chears, when it asks me to add the code

PHP Code:

---

    Skybound.Gecko.Xpcom.Initialize(xulrunnerPath);

how can i set xulrunnerPath to be the folder that my entire project is in?

If you just want to get the path to where your program is being run from you can use Application.StartupPath I think

still cant get it working, everything looks fine, just wont work.

If anyone can upload an example project with it going to google for example ( in vb.net ) it would be much apreceated.

How about you upload your project and we see where you are going wrong? Or just copy and paste the relevant bits of code..

While I bet the file is in the location you think it is, it's not where the app thinks it SHOULD be... when running an app, remember it does NOT run in the project folder... it actually runs in the DEBUG subfolder.... so, if you are looking for a file that is in the same folder as the application, you need to make sure that it too gets copied into the sub folder. First, make sure you are showing all files in your solution explorer, then click the HTML file and look at it's properties. Make sure that the Copy Local setting is at least "Copy if Newer" if not "Copy Always".

ok :) here is an example project . .. whats going wrong? :)

anyone had any luck with this? would be a big help if i get this working.....

Thanks

is no1 able to see why this is not working?

Well you are not specifying a file, you are just specifying Application.StartupPath and nothing else so unless that Initialize method is looking for a directory rather than a file then its not going to work. I have no idea what that Initialize method wants you to pass in but I would assume its documented on their website

Thanks for your help, sort of got it working now :) i hav to refer to an actual folder.

how can i add a folder to my project and include it? so that it automatical gets added to the debug folder etc, and gets included when i publish?


Thanks
