I recently programmed a Windows Form Application on one laptop, however, when I attempt to run the executable on my client's PC it won't open. There are no error messages generated, it just won't open.
The only thing in use that wasn't built into VS2015 was Telerik UI for winforms and the application is a standalone exe.
Any suggestions?
I finally got this sorted a couple of days ago. After a LOT of fiddling about I realised that it was indeed to do with the references. After consulting the Telerik Documentation (as Chris suggested) I realised that, indeed, the dlls were stored in the GAC (something I'd never heard of) and not actually automatically packaged with the software. So I editted the program file options so that they were included and problem solved! Thank You all for your help and sorry the original question was so badly written, I had no idea what data it would have been relevant to include

I need to use the WinForms RichTextBox as an ocx in VB6.
Some years ago, there was an automatically wrapper tool (or at least a helper), the Microsoft.InteropFormTools.
Somebody even developed if further for VS2019:
https://github.com/hurcane/Microsoft.InteropFormTools.InteropFormProxyGenerator
I managed to compile it.
It now shows up in VS2019:
But I do not see any template or how to go on:
There is no template.
I have posted this question in the github project, but I am afraid it's dead.
Thank you for any help!
The main software that we built is built using VB6 (old school, I know). We're having some problem for viewing a report using ActiveReports. We did many Debug DLLs and were unable to find why the problem happen. Note that restarting the server solves the issue, which brings us to think that the problem is resource related.
Is there a way I can see how much memory is being used by a DLL? I would like to see if an object in that dll might not be released correctly.
I tried using the performance monitor, but this is not as precise as needed.
Is there anything i could use to monitor a Dll's usage?
We are just doing it the hard way and monitoring a server running multiple instances of the DLL.
Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong here. I have a SharePoint 2010 workflow I am coding in Visual Studio, and I was trying to emulate what is being done here, but as soon as I hit this line:
PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
My workflow errors out.
I have Phil's book (workflow's in action) which contains an old version of the winnovative dll in one of his code samples, and thinking that might be the issue, I downloaded the newest version from winnovative's site, updated the using line at the top from:
using Winnovative.WnvHtmlConvert;
to simply:
using Winnovative;
as per the developer documentation that came with this newer version, and still no luck. Is there something else I need to do that I'm missing when using this with SharePoint? When utilizing an XSL style sheet for some transforms I had to deploy the xsl to the templates via my project utilizing the sharepoint mapped folder from within Visual Studio. Is something similar required for the winnovative dll to be utilized as well, so that the functions within the dll can be accessed? Do I need to do regsvr32 on the sharepoint server to utilize (something that literally just occurred to me as I'm writing this post), or is adding the reference in visual studio and compiling my code enough? Sorry, not the world's greatest developer, so some insight would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
I figured it out. Following the breadcrumbs of my questions, I found out the dll needed to be deployed to the GAC. Once I did that it worked. This has been a big learning experience, but at least now I know. Thanks for looking.
I'm currently trying to compile an old program (made with C++ builder 2 or 3) with the "current" Embarcadero RAD Studio XE2.
So, I was wondering whether there is an easy way to use the old code, as Borland once claimed to be fully compatible to lower versions... however I couldn't find a "project-file", only source-code (.cpp, .h, .res, etc.).
I tried to "add to project" the main .cpp, however there seem to be some wrong include-paths... it also seem to use the OWL-package and includes its important source-files...
I'm a bit confused which type of main project I have to open first, since you need to open a new project before adding the source to it. As the running .exe has a GUI, I tried a Form-Window first, but it may be better to use a console or service as the real form is produced within the code as far as I understand.
So, after installing OWL and correcting the include-paths, do you think it should be running fine? Or is there something else to take care of?
If your old project was using OWL, you're probably well outside of the supported upgrade path.
That being said, valid C++ code should still compile and work and I've heard of people using OWL with recent versions of C++Builder. (via OWLNext)
Regarding your confusion as to which type of project to use, I believe a console application would be your best bet. A forms application is completely wrong, that will bring in the VCL and give you no end of problems trying to reconcile the different windowing systems. A service application is a completely different beast as well, and isn't meant for GUI applications. A console application should work, but you'll need more. The OWLNext project has a wiki that should help quite a bit.
I absolutely love the Source Code Ouliner power toy that I use in VS2005 but am upgrading to 2010 and it seems they haven't yet released a new version. Is there anything similar that shows you a basic outline of the file you are currently navigating?
ReSharper, amongst many other features, has a File Structure window which does the same as Source Outliner.
For a free one, try the Solution Navigator in the Microsoft Productivity Power Tools.
Like you, I found this a totally great plug in that saved on the order of minutes per day. No more searching for functions! Luckily Source Outliner has been re-created for VS2010 and is still free. However, sbohlen updated it and it now runs on the (free) DXCore environment. I have been using it ever since I upgraded to VS2010.
You can read along as I got this set up, downloaded all the parts and got it running.

The download is here:

You will also need the DXCore community installer from http://www.devexpress.com
But as a ReSharper user for years now, I will use the File Structure - same sort of view and already built in to R#.
