View 2 RepliesI am working on vb.net win form. My task is display the file names from a folder onto gridview control. when user clicks process button in my UI, all the file names present in gridview, the corresponding file has to be loaded onto memory stream buffer one after another and append the titles to the content of the file and save it in hard drive with _ed as a suffix to the file name.I am very basic programmer. I have done the following attempt and succeeded in displaying filenames onto gridview. But no idea of later part.
'Displaying files from a folder onto a gridview
Dim inqueuePath As String = "C:UsersDesktopINQUEUE"
Dim fileInfo() As String
[code]......
I don't know whether it is simple or not because i am new to programming. my requirement is : In my vb.net winform application, the filenames of the files present in "D:Project" willbe displayed in DataGridView1 control. Now I want to load these files one after another into memory stream buffer and add the headers("ID","Name","Class") to the content in the file. Then I want to save these files in "C:" with "_de" as suufix to the filename i.e.,sample_de.csv.

View 9 RepliesI have a user interface app that allows you to drag/drop in files - and it turns them into HttpListener request POST's to another EXECUTABLE that I have running - let's call it BACKEND1. BACKEND1 will be running on a SERVER when this gets ready for production use. Lots and lots of users running the UI - all dragging in files - all getting POST'ed to BACKEND1 - with the file included as a memory stream in the POST. BACKEND1 responds to the UI with a "sequential" file number assigned to the file centrally on the server.
On the SERVER is also running another EXECUTABLE - let's call it BACKEND2. It's job is to work with the DRAG'd in files. Both BACKEND1 and BACKEND2 sit on the same SERVER. At the moment I am writing the memory stream to DISK in BACKEND1 - and POSTing the FILENAME to BACKEND2 for it to work on. Would it be better to not write the file in BACKEND1 but instead include it in the POST to BACKEND2 - where it can be written to DISK? Is having LARGE HTTP REQUEST's a burden when sent between two EXECUTABLES on the same machine?
My primary goal is to have a really available BACKEND1 talking the the UI instances running out in the world. I'm concerned that doing the file i/o in BACKEND1 is "expensive" - and I don't care about the performance of BACKEND2 as much. just looking for opinions. I guess ultimately I'll have to bench mark this myself in a production environment to get a real answer.
I have a function that accepts a string and generates an email attachment based on that string. It works fine for html pages, text documents, and so forth but I can not get it to generate a PDF file.
Code:
Public Sub SendMail _
( _
ByVal strFrom As String _
[code]......
If I save the file attachment as Whatever.PDF i get the error that it was not encoded properly.I am using datadynamics active reports PDF exporter to generate the PDF
dim pdf as new datadynamics.activereports.export.pdf.pdfexport
sendmail("from@", "to@", "test", "test", pdf.tostring, "pdf.pdf")
I think the problem is I am converting the PDF to a string, and then trying to convert it back to a PDF and attach it to the email but I am not 100% sure.
I am using iTextSharp with VB.Net to stamp images onto PDF documents. (Since this is not language specific I tagged for C#, too.)I have two applications using the process.The first uses the bytes from the memorystream to display the PDF documents online. This piece is working. The second uses the same function but instead saves the PDF to a file. This piece generates an invalid PDF.
I have seen some similar questions, but they are all creating a document initially and have a document object in the code. Their memory streams are corrupt from the outset. My code does not have a document object and my original memory stream opens fine.
Here is the place where I get the error: (I have to put the buffer from m into a new memory stream because the stamper in the fillPDF function defaults to closing the stream unless marked otherwise.)
Dim m As MemoryStream = PDFHelper.fillPDF(filename, Nothing, markers, "")
Dim m2 As New MemoryStream(m.GetBuffer, 0, m.GetBuffer.Length)
Dim f As FileStream = New FileStream("C: emp.pdf", FileMode.Create)

I have a problem with the cryptostream, if i write the stream to a memorystream the memory that the stream used is still alocated and i have no way of unalocating it.what am i missingdoing wrong? im using-using on the streams,readers and crypto stuffs so the framework should shut them all down right? i tryed calling .close and .dispose but nothing ,in fact i moved it all over I have provided the sub that im using for the encrytion im in .net 4.5 so there is a lil async stuff but i know thats not the problem coz i moved this code out of my main app(.net 4) for testing to see if i could fix the problem.[code...]

I'm using the ShockwaveFlash ActiveX control in a VB.NET Windows Forms application and i'm wondering.Is it possible to load an SWF file into the ShockwaveFlash ActiveX object from a memory stream rather then from a file name?
I've noticed that the ActiveX object has such properties as "InlineData" and "MovieData", possibly these could be used.
I've also noticed someone has used Windows Messaging to send a pointer to a stream to the ActiveX control, has anyone seen this done?
I have an application that sends Bytes of data through UDP, these bytes are read from an AVI file when the client receives the bytes it builds the AVI file on another computer perfectly but I want to be able to use the received bytes to play the video from the stream. Does anyone know how I can play the video from a stream? I tried using DirectShow but I don't know how to use a stream as video let alone having AVI files play with DirectShow.
My main goal is to have the application slowly "buffer" the movie for the client as they watch.
im trying to get a memory stream to a textbox, the memory stream is of a .txt or .ini file that is extracted from a archive to a memory stream.Heres what ive got so far:
vb
Dim MSData As New System.IO.MemoryStream() Dim Infile As String = ComboBox10.SelectedValue 'The input archive Dim passww As String = TextBox1.Text 'Archive password Using extr As New SevenZipExtractor(Infile, passww) extr.ExtractFile("02.ini", MSData) End Using Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(MSData) Dim textSsS As String = sr.ReadToEnd() ini02.Text = textSsS
The problem is that ini02.text stays blank?

View 1 RepliesI'm writing some text to a memory stream and need to modify it once in the memory stream The reason I can't modify prior to adding to the memory stream is that it is from some 3rd party component. Here is an example:ms = New MemoryStreamdoc.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Html)I need to do some modification to the resulting text that ends up in ms. Is there a way to convert the contents of ms into a string, and then back into a memory stream once modified?

I have an application written in .NET 4.0 that needs to load in memory a native DLL (written C). At the moment I am using a P/Invoke call to LoadLibrary passing the path where the DLL is located. This works, but due to the fact that this DLL comes from a DB, I would like to know if it is possible loading it through a stream, avoiding then the necessity to store the DLL somewhere in the filesystem.

View 4 RepliesI'm using VB.Net, and I have a set of data which I have to able to filter through fairly quickly.Basically, the program is like google sugest, but instead of a drop-down menu, I'm using a listbox. When a user enters a word, I compare the word using LINQ and filter those that contain the user's input. The data are all strings of variable length (from 0 to 200 characters, most on 150 character mark), and I have 240,000+ of this strings and counting- all stored in an XML file.
A colleague of mine told me that loading all of that to memory (using VB.Net's XML serializer plus collections of string/objects) is not practical, and would slow the 'startup' time of the program. I haven't finished building the program yet and I'm having second thoughts about continuing this path.
So, my question is: Should I continue with my current approach on the problem (which is load everything to memory on startup), or is there a better way of solving my dilemma?
I have some questions about bitmaps and such. I am using the IDXSurfaceFactory::LoadImage Method to load an image and now I want to access its memory buffer, so I can do some direct memory manipulation and copy the content to another buffer afterwards (no BitBlit!). I managed to successfully use LoadImage, but I have no idea how to retrieve the pointer to the memory buffer and other informations. I want to basically know everything about, how and where the image is stored in the memory buffer.
Does windows always load images as BGR regardless of its original format? if not, how can I find out if the loaded image is stored as BGR or RGB. How can I find out how many bits each color has? How can I find out if the image is stored y-reversed? And if you load an indexed png for example, with one color marked as transparent, how can I find out which color is used for transparency?
in an winForm app in VS2010 win 7 compiling to x86, I try to do what Alvas.Audio seems to work. See (c# ex: [URL] for reference.
Dim data() As Byte = wr.ReadData(second * i, second)
The result give me data.length()=0. I do not have any exception, I can read format from it and whatever reader I use I got this problem.EDIT : After some tests, it seems like the uncompressed file I create in the first step (in PCM format, with .wav extension) can not be recognized by the Alvas.audio library for the second step. I must miss something around Audio file markups or something alike.
Here is the code that might be the source (basically this is step 1):
Dim functOut As String = String.Empty
Dim wr As Alvas.Audio.IAudioReader = Nothing
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = Nothing

I am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!
If i use a stream to modify few bytes in a file without changing the total number of bytes
