Hi, I want to automatically expand Combo box on focus event. I have set the Droppeddown = True in gotfocus event, but this has a side effect. When click event gets fired, it expands dropdown and closes immediately. How can I avoid it?:confused:

Thanks for this quicky, I already have an installation project in solution. But if i add those files only in installation project, How can i access these files/folders while debugging my application? As my code uses path of exe+path of folder to access those files, folders must be inside application folder.

Hi, I'm developing an application which uses some additional files ( like images,templates etc). I have made folders in bin/debug/ dir so that i can access them relative to exe. Is this a correct way? As now i am switching to release configuration, I need to copy all these files with dlls which i refer to bin/release directory also. What should be done ideally?

Hi, I want to initiate a uninstall process of an application (already install) through another vb.net application. Is it possible?

Then I think you have to write your own daemon so that you can connect to it, n call a routine which will show a shutdown timer , and on time up call a forced shutdown with 0 time inerval. :)

Try setting the timeout parameter to 0.

Thanks Nagy, I was completely unaware of "binary compatible" thing.

RK, The link tells you about a function "ExitWindowsEx" Lib "User32" , If you set parameter to FORCE, I think it can not be stopped using shutdown -a. ( I have tried it once and failed as system gets shutdown quickly ) Also I have tried by creating a batch file as following:
shutdown -f
shutdown -a
Still my system logged off. So i think ExitWindwsEx with FORCED parameter is function for you.

I have resolved the issue using regsvr32. I register that dll and added references from COM reference. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Following link might be useful. http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet90.htm[^] Personally I think its not a good idea to force shutdown on user for whatsoever reason.

Hi, I am developing an application using vs 2008 and vb.net. There are 4 projects in my solution which uses a same DLL created in vb6. Now when I compile the solution each time my reference to dll gets lost in each project. ( I have added separate reference to each project). How can I overcome this problem? Is there any better way of adding reference in my case?

Can you explain a bit more , and send the related code? I think answer lies here:

Hi, I have created a custom action which requires a reference to a dll say dll1, that dll in turn requires reference to another dll say dll2. Now I have a deployment issue of how to install dll2 before custom action takes place. I got the file not found exception for that dll from custom action. I have tried manually copying dll2 in system32 folder and my installer worked fine.
