Microsoft patch Windows by replacing the neccesary components.
Remembver that Windows is made up of hundreds or thousands of individual files. When they release a patch it simply replaces the files that need to be changed. If your application simply consists of one file you will need to replace it, if it consists of multiple files, and you only need to change some of them then simply re-deploy the ones you need to change.

I would suggest doing an md5 on all the files included, and just replace the ones that are different.
I bet theres a solution out there that does this?

Thank you very much for your solution, but I don't know what is MD5. Could you give me more detail about this?

Roath,
I don't know if you've already found a solution? If not PatchWise Free is probably what you're looking for. As its name suggests, it's Freeware and really does a great job.

Thank you very much for your solution. Until know i did not know any better solution. Hope that this software could do as what I expected.

Roath,
You're welcome. It will do what you want, it can update multiple files, make a backup of the originals, you can add a custom splash screen, add a license agreement the user has to agree to, to continue, add a readme file (both can be loaded from disk), two different UI's. (Install Shield like - which I use - and a simple)
I use it a lot and am very pleased with it.

How can I check for a NULL/NOTHING/VOID in VB .NET?
If I recall correctly in VB6 it was ISNULL(Variable,Var if NULL)
and i think in VBA it was NZ(Variable,Var if NULL)
Can't find the .Net equivalent.
Thanks

Hi
I think you can use expression vbNull! something like this:
If you have a function like:
Private Function LoadData() As DataReader
So your code can be like this:
If LoadData = vbNull Then
.
.
.
End IfYou can find more about it on MSDN(search for VisualBasic Namespace).
Hope it can help
Have a nice programming day

Hi, my orignal database is store in Ms access. And I want to transfer the information of database to the other location. Now my system has only 56kbp modem to access the internet. Can any one give me any solution that i could convert my data as small as i can in order to send via e-mail using the slow connection?

Try zipping it. Really, that's going to save space a lot more efficiently than anything else you might try.

You shoula also use the Access utility to compact the database as well. If an Access database has been used a lot it tends to have a lot of garbage in it that increases the size.

This is the sort of question that you could answer yourself in seconds if you tried google.

I wouldn't put statements like that. It implies that this must be the most important thing the reader has to do when it clearly isn't. Also, the fact that you put "expecting" puts a sort of guilt trip on the reader which is unwanted. (or that could just be me having been born into a family with some members on the extreme wing of the Free Kirk.)

Hello,
I have what I think is a simple task, but I have yet to find the answer. I'm trying to insert a table field into a query string from a dropdown list. I'm using MySql for a database, and if I use a control parameter, it inserts the selected value from the dropdown into the query with single quotes, like 'xxx'. MySql wants field name to be unquoted, like xxx. My query is like SELECT name, number, city FROM mytable WHERE xxx LIKE 'something';. And I can't figure out how to insert the xxx into the query without the quotes. I was wondering if any of you have ever done something like this where you entered a field name into a query string. I'm sure this is done somehow. I can't imagine not being able to do this. Any suggestion, and I mean ANY suggestion will be welcomed. How would you do it with MSsql or access?

|
|

SELECT name,number,city FROM mytable WHERE xxx like '%" & str & "%'"
Asif

|
|
|
|
Yes -as Asif says, without the quotes.
Dim sFieldName as string = cmbField.Text
Dim sSQL as string = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE " & sFieldName & " = 'A Value'"
Note that you need to be wary of SQL Injection attacks etc in this case... Can the user modify the combo text?

Hi, does anyone know that vb.net 2005 include the graph control or not?
|
|
|
|
|
I have a graph that needs the X axis labels to be arranged vertically. The labels are links to different pages. If I use System.Drawing's DrawString method, the link "<a href="x.aspx" >x</a>" is shown as it is instead of a link in the image. Is there any way to show the text vertically and with the links retained? Please help.

I don't know really.
But I guess there are two, or may be three, options.
1) Check if the linklabel class has a predefined orientation property (I guess not ... but it's worth a check)
2) Override the linklabel onPaint method (tricky)
3) Use the drawstring, intercept the click event on the "father" object, check if it's inside your text and then launch the link.
