I think he has a VB exe but no source code and would like to 'reverse-engineer' the exe to get the source code back. If this is correct then I'm not sure if it's possible.

You can disassemble it to get a start I believe, unless he means he wants to convert it to native code so he doesn't have to go through the JIT compiler (or require the .net framework in case I got that abbreviation wrong), in which case I don't think thats possible.

you should have switched to VB.NET a long time ago; that way you could decompile and get something that resembles the original source file.

Is this VB.NET, or are you living in the dark ages ?

Let me try to understand what you mean. Are you saying you have a VB.NET Project(Because i cant help you with vb6 )and you want to create a Setup Project? If that is what you mean tell us

If you are doing in vb use this
step 1: Goto file -> make project1.exe
after complied. go to this path.
Step 2:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\PDCMDLN.EXE
then select Project File after that press Package.
Then that will guide till end of creation setup file.

Hi there.
I have a form with 3 combo boxes on, each with a random number of items in them.
What I am trying to do is to let the user select items from the combo boxes and then generate the sql query based on what they had selected, i would then want to display the results of this query in a datagrid view.
I am fairly sure i will need to use a sproc to pass parameters for the fields i will need from the app to the database but i am pretty much a vb novice and have only recently started using sql connections through it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need a stored proc, although if you don't use one, you would do well to use parameterised queries. However, if the text comes from a combobox, there's probably no harm in string mashing your SQL together.
Do you know how to do any of this, or are you hoping to have it all explained for you ?

True but he can still use parameters for that extra security  (its just a little bit more code)
|

Oh, I'd normally agree, but in this case, I got the feeling that just string mashing SQL was going to confuse him.

Thanks Christian.
I am aware of how to create string queries but what part of the form would i insert the query? Would it be the button that the user clicks when they have chosen what they want from the combo boxes?

Yes , when else would you do it?
Well I guess you could also do it in the selectedindexchanged event off the comboboxes but that is making things more difficult then they need to be.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that's entirely up to you, when do you want the query to run ? A button is easiest, as someone else said.

Why don't you ask the people who wrote or use the component you found ? Most people who read this, have never seen PDFBox, so how can we help you ?

Google also do a search engine. It's at www.google.com, but when you search for articles on doing this, you'll probably come back to code project, so better to just search the articles here, I think.

regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", True)
regKey.SetValue("Birth", Application.ExecutablePath & " -startup")

Just handle the paint event and draw your line there. Use Pens.Black instead of creating a new one, if you just want black.

Write this code in Paint event of your form
Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics
Dim myPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
Dim myRect As New Rectangle(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)
g = Me.CreateGraphics
g.DrawRectangle(myPen, myRect)
g.Dispose()
