Click-Once Deployment of DLLs - Visual Basic .NET

Curtis

I have a class library that was created in VB.net 2003 and registered as COM
object so that Visual Foxpro 7 can access the library. At this time we have
to use an MSI installer package to install on every workstation the code
resides. Is it possible to deploy this dll with click-once and have it check
for updates at this time all I see is the ability to deploy .net EXEs with
click once. Any help or examples or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Curtis

Because you are strong signing the DLL (I'm assuming) and typing it with
guids in order to expose it to COM, and because you're consuming the DLL
with COM, you'd really be better off thinking of this the way you would have
an old VB6 DLL - if you keep the signature of the DLL exactly the same, you
might be able to replace the DLL without unregistering and reregistering it
with regasm (though you'll have to close any COM applications accessing the
thing to break the file lock) - in order to avoid DLL hell you're probably
going to want to do the file management via MSI
installations/uninstallations , rather than xcopying....

Programatically click <INPUT type=image ...> element

by: Csaba2000 | last post by:

I want to be able to programatically click on the center of an <INPUT type=image ...> element (I only care about IE 5.5+). This should work regardless of whether IE has focus. Normally you would do myDomElement.click and the mouse doesn't matter, but in the case of an input image element, what happens is the submitted url has something like "?x=12&y=7" appended to it (the numbers vary per mouse position on the clicked element).

Shift-click, control-click

Dear All, I am working on a piece of Javascript code that needs to detect a mouse-click, shift-click and control-click. The code is not my own - it is a part of a much larger suite of routines. The code as it stands does not work in Firefox, and I suspect that the task of feature detection (which currently depends on browser detection) can be carried out better. The result should be that opcode is set to 0,1 or 2 dor click,...

Click vs DoubleClick

by: | last post by:

I have a control that need to perform one behavior when it's Clicked and a different behavior when it's DoubleClicked. It seems that you can't get a DoubleClick without first getting a Click. So what's the best way to keep from executing the click functionality before it's determined if it's a double click or not? Or do I just have to "undo" the Click stuff everytime a DoubleClick is received? Thanks. J

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
