I want to delete, copy, move, and rename files using the actual Windows confirmation dialogs.I am using SHFileOperation. My problem is, that, when I want to move a folder with this path:
"C:MyFolderToMove"
And I set the destination to:
"C:UsersTest"
And (THIS PART IS IMPORTANT) the APPLICATION start from say
"D:MyApp.exe"

For those of you interestested in mathematics you can find a root of a number in two different ways. Lets say you want to find the 5th root of 27.

I just made my first .net website. I'm trying to use the following line of code to load a file from the current directory ( same diredtory all the web files are in). I get a error saying file does not exist
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("installerform.html")
I copied the file to my c drive and chnage the line to
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:installerform.html")
it worked, but now my site has to run a godaddy's webserver, so I cannot save stuff in the c drive, just my web directory.
How can I get My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText to read files from the websites current directory?
here i am getting this path
System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
"D:ProjectsCompan1Compan1binDebug"
but i want to load report1.rpt that is reside in Reports folder under application root like we did in asp.net application
Dim rptPath As String = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/rpt1.rpt")
If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
'Report.Load(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "/Reports/" & ReportName & "")

View 2 RepliesI found the following example of how to print a root directory on the net
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Current As String
Dim Root As String
Current = Directory.getCurrentDirectory()
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Current)
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("")
Console.WriteLine("Current directory {0}", Current)
Console.WriteLine("Root directory {0}", Root)
End Sub
However it just causes the error "name directory not declared"
I have a dynamic path and every time I want to check it and if it is the root of drive warn user, so I am doing this:
Code:
If MyPath = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(MyPath) Then
'Warn user
End if
MyPath is returned from a control like FolderBrowseDialog so I'm sure it cannot be an invalid path...
How can I get the location of the physical root directory of my website in VB.Net?
I am using visual studio 2008 and vb.net
I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.

View 7 RepliesI've an issue regarding p/invoke from managed to unmanaged code. See my original post at the MSDN forum (as brief summary is seen later in this post). Before I go on, I just want to explain a couple of things: I have a wrapper assembly in net 3.5 that does the actual interop to the unmanaged code. Then I have my console "host app" which uses the wrapper assembly. The solution I came up (I refer to my MSDN post) works when the host app is using .net 4, but it doesn't work when changing the host app to use .net 3.5. When changing, I get a AccessViolationException.
host app: 4.0, wrapper assembly: 3.5
-> works
host app: 3.5, wrapper assembly: 3.5 -> throws
AccessViolationException
Do anyone have a clue to why I get an AccessViolationException? Most importantly, how do I get it working with .net 3.5?
Brief summary on the MSDN post I refered to. I have this messy p/Invoke I need to solve. The C declaration looks like this:
long TBAPI TbeAndring (short,
short,
PTB_PU,
PTB_ANDRING_INFO,
PTB_PARAMS,
[CODE]...
Where PTB means that each argument is a struct pointer to an array of arbitrary length. The structs mostly contains strings, doubles, char and short. Anyway, I ended up with this DllImport statement:
<DllImport(NativeLibraryName, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi, SetLastError:=True)>
Public Shared Function TbeAndring(ByVal sAntMoment As Short, _
ByVal sAntPU As Short, _
[CODE]...
As you see some of the arguments are changed by the unmanaged code as well.

I am using the above code to allow a user to change the AD password via an application, this is just a sample of the problem code.The error it is generating is that the password is not complex enough, and it does not matter what I put in the new password, it always reports "The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800708C5)" I have tried it as user@domain domainuser I have then tested on one of the domain computers the same password and it changed there without issue.So I can only assume the error message is incorrect.I have tried several combination's of samples on line and they all seem to point back to this as the proper method, I feel certain I am overlooking something.
Looking at Microsoft's page on Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection, I see some C code. What if you want to call this function and it's revert from VB.net? So far I have done this:
<Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("KERNEL32.DLL", EntryPoint:="Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection")> _
Public Shared Function DisableWow64Redirection() As Boolean
End Function
And I do likewise for the Revert brother function.This seems to work, as the shell command I call after actually finds its exe in system32, but I am not sure about the Revert, does it need a parameter? This Revert page seems to want me to take the output from disable and plug it into the revert call. Does that sound right? How do I change my DLLimport to take in a boolean and actually use it in the Kernal32.DLL function?
