Always Save Specific File Type In Windows To One Location?
Apr 14, 2012
I'm trying to do the following I'm not sure if it's possible using VB.NET. I want to specify default saving point for all files type for example: In my program you choose the path "C:UsersMarkusPictures" for pictures and everytime you download pictures files from website, or using skype or any other program when Save File Dialog opens up (external one not via my program or connected to vb.net just the windows default one) then it will show "C:UsersMarkusPictures" always for .jpg .gif type of files etc...
how to save data (for example some text that user type [as password etc]) and save that password on same location where is application. After saving I want to have also Load option so we can load saved data.
I have the following code used to enter the name of a text file and then display it in a richtextbox. This is working but I would like it so that I could take out the initial part of the filename detailing the location of the filename to simply set it to the project folder, is there any way of doing this using the App.path function?
My code is as follows:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I finished every piece of code in my program save for one tid bit, how to pull two numbers from a text file. I know how to pull lines, I know how to pull search strings, but I cant figure out this one to save my life.[code]The two numbers that I need out of this are the two ones that I put in the **'s (the asterisks are not normally there). These numbers will be different every time this sheet is generated, and the number placement might be different as well as some of the numbers could have 4 digits, 5 digits, or 6 digits.

What is the best and fastest way to find the exact location(Drive/Folder) of a specific file, without scanning the whole drive. Right now, I am using those two instructions to locate EXCEL.EXE so I can properly call it with a shell command.[code]It is quite a long process, and I have to deal with some access denied folder like System Volume Information. I am quite new to VB programming.
i just want to ask how can i save the file location or directory of a file in mysql without deleting its slashes...i tried to save it directly.. for example: the original directory is c:folderimg.jpg and when i checked it on mysql it is save as c:folderimg.jpg
I am loading a KJV.rtf file at program startup into RichTextBoxDisplay. When I want to select, lets say, Matthew Chapter 1, I want the program to take me to Matthew Chapter 1. I know I could just load a seperate file into the rtbDisplay, but do you know how many chapters and books are in the Bible..
I'm using a OpenFileDialog to choose a file from the folder and displaying the path on a textbox. I have another save button, I want when I click on the save button the selected file(the path is currently in the box) duplicates the file into another folder. How can I duplicate the folder and can I use SaveFileDialog?? Here is the codes of OpenFile Dialog. I have t
Private Sub OpenFile_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdBrowseFile.Click Dim myStream As Stream = Nothing
so far the file is written and saved in a very specific location but I can`t figure for the life of me how I would use SaveFileDialog to save the .txt file elsewhere also....
I'm new to this forum and new to programming (literally just a week or so). I'm trying to write a program that uses a combo box selection accompanied with a button that when pressed, will download a file off a website, save it to my desktop and the run itself.[code]The thing I want my code to do is to universally be able to save the file to the desktop of any windows OS a user may be using. I'm going to end up having people using XP, Vista and Win7 use this application and each of those I believe have a different root to reach the desktop. Instead of having to hard code each and every scenario, there must be an easier way, right?Can you guys help me figure out what the syntax is for getting the users windows username and desktop location so that no matter what OS they're using, the file will always be downloaded to their desktop?

well I want it to look like this: [Textbox] [Browse] [Start] So you click browse, find the exe file, click ok(or something like that) and then click start I also want to make it so it saves the location of the last exe file it started, so you dont have to browse for it every time you use the program.
I have a read only file and I am using System.Diagnostics.Process to open the file.If a user tries to save the file the "Save As" dialog box opens because the file is read only. The "Save As" dialog box brings them to the directory from where the file was opened from.
I have used the following code too save a notepad file; [Code] The code saves files but only in the 'Application.StartupPath' folder, the save dialogue starts in the correct place a quizzes folder inside the debug folder but files can't be saved here or in folders inside it, even though you can browse them in the dialogue. I want it saving where navigated to in the dialogue.
How can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.
I am creating a windows service in VS2010, and in order to store a user's input during installation I've been told to write it to a file called app.config.However i cannot find this app.config file? Does it create one in a windows service project? or just in a WCF windows service project?
Is there anyway to save a thumbnail of an image, then save it so that, when viewed through My Computer, the thumbnail is displayed for the file. Basically, what I mean is to do something similar to the way you can see a preview of a pdf file, or Microsoft Word file, or Microsoft Expression Design file. I want to be able to open the file's containing folder, then switch to thumbnail view, and the thumbnail will be displayed as the image for the file.
I am busy with a Project that need to read and write txt files. I have found noumeorous tutorials on how to work with txt files, but none of them explain or or have an example how to do the following:

I'm doing a project now. I'm having a problem on getting specific file type from my computer using the .getfiles function.
Here's my codes.

Dim filepath as String = "C:" dlgOpen.CheckFileExists = True

What I wanted to happen is when the openfiledialog prompted and once I've selected the file, the file information I've specified above must show on the application as a label. But nothing appears. The file name only appears on the text box beside the open button. It should also appear above the button and the text box as a label. How could i possibly do that? And how could I select just one file at a time from a folder with 150 other files in it? When I use getFiles, it only gets all at the same time everything that's in the folder even if i've only just selected one file.
1.) I dragged my detail view over to the form window to create a bindingnavigator, fields, etc.When I press save on the form, the database is temporairly saved.However, if I save my visual basic project, I lose all the changes I have made to my database.Is there a specific save command that updates the access file permanently?The default command added by dragging over the dataset does not work.
2. My database is accessed with the following string:[code]However, doesn't this mean that the database MUST be placed in that specific folder on any PC? Is there a way to simply build the database into the compile so the program automatically generates the database when installed on anyones computer?
3.) This might be fixed by fixing the previous two issues, but if I compile my program and try to install it, I get an error message "Could not download the application.The application is missing required files."
I'm trying to make it so the the images will save to the folder that you selected in the textbox1.text from the folderbrowser this is the code's I have tried
Which is the easiest way I could get the file details / properties under windows? I am not talking about common properties (such as file size, creation date), but the ones written by variuos software. In my particular case I need to get the detail called "Date taken" for a jpg image file.
I could use PHP,Java or VB.NET, whatever is easier.My final goal: I have a bunch of images I took with different versions of Android on my phone. They are all named with different naming convention, most of them just something like IMG_[consecutive_numbers].jpg. So I want to rename them all, but for that I need their original creation date, and since I have moved them from my pc to the phone and back so many times, I cannot trust the "creation date" property. I found that all of them have a property which was set by the camera called "Date taken", which is still intact and valid.
What I am trying to do is I have a .dat file that I cannot read but can at the same time. What I mean is I know how to decipher it by hand (alas takes minutes per 6 parts and there are thousands.) I am trying to make an application that can read this and allow me to edit it from my computer. I can open this with a hex program such as hex editor neo. I am currently trying to get it so I can read the file and have it place corresponding parts in to text boxes that I can alter to suit my needs.
I am new to visual basic and know a tiny bit about C++ if you think I would be better off trying in C# I can try that as well I do know some since learning c++. There are 41 parts to each item listed in the file and each one would need to go in its own text box. In hex there are 348 blocks that need to be arranged in corresponding order. Also the beginning of the file has 6 block followed by a code for each item. I need to find a way to put all the correct code in the correct text box and have it make sense.
