I think there are .NET obfuscators that cram all the dependencies into one assembly and optionally compile it into a native executable.

There are no "free full functional" ones.
The one or two products that promise to include all the required parts into your program are quite expensive from what I've heard.

But obviously, if one main requirement for your application is that no installation is required, then choosing .NET was a mistake in the first place.

Actually, it's not a mistake. If the OS comes with the required framework, no installation is required and a simple copy and paste is all that is needed. (e.g.: I can compile and send the resulting assembly over to my friend's computer for execution without him having to install anything.)

I think that's exactly the problem he's facing.
Windows Server 2003 comes with .NET 2.0 pre-installed, Vista comes with .NET 3.0 pre-installed.
For all other OS's there is no .NET installed out-of-the-box, and without installing .NET the application doesn't work.
Installing .NET can be automated, but even then it takes a while.

Once the target system does have .NET, of course you can simply use XCOPY deployment for .NET applications, but without the framework you're grounded.

I build a C++ app that launches the .NET install from CD if needed, then installs my app. It works well for me.

He might not be using .NET 2.0. I think one of out fellow Code Project members wrote one by extending a regular textbox and intercepting keys. I can't be sure.

Very well could be, but he should move up to 2.0 if not already there.

ComBox with no selection

Hi,
In a ComboBox that items is bound to DB, How can add the ability that user can select nothing of items.
Suppose it has 5 items when user opens (drops) it, then he/she must select one item and can't don't select none of them.

Best wishes

Just add another option for 'None' or something. Then when they pick that, you know they don't want any of the options.
I don't think the combobox can select nothing, even when it first starts and has the default text, the selected index is 0 (so, the first item in the list).

Dear Mahmoud,

you'll get answers to concrete problems here, but if you have very basic starting problems, then a good book on C# or VB.NET is definitely a much better choice.

Feel free to come back here with a concrete C# question, though, once you completed the first steps.

Regards,
mav

Hi,

Here is a good general tutorial on C# (the links are on the right of the page)Clickety

Again a general CodeProject C# tutorial Clickety

Since you are a beginner with C# and VB I would strongly recommend that you bite the bullet as soon as possible with regards to threading and here is a good tutorial Clickety

One tip I will give you, which comes from my own experience, is to concentrate on learning C# rather than VB.
The reason I say this is twofold:
C# tends to encourage better programming habits than VB.
If you can get an understanding of C# you should have no difficulty with VB whereas the opposite is not necessarily true.

Regards and welcome

Guy

Hello,

I have an application that references a particular assembly that contains the Windows Media Center Click-To-Record API (Windows\eHome\ehRecObj.dll). The problem is that when my application runs on Vista this assembly is version 6.0.6000.0 and when it runs on MCE 2k5 the version of this assembly is 5.1.2710.2732.

My development machine is running Vista, so when I add a reference to this assembly to my project it's to the 6.0.6000.0 version. This results in my application crashing when I run it on MCE 2k5 with a "could not load file or assembly" exception because that particular version of that assembly does not exist on MCE 2k5.

What do I need to do to my project so that my application will work with either version of the ehRecObj assembly?

I've searched for documentation but since I don't understand assembly versioning very well I can't quite seem to find anything that answers my question.
