View 5 RepliesI am going to show you how to create a browsefolderdialog. All this does it popup to the user and let them choose a folder.
For this you need:
1 Button
1 Textbox
Double click your button and add in the
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim BrowseFolder As New FolderBrowserDialog
[CODE]........
This sets your textbox1.text to what ever folder is selected. After that you can do whatever you want with your selected folder. This is how it will work when you are done: [URL]
i created a form with a combobox that lists out Assignments ( assignment 1, assignment 2, etc...)......what i need to do is let the user choose an assignment, then the program should look for the matching text file in a folder, ex: user picks assignment 1, and the program will read from assignment1.txt and display the result in a listbox. I have everything except the coding to match what the user chooses and the text file to streamread.

What I mean is if the user resizes the program from looking vertical, to looking horizontal, that the form resizes with it and some parts don't just disappear.

View 3 RepliesI created a Visual Studio 2005 application that works and installs on other user's computers, but not the way I want.
1. I want to create a single file that I can distribute to any user so when he clicks it, the application will be INSTALLED.
2. When it installs, it chooses to do in its own location. It does not give the user an option to save or install in a specific folder (where the application will be used because other files are there). How do i allow the user to save the the application in a specific folder?
3. I would like a single file that the user clicks to RUN the application. Is that the in*.exe?
My application needs to be able to be pointed at different SQL Servers and different databases and I would like to provide the end user with a nice method of selecting both the server and database (the app is for use by other IT staff).Ideally, I was thinking of allowing them to browse to the server (with possibly entering credentials or even better, using their Windows credentials as the databases in question should be accessible to the relevant people via their AD account), and then listing the databases on that server allowing them to select one to use.
I would like them to then be able to easily change the server and database whenever necessary.I imagine I would then need to build the connection strings based on what they select but at the moment I have got rather stuck in just trying to create a form with some kind of Server Browser (I've not got as far as a database browser!).Failing some kind of server/database browser options, I would change to some simple text boxes where the user can enter the name of the server and database directly with some kind of connection verification button.
Finally, is it easy to connect to multiple databases on the same SQL Server at the same time? Is it just a case of creating and referencing multiple connection strings?I am using VB 2008 Professional and SQL Server 2005 Standard.
I am trying to create an application where you can browse to a folder, press install button and it will copy some files to the directory of your choosing? I found some example code but how do i go on with my code from here? Cant figure out how to copy the files. You can see at last in the code i tried to copy files but its not really working, how do i use the function? I want the files to come from the application directory. And copy to the browsed folder.

View 3 RepliesI am already familliar with applying an image to a form background. My application has many in it, but I want to give the user the option of browsing for an image of their own to apply to a form. I don't intend to save the images as defaults or anything. Just the option to browse and apply to a form.
