Hi,
I have just written (my first) VB.net app using MS Visual Basic 2005
Express Edition Beta. It is fairly simple, it reads some configuration
data from an XML file then opens a new window containing a WebBrowser
object.
This all works fine and I'm happy with my app so I want to 'publish' to
a setup file so that others can install it, but when I publish it a get
the following errors:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning 1 Could not find resources for culture 'en-US'. Using culture
'en'
instead. C:\WINNT\Micros oft.NET\Framewo rk\v2.0.50215\M icrosoft.Common .targets 0 0
Warning 2 Could not match culture 'en-US' for item '.NET Framework 2.0
Beta'. Using culture 'en'
instead. C:\WINNT\Micros oft.NET\Framewo rk\v2.0.50215\M icrosoft.Common .targets 0 0
Warning 3 SignTool reported an error 'Failed to sign publish\My
Launcher_1_0_0_ 0\My Launcher.exe.ma nifest. sm.exe failed: Could not

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The installer is created, but when I run setup.exe I get an error, the
details of which are:

Can anyone see where I am going wrong? I've spent a few hours
'googling' for the answer but with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

I published my app using the VS.NET 2005 Beta's Publish Web Site option.
Everything pre-compiled and sent all my compiled files to the target server,
no errors popped up...but...
WHen I try to access my site, it gives me an http 404 File Not Found error.
Is there something I'm missing in my short-lived experience with VS.NET 2005

I recently upgraded to from Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Visual Studio .NET
2005. In Visual Studio .NET 2003 when I would select 'Build' it would add a
*.dll with the name of the Project to a /bin/ folder in the same directory
as the source code. However, in Visual Studio .NET 2005 when I selected
'Publish Web Site' and selected a target location to place it in, it placed
the following files in it:

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:
