.net - Equivalent Of "Open FileName For Output As #1" VB6 To .NET?
Mar 12, 2012
I have another chunk of VB6 code that seems to need some workaround for .NET. For a shortened version, this is all it is doing:
[Code]...
And so on, and so forth. You can see it keeps repeating itself to create new lines. The question is, is how do I implement the same thing in .NET?

I have this snippet in Java:
final InetAddress address = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
final NetworkInterface ni = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(address);
key = new String(ni.getHardwareAddress());
"key", on my PC returns:
▲╔UiÎ
What would be the equivalent to get the same output in VB.Net? I have tried getting 'MAC Address' and 'Physical Address' but they do not compare to the output in Java at all?

I am using this line of code to open some files from a CD.
Dim f As FileStream = New FileStream(FILENAME, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, 8192)
Everything was working great until i found some files from an Unix CD that have colons on its filename.
"D:Perl5-32PERL-MANoptperl_32manman3ActivePerl::Config.3"
When trying to open this file i get an exception. Is there another method i could open this file on Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7?

Using vb.net 2008 I have a form with a PDFViewer control. I pass the filename and path to open the pdf. When the form is closed, AcroRd32.exe is not destroyed. It remains in Task Manager even after I've completely closed the application. The more pdf files I open, the more memory used. How can I destroy? I've tried setting the control = nothing, ctrl.dispose but neither is working. What am I doing wrong?

Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

I'm just going to throw all my code in here in case there's something wrong with a piece of the code not in the "SelectName()" sub.
Module Module1
Dim selectednames As String = ""
Dim index As Short = 0
Dim inarray As Boolean = False
[code]....
Here's an image of what it does (I suppose you can see what went wrong)13 inputs, 3 outputs expected, only 1 output given.As from what I've figured out so far, it's doing the correct amount of loops etc. It's just as soon as it starts generating the "winner" for the 2nd game key it doesn't get a string value from namesarray.Also, why is
For x = 0 To totalnames - 1
Debug.Print("namesarray(" & x & ") = " & namesarray(x))
Next

I'm trying to figure out how to get the file name of the application at run time, in case it gets renamed.Also, as a easter-egg. First post, I don't know what code to put but this is how I am so far, the {FN} is where I need the file name.
If({FN} = "easter.exe") Then

I often use things like the crosshatch in filenames to group them together. Until recently this has not been a problem.
I am working modifing a WPF app which uses a Listbox to store images. I need the full path of the image to feed to a class to retrieve metadata.
The test image is named "# Canon-ixus.jpg".
Using Listbox.SelectedValue to return the filename I get "%23 Canon-ixus.jpg". There are not a whole lot of options to returning the name of the selected item from the Listbox.
Is there any simple way to get the name back to its original form?

I have a directory with more then 350.000 files in. I need to process every single file and move them to an other folder. When I use the dir() method it takes a few seconds before if it returns the first file found.
dim foundfile as string = dir("d:")
In the documentation there is this:
"The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than the Dir function. See My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo Method for more information."
But I can't find any method that is faster then dir, and gives the same result. I can't use this method below because it takes for ever to load......
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:")
Next
It just does not work fast...
When I use the Dir() method it takes like 5 sec, and it uses 100% cpu... it is just not a option. How do I get the same function as the dir method but better performance? (I use visual basic 2008).

In the XP SaveFileDialog, the user is allowed to set the SaveFileDialog.FileName.
I'm using Vista operating system and am using the VistaBridgeLibrary.dll so that I can get the Vista version of the Dialog Boxes. With the CommonSaveFileDialog (for Vista dialog), I'm unable to set the FileName property since it's read only.
Is there a way to populate the FileName so that when the DialogBox displays the filename in use is displayed?

There is no editor available for '<filename>'.Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.I got this message after I updated a VB08 project to VB10. I tried to open a form when this message was shown. It happens to every form in the group (but not standard classes).

I have a Form that load the contents of a txt type file into a textbox1. How can I use the filename to fill in a label?For example, when I open the file Name1.txt, the textBox2 need to display Name1 only as a type of header.
Alternatively, is there a code that make the first line of a Multiline Textbox to display a different font or size ?
