Which version to "release" ??

!NoItAll
297 Contributor
So when I build a VB.net application an .exe appears in the BIN folder, in the OBJ\RELEASE folder, the Debug folder - and even a few other places. So which one of these do I ship to a customer - one would think it would be the one in the RELEASE folder - but with MS what is intuitive is not always the case....
So far I've been shipping the one that appears in the BIN folder - and it appears to be exactly the same as the one in the OBJ/RELEASE folder.

I'm having problems running a release build of an application. The application is a native C++ .NET 2003 MFC application which links to a number of other DLLs, one of which is mixed (SLGSE.dll) (VB.NET/C++). Most of the DLLS are statically linked to the main exe (directly or indirectly) but a few are dynamically linked at runtime. When I try and run the app, it gets "An unhandled non- continuable exception was thrown during process...

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 RC and cannot figure out how to produce a "release" build. Am I doing something wrong? I'm wondering if perhaps MS locked out the ability to produce a release build when using the RC since it does not have a go-live license? Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I do not want to go live with a release build. Rather I just want to test locally to see if there is a performance difference and also to...

I have an asp.net VS 2005 solution that was converted from VS 2003 that I have a deployment problem with. It compiles and runs fine, but now that I'm ready to deploy it I cannot set the website build to Release, i.e. the only option that's available is Debug. I've set debug=off in the Compilation tag in web.config but it makes no difference. The solution also contains a class library that I has both Debug/Release options and I can toggle...

Hi, I am trying to build and deploy a web project from VS 2005 and am unable to select "Release" when I look at the configuration manager. I have several other projects that I am using that I am able to set to "Release", but I only can choose "Debug" for the web project. Can anyone help me out while I still have a few strands of hair left? Thanks,

I am using VB in Vs2005. Am I missing something or does VB not have the concept of "builds" (release/debug) like in VC? I wrote an assembly and I would like to have a debug version of the DLL and a release version of the DLL. I would like to create some sample code that demonstrates my assembly in VB and would like to have two builds, one using my debug version and the other using the release version of the assembly. How can I do...

Hi all, After finishing a script in Toad for MSSQL, I saved and closed the file in Toad. I then kicked off our staging process which moves the file from the save location to somewhere else. The staging process choked, coming back with a "file in use" error. After verifying that I had closed the file in Toad, I simply exited out of Toad completely. The staging process was then able to complete the file-move process. Is there anything...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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. The idea...
