Oct 24, 2011I am trying to create a program which will allow users to select multiple files from a list and then burn them all to a playable DVD. It would be wonderful if i could setup a custom menu programatically as well. I have seen some documentation on Imapi 2.0 but i have not been able to find too much suppoert for it. I have also found a few SDK's out there but most are over $1000 which just isnt in the budget.

2) Is there an inexpensive or open source sdk with good documentation out there to do this with

View 2 RepliesC# - Burn A (Video) DVD In .NET Without 3rd Party Libraries?
May 4, 2011Maybe this is a stupid question....I'm looking at a project that would require me to burn a video to DVD in such a way that a traditional DVD player could play it. I've found several '3rd party tools' that do this, which is great and the direction I'll probably take.
But, I can't, for the life of me, fathom how to sit down and write a video to DVD. I know this is largely academic (Just use the available libraries!) still, I'd really like some direction on how I would/could go about doing this myself.

Aug 29, 2011I have written a hierarchical treeview music player that reflects the organisational structure of the music files on your disk drive. I just need to know how to rip and burn Cds using VB.net (without using any dependencies if possible). So far in my multi-media project, the only dependency currently is LAME.EXE for converting wave files to MP3 files - and even that dependency will go if I can successfully convert certain C++ listings to VB.

Extracting Data From PDF Files?
Jan 3, 2006Im trying to extract predominately table data from a PDF file, however, I would also like the option to extract image files (such as graphs, etc) as well.Is it possible to extract data from PDF files using a VB.Net application? Im trying to get this process as automated as possible, so Im trying not to use 3rd party applications such as pdf file convertors or in-line pdf readers.
Are there any free, or relatively cheap PDF data capture API's/code snipets that I can use to import data from a PDF file? Another option is to export PDF data/images into an excel spreadsheet. Is there a .Net tool that will allow this?
Getting Files Out Of The Data Folder?
May 5, 2010basically how do i do this, i have no idea at the moment, Get a listing of all of the files in the data directory. Determine the total number of lines among only the csv files. For example, suppose the data directory contained three files:a.csv , containing 3 lines; b.csv , containing 5 lines; and c.txt , containing 7 lines. Then the total number of lines among the csv files is 8, not 15.

I am not saving the data to log files. I only display the results at the end of my routine. When I close the project the data is lost.I am trying to understand why one would bind data.

View 4 RepliesAllow More Than One Instance Of VB App To Access Data Files?
Jan 1, 2012I have just completed an upgrade of a VB6 app to VB.net (2008). Everything works as it should except for one (essential) part. I cannot open more than one instance of the built app without getting a file access error. Now don't laugh but my program uses Random Access files to store the data (i know, i know the 1990's called and they want their programmer back). Anyway I've been using this method since the early 90's and it's never let me down. Until now that is. VB6 allowed any number of users to access the files but for some reason VB.net gives the following error: The process cannot access the file "C:lah blah" because it is being used by another process.
View 2 RepliesApp To Compare Data From Various Text Files
Dec 7, 2010I've been tasked with writing an app that reads in various text files(.csv, .txt) in different formats with different delimiters.I then need to compare certain data in these files and report the differences.There are a couple of columns that are common between the files, but they aren't in the same place, and there is inconsistent and unnecessary header info.There is extra data(columns) in these files that I don't need.Should I parse these files into a datatable? Should I create an object for each file type to format the data and get rid of the unnecessary info?I'm not sure about the best way to tackle this problem.
View 1 RepliesApp To Compare Data In Various Text Files?
Dec 7, 2010I have been tasked with creating an app that will read in various text files(.csv, .txt) and compare some of the data contained within.
I thought I would read in the files and convert them to datatables. Once I had them in a datatable I figured I could remove the unnecessary rows/columns and then sort and compare the pertinent info for differences. The difficulty is that the various files are formatted differently so I will need to get each type formatted correctly. Is this the best approach?
I have read in a .csv, parsed it into a datatable, but I'm having trouble with the logic/coding to get rid of the rows and columns that I don't need. Also, I'm not sure how to handle a row that has a cell with a comma seperated list of values that will need to be split into individual rows.
Copying Deployed Data Files?
Jun 23, 2011I have three data files that I include with my project. They are all set to Build Action Content and Copy to Output Copy Always. I have a preferences form that allows the user to copy these files to a folder of their choosing. It works fine in the IDE. However, when deployed one file will copy but the next returns an error the the file cannot be found. In the following code block a deployed application will copy ABW11Data.sdf but cannot find 100610_40.dtb or 2118@005.dtb. They are in the deployment files and I can search and find them in the clickonce installation although they are not in the same place as the ABW11data.sdf.
If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed = False Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "ABW11Data.sdf", TextBoxFolder.Text, True)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "100610_40.dtb", .SelectedPath + "100610_40.dtb", True)

Filling Multiple TXT Files With XML Data?
Jun 22, 2010What I am trying to do is create a conosle app in vb.net 2008. I have a XML file (data_file.xml), and a template file (template.txt). The template file contains a few sentences, each one containing a placeholder which needs to be filled. I need to create multiple output files (.txt), which contains the contents of the template file, with the placeholders filled with the values of the placeholders in the XMl file.
The XML file is at the moment:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <CATALOG>
- <group>
<placeholder1>Nigel</placeholder1>
[Code] .....
As it stands, I can create one template file, containing the filled template contents using only the first group of placeholders. I am nearly there, just trying to finish the last piece of the jigsaw.
Getting Data About Your Audio Files (And Not Using Metadata)?
Jun 10, 2011Early on the OP was asked "how will you get the data about your music?" and it went into a whole other direction, but that's what I'm here to show: Another way to get the data about your music without dependence on the metadata.The music that I have has fairly extensive tags embedded but as I've discovered, that's not the case with all of them. It's a good starting point I suppose but is there another way? Let me jump to the end, then in the next several posts, we'll dissect the parts of it. My goal was use "only out of the components and methods" and this is what we end up with: Aside from the rudimentary things like song duration, how about if we could get a host of information about the songs, including the cover art? As shown in the example above, some also will have a link to additional information. The additional information may even contain a way to watch a music video for that song like this: Further, some will even contain what I call "Liner Notes" like this:
If this interests you, read on ...This isn't a new thought at all; I've explored this area before. Have a look at this on Code Project. Now before you go thinking that you've found the keys to the kingdom, I should explain a little minor issue about that - it doesn't work! In that, he relies heavily on three web services: Amazon Web Service MusicBrainz LyricWiki Amazon has significantly modified their service such that his methods don't work now. If you follow the posts following the thread, you'll see a few people have tried workarounds but over the years, even those stopped working because apparently they (Amazon) are in a state of flux regarding their API. LyricWiki is still alive and well, but - the music recording industry forced them to no longer offer their service to developers. MusicBrainz is in fact a heck of a resource and if you're at all interested in this topic, I would encourage you to have a look around. It's odd to work with, but it's chock full of good information and they're constantly adding to it or so it seems. All that said, this example won't use any of those but rather a different service all together: Last Dot FM. I can't say that I know much about them, but I happened onto them a few months back when I was first experimenting with all this stuff.
How To Find Application Data Files
Dec 3, 2010I'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.
