Compiling application

Good day,

How do I compile my application into a single executible install file which
I can distribute to different machines? Im using VS2005 and I seem to
remember in the prevoius version you could do things like specify target
install folder, included files, splash screen, shortcuts to create etc...in
VS2005 there is this Publish utility but I cant seem to customize it at all.

Many thanks,
Grant

The "Publish" option creates what is called a "Click-Once" deployment,
which has many interesting features, but does not let you configure many
things such as shortcuts or install folder.
If you want the latter, you will have to create a Setup and Deployment
project. In Visual Studio, add a new project and select the template for
"setup project". Then right-click on your new project in Solution Explorer
and examine the various options available.

Today I was working on a hideous old app that I created a long time ago that does a lot of showing/hiding/resizing of fields on one of the forms. I had used constants to store reference values for many of the top/height/left settings. I noticed that some of the constants were defined by using other constant values, and I was impressed that VBA could do that. Here's an example: Const row1Top = 1.0208 * 1440 ' top of first row Const...

I'm just experimenting around with the VisualC++ 2005 Express Edition Beta and found some strange behavior for which I can't seem to find a workaround. What I've done is set up two static library projects for Lua 5.0.2 and LuaBind beta-6, compiling both with no CLR support and configured to use the Multithreaded DLL runtime. Then I created a new console application which makes use of these two static libraries (of course, also set to MT...

When compiling my ASP.Net application, VS puts the new DLL under the local cached directory 'VSWebCache' in stead of on the server. How can I make it save the DLL file on the server when compiling?

I need some help. I am trying to set up our development environment so as to make life easy for my fellow developers (none of whom have used ASP.NET or VS.NET before). We are developing our intranet which will comprise basic content with a number of small data-driven ASP.NET applications. I need to keep things simple, so I need to avoid stuff which needs too much in-depth knowledge to work.

Can anyone shed some light on why compiling and running web-apps is so slow in VS2005. I have a solution with 3 web-apps, 20 or so library projects and several winforms apps. All in all it totals about 150,000 lines of C#. I've only just converted this to VS2005 project but am frustrated with the following: - VS2005 insists on compiling all projects when I press F5 to run an application even though no code has changed in the other...

I have an application written in C that does a lot of low level stuff. It does a lot of things like casting from void*'s. I want to create a new GUI for it in either C# or MC++, but reuse the existing code. The options I've considered so far: 1. Create a new MC++ GUI project and add the *.c files to them and mark them with pragma unamanged. However, the /clr option does not compile *.c files, so I rename them to *.cpp, and now they...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
