View 3 RepliesChecking The File Path Of An Image In A Datagridview?
Apr 10, 2010I have a datagridview with a bunch of columns, one of them being an Image type (DataGridViewImageColumn).What I want to do is basically check to see what the file path of the image in one of those cells is.
I've tried doing like:
If (DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString = "some path" then
'do stuff here
End if
but it always says DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString is just "System.Drawing.Bitmap", instead of the actual file path of the image in the cell.I've also tried the above, without the .ToString, but I get an error saying System.ArgumentException was unhandled (Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'.)

Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
Convert Unix File Path To Windows Path?
Jun 14, 2012I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.

Checking For File Existance Via An ASP / VB Website
Nov 5, 2010I know all about File.Exists in VB. I know that it should work, but in my situation, it is not. Currently our site builds an image string based on the user id, then goes to our image folder on the server and retrieves it. If the image doesn't exist, it displays the broken image icon. I tried implementing the File.Exists method using the path and image name it was already using to pull the file. Even if the file exists, if returns false. I have read other posts saying that it could be a security issue, but it seems to me that if it can pull the image, it should be able to check and see if it exists. [Code]

View 16 RepliesChecking If A File Exists And Then Saving?
May 22, 2012I 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.
