View 3 RepliesI was under the impression Visual Studio 2008 (and probably other versions) already made an app.config file for Forms applications. I've edited the app.config on multiple occasions without creating a new app.config file. However, I just created a new application and I can't find the app.config file.I hit Show All files and it still doesn't show. I know I've seen the answer somewhere before, but I can't remember where.
View 3 RepliesI've just moved an external dll into a folder different from the main exe directory, so I had to use the <probing> command in an app.config file. Now however, the application won't find the dll unless I have the app.config file in the same directory as the main exe! So how can I embed the app.config file in the EXE, or alternatively move it to the folder called 'Resources' where I store the external

View 1 RepliesI have a web site that uses the both c# and vb.net in the app_code section. The different languages are separated into their own folder and correctly configured in the web.config.
<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="BasicCode"/>
<add directoryName="CSharpCode"/>
</codeSubDirectories>
This works fine 95% of the time. In production using 2 load balanced servers I sporadically receive an error message along the lines of:
"Unable to find assembly
'App_SubCode_BasicCode.xxx,
Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=netural,
PublicKeyToken=null'.
The site is hosted in IIS7 and I think it has something to do with the name of the dll assigned during dynamic compilation. I do not see this problem in a single server environment. Could this be because when the session is balanced to the second server the dynamic compiled dll name is different?
I try to find online any example for create an application autoupdate.

When executing the above code it says at the FileOpen operation that the document does not exist or the relative path may not be right... I have looked in many place over the internet and even used the same examples from the Microsoft website however I get the same error.
I'm getting a suprising FileNotFoundException although i'm sure that the file exists.I simply wanted to add Logfiles(IO.FileInfo) as attachments to an email, therefore i tried to check the length of every file to detect if they must be added/zipped.This works fine if these files already exist. But if i've created them in this run, i get above exception when i try to check the length. It's oddly enough that i can write into these "not existing" files(actually FileInfo.Exists returns false) without a problem one line before.
Here is some code...

I've just recently started noticing this crash as my program has gotten more complicated. I have a few lines that look like this in my program:
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
The problem that I am seeing is that my program is updating these files every second, so sometimes the files are being appended and or just being replaced as it is trying to run this line. Receive the error, "File is in use or does not exist." Is there anyway to put a line of code that tells the program that if the file does not exist to check again till the file does exist.
Sort of:
If System.IO.File.exists(cstr("C:deviceinfo.txt")) then
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
else
loop
endif
Or I read somewhere that you can use:
If Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0 Then
or
If Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt") <> "" Then
Maybe:
Loop while Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0
else Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
next
I realize the danger of having a possible never ending loop in the program, but I cant think of another way to have the program wait for data and use the data immediately as it becomes available. I looked into having a wait() sub or to do system.threading, but my rational behind not using those are because waiting for 200 ms doesnt ensure that the data actually shows up, I could still receive the error.
How to make when they start the program if they dont have the file (config.ini) the program auto to create it , and how to make what to be put in the config.ini

View 16 RepliesRight now I have a program that checks login credentials against my Access(2003) database.It works, but the problem I'm having is that it's checking if the file.exist to frequently and with no real pattern. How I'm doing it isI have a My.Setting that saves the file path string as well as the connection string, during form_load I check if the My.Setting path string exist, if not then use an openfiledialog to find the file. Right now I have the database in a public drive, which is why I think that my program thinks that the file doesn't exist sometimes. This is how I'm doing all of the above:
'Some global variables commented out
'Dim log As String = My.Settings.loginStr
'Dim logCon As String = My.Settings.loginCon

View 1 RepliesWith a program I'm writing, I'm using saved data from program instance to the next. So I'm just using a simple text file to save some data. But the first time the user runs it, obviously the text file will not already be created. How can I write the code to see if the file exists? I tried to use a StreamReader but it trips up when the code runs if the text file does not already exist. And if I use a StreamWriter every time, it will overwrite the file and lose all the data. How I can see if a specific file exists already, and if not create a new one? If it does exist, then open that pre-existing file?

I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

I'm writing a SSIS 2005 script (vb.net)in which I want the functionality to checks if a file exists if so then delete it.For testing purposes I'm renaming files to replicate an exception i.e. file cannot be read for whatever circumstance,to ensure the error handling is correct.The code works fine and catches any errors with the File.Exists(errorLookUpLog File) command, if the file does not exist/cannot be read but not with the code below using System.IO.File.Delete(lookupErrorLogFile) as when file is renamed and therefore cannot be deleted (looking for the file under it's original name then no exception is shown (see full code below, have yet to try catching specific exception for if a files doesnt exist)[code]
