Publishing an application to use it in an other computer

hello guys,

i'm trying to publish an application so i can use it in an other computer and i'm following the steps in this link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ots=dotnet-5-0

The problem is that the version that i get when i debug from the application visual studio and the one that it's published doesn't work exactly the same way even thought i save the changes that i make before publishing.

the difference is that when i debug the app from visual studio i get the msgbox to save the changes in the files with no probleme and the app works just fine but the version published i get the msgbox to save changes behind all the apps like in the picture (it shows behind the application) .

the problem is that my application actually shows a datagrid and because the msgbox shows behind the app i can't do anything with the datagrid because it's suppose to show in front the datagrid like this :

does anybody knows how to solve this problem and thank you sooooo much

my code is so long so i'm gonna show the most important parts :

Code:

---

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Imports System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
Imports System.Windows
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Color

Public Class Form1

    Dim xlworkbook As Excel.Workbook
    Dim ws1 As Excel.Worksheet
    'Dim workbook As Excel.Workbook
    Dim xlWorkSheet As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet
    Dim xlApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        xlApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
        OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
        xlworkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(TextBox1.Text)

        For Each xlWorkSheet In xlApp.Sheets
            ComboBox1.Items.Add(xlWorkSheet.Name)
        Next
    End Sub
 Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Dim ws1 As Excel.Worksheet
        work1 = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(TextBox1.Text)
        ws1 = work1.Worksheets(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
' here i change the color of some cells and add them to a data grid in Form2 and i show the form 2 when the value in the cells that i changed the color for

 Form2.Show()
            work1.Close()
            xlApp.Quit()
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlApp) : xlApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(work1) : work1 = Nothing
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ws1) : ws1 = Nothing

end sub

end sub

Show us the code. That's never something we should have to ask for.

i added the code thank you for reminding me

Please fix the closing tag so that it formats properly.

Also, point out exactly where the issue is. I don't see where you're displaying a message box.

the message box is not created bye me it's in the savingpart where it asks me if i wanna save changes to my existing file ( so i guess it's displayed bye this part System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(work1)

i'm actually new to vb.net so i may be just guessing but i think that the problem is with where i'm creating or teh way i'm creating my xlApp . it's because i wanna work with my app multiple times with different worksheets. do you think that where i'm placing the creating of my xlapp is right ?

I think you need to set the DisplayAlerts property of the Excel application to False

the displayalerts is to hide the message to save the file but i still want it to show don't wanna hide it. i just don't want it to shows behind the application
