I guess you have to define the requirements and how it needs to behave. Does it require a rich and responsive UI? If so, then the desktop is still the best bet despite AJAX etc. Does it need to be accessible from multiple platforms? Then ASP.NET is the way to go.
Note that if you go the desktop route you can deploy it from the web using ClickOnce technology. So that takes care of the ease of installation and ease of updating bit. The only other restriction is that the client must be Windows.

Is there a .NET equivalent to the PHP pack function?
|
|

|

Nope. I gather you would probably need write your own implementation for this. I can't find a library that implements this.

When I run my app in the IDE the labels are aligned. When I compile the app and run it as an exe...some of the labels are not aligned - when moved to a non-vista machine...the same applies. I have the anchor applied correctly... anyone run into this and is there a work around?
note: sp1 for vs2005 for vista has been applied already.
thanks.

hi my name is saleem
to make an installer you can use visual studio 2005
make a new project the select other project types
select setup project
and then you have to add to this project an exe file of you application
and other files or shortcut on start menu or desktop
you can also put values and new keys in registry
when you finish
select build go to your project folder you will find a setup file in a folder called... i dont remember
any way this should work i tried it to make three setup files
but the problem that this installer does'nt work on a windows
if there is no .netframework

Hope this helps .

I am working on a Vista DB Project at work. I had the same issue, well getting the SQL statement right. When i get to work in the morning I will let you know what I did. Also can you go into the DB and run a query? That is what I did to troubleshoot my SQL statement. One problem might be that you have to declare id as a double: Dim id as double. Also use & instead of + when using the id at the end of the string. Try that.

You could try to use the .ToString conversion on the integer.
eg, str = "select id,name from table where id="+id.ToString

What data type is str?

Like I mentioned before I am using Vista DB at work and there is a sql built in, as my experience with databases is limited to the intro course in college. I have a db with 2 cloumns, one for serial numebrs labeled, serial_number, and one for what we call kanban_serial. I found it easier to use the underscore instead of using the quatation mark in my statement. So here is what I have, hope it helps:
Private Sub find(ByVal sn As Integer)
Dim sqlSN As String = "SELECT * FROM 'serial number data' WHERE 'serial_number' = & 'sn'"
I also use a section to delete a record from the db and here is what I have:
Dim d_SN As Integer
d_SN = CInt(txt1.Text)
Dim delete_SN As String = "DELETE FROM serial_number_data WHERE serial_number = " & d_SN

I am developing a system in VB.NET 2008 with an SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition backend, which will require several reports to be written. Some of these reports will be quite complex.
I have never used SQL Server's Reporting Services, but was wondering if I should use them for the reports as apposed to Crystal Reports 2008. I have no objection of learning SQL Server Reporting Services as I will need to learn them in the mid-term future away.
With Crystal, I would be inclinded to create SQL Server Stored Procedures to colate the data for the reports anyway.
Any advice would be appreicated.
Thanks

It would be appreciated if you tell me how I can prevent appearing this problem.

hi all.
first is my application read and write some information from registry.
the application run smoothly in admin mode in both (xp and vista)
but the problem is, if the account type is guest the my application fails to run.
i have tried to make manifest file but it won't work at all.
is their any other way to allow my application in guest account with administrator rights.
thanks to all in advance.

Yup there is...
I think the problem why your application does not run in 'user mode' is that the given user doesn't have sufficient rights to read or write the registry.
First of all you should ask yourself if reading & writing to the registry is really needed. There are several other perfect ways to store application data etc... Have a look at Isolated Storage[^] for example
Second there are a few different permissions required for different 'sections' of the registry. For example HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE requires admin rights... You may have a look at HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Of course you cannot store 'system wide' information there....

XP doesn't have this ability. The user has to launch the application using RunAs.
I would suggest, next time, you develop your application under a normal User account, the same as the type that's going to run your application, and not as an administrator. This forces you to take into consideration the restictions the user has to access certain things, like the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive in the registry.

I have two screens and one - the wrong one - is still active or set to primary screen respectively.
Is there any possibility of changing this?
Thanks in advance.
