Hello,
after the compilation of my vb6.0 project my exe file was usually about 5MB. But recently I either get the error 'system errror &H80004005 (-2147467259) unknown error' or in the case that the compilation was successful the exe file is about 120MB.
(the files that belong to the project are not bigger than 7MB alltogether).
Does any one know how it is possible that the exe file can become so big.
The only changes I've made were minor code changes.I didn't add any references or componets to the project.I've tried to reinstall the VS 6.0 and all the components I use but without any result. Even the older version of the project which I've compiled to the normal size a few weeks ago is now about 120MB after compilation.
I use VB6 with SP6 on a WinXP machine.
I would be very greatful for any kind of idea or information
regards,
Andreas

Check that you haven't included debug information in the compilation.

"the exe file is about 120MB"
Is it 120MB or 12MB?
|

|
How would I know? Ask the original poster.

It is 120MB so the difference is really significant. I think I wouldn't bother about 12MB.

do you mean the the option 'generate debug information for symbolic debugger' on the register compile in the project properties?
This option isn't checked. So I assume I have no debug information in my compilation
I have even found an older version of my vbp file and tried to compile the project using it but the exe file was still 120MB

Delete the bin and do a full recompile.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

thanks for the suggestion but I'm working with vb6.0 and as far as I know there is no bin

Sorry about that, I tend to use bin (as in binary) and exe interchangeably.

well I've also tried to delete the exe, but the result is still the same.
But during the compilation there are two phases one "compilation in progress". I suppose this is the compiler, which works fine. The obj files are created. Then the second phase "exe is being created" which is the linker.This process fails very often. Do you think that perhaps any of the dlls which are linked with my project could be corrupt?

System wide spell check
Dyslexic Helper is a spell check that can be used anywhere in windows.
I have a bit of a problem spelling due to my dyslexia, to help me with this I wrote an application that spell checks copied text. This application can be run anywhere in windows by a combination of keys or the application's menu, accessed via the system tray. Feel free to use this application as much as you like.
It is written using VB.Net as well as C# and the entire source is availble here, if you would like to see how it works. The spell check control I used is called NetSpell. I have changed this control a little bit but mostly just for looks. The system wide hot key control I found at The Code Project I modified it a little so I could change the hotkey at runtime and return the current selected hotkey as a text value.
Cheers,
Aaron

Why don't you post this as an article? Then it won't be buried in the flow of messages in the forum.

I didn't think it was article worthy.

You should give a try though, you never know. It might come in handy for other CPians

Hi all,
I have a vb.net application which connect to an Oracle Data Base, this application works very well on my PC, but when I tried to install it on another PC which also have .Net framework and Oracle DB, it did not work.
It could not connect to Oracle from any other PC rather than mu PC.
the problem message is:
Ora: 12541 : TNS : No Listener
plz all if any one have an idea to solve the problem tell me plz. 
Kind Regards

I take it that the other client machine has the Oracle Client installed (at least v8.1). Is the Oracle database on the same machine, or does this machine have to connect to another machine hosting the database? Are you using Oracle Personal Edition to host the database on a remote machine??

And what would that problem be??? You'll have to explain this is a bit more detail, like what you've tried, what the errors you got were and on what lines of code, ...
Rafi_Rafiuddin wrote: please give me suitable code for this soon
Nope. Considering there's about a dozen different ways of doing this, a code sample at this stage would be pretty much pointless.

how to write mysql store procedure..
|
|

Your question is very vague.
Is it the syntax that you have problems with, or how to interact with the database? What have you tried?

I don't know why idiot voted you a 1. Seems like a perfectly valid question to me considering the OP's total lack of detail!

I'm guessing it was the OP... Too vague of a question. I would like it if people would structure their questions a little nicer

Well, at least there was a question... some even forget the question part of the question...

You might want to add some detail to this question. Plus, what does this have to do with VB.NET??

My guess is that he wants to use stored procedures from MySQL in VB? Not too sure since the question is very lacking in detail
