Would it be possible to add a .exe to my resources and when the user clicks a button on the form it will create a directory ( C:My apps ).then add the .exe from my resources and launch the .exe from that folder.
View 12 RepliesIt's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)
My knowledge of VB.net is limited (only have been reading from the book)
so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
