View 1 RepliesAlright here's my situation: I have a form. This is a very small form that can be moved with the mouse (formborderstyle=none). The transparencyKey is 0,0,1. The form back color is 0,0,1. There is a label on the form. I drag files to this label(its backcolor is black[0,0,0]). What I want is for the filesize to be checked.

View 5 RepliesWhen I store a binary file in a MS Sql table & then retrieve it & write it back to disk the new file is always 1 byte bigger than the original file, no matter what the file type. Is this normal? The files all open fine in their respective applications, but I'm just wondering where the extra byte comes from & if I'm doing something wrong in my code.

I'm attempting to get the size of a bunch of files located in a directory with an array. Using a single file, it works great. But as an array, I get an error. This is the code I was using:
VB .NET
Dim filepath() As String = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
Dim lvi As New ListViewItem
Dim fi As New FileInfo(filepath.ToString)
[code]....
It works... kind of. It adds each file to the ListView, when I just want the whole sum. I was hoping I could just use "DirectoryInfo" from the System.IO namespace, but everything I've been reading says I need to loop through the files.
i made this code
Dim strUserDir As String = Environ("USERPROFILE")
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles( _
strUserDir + "\AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5", _
[Code]...
But How can i make it show the file size of that folder? or the "foundfile" string?
I like to compress the xmldata before the data is provided to the client as an excel file. I am trying to compress and deliver it as a .zip file. its not working Here's my code below. I tried compressing it, converting it to bytes etc etc. The issue with below code is, the XSL transformation is not happening properly and the output excel file is raw xml with some .net exception at the end. (that's what I see on the .xls file that's downloaded at the end) Before I started working on compression my below code was working fine that gives properly formatted excel file from the xml input. the excel file is so nice you can't even tell it was from XML.

I have a question regarding multiple page printing. I know that it has to do with e.HasMorePages. I know that there has to be a condition that sets that flag to true and back to false or you get caught in a never ending print page loop. However, I have no idea where in my simple little print block here to implement that. As you can see I'm just printing a readline. Sometimes the file extends past a single page though depending on circumstances.
Dim strReader As StreamReader
strReader = File.OpenText("auditlog.txt")

Dim y As Integer = 10
Do While strReader.Peek <> -1

10, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, x, y)
y += 12
Loop
Language: vb.net
File size: 1GB, and stuff.
Encoding of the text file: UTF8 (so each character is represented by different numbers of bytes).
Collation: UnicodeCI (when several characters are essentially the same, the most popular version will be the one unique.). I think I know how to handle t his one.
Because each character is represented by different numbers of bytes and each line has different numbers of characters, the number of bytes in each line also vary.
I suppose we have to compute hash for each line. We also need to store buffers location where the line each. Then we have to compare buffers. Then we will check whether the same line shows up or not.

I'm working on a school project right now and I have everything fine except this one part of the project: "The audit and errorevent logs should be archived if they are larger than 5K and up you need to keep up to 3 copies of the files." I know how to read and write text files just fine, so I don't need help with that. What I don't know is how to archive a file based on file size, or how to keep up to 3 copies of the files?

View 3 RepliesI want to create an application where a user can create a file which is a certain file size. e.g. Two textboxes, one for Name of file and one for file size. When submit button is pressed, a file is generated from the textbox information. Here is what I have got so far:
Imports System.IO
Module Module1
Sub Main()
[Code].....
However this code is only for text files. I want users to be able to specify a file extension. The file doesn't need to work, it just needs to have a certain file size and a certain name. e.g. I can use this application to create the file Song1.mp3 which is 4567kb. It won't play because it is not a valid mp3 file which is fine, it doesn't have to.

I need to read and process a text file. My processing would be easier if I could use the File.ReadAllLines method but I'm not sure what is the maximum size of the file that could be read with this method without reading by chunks. I understand that the file size depends on the computer memory. But are still there any recommendations for an average machine?
View 3 RepliesHow i can copy a file from my computer to a folder on internet?
View 6 RepliesOkay, I will be passed in an internet address that resolves to a file of some type (.xml, .zip, .mp3, whatever). From inside my VB .NET 2005 program, I need to transfer the file down to the local machine... preferably with events so I can update the screen to show download progress. I also need a way to detect if the file specified by the user actually exists, and retrieve it's file size and compute an estimated download time.
