I'm making a game in Gamemaker and i'm using VS2010 to create a launcher for it. The launcher works like the Minecraft launcher:
it has to check a file from my server, then compare it to the local file, and if they aren't the same, the launcher has to re-download the game.exe from the server.
This all has to happen when i click play. To make the game start i use Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "\game.exe") i've put the game in the solution explorer.
put 'copy to output directory' to 'copy always'. i appareantly had to do that according to a tutorial to launch game.exe. Now, as i've said, i'm quitte new to VS 2010.
they need to make some compare version between host version and client version.. and each 1 version different will download the file to the client..[URL]..with both example, how can i make a program in VB.NET just like i said just now?
Here's my code: System.IO.File.Move(Form6.OpenFileDialog1.FileName, "Temp") I'm trying to make it so that the program copies the file that you select in the OpenFileDialog and moves it into the "Temp" folder. It gives me an error saying: Cannot create file when file already exists.
I am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
what im trying to do and what i have done so far is probably a little backwards not sure sure how to id it any other way.when the user generates an error because a particular file doenst exist ive got my dialoge box to generate an .txt file for each file it errors on, so that the administrator can check and update missing files as an when - shouldnt be many files missing in the first place, should just be new product ranges or item just launched.what im stuck on is:
1. is there a better way
2. how do i open a .txt file and add the extra lines to it, so i re use the file but keeping the previous data.
here i am reading files from one root folder and after reading that we are moving that particular file Success folder and taking a copy of that in to back up folder normal
while reading file i will check file naming convention by targeting backup folder if suppose it was exists in backup folder then i m moving the file to duplicate folder
my problem if suppose again same file came to process this file already existed in duplicate folder how do send the file in to duplicate folder, unfornately i dint have any property as file rename
If File.Exists(Swift_Backup + "" + Path.GetFileName(CBFile)) Then ' File.Move(CBFile, Swift_Duplicate + "\" + Path.GetFileName(CBFile)) 'DUPLICATE FOLDER'
I'm currently working on a script that uses an open file dialog to select a file and then send it to another folder.The open file dialog works fine, and I can store the filename/location fine in a variable. What I want to know is how to copy a user-defined file to a set directory. All of the stuff I've found requires you to know what the filename of the thing you're moving is.
Private Sub Button21_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button21.Click
If TextBox11.Text = "" Then Exit Sub MkDir(Dir1.Path + "" + TextBox11.Text) MsgBox("Folder Created:") TextBox11.Text = ""
End Subok now the file i have is from my.resources.test1 put this file into the folder that wascreated after mkdir line of code i have tried differnt ways of doing it but dose not work. it seams that this whould be so easy i dont if its me getting a mind block or something
I am writing a program to do backups and it will have syncing capabilities. It will be similar to Microsoft's SyncToy but it will have much more flexibility and "group" backup options etc.I am using VB.Net 2010 to write the program. The problem I need help with is the efficient comparing of a source file to the destination file when the only difference between a file is the name. (Working on the "Contribute" method of syncing a folder")In other words if I have a backup folder with a bunch of backed up files and folders from a master source folder and I change the name of one of the files in the master folder, but do nothing else to it, how can I tell that the renamed file is the same as the original named file in the destination folder. In this scenario I would want to rename the destination file to the new name it was given in the master folder instead of just copying the renamed file to the back up folder and ending up with duplicate files of different names needlessly.
I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.
When I right click a file folder, I get an option called Explore on my pop-up menu. It lets me do this for zipped records also. I want to be able to do this programmatically in my Visual Basic program. How do I explore a file folder and expose its contents in a Listbox. How can I do this for a zipped file? If a folder is zipped and contains a list of files in it, can I go into the file and delete the file without having to unzip the folder. Today, I was able to cut files out of a zipped file and paste the individual files somewhere else. Can I do this programmatically?
The first problem i am having is locating a file in a folder, i am using FolderBrowserDialog to select the working folder but the program needs to be able to detect if it is a Windows XP SP3 source. The File i want to detect is WIN51IP.Sp3 and after hours of searching and trying different methods i am still no closer.below is the first part of the code, the browse folder part.

After I run the setup to install the program, I will use the program to capture image and answer a survey.Having said that, I have a folder contains image of image capture and database using Ms Access 2007 in my program . Is it possible to make it both in one zip folder (Embedded both together in one folder and locate it in desktop?
In the above form the user will first enter a folder name and click the create folder button,then the folder will be created in the applications bin folder.I did the code for this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If ComboBox1.Text = "" Then
What I'm trying to achieve is for a file to be copied from a templates folder to a project folder. The project folder path is constructed using the selected item in a combo box and a list box. [Code]
Ok so i have a program that pulls up all the video files in a video folder. I need a code that will move one of the files in the listbox to a recycle bin i made. But i dont want to replace any of the files in the recycle bin i just want a code to move one file out of one folder and into another. So if there is a code for this then great.

Having difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?
be able to check if an application i am writing has been run on a week by week basis. i have created a button that when pressed creates a text file with nothing in it, i can read back the date it was created which also gives me the time which i dont need, i then need to compare the date the file was created to see if it is older than 6 days if so delete the file. how can i check to see if a creation date is older than six days???
So in my Textbox I have a list of (folder) names, such as:
Folder1 Folder2 Folder3
I want to compare THAT list to another folder somewhere in someones documents (no specific folder). So let's say we compare it to the 'Arts' folder, which contain these folders inside:
Folder1 Folder2
I want to put all of those folder names in the Art folder into a list. And then I want to compare the folder names in my Textbox to the folder names in the Arts folder, and Folder3 is missing in the Art folder, so I want the textbox to contain:
Folder3
...to tell you that you are missing Folder 3 in your Art folder.
I have two text files which contains are like this[code]..
When the original files find the same values in drill file than it must overwrite the original file the line from drill file. Let say original file contain T230 than it must serch for same value in drill file if it find than it must overwrite the original file line with drill file line. The content of drill file is not fix. It will allways be update according to need.
