VS 2008 Create New Files Alongside Itself In The Program Files Area?
Jul 30, 2009Having a slight permission problem with Win 7 I am guessing it will be the same on Vista but work fine on XP (yet to try)But my program is sitting in: C:Program FilesCompanyProgram And its trying to create new files alongside itself in the Program Files area but bombing out which I know is permissions. If I go there to create the file myself it comes up with a UAC prompt and when I hit allow it works fine but obv the program can't do that byiteslf so bombs out.Is there anyway I can over come that without the user having to grant admin rights to the program each time it starts or do I have to write data to another place?

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Obtain CRC32 Checksum Of Files Within A Folder Then Rename Files And Folder
Mar 4, 2010in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

Aug 7, 2011I have a question about the performance possible gains of using XML files in a VB.net 2008 windows form application. I am going to pass an XML file for parsing to an embedded resource file or into the release/debug configuration manager (app.config) file to be parsed by the same QuerySectionHandler.

I then zip it up using winzip, send it to my teacher through our school website. When she gets it however, she cannot open it and says I don't have all the required files. I can still open it on my computer, though, and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be helpful on what else I'm supposed to do. If it helps the program that I am doing I have to get it from a zip file she sends us, re-modify it a little, re-save it, and send it back.

Deployment Files In Vb 2008?
Jul 31, 2010I recently upgraded from vb.net 2003 to vb 2008. I see that when I "Build" the application all of the program files are generated, must like with vb.net 2003. When I use the ClickOnce publish approach, a set of files are generated including the setup.exe. When I double click on the setup file, the program installs deep down in My Documents. If I navigate to that location there is a complete set of my application files along with some Manifest files and a Manifest folder.
I wish to package my program for installation using INNO Setup Compiler, because it is very flexible and allows me to add information and choices through the installation process. My question is - if I package the "Publish" set of files, should I be including the files that are generated and located in the "Manifest" folder? and if so, do these files need to be located in their own folder as was installed on my computer? Or can I simply add them to all of the program files?

View 3 RepliesVS 2008 : TCP Sending Files?
Apr 14, 2009I've got a client/server communicating nicely using TCP to send text strings and to parse and act upon the messages at either end, but now I want to be able to send small files. I thought it would be as simple as reading the contents of the file into a buffer and sending that buffer as if it was a message but obviously not. When I retrieve the message at the client end I get "System.Byte[]" so its given me the variable type and not the actual contents of the array I thought I'd passed in!
My Sending code is this :
Public Sub SendFile(ByVal Filename As String)
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter
Dim fs As IO.FileStream
[code]....
(NB I did search for this within the forum and found some examples but they just didn't fit very well with the framework of what I'm doing, such as creating a 2nd tcp channel to handle file transfers?
VS 2008 : Uploading Files By Ftp?
Nov 10, 2010I need to upload a file and rename it. I have found a lot of code that uses the WebRequest for this. I was wondering if there is another method that logs in to the ftp server and will stay connected while I upload files. I am doing this for a webcam application and it seems another method would be quicker than using the credentials each time I need to upload and then rename the file.
