I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
View 1 RepliesI've written a piece of software which extracts information from the web and stores it all to a local SQL Server database which all works well. However, I now want to add additional functionality where any user can go in and create a template which would be run when every synch has complete which would save as an HTML file. I've set up whole thing. Information is stored in a backend XML file which is processed when the synch completes. However, I want this information to check delimeters in the string and process it as code.
View 2 RepliesI have been building a Web Application (ASP.NET, .NET Framework 4, VB, visual studio 2010). To be very brief the application interacts with a database and performs several actions (Insert Delete Select etc..).I am using several Gridviews, ListBoxes etc and I am not happy with the presentation outcome and the functionality provided by asp.net. In simple words my application looks bad, outdated and unprofessional.I figured that using Windows Forms that will be incorporated to the ASP ap.I have created a Windows Form Control Library to use the dll created in my app as a user control. I found out that this is not supported in .NET Framework 4 (is this true? or am i doing something wrong?). Is there any way to make my application have the 'look and feel' of a windows application? Please note that it is has to be a web app and the clients should not have to download any other application to interact with the server.
View 2 RepliesI have added a minimize to tray function into my webbrowser and it makes use of the notify icon control. Now I know my code isn't flawed as it works in vista in xp but not in 7 (The icon simply is not in the tray).

NotifyIcon.Text = ("Xtreme Browser, Current User: " + Current_User)
NotifyIcon.Visible = True
nothing
View 2 RepliesThis is probably a pretty novice design question. I'm trying to work my way through a number of requirements and give the users the experience they're looking for.I've written a tool that does big calcluation-type things. It currently consists of a class library and command line tool (separate .NET projects.) We're using an Access database format as the file type because it can keep all the various tables together in one file. A few other items about the application: There are not many users. There are no concerns with scalability. There are not great concerns with updates. Desktop is desired. Not web.Using VB and .NET 3.5 SP1
I now need to develop a GUI front end that will allow typical File/Open and File/Save type operations.Users expect that they can open a file, edit it some, then either choose to save it or close it unsaved without any changes being written back to the file. Saving it would obviously save all changes affecting all tables back to the file.
Does it then make sense to use a temp file for something like a proxy then? To, when a user "opens" a file, copy the source Access file to a local temp file and then use that for the editing session? Then, if the user "saves", copy the local temp file back to the source path?
Update: [tagged with ms-access tag too] Also, I omitted the fact that users would expect typical File / Save As functionality too. I think the design I've put in question in this post is what is traditionally called the Proxy design pattern. Has anyone tried this (successfully!) with Access database files before? Words of caution or advice?

I'm trying to implement printing functionality into a simple program for my company. It's not necessary, but it would be a nice finishing touch for everyone. And really, in practice, my printing feature works. My problem is that each line is printed on a separate page of paper and I can't find a way to just like, print a page.
It doesn't have to be fancy. I know that I won't need word wrap, nor will anyone ever print more than one page. Here's my ginked & modified code thus far:
Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim linesPerPage As Single = 0

I need to set up a small program/script that can test simple web functionality.I already have a window that automatically load the right URL.

Then log out, wait for five minutes and then refresh the site and run again.
View 2 RepliesI want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.
How do I go about overriding the default functionality when a user clicks the X in a VB.NET form-based application? I am currently handling the MyBase.Closing event... but since it's a DirectX app, I need to do some cleanup before allowing the form the close.
