Make And Read From USB Hidden Partition?
Feb 2, 2012I am working on some USB (flash drive) software which i want to make portable and always accessible on USB i know .net is not good for this because much users don't have framework installed but users who use this software have it installed and i just love VB.net :)
So what i want to do is to create a hidden partition on this USB device where software will store some info and itself. The software and data it stores is 6MB so i would also like to know the suggestions from you what size of this hidden partition can and i should make.
But:
how do i read from hidden partition through .net?
(i did never confront with this till now...) how i make hidden partition through .net?
I want this because users i working this for usually format their drives and that way they delete the software too, so hidden folder and encrypting doesn't help me in this.

Run A File From A CD If You Don't Know What The CD Drive Letter Is?
Sep 13, 2010I'm creating a small program using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I'm planning to place the program on a CD, along with the files I want to run. The program will have command buttons, and each button will open a different file.For example, if there is a file on the CD named ReadMe.txt, the user will be able to open it using the program, which is on the same disc as "ReadMe", by clicking the corresponding button (or link) ("ReadMe".)The problem is, that I don't know what the CD drive letter will be. Is there a code to make the program run a file which is in the same location as the program?

File Cannot Be Accessed As Another Process Is Accessing File
Mar 10, 2009I've been stuck on this for 3 days now.I have a TiffBitmapDecoder accessing a file and generating a BitmapSource from one of the frames in the file. If I try and modify the file after that e.g. insert new frame or even delete file, I'm informed that the file cannot be accessed as another process is accessing the file.How do I either a) Get the TiffBitmapDecoder to release the file or B) force all processes that have access to a file to release?Note: I'm using WPF and the TiffBitmapDecoder does not have standard fileStream methods like close, dispose or flush.

Accessing A XML File In VS 2008?
Feb 11, 2010I Am a new developer in VS 2008. I am writing a small program that reads an XML file. Here is a snipet of code.
filename =
"XMLPolicyList.xml"
Dim DR As XmlTextReader = Nothing
[code]....
My understaning is that the system looks for the file in the bin/debug folder, so that is where I put it. But when executing this program. I always get a FileNotFoundException. The file name displayed is (filename). If I hard code the entire directory name and file name I get the same error and the file name is displayed with the same slash in front of it. For instance I put the file on the C drive and the error displayed C:(filename).I don't have the problem in older versions of Visual Studio. The same program runs fine in VS 2003. I'm thinking that there must be some sort of setting within VS 2008, but I have been unable to find it.
