I would like to use a SaveFileDialog to retrieve a path and filename.
Like for example: You choose a saving location and filename in the SaveFileDialog, and then when you press save the path and filename will be put in to a string as such: C:Folderfilename.txt
I am having trouble getting a filename out of my SaveFileDialog. I am using Framework 4.0, it works fine in 3.5.
Private Sub cmdExportToPDF_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdExportToPDF.Click
Dim SaveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()
[Code].....
The simple code:
Private Sub destinationButton_Click() Handles destinationButton.Click
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[code].....
im completely new to VB and im trying to learn myself how to download a file and use the SaveFileDialog with it. I cant see what im doing wrong
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[code].....
How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
[Code].....
With this one..
SaveFileDialog2.CreatePrompt = True
SaveFileDialog2.Filter = "Text (*.txt) |*.txt|(*.*) |*.*"
txtBrowse.Text = SaveFileDialog2.FileName
[CODE]...
I'm trying to export the data from dgv to csv txtfile but i'm getting this error..Empty path name is not legal.
I got an easy one this time How can I get a file knowing the path and the name of it, but not knowing the extension which I need to get. You can see at the moment I use this silly code which finds and opens some main filetypes for me, but if I could get hold of the file extension just by using the filename and the path I could open any document or image...

I'm stuck at making an vacationplanner. For example: an employee can request a day off which request is send to an access database. After which the request has to be approved (or declined) by a supervisor. The supervisor logs in and goes to a overview form to see outstanding and approved request. I use a Datagridview to display the name of the employees at the Y-axis and the corresponding days in the selected month in the X-axis. Then I loop through the access database to fill the specific cells with an grey image on specific days for part-time employees.
After this I loop through a seperate accessdatabase to retrieve the outstanding and approved requests and fill the corresponding cells with an image. Example: yellow image for outstanding and green for approved requests.
dgvBezetting.Item(dag, rij).Value = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath() & "/uren/grijs.jpg")
Now I get to the part where I'm kind of stuck.
In the mentioned datagridview the supervisor can see the already approved requests. But, when an employee suddenly changed or canceled the already approved day off, the supervisor must be able to delete the request. I can find out with hitTest on which cell the supervisor has clicked and from there check the database for request entries, but this will consume a lot of database transaction when the supervisor keeps clicking on cells witch no data in it.
What I preferably want.....
I actually want to check if the clicked cell contains an image or not and from there on continue with an connetion to the database or not. But, I can't figure out how to retrieve the imagename or if there is an image used or not... I only get the result 'System.Drawing.Image', 'System.Drawing.Bitmap' or 'Image', nothing referencing to the imagefilename..
I'm creating a BASIC application, and I can't figure out how to save a user selected file (FolderBrowserDialog) to a location selected in another dialog (SaveFileDialog).

in my program, i use that code for getting the file path of a process, once it gets the path, it is put into a list view which has details like the task manager. the code works fine the first time, but with a little bug that is, when it reaches the vhost of my program. For some reason, it just copies the file path of my program even though the process has changed. After the code has gone through, i want it to refresh the list so as doing the same as when loaded...so I let it refresh and once again it copies the path of the vhost, but this time it has basically taken over every process' location. So in turn, I only get returned my programs location, for something like the task managers location, where it would be like "C:Windowssystem32skmgr.exe"
Here's the
VB
Private Sub frmmain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim Process As New Process()
Dim Count As Integer = 0
[code]....
The refresh code is frmmain_Load(Nothing, Nothing) just to make things easy for me right now, while i get that part of the program going. To me it seems to be working fine, but why it does that what it does, im not sure. as you can see, the process changes. and Ive even checked it through run time, and each and every time, the process.processname changes.

View 4 RepliesQuick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

I want to retrieve the selected items in a listbox, save them to a collection, and then use that collection later. I thought that was simple enough, but when I clear the selected items in the listbox, my collections (items, indices) change. I found this out by stepping through the code.
Basically what I'm wanting to do is move items in the listbox up or down (up in this case), and still keep them selected.

I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". if I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories. I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type.

Using vb.net 2008 I have a form with a PDFViewer control. I pass the filename and path to open the pdf. When the form is closed, AcroRd32.exe is not destroyed. It remains in Task Manager even after I've completely closed the application. The more pdf files I open, the more memory used. How can I destroy? I've tried setting the control = nothing, ctrl.dispose but neither is working. What am I doing wrong?
View 5 RepliesThis is the code I have set up to scan a directory of files:
Dim fileArray() As String
fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "help")
And it successfully gets all files in the directory, but it gets their absolute paths as well. For example, one of the entries in fileArray() is:
F:ProjectProjectinx86Debughelpook_troubleshoot.html
And I want it to just be:
book_troubleshoot.html
Is there a way to do this without parsing through all the array entries to trim off the path?
I suppose technically this isn't .NET specific but I suspect this is something to do with the registry and I'm using .NET!I'm trying to find out how to get the fully qualified path relating to a file type.For example, the system knows that to open a PDF file it needs to launch C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Reader 10.0Readeracrord32.exe
I've had a good long search through the registry and found a lot of references to the adobe path probably too many - and I've edited them to try and "break" the process so I can identify which one is used to discover the path but with no luck. I'm assuming this has something to do with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?
I am a new developer in general and decided on VB.NET for my first language. So, I decided that I should write a basic FTP client since the types of apps I plan on developing later on will incorporate file transfer. I imported the chilkat dll as a reference to my project since the FTP seems to work great. Anyhow, I've designed my program with separate interfaces for sending and getting files (see attached screenshot).
The problem here is that I use an openfiledialogbox to select the local file to transfer to an FTP server which this populates the textbox with "C: ext.txt", but chilkat wants the filename without the C:, or I receive an prohibited file name error when executing the send button. So basically I just need a way to store the filename text.txt without the C: extension so I can specify THAT name as the "remotefilename" which Chilkat will understand. The way I'd really like to do it is to have my send button remove the C: from the existing textbox and just leave the filename there - that would be fine.
I tried to research this and found that the path.Getfilename may be used for this, but I'm not totally sure how i should go about it. Here is the code of the Send button for my FTP Program so far. *By the way, this program works 100% if i just create another textbox, take the filename "test.text" and reference that as the remotefilename.

Is there a way to use vb .net code to retrieve the path name for a file or database?And then use that path name for the connection of a database, so that way when I put my application on a different computer it will be able to still have access to the database.I'm using Visual Basic .net 2008 express.
