Is there a way to set admin permission on them user/AppData/Local/Temp folder?I need to set it so folders and subfolder cant be deleted, then turn it back on. Not doing anything shady... this is for personal use I make themes for BB phones, and there is a trick where you can set this permission, then export the theme, and it allows you to look at the code of the theme so you can make adjustments in how things work

View 18 RepliesI am making a program in vb.net (Vb 2008) but I want to call a dll or add a dll as reference but there's a prob. I don't want to put DLL in same folder of binary like if exe in d:/ so dll will also be in d:/. I want to call it like environ("temp") or from any other which give constant value not in string like ("c:/windows/system32/user32.dll") etc.. Or directory from resources without dropping it out.
View 3 RepliesI hava a form app, that runs hidden, with just a notify icon, the goal is control worker schedule and alert them for some things they have to do.My problem is,when i open a form (with TopMost = True), it works if the user is admin of the machine or domain admin, if the user is "regular" user, the form just don't open or shown to the screen.I believe that it has got something to do with write permissions in the app folder. I have a contextmenu that works great, even restoring the hidden main form, it just doesn't show/open the other form, without any error.Shouldn't .net use the user $temp folder to write something? If not what's the best way for the app use the EnvironmentVariable("temp")?

View 2 RepliesI have pasted below a piece of code where I am displaying a report. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Crystal Report engine. It works all good with the piece of code
Problem: Everytime a report is being run it generates a ('.*tmp', '.*rpt') files typically in a temp folder c:windows emp however we can get rid of the *.tmp files by setting a recycle on the application pool but need a way to get rid of the .rpt files.
Found solution: Call Close() and Dispose() on the report object. The way I am doing is crReportDoc.Close() then crReportDoc.Dispose()Actual Problem: If Dispose() is called the report comes up with the following error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

I am trying to create an MDB as a temp file to save some tables and query them. After creating, I can't delete it ... Even before it is actually used. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Dim mdbFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName
Dim objClassType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ADOX.Catalog")
Dim obj As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType)
obj.[GetType]().InvokeMember("Create", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, obj, New Object() {"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & mdbFileName & ";"})
[Code] .....
This MDB (after all operations) is huge (+200 Mb) and needs to be deleted.
How to get the file path of the Temp directory (% temp%)? I use Visual Basic 2010
View 1 RepliesAm trying to copy contents of file temp.fxl to temp.seq. I want them to look exactly them. I don't want to copy the file though. I use the following code
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\fxlate\output\temp.fxl", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim s As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code].....
With such simple code, the last line in temp.seq is truncated as attached and the size of the file is smaller than temp.fxl. See attached files. What do I need to do on the above code. Is VB.NET failing to write 1024 characters on one line.
I am creating what could amount to quite a few temp files on a terminal server using the System.IO.Path.GetTempPath. My question is this. Can I trust Windows to clear that directory on a regular basis or do I need to clear it in code?

View 1 RepliesI have an OpenFileDialog. I want the program to copy the file that the user selects to my "temp" folder. If the user doesn't select any file, then it doesn't copy any thing. Here is my code:
Dim Temp As String = "Temp"
If Not Form6.OpenFileDialog12.FileName = "" Then
System.IO.File.Copy(Form6.OpenFileDialog12.FileName, Temp & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Form6.OpenFileDialog12.FileName))
End If
But it doesn't copy any of my files over that are loaded in the OpenFileDialog.
I have a button which on click creates a folder where the user wants. But as soon as the folder is created i want to save its name to the database(Access) The database contains one column named "FolderName"
Here lies my code that i tried:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Dim con As OleDbConnection

I have an array of people stored in a custom structure array... how can i copy this array to a temp array so that the temp array has all the same values as the original custom array?
View 4 RepliesHere's my code: System.IO.File.Move(Form6.OpenFileDialog1.FileName, "Temp") I'm trying to make it so that the program copies the file that you select in the OpenFileDialog and moves it into the "Temp" folder. It gives me an error saying: Cannot create file when file already exists.

View 5 Repliesi have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.
Im using this code in XP 32bit os to get the %windir%windowssystem32 folder path.
sysFolderPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) What i want to know is that will this same code return the %windir%windowssyswow64 folder when used in windows7 (64/32bit)?
