I'm not really sure what to say. If you're building an installer, then your installer needs to create those registry keys. I don't know what installer you're using, surely you're capable of reading it's documentation ?

Dear Graus..
My application is in VB.Net and i have created the set-up and now i need to deploy the setup..Morover you were saying about documentation..What do u mean..I can't understand..
Thanks & Regards,
Balaguru

Well, how did you create the setup ? Obviously, the setup is what needs to set up the PC to run your program, right ? Your code isn't magically going to run itself. For example, I use Advanced Installer to create the setup, and it has options to create registry keys as part of the install.
I'm sorry, this is so simple, that I really don't know what else I can say.

looks to me like the stream is not valid, therefore I assume your decryption is not happening.

Hi,
In regards to your question I would like to mention that to access the MS Office application (components) you need to have VSTO 2005 (Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition) The Second Addition empowers developers to develop application targeting Office 2007 applications.
If you have VSTO patches installed on your machine then you need to use
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.Excel.dll in your application.
For more information regarding the VSTO components please visit the following link: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsto2/
I hope this helps  .

I'm new in VB.Net.
I want to generate document number in this format <yyyymmdd><custid><running_no>
i cannot make the date format starting with year so i make 3 text box each is year, month n day. how to make 3 items from date, custID and running_no put in one field call docNo.
i'm using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

zaimah wrote: i cannot make the date format starting with year
The way to do this is the overload of the ToString method that lets you specify the format with a format string like YYYYMMDD.
zaimah wrote: how to make 3 items from date, custID and running_no put in one field call docNo.
Assuming the are all textboxes
docNo.Text = date.Text + custID.Text + running_no.Text
zaimah wrote: i'm using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
Well, obviously. Telling us the version number may help, but we know you're using visual studio.
I suspect you'd benefit from working through a book on VB.NET, it would cover things like how ToString is overloaded, and how to add strings to each other.

hi, i have used the formula that u gave. it works, but there's one problem. i use docNo = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") + Kod.Text + (values from field 'run_no' from 'table runNo')
how to add values from other table?

Hi, i m developing a text editor in vb.net. i m using webbrowser control for text editing. All i want is
when user press Crtl+S during writing the text it write letter 's' in text editing area. How can i avoid this ???? Thx in advance
i look in KeyPreviewEvent of webbrowser, but like vb i didn't see any property to replace the incoming keycode (e.keycode is readonly) with zero or nothing to prevent writing the letter 's'

That is just plain bizarre. Why ?
Use a textbox or richtextbox, that's what it is for. You'll be able to respond to keyboard input in a far more meaningful way.

If i have system tray icon of an application and on double clicking it opens in maximize state.
Now if i click on the icon then i want that the current exe should open in maximize state and not a new instance just like outlook
If outlook is open and i click on outlook again it opens the current outlook and not new instance
how can i do this in VB 2005

By creating a mutex or other cross process object you can check for in order to tell when your app is running, and when it's run again, use cross process communication mechanisms ( ideally, WCF ) to tell the other instance to pop up, before closing.

Do you have some code sample or some link.
|
|
|
|
|
In order to detect already running instance of an existing application you may use following code in form load event-
--------------------------------------------
Dim ProgName As String = Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess.MainModule.ModuleName
Dim ProcName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(ProgName)
If Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcName).Length > 1 Then
‘This will close the new instance of application
Application.Exit()
End If
---------------------------------------------
However in order to maximize currently running instance you will need to use a call back function in your application.
You may check following link for getting more information about cross-thread communication-

I hope this helps.

Hi All
I am using a WebBrowser control to navigate to sites in my VB.Net application. After navigating I want to Navigate to some of the links in it depending on some conditions. Can anybody advise how can I collect the links contained in the WebBrowser Document and how can I Raise a click event for a collected link so that it automatically navigates to the link.
I have written the code as bellow :
Dim link1 As mshtml.HTMLLinkElement
link1 = WebBrowser1.Document.Links(10)
Now How can I click the link link1 to navigate to the link.
Please Help. Thanks in advance.

Hello every one
I have a variable which holds a color
grid_color.GREEN = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromOle(&HC0FFC0)
I assign it to the back of a row of a grid
DataGridView_Payment.Rows(0).Cells(0).Style.BackColor = grid_color.GREEN
Now on different back colors I want to do different actions
But when I compare it again it dose not matches
If DataGrid_Q.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = grid_color.GREEN Then
Can any one plz help me
|
|
|
|
|
Do the red, green and blue components match ?

When I do
DataGrid_Q.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor.ToArgb
then i get value as "0"
Can you plz give me a example of the same
|

|

The color is black, that's why it does not match.
DataGrid_Q.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor
in the debugger will expand to show the red, green and blue values, but it's already clear they do not match a green color. Therefore, your code is working, the cell is not green.

Thanks for the idea
Now it is working
The changes I made now are
- I was setting the color of whole of the row at a time
- When I was comparing I was comparing cell back color
- Now I changed the comparison to row back color and it worked
