Checking File Exists Using Data Extracted From Spreadsheet
Sep 8, 2009
I have been on MSDN about this and searched but it's not quite telling me what I'm after. I've extracted a list of file names from an Excel spreadsheet and want to check whether they all exist in a directory which a user can select in a text box. It feels like I'm nearly there with it but currently my listbox is displaying everything, I want it to just show the files that are missing. I'm a beginner so I'm not exactly sure if I'm even telling it to compare the two things properly, I've tried a couple of ways of checking if a file exists but neither seem to work.[code]

I am trying to write(what I thought would be a simple piece of code. I was wrong.
What I am trying to do is to get an application to check if a file exists, However, I have it wrong as the file obviously does exists, but when I run the application it tells me it does not.
Imports System.IO
Public Class check
Dim checkfile As New FileInfo("C:\HelloWorld")
[Code].....

I haven't used System.IO before, and I'm a little stuck.I need to check if a file exists, for example C:Documents and SettingsverraineDesktopSURNAME Firstname v1.docx, if this file exists the filename has to become v2, and so on. Usually there will only be a v1, but in the case that a clients position changes we have to be able to save the new version without overwriting the old one.
How would I be able to do this efficiently? I'm uncertain to say the least. Because, if I manage to find out how to save the file as a different number, that's alright, but if that next number exists as well? I can only think of ways to do this that require a lot of code.

I'm trying to download files using the Net.WebClient call to DownloadFile
Using client As New Net.WebClient()

Is there a polite way I can ask for the file instead of calling DownloadFile, and handling the exception ?

I think this is a really simple question to answer but I can't find a better solution. Basically I am importing data from an external source and as I go through importing each for I am doing a for loop to see if the row already exists; this is taking a life time and I feel it is a very simple way of doing it. Is there a better way to see if a row already exists using specific columns and key indexes?

I'm using ADO.Net to work with an Excel Document. Essentially, I'm looking up values in a table called "source" and creating a new table called "result" which will be populated with the results of my query.
I have a couple of questions.A) How can I check if a table exists and create a new one if it doesn't? B) Is a table the same as a sheet in Excel?[URL]...

Completely new to ASP.net
Page Language="vb"
Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3603; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082
I want to check on the server for the existence of an image, then if it does exist, display the image wrapped in other code. E.g.
if "/images/name.jpg" exists then
<div><img src="/images/name.jpg"></div>
else
Do nothing.
Seems really simple to me but NOTHING I have tried has worked (compilation errors). I've tried examples using system.io, DIM stuff with 'FileInfo', Set fs. FileInfo examples produce 'not defined' errors, 'Set' says it's outdated and not used anymore and so on.

I want to check if an Outlook folder exists, if it doesn't then create it & if it does then carry on with other code. I can create the folder as a sub folder of the Inbox but once it is created I get an error because it is still looking to create when it's already created. I have tried to capture the error but still no joy.

I'm checking is a file exists as follows.
If txtGradeObs.Text = "" Or Dir(txtGradeObs.Text) = "" Then
MsgBox("Specify the Grade job of Obstructions", vbExclamation, MsgBoxTitle)
Exit Sub
End If
I get an error if the drive does not exist - i.e. G: rather than C:. It used to work in VB6. How can I get it to work.

It is saved on my desktop for easy access.I can close the program. I can click the solution to open it right back up, no problems.I then zip my file (also to the desktop)
My problem: I moved the original file (Project A) to another folder and extracted the unzipped Project A onto the desktop. When I open the new Project A's solution file, nothing happens besides VB starting up. It doesn't show me anything.

I have written a web page which connects to a database and then display 3 values from a management reporting system using the database.
I am accessing a database using the following code:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlToVersion" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:WebImportOnServer %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [VerNo], [PeriodName], [PeriodNo] FROM [atblVersion]"
[Code].....
but it is how to replace the question marks with valid code that takes the values from the bound fields that I am stuck with.

I have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

So I'm a little rusty on my VB.NET skills, but I decided to take up a project to get me working in it again. Problem is I've hit a slight road block and I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.I have a spreadsheet (or 3, but they could be combined if that makes it easier) that contain interest rates. I need my program to use user-input to select which interest rate it needs and then calculate and output the grand total, without the end user ever seeing or even being aware of the interest rate table.

So I need to create a windows form that is able to generate reports by querying a SQL Database or SQL Server. There is data in the databases that will be put into an excel file from whatever columns from a specific table I need. I need it to be a dynamic query that is probably hard coded into the application because I might need to write other queries at some point to generate different reports that need different columns.
What I need is somewhere to start or some code that I can look at because im not very familiar when it comes to vb.net/excel. I need code to get all that data from the database and put it neatly in an excel file and I would like to specify what columns in the excel file all the data goes under.
