.net - Checking If A Specific Files Is Currently Open?
Jun 15, 2012
I was wondering if it was possible to check if the file "test.txt" is open? and if so then display a message that the file is in use? My biggest problem is that the file can be opened in notepad, word, excel etc. I have some basic coding, which checks if the file is open - what I am trying to do is check if the file is currently open and if its not in use then proceed with the coding, I have the following coding so far.
Dim Process() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
Dim Process2() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("word")
For Each p As Process In Process

Im working on a way to use a Select statement to set the image of a picture box.

The Select statement should work fine but the path to the file i want to open doesnt. Id love a way to reference the Pnt_GuideLat Cerv directory based on where my program gets installed on the Hard drive.

I'm working with a database application and i want to check if there is a null value in a specific column but it works only when its not null but if its null it throws an exception automatically. I tried to change the null value property of this column but I'm not able it shows a message that its not a valid property. I tried to change the source code in the code editor but it changes back automatically. Is there a way that I can work around this?

I'm making a Visual Basic GUI application to display whether a number of my ports are open for people to know whether things like my website and my Minecraft server are open.My problem is I have absolutely no idea how to do this in Visual Basic.Basically, I'm asking for something which sends a signal to an IP with a specific port, if it is open then return true, if it's closed, return false. Similar to: http:[url]....

So im trying to get evything that has ends with .iso into a list box, tryed a couple of things but not getting anywhere as yeat
Here is code.
Dim Locate As String = Application.StartupPath & "\Games\"
ListBox1.Items.Add(Locate.EndsWith("*.iso"))
The Locate String is there because thats the location where the iso files are but the application is in the root of the drive. The ListBox1 command is fairly easy to understand

Basically what I want to do is create a program that every now and then (maybe 10 minutes) switches between either, all the windows currently open, or a selection of all the windows currently open, then checks the colour of a location on the screen. At the moment I have the program checking the colour at a specific coordinate, so that's all good. The problem I have now is how to switch between windows.
I've thought up a few ways to do this. The windows that I care about checking all have the same name, the same process class, but different process IDs. I already managed to stick all the process IDs into an array of integers hoping that I could use them but I don't have a clue how to bring a window to front using just the process ID. So the first method would work if I could figure out a way to do that.
My second idea, which is a pretty rubbish way of doing it, would be to simply simulate pressing Alt+Tab however many times to change between windows.

In VB6 I had to always check if the port was open or not. But with VB.NET and the new Serial Port control I don't see any.If SerailPort1.Open then statements. In fact when I tried to use the code I got Expression does not produce a value.So does this mean that we no longer have to check to make sure the port closed?Is there a way to check if the port is open or not?

I have this code for checking if 1 file exists (binPath is already declared):
Dim filename1 As String = "OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe"
Dim U As Boolean = System.IO.File.Exists(binPath + filename1)
If U = False Then[code]....
However, I need to check if another five files exist too. Should I just copy the above code another 5 times, or is there a more efficient way of doing it?

Making a system to check for files existing in a network (for our tv address system, pawn shop stuff)Anyway, the command1 checks if d1.txt exists, then d2.txt and fills out the boxes, Instead of 10000 if statements?
Below is example of my current code
Private Sub Command1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Command1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Text1.Text + "d1.txt") Then
d1.Checked = True
[code]....
Basically it's a bunch of check boxes, that check if the corrosponding file exists

I have added reference to few dlls in my VB.net Project. When I check into Visual source safe and get latest version from another machine, VS.net 2008 throws errors.I have to add the references again in that new machine. Is there anyway where I can keep the references in spite of files checked in to VSS?I need to send copy all the files to production server and we don't have VS.net on the production box to add reference and build the application.

MsgBox ("Welcome", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Welcome")

Unless someone knows of a way to do this already in windows, what's the best method for (using a background worker) checking all of the files & subfolders in a folder against another folder in an external usb hdd?
I'd like it to copy only the files that's changed since the last backup, and it'd be nice if I could right-click on a folder (which i can easily google this one, it's a common thing) and select my program and it'd pop up a window to get the destination (since the source is known from the windows context menu) and only copy (overwriting the existing files/folders) that've changed since the last backup.

I'm making a program that will allow people to enter a URL, click on a button and the URL will open in 6 different browsers. Now I can't figure out how to open a specific browser with a specific URL.
I know this though:
process.start(browserpath)
This will just open up the browser, but how can I open the browser with a specific URL?

I am developing an application with a number of windows forms. The first form I designed is the one that opens when I run the program. This was fine all during the development and testing.
Now I want to add a Login form but can't figure out how to get it to be the opening form when a user starts the program.
