View 4 RepliesMy problem is that I am creating system tools for windows with a good gui and I don't know how to start with it. One of my difficulties is making code for calling any window tools for example, defragment.msc, backup, system restore, registry editor(I knew there's already a thread in here but it is closed).In short, I will create a "Utility tools ALL IN ONE" for my project somewhat like a registry cleaner or advance system optimizer and the likes.
View 6 RepliesI cannot find a tools in the toolsbox in vb.net where I need two panels with a blue button on the splitterbar to allow me to close/hide the panel on the left side. Very similar thing as I want to have them included in my program. http:[url]....That's the Toolstripcontainer but the blue button thing will not be visible when I debug the program. I have already set them to true but it still not showing so I gave up. Which tools in the toolsbox that has two panels that one panel go on the left, a button (like in the screenshot) in the middle between the left and the right panels which allow me to close/hide the panel on the left side?

View 1 RepliesThis is not for school assignment it is for me trying to create a dynamic small application.
I need to run an application from a pen drive. Since different computers call the drive by different letters I need to discover the drive letter and then check for a folder existence. If not there I will make the folder(I know how to manke the file) and ftp from network to the folder then run the items. If it is there I just run the items
My difficulty(probably due to brain freeze) is how to get the drive letter.
Is it possible to find a drive's letter given one of the following two?
1) SCSI Address (eg 0/0/0)
2) NT Device Name (eg /device/CdRom0)
I'm trying VB.Net 2010 in w7 on my new 64-bit PC. Thought I'd start with a media player. My problem is the exception that arises when I search for all MP3s on a drive.

Im trying to create a program to gather information about users pcs. So far I have been able to gather thigns like the os, processor, hard drive size and graphics information and I was just wondering how I would be able to collect the name of the motherboard they are using (or model) and the make of the hard drives in their machines.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that works I would just like it to be able to find the file with out me specifying the actual path. Because if it is on someone's computer other than mine the path might not be correct and it will not function properly. Here is the code I have done. The file it is looking for is of course names.txt. I have not been able to find much info on this.

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.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a small app that reads MFT from a NTFS drive and lists deleted files and their names. The code is not ordered since its not finished yet. I made it basing on information a read at ntfs.com and some other examples found on the net. But the problem itself is the following. I have hard disk with to NTFS partitions, the main one having 250 GB and the second one having 1,5 GB. If I execute my code on the smaller drive, (using D as parameter for readfile api), I get the list of all deleted files exactly (I checked it with a recovery file app).
The problem is when I execute it on the other drive (C where Windows is installed, 7 if it matters), the problem is that I cant find any deleted file!!. The code gets all the files from MFT and then saves in a string variable only the deleted ones, I found that after deleting one file, it also disappears from the MFT (at least using my code). So, there may be some other way in which NTFS marks deleted files? As you see in my code, I iterate through the MFT entries and, from those that start with FILE, I take bytes 22 and 23 (0 base) and evaluate, if its value is 0 then its deleted, otherwise, it isn't (its a file or directory I think).
Public Structure SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
Dim nLength As Integer
Dim lpSecurityDescriptor As Integer
Dim bInheritHandle As Boolean
End Structure
[Code] .....
I know, looping through is fast enough. But the search program "Everything" can index my entire C: drive in about 15 seconds. Does it read the MFT or something? Can I do this easily enough with VB.NET? Or at all?

In this question I'm using Visual Studio 2008. My code is quite simple, as it was used from a reference I grabbed off the web. I'm using ASP/VB.Net, IIS6.0 on a Windows Server 2003 box.I've looked at various sources online, and have not been able to piece together a proper result. The purpose of this is to list a slew of directories and their respective files, and allow the user to eventually manage that directory (such as open and delete files).
Here is my ASPX page:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="DirectoryList.aspx.vb" Inherits="VCMReports.DirectoryList" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

[code]....
When launching the page, the following error appears: 'V:Users' is not a valid virtual path. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: 'V:Users' is not a valid virtual path.
Things I have tried:
On the server, I have mapped out the drive and the directory.Permissions seem to be properly set, impersonate is correct.If I were to list a directory in the actual directory "C:InetpubDirectory", there is no failure.I do understand this is incomplete for the Directory listing portion, this will only list files (so this will need to be modified.I have attempted to create a Virtual Directory, and the application presented the same error. On my local development machine, I have the same path created - same error. How am I able to view the contents of a shared directory and it's files?
I would like to find all the "About" files of all programs stored on my hard drive. If you open a program, click on help and select "About". It provides the name, version and date written etc. I would like to extract and store in DB. The store in DB part, I have no issues.

I'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code:
ComputerName = "."
Set wmiServices = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName)
Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _
("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive")

I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.
In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.
I want to make a tool that will assign a USB pen drive a drive letter, I am using WMI to acknowledge the device being plugged in, I can pull the deviceID, name, etc now I just need to work out how to assign the device to a drive and I just cant figure it out
