I wanted to know if it is possible to Zip a folder without any external dll nor any external references - just with native features.I've been able to Zip files with System.IO.Packaging, but it does not include folders and I cannot tell it to Zip the parent folder.I know there are external dll and so, but I'd like to know if it's possible to make it from a native way.

I have a function in an external library, for which I do not have the source code, which is causing problems. If I were putting in a breakpoint in my own code, I would put it on the first line of the function, but as it is an external function, I do not have that option. Is there any way to as Visual Studio to break any time the function is called? My current workaround is to do a "Find All References" and put an individual breakpoint on every single call to the function, which is a sucky way of doing things.

View 1 RepliesThere are tons of examples of how to access the process environment block (PEB) from C++ code but I'm wanting to do it from VB.NET and am seriously struggling.I call NtQueryInformationProcess and get a Process_Basic_Information structure back from that which has a member named PebBaseAddress and this holds a pointer to the PEB (I have verified that this member does hold a valid pointer at runtime). The problem is that when I try to read data from the address that this pointer references I just get nothing. One important thing to mention is that it works fine if I try to use it on my own process, its just when I try and read the PEB for an external process that it gives me no data. I've enabled the SeDebugPrivilege (and confirmed it is enabled for my process in Process Explorer) but this made no difference. I've also tested it on Windows XP x86 as I'm currently testing on Windows 7 x64 but XP had the exact same issue, only sometimes the XP one would just crash completely with a memory access violation and thats the other thing, I am getting fairly inconsistent results - even on the Windows 7 machine sometimes I end up with no data but other times I get memory access violation errors, and other times I get the data for my process even when I have passed in the handle of a different process..
View 2 RepliesI want to develop a function that will return the external [public] IP from my router.

I have a quick, yet simple (i think?) question. How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of: myApplication:command=commandValue

i am creating a visual basic program, which acts as a very simple GUI for another program. I have built the whole Visual Basic project, but i am unable to do one part, the most important part you could say.I have a button(button1) on a form, when the button is clicked, i want it to run a program, named 'mover.exe' which is located in the SAME FOLDER that my visual basic program will run from. The directory of this folder will change. So, there are two problems..i have:
1 - to make the program run the .exe program when button1 is clicked (it also must be run with administrative privelages).
2 - to make the program always look for 'mover.exe' in the folder in which it is started from.
I have a visual basic file with a number of functions I want to use inside my XSL. I can build it as a dll and reference in my XSL project but I don't know how to reference it in my XSL file. I am using visual studio.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a program and the final step in it is to run an external exe. This particular exe is a video game exe. What happens is the code will run fine, the game starts up, and right when the screen blinks to go into the game, the game stops stops. I don't even get to the logos in the beginning.
This game in particular is Star Wars Battlefront II, and I'm trying to run the main game file (BattlefrontII.exe). I've tried TONS of ways to try and get this work.

So I have my form, I add one combobox (combobox1) and a button that says "Launch..."Button 1's
Process.Start(ComboBox1.SelectedItem)
When you select a program from the combobox (combobox1) and click launch, it launches that program, for example, cmd.exe (command prompt) when I click the button, it launches the command prompt, but if I select a game (for example chess.exe, for vista), it says it can't find the file, this is because the search for the file is only: WindowsSystem32, how can I change that? OR, how can I add a reference that searches the WHOLE Disk, not just WindowsSystem32?
How do you maximize a external minimized application that is already running?

I have a DLL that I made in FORTRAN to do some number crunching. It works in VB6 and in VBA within Excel. But I cannot get it to work in VB2008 or VB2010. If I try to access it the subroutines in the DLL I get either, 1) Structure of DLL invalid error or 2) Cannot find the DLL error.
Here is my VB2010 code for a smaller demo app that came with the FORTRAN development system. Again, this works with VB6 and VBA but not with VB.net

how to center an external app on the screen, an example would be Adobe Reader, using either Process.Start or Shell. I've 'attempted' both but haven't found anything to control the position.

View 3 RepliesI have looked all over for an answer to this question and have failed to find one. I have two applications. App1: I have no control over anything in this application aside from standard user inteface options. (Enter text, apply, ok) Someone else has created this program and I have no direct access to the database or any code. I can not make any changes to this application.App2: This is the application that I am currently creating. All changes will need to be made here.I currently have a program set up to copy information from App2 to App1. A user clicks a button in App2 and then goes to App1 and hits F8. App2 is waiting to get F8 and when it does it proceeds to use a series of sendkeys to enter the information from App2 into App1.Question 1: Is there a better way to get info from App2 into App1?I am trying to "smarten" my program up a bit. I would like it to read fields from App1 and compare them to certain variables and then do an action. I have tried to use sendkeys to copy from App1. This sometimes works, and other times the clipboard says object not collected it is not a valid format. So this method is obviously not reliable enough for me.Question 2: How do I copy data from a text box in App1? Sendkeys seems to not work. Again, keep in mind that I don't know textbox names in App1 so as far as I know, I can't do anything like textbox1.copy.
