I searched, but couldn't find any useful topics. I am needing to clear the temperary internet files in my program. I need to do this because I have a very long and elaborate process when you start usinging the program, and it may not function right if they are not cleared.
View 11 RepliesI am creating what could amount to quite a few temp files on a terminal server using the System.IO.Path.GetTempPath. My question is this. Can I trust Windows to clear that directory on a regular basis or do I need to clear it in code?
View 4 RepliesI've been looking for a way to do this for like two days now, and no luck.
What I want to do is get into the temporary internet files, find a certain file....
(^^^ I can do that just fine (using specialfolders, etc) ^^^)
and get the internet address associated with it.
See the attachment if you don't get my meaning.
I'm trying to read a csv file. I'm also try to delete all files in the temp directory on the page load. Everything goes fine the first time, but the second time I get an error saying it couldn't delete the file because it is in use by another process. I'm aware that this process is my vb file, I just can't seem to find what I need to dispose of to get rid of the file lock.
Here is my code
Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml

Now i currently open file from listbox using below code. But i want to open as Read-Only or Temp file. Because i don't want to allows user directly edit and save the file throught my program.

I would like to know how to declare this function, I have seen it used and i have the class SHFileOPStruct and all the components of it, i have then declared a function with the components of the class i am using, and when i try and follow examples of how to use the SHFileOperation function i get an error asking me to name SHFileOperation, how would i name it? Is it not an inbuilt function?
What am i actually trying to do? Delete temperary folders that are created during the running of my program. How can i do this using SHFileOperation
here is my code below:
' Declaration for File Recycling (from modFCOM)
Public Structure SHFILEOPSTRUCT
Dim hwnd As Integer
Dim wFunc As Integer 'operation to be done

View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a program that deletes temp files from my entire c drive. windows 7 will not allow any file manipulation. access denied . everything works fine in windows xp. what needs to be changed in my code to allow anyone to install this program on their computer and run it without errors like this. I need to change my code to correct this not windows 7, as other people will be installing this on their systems and they can't be setting their c drives. every answer i've found online is either to change c drive to have no security or set the code to demand uac to run as administrator(which doesn't work )

View 1 RepliesAm trying to copy contents of file temp.fxl to temp.seq. I want them to look exactly them. I don't want to copy the file though. I use the following code
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\fxlate\output\temp.fxl", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim s As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code].....
With such simple code, the last line in temp.seq is truncated as attached and the size of the file is smaller than temp.fxl. See attached files. What do I need to do on the above code. Is VB.NET failing to write 1024 characters on one line.
I have pasted below a piece of code where I am displaying a report. I am using Visual Studio 2008 Crystal Report engine. It works all good with the piece of code
Problem: Everytime a report is being run it generates a ('.*tmp', '.*rpt') files typically in a temp folder c:windows emp however we can get rid of the *.tmp files by setting a recycle on the application pool but need a way to get rid of the .rpt files.
Found solution: Call Close() and Dispose() on the report object. The way I am doing is crReportDoc.Close() then crReportDoc.Dispose()Actual Problem: If Dispose() is called the report comes up with the following error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

View 7 RepliesI've found a script on a microsoft site which should clear the temporary internet files folder:
Const TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = &H20&Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES)Set objFolderItem = objFolder.SelfstrPath = objFolderItem.Path & "*.*"Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")objFSO.DeleteFile(strPath)
For some reason this script doesn't work for me. It get's the proper folder becauseI used Wscript.Echo objFolderItem.Path to print the path but the files are not deleted.
I need to download files from internet without using FTP, here's my idea:To check version of the program and also download updates.So firstly, when the user enters the splash screen there is a timer which will check updates (downloadTimer) so then downloadTimer starts to download this txt file http://localhost/version.txt and then when its downloaded (and replaced the old one that was on the computer already) and then after that, read the file. If the version.txt contains version 1.0 then pass the check and splash screen closes, main form opens, else then msgbox ("Please Wait!" & vbcrlf & "Downloading updates") and then download updates with the same way from downloading version.txtOh! and also when the file is downloaded (version.txt) save it to "c:programMyApplicationversion" downloading the file without using FTP (if there isn't any other way i could use FTP).File reading could be made with an IO.FileStream thingy.So how do i do the download part?
