Hi all,

I have a project that converts different files in to a PDF Document. For that i have used a third party dll(ABCPDF.DLL). The projects works fine in my PC. When i publish This as a smart client application, this works fine in machines that have ABCpdf installed. But in other machines it gives the following error
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly ABCpdf Version 5.0.2.0 be installed in the Global Assenbly Cache(GAC) first.

So i have tried in another way. In the publish tab of the project properties, there is a button application files, inside that i have changed the publish status of ABCpdf.DLL from Prerequisite to Include. Then published the application. Then also it gives error. Now the error message is
SmartPDF has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Please tell me how to solve this Problem

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

SO what other .DLL or .EXE files does this ABCPDF.DLL library depend on?? That's probably why your app is crashing.

Hi Dave,

As you said, abcPDF.dll refers MSCOREE.DLL, and this refers KERNEL32.DLL and this refers NTDLL.DLL.
Can you tell me what should i do to resolve this issue?

Thanks once agian.........

mscoree.dll is part of the .NET Framework. If the .NET Framework that the component expects isn't installed, you need to install it.

Also, you can NOT have two different versions of the .NET CLR loaded into the same process at the same time. If this component is written under 2.0, you can't use it in a .NET 1.x app.

As for anything else, you'll have to get with the manufacturer of the component for any further support on it.

how to create password and username using vb.net. i would like to save the username and password in microsoft access.. pls help with the coding....

Well, a password and a username are both strings, so I guess the easiest thing is to create a table with two columns, and make them both strings.

This is very straightforward. Like Christian said, both username and password would be strings, and stored in the database as text fields in Access. Encrypt the password using an encryption algorithm of your choice, preferably one that isn't crackable like DES...

I want to get the first char of string and want to know weather it is integer between 1-9 or char between A-B.

How can I do that.

Don't cross post. It is rude and look at the replies you got in the C# forum. Next time, pick one forum, ideally the language you are writing the code in, and stick to it.

Good day to you,
I'm just this a basic component for classDataAnalyzer. It's supposed to manage code establishing OleDb (Access) connections in Web Applications. Use this class to access what you need I guess that it'll help you get on your feet. Here's the Question for those if you choose to accept it. Suspicious | :suss:

I've trying to convert this into code at use on a windows form. I need to be able to use this code, but the configuration manager namespace was developed for use on the Web. I need your help with a proper function for building a function that will manage the configuration string in a WinForm.
Thanks

No, it wasn't. It was developed to be used in either environment. It's the configuration file that changes. There's nothing to convert. This code will work fine in a Windows Forms app, so long as you have a properly written app.config file in your project.

Did an EXE file Created Through VB.Net Runs in Network drives

24-Jul-07 12:53

So long as your app.config has a <connectionStrings> section, something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
    </configSections>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="MyAccessDBConnectionString"
            connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=...."
            providerName="System.Data.OleDb" />
    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

In your code, the connection string name would be, in this example obviously, MyAccessDBConnectionString.

hi to all

i had made an application for which no dlls is required and hence it can be runned by just copying the .exe file to the other PC. now when i try to copy the EXE file to network drives and run it from my pc it is running successfully, but when i go to another pc and run the exe file which is in network drive it is throws an error saying

"application encountered a problem,Please tell microsoft about this problem.and two buttons 'send report', 'dont send' "

my intension is to keep the exe file in the common network and distribute the shortcut of that exe files to every one, who wants to use the application.so that updation for the exe file(if occurs) can be done very easily to that exe file in network,and it will be automatically reflects to every one as all are using shortcuts. this is very clearly done by VB 6.0 and it is not able to done by VB.net.For this simple reason our company is avoiding VB.NET.

please do the need full.

Thanks & Regards

Eliminate SAVE AS dialog box

24-Jul-07 9:57

Go to MSDN and search for "Code Access Security". Any managed code running from a non-local, i.e.: network share, source is, by default, not trusted. Your application is run in a heavily restricted sandbox that has very limited permissions to system resources. Kind of like trying to your your app in a web brwoser with the securty turned up.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone of you would know how to eliminate the SAVE AS dialog box. I need to create a script that will automaticaly save file as MDI (or PDF). The name of the file will be provided as parameter to the script. Any help will be great.

Thanks,

Flavio

What "Save As" dialog?? What script?? What is this script supposed to do?? You're going to have to supply a lot more information about what you're doing. There isn't enough detail in what you've posted for anyone to help you.

Hi,

Here is the situation. I have a C++ code that generate reports and send them to the default printer. Now what I would like to do is instead of sending to print I would like to generate the report as either MDI or PDF. As you know, when you try to print to MDI printer it ask you for the name and file location(the standard Windows Save As dialog box). I have hundreds of reports to be created and I dont want to enter the name for each one of them. I would like to automatically save all the reports as MDI. The idea is to create a loop and call the VB scrip within my C++ program passing the file name as parameter.

I hope this helps explan better my situation. If not, feel free to let me know.

Thanks a lot.

Flavio
