View 16 Replies(Currently using VB.NET 2010 Express) I'm trying to make a program, the main of which is file transfer. I'm trying to create a program that will keep files and folders synchronized across multiple client computers. I'm using a File system watcher to trigger events, and Using a simple System.Net.Sockets UDP client transfer (found via google) to transfer commands between it and itself on other computers.
Here's that code (this just sends from one textbox to another over the internet)
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text
Dim udpClient As New UdpClient(1024)
Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)

By this method, I can rename, move, or delete files. I want to implement file transfer, so that whenever a new file is created, or updated, my program will automatically transfer the file to the other computers and update them there.
In the cmd prompt, I can copy multiple files into one file, and I was wondering, how would I do that in VB 08?

I created a Right-Click Menu option for files. When the user clicks the menu option it will copy all of the file paths to the clipboard.The following function I have will retrieve all of the filepaths to the clipboard. The problem lies in adding the filepaths to the listbox. If I turn single instance application off the result is multiple instance of the application for each filepath. Say for example I selected 2 files and clicked my right-click menu, I wind up with 2 instance of my exe with each file path added to the listbox, 1 in one listbox, the other file path in the second instance listbox.
Public Sub getthepath()
Try
Dim thefilepath As String

Is there a way to loop through each file path from the clipboard and add them to the listbox through a loop?Several times I have tried different ideas I had that I thought would do it and I got odd results but never a good result.

View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new to VB.NET, and I'm working on a text editor with a tabbed interface. I deal with large text files. Should I have each tab / text document open up in a new thread or a process? I basically want the entire application to always run fast as the text editor is just one part of it. If I have several large text files open I don't want the rest of the application slowing down a bit.
View 2 RepliesUsing VB/VS 2010 and am trying to provide the user with a way to change the color of the control buttons on my main windows form. I'm starting with the button click event that then calls another sub-form (code shown respectively below).
I was testing with DirectCast as I need to deal with a multitude of button controls (i.e., will have more than the two shown below).
I would like to know how to deal with the following:
1. How do I save the BackColor so when the user opens the form for the first time (or any other time thereafter) the color set earlier appears (the default via properties is green).
2. When I click on the button for the first time and change the color it doesn't change until I click the button again.

I need to loop through a gridview to find records that match items in a different table (in SQL).

When I create more than one instance of the same form and I call a method on any of these instances, the code only fires on the most recently created instance. Even when I click a button on that form, it executes on the other form. How can I call these and keep them as distinct objects?
For example: if I build Form1 with a public method called ChangeMyColor and a button to call that method. Then in the main app I set MyForm1 = New Form1
and MyForm2 = New Form1, then call MyForm1.ChangeMyColor, the color changes on the second instance. Even if I click that button on the first instance, the color still changes on the second.
I need to write a small program to get a certain task done, but I have zero experience in manipulating text files. how to write the following program:The program should take all the text files in a folder, and add the data in a csv text file, with columns:
Text file Name, Content of text file Easy as that. I'm sure this cannot be that hard, please give me a start on this.
I am building a sort of 'lightweight' Visual Studio, and I'm trying to implement the feature where you can drag tabs to different 'tab groups', viewing multiple tabs side by side.
I got nearly everything working, I show a ContextMenuStrip when you rightclick the tab headers, with the option of creating a new (horizontal or vertical) Tab Group. When that happens, a new TabControl is added dynamically and the selected tab is moved there. You can drag the tabs around inside a TabControl and even from one to another.
The problem now is keeping track of the 'active' tab. Since I have multiple TabControls (not just two, there can be as many as you want theoretically), their SelectedTab properties are basically useless. How am I to determine which TabControl the user is currently working in? Obviously I will always have multiple selected tabs, but only one active tab, in which the user is currently typing, editing, whatever.I need to know the active tab for obvious reasons: many menu and toolbar items act on the active tab for example. A short explanation of my controls:I have one TabGroupContainer control, which inherits UserControl. I have a TabGroup control, which inherits TabControl.I have a Tab control, which inherits TabPage.
The TabGroupContainer holds a collection of TabGroups (to which I dynamically add/remove TabGroups when required). Now I want the TabGroupContainer control to have the ActiveTab property which returns the one and only active tab (out of possibly many selected tabs).The only logical way is to keep track of the tab that was selected last, for every TabGroup.
At the moment, I am doing this:
- In the TabGroup (TabControl) class, I shadow the SelectedTab property (and return a Tab instead of a TabPage). More importantly, in the property setter, I raise a SelectedTabChanged event:
vb.net
Public Shadows Property SelectedTab As Tab
Get
Return DirectCast(MyBase.SelectedTab, Tab)
[code]....
However, it still doesn't work. I soon figured out why: I am checking that the previously SelectedTab is not the same as the new value in the property setter of the (shadowed) SelectedTab property. I don't raise the event when they were the same, and in this case they were the same (as there is only one tab in the TabGroup!).So, I took that check out, and now it seems to work when I click in the text editor.
So one problem remains: the active tab is not changed when you click on the tab header (and not on the text editor). I am clueless as to how I should handle this... I am once again sure there is a simple fix, but I cannot see it. I can click the tab header, and I'm sure behind the hood it responds to this click, but it never raises it SelectedIndexChanged event because the index didn't change but was set to the same value it already had. I cannot override the SelectedIndex property (so I could skip this check and raise the event anyway even if the value didn't change), and the OnSelectedIndexChanged method is not called, so I cannot use that either...
I have many text files in a folder. What I can do now is to read through one text at a time and insert it into the database. My little app reads a text file when I debug it. So, I need to run it several times to read all those text files and import them into the database.

View 13 RepliesI am running batch jobs on a job scheduler. One of the step is called 6 times so that we can execute the step parallely (to utilize the max server resource and to execuet the step in less than 2 hours rather 6hours). At the end of each instance it has to create a text file (6 instances = 6 text files) and the next job in the queue only runs when it could find all six files,
I am trying to create 6 dummy text files using vb.net.

i'm currently making a client database program for work that stores data in multiple text files (so that the information won't be confused as to which info belongs to who in the database). Each client has his/her own text file, which isn't really a problem although i realize it's a bit messy. A listbox holds items, each item a person's name.When the listbox selected index is changed, the streamreader opens the corresponding textfile, which is as such: "John Doe.txt", and populates the correct textboxes with the information stored in "John Doe.txt".What I'm unfamiliar with is implementing a search function.
1. search query entered
2. streamreader reads through all txt files in a directory looking for matching keywords.
3. if a match is found in a txt file, it looks at the name ("John Doe.txt"), gets the corresponding listboxitem, and finally, once the textboxes have been populated with the info in the file, highlights the matching keywords.
4. then i figured if there was more than 1 match over more than 1 txt file, you could repeat the process and skip to the next match via the tab key (like the find feature of a WebBrowser or other such application).
What i don't understand is how to read multiple text files, search in keywords, highlight the matching keywords, or the tab function..I know that's a lot to ask on a forum, but I had nowhere else to turn.

I'm trying to implement Bandwidth Total calculation into my little desktop monitoring program using 2 *.txt files. Everything else is working great except for the writing/reading part of it. I had put this together originally without the intention of bandwidth monitoring, but I've decided it would be a good thing to have.I want to have 2 monitoring types: Windows Session Bandwidth Total & All-Time Bandwidth Total (since the program was 1st run on the machine).
