I get how to do it, and i have been to [URL] before. My question is about what doing that does, is it possible to reverse it? What if you do not know where your program will be, and you are just testing it for now? Is there any way for it to "find" your program, or an easy way to edit where it is opened? For that matter, is it possible to tell if the file has been associated already, is it an issue to try and reassociate? Finally, how can you set the .ico file it uses?
I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......
I'd like to inquire if it is possible to create a specific file extension like for example .wew and when the user double clicks over the that kind of file ,it excutes the programm associated with it ,and how can the contents be interpreted by the program, I tried to find how to do that ,and I only found soultion that deal with windows shell scripting
I am trying to open files with different extension which are not supported by windows as well.Extension like (.bin,.dat,.lzc etc etc) Is there any way i can access these files by using any emulator?
the problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
I am creating a program which can store files, and I display their names in a list box, with their contents in another list box. My program can read the file names but has the file extension ".txt" added to all of them, meaning that the program cannot read the contents. How can I remove ".txt" from them? [code]
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath) Dim files As IO.FileInfo() Dim filename As IO.FileInfo If (rbNoSubfolders.Checked) Then

I'm getting an "Illegal characters in path" error. How can I fix this?
Basically, I want to be able to say: here, I want to be able to chose my drive (in this case C:) and i want to be able to get the following extentions: .txt. Also i want it to list ALL .txt files in the C drive in either a textbox or listbox.
Path = "C:" For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.10") _ And For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.09") 'do code
Next My goal is simply to search for multiple file extensions. I cant use FILE* as my search parameter as this returns other files e.g FILE2012.10z which i don't want.
I want to know how to create our own file, such as: (.Docx). If we opened the file in notepad the characters contained in the that's file could not understand, so i would like to know by what method of making the it's file? Is the file created and use encryption method or what?
Inside the program I have a text box in which a user puts in the filepath to a textfile that the program then uses as a series of commands to perform tasks. This works perfectly, however what I would like to to do to make my program faster is associate the file extension .gam with the program, so when a user clicks a .gam file it opens the program and automatically sets said file's location into the text field, as opposed to using the browse button I added and browsing to said file everytime they run the program.
Through this a user could then make a shortcut to said .gam file and run it right from their desktop, as opposed to rummaging around in folders and whatnot. At the moment my method has been thus, I have 2 folders of importance I have archived with the .exe, Gambits Pro.exe, these are: Gambits, and Control, inside of the Gambits folder is the default storage location for .gam files, as when you click the browse button its default directory is that folder. I have also added a few example files in said folder for a user when they download the program.
Instead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks" End Sub[code]....
In my project properties I go to publish, options, and file associations and enter ".cms", "Contact manager File" "pqcms" and "1icon.ico", but when I publish and install it does not appear to associate the files...I want to be able to double click on the file and have it open the program but it does not appear to do so.I believe there are ways to edit the registry if you run your program as an administrator, but I really need clickonce to be happy with me because I am maximizing
I am running Visual Studio Professional 2008 on Vista home - using VB to develop a database app. When I try to add a datasource to my project (an Access database) using the wizard - I get the following error message.
" An unexpected error has occurred. Error message: Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Datadesign.SyncDesigner.DslPackage, Version - 9.0.0.0, ..."
it's possible with vb.net code to show or hide extensions for known file types ? this is a folder option for the new windows 7, wich allow the user to show or hide extensions for files.
I got the solution as to how I could associate more to the elements within a combo box in VB. NET. (Not understood the code though, which is the reason for this topic)Suppose I wanted to associate each of these with a minimum few attributes while loading the combo, is that possible? .i.e I want An id as well as a count to get associated with each of these elements.1 Apple 192 Guava 123 Tomato 1094 Carrot 9..With only the names appearing in the drop down?? and not the other attributes..
I have a custom control that the User can add to the form. They can add as many of these controls as they like.When they add a control, I am going to populate another custom control, a textbox, in another panel.I need to figure out how to associate that new control with the previous one.So, let's say the User creates 3, let's say "Boxes", three TextBoxes are created. When the User adds something to Box1, TextBox1 needs to be populated a specific string.I know how to create and add the control as needed, but I can't figure out how to associate the controls, if that make sense.In order to distinguish the Boxes, I've added a label to them that represents each iteration of the box. The numbers start at 1 and increase from there.I was thinking I could use that to associate the TextBoxes and am working on that now.

The problem is that if I save a file I get "myfile.GDL" if I overwrite that I get a new file "myfile.GDL.GDL" ect.the other problem being that the filtering in the windows save/open dialog wont show .GDL files unless I select "all files".
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _ Function CastAs(Of TSource As TTarget, TTarget)(ByVal array As TSource()) As TTarget() Return Global.System.Array.ConvertAll(array, Function(src As TSource) DirectCast(src, TTarget)) End Function
when you use the object browser to see the features of a sortedlist elementat is not shown , but because a sorted list inherets features of ienumerable it works, cant that be corrected
Firstly, I understand that this might sound more or less abstract, but this is because I have no previous experience in such applications. I completed an application using Visual Basic and is running and tested. What I want to do is to make this application expendable i.e I could write other pieces of code and I would just plug it in to the application "somehow" and it would be added as a functionality.
i am using the getfiles function to have all the files in a specific path but i want to use the getfiles to find .rar and .mp3 getfiles("c:program files",)
I have my listview showing how I would like but I would like to show it without extensions to the files listed. So when a user dbl clicks the icon it opens in it associated program. Once I take away that extension the dbl click fails as it can't find the file.Is there a better way or easier way to show the files without their extensions and have then still be functional?
What is your favorite Visual Studio add-in/setting? I'm wondering what are the extensions that you love or can't live without?[code]What other greats are out there? Mark them as free or not as well...
