Dim file As System.IO.FileStream Dim YesNo As Integer YesNo = MsgBox("_missions_recomp.gsc Already exists, do you want to overwrite?", vbYesNo, "Confirm Overwrite?")
[Code]...
Here's the scoop. This is a simple file check, where it will write a file so long as it does not exist,however, if the file already exists, I would like to give the user the option to overwrite the file, or not.
WHY can I not check for the existence of a file in the c:windowssystem32 directory? The file IS there and this method still returns false.

View 2 RepliesI'd like to use the webrequest webresponse method to test for the existence of a file.If the first file is there, then I want to test for the existance of the same filename with -1.htm appended to it. If that filename exists, then test for filname-2.htm This continues until the filename being tested comes back 404 error. At which point, the program does NOT blow up, but the do until loop stops and the code continues. I have to search for a link on each one of the pages found once I have determined how many pages there are.How do I test for a file and not have it blow up? It has to loop and it goes through at least once. this is code I wrote. Right now the page just keeps going and going. IE's little logo on the page tab keep going around in a circle like it's in an endless loop.

I've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.
Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.

View 4 RepliesI need to search a Byte array for the existence of another Byte array. The first array is large, about 30,000 bytes and the second varies but is usually between 300 and 500 bytes. I need to know the start position of the second array inside the first. For example if these were the arrays:
Code:
Array 1 Array 2
00
34
00
23 23
00 00
64 64
00 00
41 41
00
45
92
33
I would need to know the start position is 3.
Code:
For x = 0 To UBound(Array1)
If Array1(x) = Array2(0) And Array1(x + 1) = Array2(1) And Array1(x + 2) = Array2(2) Then
' Found it
End If
Next
And loop through finding it by brute force but array 2 will be a different size on each system so doing the above, although I could make it work, isn't practical. I could even do multiple if's like if I find the first byte then find the second, then find the third, and make it a little more bearable but still. Is there a simple way to find a array inside another array?
I am trying to have my program check for the existence of a registry key so I do not get a null reference exception error. The key may or may not exist depending on the computer. How can I check to see if it exists and then change its value if it does exist or skip over it to the next one if it does not exist? (I already know how to change the value part of it) Im just not sure how to check for the existence of it for example would be trying to set the value of a key that does not exist called test below... this obviously would throw a null exception error so how do I check for the existence of the key before executing these instructions and then if it does not exist it skips this and keeps going to the next code ?
Dim testkey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SystemCurrentControlSetTEST", True)
Dim keyval As Int32
' Set to ON
keyval = 1
testkey.SetValue("ON", keyval)
I also check the status of the registry entry on form load
Dim Test As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SystemCurrentControlSetMYTEST", False)
'Get the reg value.
Dim Testflag As Integer = CInt(Test.GetValue("ON"))

View 2 RepliesThe application I'm writing requires the user to select a certain directory on their hard-drive (a game directory), which is saved to the Settings. If the directory is not selected, my application can't work. So, when the program starts for the first time, the directory setting will not be present, and I want my application to ask the user to select the correct directory before the application starts (the main form is shown). I used the following code in the Form_Load event of my main form:
vb.net
If My.Settings.WolfPath = String.Empty Then
MessageBox.Show("Please select your root 'Wolfenstein - Enemy Territoryetmain' mapping installation.", "Select W:ET Path", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
[code]....
It looks pretty complicated (probably too complicated) but I wanted to make sure that the user cannot continue until a valid directory has been selected. So when the user cancels the folder selection, my application should end. If the user selects an invalid directory (it should end in "etmain") it should display a messagebox and show the folder browser dialog again. It should keep doing this until the correct path has been chosen.The problem occurs when an invalid directory is first chosen. The messagebox does show, but it shows behind all other applications! It took me a minute to figure that out, because I could not find my application anywhere, but Visual Studio still said it was running... After finally finding the messagebox behind everything else, it seems that now everything comes up behind everything else! When I click OK on the messagebox, the new folder browser dialog also shows up in the background, etc, etc. If I then choose a valid directory, the application loads the main form in the background...
I thought at first the problem would be the fact that I am running this code in the Form_Load event. A better place perhaps would be a Sub Main() from which the main form would be loaded explicitly (Application.Run(mainForm)). However, I can only select Forms as the Startup Form. If I disable the "Enable application framework" checkbox I can select the Sub Main() as Startup Object, but all the visual styles are lost...?
I'm trying to verify if data exists in two different tables in a single transaction. The reason for the single transaction is the database gets hit about 1-3 million times a day so adding anymore than 1 extra transaction would increase that number up to 9 million, and my poor little server needs a break :)
So I need to check if an ID exists in table X and table Y and return the results to my VB.net script so I can handle the outcome Ideally something like this would work
if exists (select id from X where id = @id)
print 'True,' else print 'False,'
if exists (select id from Y where id = @id)
print 'True' else print 'False'
Which gives me "True, True" if exists in both or "True, False" etc etc... But that only displays in SQL print and not actually returning it as an object/string or array values that I can use.
I'm open to any sort of solution of this nature that can give me two results from a single transaction and how to handle that response in vb.

I am working on a check digit program and I am having some trouble finding the best path to take. The program requires 5 digits (numbers). I am calling them
num1
num2
num3
num4
num5
My ultimate goal is to use this equation:
num5 = num1 + (num2 *2) + num3 + (num4*2) - but I use the second digit of the resulting number.
Example: number 12346 - would be "correct!"
12345 - would be "wrong!"
1 + (2*2=4) + 3 + (4*2=8) = 16 so the correct would be 12346 When the user puts in the numbers on the UI I will be returning a comment in a text box on the UI.Which direction should I start?

We are trying to modify a program to control a usb relay device. Essentially what the program originally does is give you a series of check boxes that you check to make the relay fire. We tried to modify the code so that the box is checked after 5 seconds using a counter and an if statement. It works, but only partially, what happens is the check box shows a check, but the even that is normally triggered does not happen.
