I need to associate files with my application. I found this code:
Public Sub AssociateExtension(ByVal extension As String)
Try
Dim fileTypeName As String = extension.Substring(1, extension.Length - 1)
My.Computer.Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(extension) _
.SetValue("", fileTypeName, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)
My.Computer.Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(fileTypeName & "\shell\open\command") _

View 3 Repliesi am new to visual basic and have recently made a quiz with 16 forms. I have built the project but when I attempt to email it (with hotmail) the person at the other end recieves it but then as he recieves it the following message is displayed "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance."
View 1 RepliesI published an application and copied the Application Files Folder ,setup.exe and .application file to a network folder for others to install on their machines. What causes this message to appear. Should'nt the new version over write any previously installed version on a machine. Although in this case no other version has been installed. You cannot start application...from this location because it is installed from a different location

View 5 RepliesBasically I want to create a little program with 5 or so text fields where I enter the specific names of movies. Upon pressing a "go" button it then does a google search(with certain criteria) for all textfield entries on the website [URL} and then download the files, if possible without opening a browser.
Search criteria:
-only video formats(.avi .mov etc)
-download url contains the "_de" tag (to insure german trailers)
That way it should hopefully find the right trailer and download it. If possible have it use progress bars.
How much work do you think this is? Or is it even possible? From a logical standpoint I don't think it's too much work... I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. My project currently is just full of test code but I will post it anyway:
Code:
Public Class Mainwindow
Private Sub Mainwindow_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

How to distribute required *.dll files with your application ?
I want to include System.Data.SQLite.DLL file
I don't know what I may have clicked on but, in Solution Explorer under My Project, there are now duplicates of Application.Designer.vb under Application.myapp. One is named Application.Designer.vb and the other is named Application1.Designer.vb. If I comment out the code on one of them them build works without errors.
However, if I delete one of them, I get a warning "The custom tool Application.Designer.vb failed while processing the file 'My Project.Application.myapp." but it still builds. If I click on the warning, a messsage window appears with "The last attempt to run the custom tool 'My Project.Application.myapp' failed. Would you like to re-run the custom tool?" If I click NO, the program builds. If I click YES, it adds the duplicate Application1.Designer.vb again the the errors are back.how to eliminate the errors and the warning?
I would like to get simple code on reading and writing into excel files using console application in vb.net.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to find a good strategy to access data files, image files, etc., that I want to distribute in my VB.NET deployment. The challenge I'm having is to find a place to put the files, and a means for the program to find them, regardless of whether the program is running in the Visual Studio environment as a debug build or release build, or running as an installed application.I've considered using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to find the location of the EXE file, then using relative paths to that folder. However, that approach depends on the directory hierarchy imposed by the Visual Studio tools when it separates the binaries of debug and release builds. Both builds would have to navigate upward to reach a common root folder, and the path traversal algorithm must work for the deployed EXE file too.
View 6 RepliesI want to make an application that moves all files from 1 zip to another and deletes a folder.

View 9 RepliesI currently have two applications. The main app and the updater app. When the main app checks his version with the webservice and it is out of date, it will download a zip archive and then start the updater. The updater will extract the zip archive overwriting the old files of the main app.
Is it possible to do this without the need of a 2nd app, in this case the updater? Can you like, store your application in the computers memory and overwrite the files?
Initially while login from form1, the application will check login from the database and after login, it again populate values from database to gridview in another form2, and after that i will add values to the database in another form3. And so when again coming to form2, the gridview does not populating the updated values from database. Actually where to place the database files in an application?

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. This is what I want to do:
1) Copy all files and folders from A to B example: Copy From C:Source to \Server1Dest
2) I also am trying to use a progress bar to show the actual progress. Which hasn't worked. I can't time it because the number of files varies from day to day.
3) I would also like to pull variables from a text file or config file for example what the source path is and what the destination path is. I want this to be predetermined so the whole process is automated.
I am in the process of writing a win forms desktop app in VB.net that employs user data in the form of rich text, stored internally as an object and then serialised to an XML file for persistent storage purposes.
To create the user data (the application's "document" it might be called), I have written a seperate app that tries to be a word processor and then saves the text in my XML format that can then be opened and used in the main app.
Is there a way I can use Word to do this? Perhaps by writing an add-in or template? Just to clarify, the format of the rich text would just be a table, I then need to save this in my XML format, or save the text as my object then serialize it to file.

I am making a program that stores information for my applications. There are 4 main things I need in the XML file, the login information (User name and password), Application names and keys, and the owner of the application (who bought it). The program allows the user to enter as many applications and owners as they want and once login information is correct it loads the data. Then on exit all the data saves to a XML file.

<Data>

<UserName> (UserName) </UserName>
