Driver Detection - Tell User That It Is Safe To Close Program Once Driver Is Install
Jun 1, 2011Trying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?

Jun 14, 2011I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

Kill Process That Is Using A File
Dec 15, 2009I am making an updater that downloads some files from a webservice and copies them to a directory, overwriting old files.
It works ok, but what if a user for whatever reason has opened a file. It will throw an error, because the file is in use.
Is there a way to determine which process is using the file? Then I will be able to kill it.

Create A Printer Driver To Print To A Text File?
Mar 6, 2011I need to create a driver that can be installed as a printer and instead of printing to a physical printer it needs to print to a text file. I have no idea how to do this. I have searched for an answer on these forums but so far I haven't had much luck. I know it isn't easy to create a driver in VB but I don't know if this is technically a "driver" since it isn't interfacing with actual hardware.
View 6 RepliesVS 2010 File System Mini Filter Driver?
Jun 20, 2011Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if it is possible (I said possible, not easy ) to create a file system mini filter driver in .NET? I'm assuming not but I don't really know of any technical reason why... just that every single example on the interwebs is C++.
I realise it would take me a very long time just to convert all of the functions and structures required to .NET before I even got started on the actual functionality of the filter driver itself but theoretically is it possible?

VS 2008 - Running Into Some Errors - When Try To Delete An .dll File Using Kill
Apr 28, 2010I am writing a simple program that I'm going to use to end a process and then delete a folder with its contents but, I am running into some errors when I try to delete an .dll file using Kill. I would have figured this out on my own but its being weird.
1. If I run the .exe it doesn't delete it and gives me and error
2. I i run the .exe as administrator it doesn't delete it and gives me an error
3. If I run visual basic 2008 as Administrator and then execute the program it works.
4. If I try and execute it again as Administrator under Visual Basic it doesn't work and says I don't have sufficient access.
What I am trying to do is End a Process so that I am able to delete the folder, the folder contains and .dll which is being stuborn and saying I don't have sufficient access to do this.

ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could Not Find File '(unknown)'.
Oct 8, 2011I'm currently doing a project that includes access 2010 My question will be what driver can I use for an access 2010 *.accdb type file? For a *.mdb it works perfectly well with
ConnString ="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=" & Application.StartupPath & "\CITSDB.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=123;"
But, when I changed the mbd to accdb:
ConnString ="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.accdb)};Dbq=" & Application.StartupPath & "\CITSDB.accdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=123;"
It resulted in errors:
ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'.
ERROR[IM006][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]SQLSetConnetAttr failed
ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'
And then it shows me that my code for
If dsLogin.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 1 Then
IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Cannot find table 0
I knew it must be the driver but I don't know what accdb driver I can use for the connstring.

View 2 RepliesRemoving HID Driver With Devcon?
Jul 27, 2011Iīm using Windows 7, 64 Bit and Visual Basic form VS 2010 to develop an application.
I want to remove a HID driver with the Devcon.exe tool. Using the console (cmd.exe) with the following command, there is no problem. The driver ist removed immediatly.
D:devcon remove =keyboard "HIDVID_1784*"
If I try the same from the application with:
Shell("C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe /k D:devcon remove =keyboard ""HIDVID_1784*""", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True, 1000)
or:
process.StartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("C:WindowsSystem32cmd.exe", " /k D:devcon remove =keyboard ""HIDVID_1784*""")
process.Start()
then devcon returns the message:
"The 1 device(s) are ready to be removed. To remove the devices, reboot the system."
and the device is not removed or disabled, and of course, I donīt want to reboot the system.
Does anyone have the same problem or even better can tell me, how to solve this problem, so that the driver ist immediatly removed?
