any more.
So far I understand it.
OK first I place a registery key like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\<file.exe>
Where I place a string value "Path" with a value <program files="">\common files\<base app="" folder="" />
This is not working
In the System Environment variables I add in the %Path%
the directory <program files="">\common files\<base app="" folder="" />
This is also not working
In the Debug window I only see that the application searches only in the current directory.
LOG: Policy not being applied to reference at this time (private, custom, partial, or location-based assembly bind).
LOG: Post-policy reference: SAI.Data, Version=1.0.1783.19646, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
LOG: Attempting download of new URL file:///E:/Projects .Net/Registratie en Kalibratie Systeem/Development .NET/RCS Registration and Calibration System/RCS/bin/SAI.Data.DLL.
LOG: Attempting download of new URL file:///E:/Projects .Net/Registratie en Kalibratie Systeem/Development .NET/RCS Registration and Calibration System/RCS/bin/SAI.Data/SAI.Data.DLL.

The program '[220] RCS.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
What is going wrong here how can I solve this ?
Must I add some in the assembly file of the aplication (how to do that !)
Thanks for any help

when I placed this Thread I had no any assembly configuration.
After some searching in my .net books I found a solution to configer the assembly location.
I need to do 3 things.
1- Generate a Public token certificate with te command sn -k <key Name.snk>
2- Recompile all your public / Shared files with this assembly code
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("E:\Key.snk")>
3- Configer your application with the .NET Configuration tool.
Add the application and then Add the assemblies.
The .NET configuration tool generates a <app.exe>.config file like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="SAI.Web" publicKeyToken="a171990e83766be1" />
<codeBase version="1.2.0.0" href="file:///C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stork\Common\SAI.Web.dll" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.2.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="SAI.Data" publicKeyToken="a171990e83766be1" />
<codeBase version="1.2.0.0" href="file:///C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stork\Common\SAI.Data.dll" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0" newVersion="1.2.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
So far this Was working  , I have also tested this on a clean computer with XP Prof on it (My dev pc is also XP prof both with .Net 1.1)
Second step was to install this on the Terminal server (2003 server) we use. Installation OK but when I start the app.
I get a error message that the app can not find the assembly "Cannot find the assembly SAI.Data, Version=1.0.1766.34219, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null."
OK, The <app.exe>.config file is there. the assemblies have already a "forced" version like
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.2.0")>
Extra I added the binding redirections (see above). Checked all paths ok.
Because normally I install apps on this server under G: I reinstalled under C:\Program Files so also this paths reflects exactly the same path as the test pc. (Is not solving the problem)
Strange is that it can find the assembly for my error messages so it looks like something is wrong with only this assembly.
Maybe something in the register ?
I searched already but I can't find it !
Can I find it back as the assembly guid ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi!

Hello,
I'd like to know if it is possible to deploy native DLL (unmanaged DLL) with No-Touch Deployment ?
Thanks,
Didier

|

Yes. You can.
Suppose if you want to access components in Unmanaged environment which is developed in .NET.Then you need to keep a liitle things in mind.
1. Entry in AssemblyInfo.cs
2. Default Constructor
3. No more static methods.

Hi Experts,
(Please excuse if this is not the write forum for my query)
Well i am not a programmer which is why i would like to take your valuable suggestions. To be precise i am looking to develop an inhouse application which would do the following:
There are some documents which are required by different personnel of different departments e.g. HR, Management, Engineering, Sales etc.
I need to develop an application which would be a kind of UI and allow the people to pull out the documents according to their authentication e.g the people from Management Level may be able to pull the documents from the Management folder and the people from Sales may be able to pull the docuements from the Sales folder.
But there may be some users which should have access to all the documents like the VP, Senior Manager level or other senior levels. I can use some Database also to keep track of the users. I want that to be scalable also but what should be the base plan. What use cases can i take?
I can use IIS/Apache as server.
All the help in this regard will be higly appreciated. Any practical examples like this will help me a lot so that i can get a headstart.
Thanks

Any particular reason this couldn't just be handled using shared folders on a network server (each folder with different user permissions, depending on who's allowed to access the specific files within)

Thanks for the reply .
Yes defenitely these can be handled via the way you are suggesting, but how?. Since i am not a Windows guy may be some practilca help or pointers will be benficial for me.
I mean as i expressed all the company needs is that the users should be able to pull up some docments according to their departments and their roles from a central server which is having Win 2K Server. I need to proveid them with some sort of interface so that it may become very easy for the non technical personal also.
Thanks!!

Or by Portal Server if you need a full secure scalable online document repository and versioning control system with all the bells and whistles.
