.net - VS 2008 Addin Copies And Renames Form Files, Gets Duplicate Members Errors Despite Rename
Jul 14, 2011
I have a VB.NET project in Visual Studio 2008 that I created a specialized addin for. The addin prompts the user to select a database table, takes a template form class's files, copies them to another directory within the project, and renames the form class within the copied files. It then opens the new form and adds controls to it based on the fields in the database table.
The copying of the template form causes the background compiler to give 'duplicate member' errors, such as "Private Sub InitializeComponents(...) has multiple definitions with identical signatures," even though I renamed the files of the new form and the class name within them. Sometimes these errors go away before the new form is opened, but when they stick around the new form doesn't open correctly, and it throws an error instead. I implemented some code to wait until there are zero errors in the error list before trying to open the new form. This has helped sometimes, but for some reason sometimes the errors don't go away at all until the addin is closed.
How to copy the template form and rename the copy without the background compiler ever noticing duplicate members. If that's not possible, then perhaps someone has an alternative?
Here is my code that copies and renames the template form:
Private Sub CreateDataForm(ByVal tableName As String, ByVal displayName As String) ', ByVal subDataForms As IList(Of Object))
Try
Dim dataFormClassName As String = "frm" & MakeValidName(displayName)
Dim dataFormFileName As String = dataFormClassName & cVBSuffix

copy a form without getting Duplicate reference errors that you would have to fix.So This is what i did and i felt i should share it now that i figured it out
File > Export Template > Item Template > Select Form To Copy
Then
Solution Explorer > Right Click on project title > Add Item > Select Exported Template > Rename file > Add Item

I am trying to create a program that renames files to 1 - (however many files are in the folder) and also convert .pngs to .bmps, I had done this but I messed it up a little. I am not that experienced with VB.Net but I am looking to learn so any help would be great. I have tried this myself but as you can see in the code I've gone the wrong way about it.

I have a Combobox in a Windows form that has a DateTime value as the Display Member and the Room Number as the Value member. When the user makes a selection in the combobox, a textbox is populated with the corresponding room number. There are some instances in the combobox where there are identical Display Member values. When a user selects one of the duplicate values and moves the mouse cursor away from the combobox, the combobox always defaults to the first of the duplicate items.
Example:
Here are the values that are currently populated in the combobox:
Display Member Value Member
02/25/2010 9:00AM 1
02/25/2010 9:00AM 2
If the second listing in the combobox is selected (the item with the value member of 2), and then the user clicks away from the combobox, the value default to Value Member 1.
Is there anyway to keep duplicate display members in a combobox while keeping the proper value member selected?

I am trying to change the file names of all the files in a directory based on content of the file. So I am opening the file, reading the content, storing the new file name in a variable and then trying to change the name of the file. This is not working because when I start this loop I am opening the file and viewing it so it won't allow me to change while the file is in use. Should I store the old and new file names in an array and do the renames after the For Next Loop is complete?

in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

i have 2 listviews in which folder and files are loaded. i'm trying to make a function that, when "Copy" button is pressed copies files/ folders between listviews (between folders "ex: from "D:path" to "E:pathsubpath"). the codes of file copy and folder copy both work but not if add the file.exists / folder.exists lines. if i put a msgbox instead of the filecopy/ foldercopy it displays "file exists" or "folder exist" etc. .. but if add the file copy / folder copy line doens't do nothing.

I'm trying to get a progress bar to work while it copies all files in a folder to another. I've gotten the progress bar to show and display the progress, but during the copying process the app stops displaying anything if I click away and won't display anything until it finishes copying everything. It just freezes with a ghost image in the form while it's copying. How do I prevent the app from freezing during the copying process? I can't even minimize it or move the window around. I hope I made sense. Here's my code.
Dim Files = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(.SelectedPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.*")
Dim i As Integer

I have a script task inside a for each file loop which moves files from one directory to another. It uses the file.move command which works fine unless the file I am moving already exists in the destination directory. I would like to add the datetime string to the filename before moving it or alternatively an incremental variable to make the filename unique before its moved.

A while back I asked about going beyond basic FTP upload/download on this thread, and the response I got about using FtpWebRequest was very helpful. Now I'm looking at something that doesn't seem to be offered in FtpWebRequest: renaming a file on the server.
My situation: several times each month I update MyConfig.csv on my website. This file is generated on my computer by Excel to control who can access which files on the site, and it runs a bit over 1 MB. The scripts on the server parse through the file to keep things running smoothly. Given that the file can take some time to transfer, I typically will upload NewMyConfig.csv to the server with a commercial FTP program, then when it is in place I rename the existing file to MyConfigBackup20100521.csv and then rename NewMyConfig.csv to MyConfig.csv. This way, if there is a problem with the upload, everything keeps running smoothly because the existing MyConfig is undisturbed, and the window when a customer might get an error from the scripts because there is no MyConfig.csv is reduced to a couple of seconds between the two rename operations.
Now I'd like to automate all of this to happen with a VB program, but it looks like FtpWebRequest only allows you to rename directories, not individual files, on the server.

I have a program that I have been creating for work, however, I am down to the last part and can't figure it out......The code below copies files from one directory to another from a list of file names in the first column of an excel sheet. This part works fine. What I am trying to figure out is how can I have a prefix in column B where it renames the file while being copied to the destination folder?
Example:
Column A
