.net - Adding Text Files To Project
Dec 17, 2011
I have developed a VB.NET application that generates code in a specific format. It has a multitude of features and everything works great. I recently added the ability to save generated code to a text file as well as the ability to load those text files into the application. I am looking to add one last feature (perk). I want to include a bunch of pre-coded text files with the application, that new users can load and use immediately. As of right now I have the application creating the directory they will go in, but can't find anything on how to include the text files and have them placed in that directory. This application uses one-click deployment (in case that matters).

I am adding all of my files as resources into my project (so they will work on another computer) however, I have some videos that I added as a resource for playing with AxVLC and I can't seem to figure out how to get them to work. I'm getting an error :Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'AxAXVLC.AxVLCPlugin'.

how to add the resources but how would I call them in the code? For example I created a picturebox then I added all the pictures I want. If I wanted to display a different one how would i do it in code?

Form1 has 2 public string variables defined and initialized to "" (an empty string).Form2 has 2 text boxes and a button. When the button is clicked the public variables on Form1 get set to the values in the text boxes.This works fine.I recently had to add a module to my project so that I could use Main as the startup item. Ever since doing that the above no longer works.The variables never get set to the values in the text boxes. They just stay empty.My Main code is simply this for now:
Dim f As New Form1
Application.Run(f)

Is there an easy way to edit the code below so that it copes (works the same) if the embedded resource is not a plain text file, but a compressed text file?
Dim tempList() As String
tempList = My.Resources.ENABLE.Split({Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None)
For Each strWord In tempList
enableFullList.Add(New Words(strWord))
Next
I have seen System.IO.Compression but can't work out what to do, DeflateStream, GZipStream etc.

I'm working in this application in Visual Basic Studio 2010 I have a combobox where user select phone model and textbox where a text file is loaded when user select model, I added text files to the project resource because I don't want to put them in files in the root directory of my application
[IMG][/IMG]
what I need is a code to make text box load the text file wich have the same name of selected in combobox for example when user selct : CT-810 in combobox the text file with name: CT-810 must be loaded in the text box and so on for other combobox records

Several times av been come across of the need of how to create new variables on my application while is running and the next time i will run again the application to be existed in my source code and still be inside.
what excatly i mean is for example i have a listbox with out assigne it in any databound ,or retreive any items from any textbox i just want to insert some items inside
if i go from the designer then i can succesfully add any item i want and they will be there as i declare them.but if i want to to that programmatically i will be able to add them in the listbox but the next time i will run it again it will be lost.until i will select the command again to fill my listbox which is not what i want
in my case i have a datagridview which is running SQL querys and i want if the user selects to save this query i want from some way to save this query string in my listbox . and i want to be there the next time i will run my application with out using any text file or database,
is there any way to that ? i have search before i ask but obviusly my keywords dosen't much with what i was looking for

Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.

On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.

I am compiling and importing this multicolumncombo box class. I am able to run the demo program that comes with it without a hitch. However when I compile it for release and include the /obj/Release/CodeSamples.dll as a reference in my C# project, the examples won't work any more. Specifically, selecting an item doesn't work. I can add and display items properly, but when I click on an item, in the VB project it displays the first column's value, in the C# project, it doesn't display anything.

add some sound files to a project. When the program installs it will also make a folder (named "Sounds") and place the sound files there. The idea is that the user should be able to add more sound files here.I have added the sound files through my project properties window esources. In the solution explorer I added a new folder called "sounds", and placed my sound files there.Now, I thought that I could use this code to access my files
Application.StartupPath & "soundslip.wav"
This is not working.

Over and over i keep getting stuck on the idea of adding references to a project. I was looking about visual studios 2010, i clicked the project menu tab, and then scrolled to add reference. When i would click on it, it would bring up a large list to choose from. So, my issue is as follows. I am told to reference via my compile error message a few items. I thought i found the elements i was looking for and pressed OK. When i would try to run, it would still give me the errors.
What am i doing wrong? Am i not doing something correct?
here is my error code, and i looked it up, but for some reason, as stated above, i must not be referencing correctly?

I have a visual basic 2010 project with a solution. When I double click the solution the project opens. I cannot see the solution file. I am trying to add an existing project to my solution but I am having trouble.How do I add an existing project to an existing solution?
In VB 2005 if I double click the solution the solution opens with the project underneath it. But in VB 2010 they have made it complicated apparently.

I've added a C# project to my VB.NET solution and I'm trying to access all of the classes and namespaces within that C# project.However, I'm not having any luck. I've never had to do this before, so I'm a bit lost.After adding the project, I tried importing the namespace from it. When I do, I just get the green squiggly telling me that the namespace doesn't have any public members or couldn't be found.Since it does have public members, I'm assuming it's the latter issue.So is there anything I need to do in order to access besides just adding it?

For some reason, I am having trouble adding the WinHttp dll to my vb.net project. I tried changing the framework from 3.5 to 2 but that didnt change anything. When I try to add the COM component as a reference to the project I get this Error.
A reference to 'Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1' could not be added. This is not a COM component. I'm using vista 64 bit and I made sure the register the dll when I added it to the system32 folder.

I have a project that as a standalone runs perfectly. There are a number of routines, forms etc. that I want to incorporate into another solution that I have created. Each time I try, it will load in the new project, but if I try to access anything by clicking on it, one of two things happens, either VS crashes and then restarts OR I get 100+ designer errors thrown.
