vb 2008 software outputs software too? - cry1978 - 07-11-2011
in visual basic 2008 I know it has its own project exe file, this is not my case?
when you open a file like a pdf file, you can some how turn it into an exe file? You can't just use filter in the savefiledialog box to make this happen, so what do I need for this project? a built in vb converter? lol
this is to make a form appear before the pdf appears?
this is a validation form for users to insert there user keys before the ebook opens.
I have a website connecting to a vb software, the software does not work, so I am creating a new one, if god could help me lol
any ideas?

Lol, well what it sounds like you are trying to do is show a form before opening a .pdf file. This is really simple to do.
Simply show the form, and after the validation code is entered, a button is pressed... And to open a pdf file with this button, simply use the code.
Code:
Process.start("C:\PDFFILEGOESHERE.pdf")
