Re: Vb.Net Win Appl Need Help for deplovment

25-Nov-08 6:57

So many options, but it depends on the complexity of your app:

If you created the app using .Net and aren't using any com objects, all you should have to do is COPY and paste your prog directory onto another client (known as XCOPY). You could also do a click once (do a google search) which forces your clients to update anytime you update your files.

If you are using interop objects, you can either set them to be isolated or shared (you need to ensure all clients have these interop .dlls and use regsvr32 to register them).

Depending on references, you may need to have redistributable setups or files as well - just depends on what your referencing.

Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

Add a new project to your solution, but choose Other Project Types --> Setup Project.

This will create an installer app for you. Give that a test run and play around with the options (desktop icons, program menu folder names, etc).

Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

I am opening an image on a picturebox using:
pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(openFileDialog1.FileName);

then i am drawing some lines and curves on the picturebox using the event:
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)

such that the painted lines and curves are drawn over the image opened on the picturebox. Now, I want to save the image containing the original image and the lines or curves drawn on the picturebox as one image. Please tell how do i do that........

Thank You

Well, the first problem you have is that you're not drawing the lines on the image. You're drawing on the surface of the picturebox control. So, everything you see appears as though you're drawing on the image when you're not.

You have to draw the lines on the bitmap you created, then you can save the changes back to the original files.

Speaking of that, you have a second problem. When you created a Bitmap object using the overload that you did, the file gets locked for the life of that Bitmap object. This means you can't save any changes back to the original file.

To get around this, you have to create a FileStream object, opening that image file, then create the Bitmap from that Stream, then closing the file. This will prevent the file from being locked so you can save the changes back to it.

Requested registry access is not allowed

25-Nov-08 3:42

Create a composite control where there is a button (or have a hotkey like a function button) to launch the common dialog control or ColorDialog - that handles opening the dialog.

Trap for when the ok button specifically is pressed and then update the backcolor on your control with the color selected by the user.

I'm getting "Requested registry access is not allowed" error while trying to open the subkey.

I'm trying to set permissions for a particular subkey using registry class.

I want to set permissions for "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\"

Currently for USBSTOR "everyone" is not added.

the code is as follows:

Imports Registry.My.Resources<br />
Imports System.Collections<br />
Imports System.ComponentModel<br />
<br />
<Assembly: PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Name:="FullTrust")> <br />
<br />
Public Class USB_Storage<br />
<br />
    Private Const reg_key_a As String = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR\"<br />
<br />
<br />
    Private Sub btnEnable_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnable.Click<br />
<br />
        Dim rk As RegistryKey = Registry.My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine<br />
<br />
        Dim user As String = "everyone"<br />
        Dim rs As New RegistrySecurity()<br />
        rs.AddAccessRule(New RegistryAccessRule(user, _<br />
           RegistryRights.WriteKey, _<br />
          InheritanceFlags.None, _<br />
         PropagationFlags.None, _<br />
         AccessControlType.Allow))<br />
<br />
        rk.OpenSubKey(reg_key_a, True).SetAccessControl(rs)<br />
<br />
    End Sub<br />
<br />
End Class<br />

Please suggest.. thanks in advance.

Unless the account that's running your code is in the Administrators group, this won't work. Users don't have write permissions to anything under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Can I do assembly binding with major, minor but not build?

I am working on an SDK. The SDK supports plug-ins. The issue I am running into is when I test a new build of the SDK, none of the Plug-ins will load. The reason they will not load is that they were developed with v2.1.5689.0 of the SDK. Since I do nightly builds of the SDK, it is now v2.1.5690.0 and the plug-in will not bind to it. I understand that they might not work if there were some interface change or such, but there typically is not. Is there a setting I can use in the plug-in project to cause it to bind to the major and minor number only in the version (OK, maybe the path as well, but definitely not the build).

Tanks for your support

System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker.BackColor

On a WinForm I'm working on I want to draw attention to two particular controls.
One is a TextBox and I can set the BackColor property.
The other is a DateTimePicker, and...

"
Setting the BackColor has no effect on the appearance of the DateTimePicker. To set the background color for the drop-down calendar of the DateTimePicker, see the CalendarMonthBackground property.
"

I don't want to set the background color for the drop-down calendar, in fact I'm setting ShowUpDown to true so the drop-down calendar won't be available anyway.

This particular application is just a test bed for a class I'm debugging, so it isn't worth deriving a custom DateTimePicker or using a third-party control. That's why this is a rant. However, if anyone has a simple solution I'd like to hear it in case this comes up again in the future... as it likely will.

Why not put the DateTime picker in a Panel that's slightly larger and set the color of the panel? That would give you a bit of a border and you could even 'flash' it if you wanted to.
