I am just learning Visual Basic and I am following along in a book called "Build a Program Now!".I have an application that is calling a database in SQL and there are instructions for copying the .mdf and .ldf files from the bin folder to the project folder that should allow any changes made in the running application to be reflected in the rows of the database.I have copied the files as per the instructions, but the changes are not showing in the database.

I have a problem with the temporary internet files. I know how to locate the folder and all the rest, but I'm going to see what second c 'is in the folder with Explorer I see dozens of files, but when I go to see through code, I see only two files, index.dat and desktop.ini. I thought that the index.dat file is a kind of file that contains the files that I see through explorer, but it seems too light, and still do not know how to copy the files it contains.
View 2 RepliesBelow is a tiny program I modified from an example Microsoft code tutorial. This program simply copies .flac and .mp3 files from one specified folder to another, and if the file is already there it simply does not copy the file. I would like to make 2 changes to the program:
How would I go about making the error handling work (i.e. not crashing the program when an invalid input is made)?Also, a big change I would like to make would be for it to copy the folder structure and all files in the original folder (At the moment, it only copies files that are directly in the original folder, not files that are in folders inside the original folder).

I have some XML files that are needed with my application, they are included in the project, I have the properties set to:Build Action: ContentCopy to Output: Copy if NewerWhen I publish, they get included with all the other setup files, but when it actually installs they are not getting copied to the output folder. (I also tried Copy Always and that didnt change it)
View 4 RepliesI have attached my code. It works in a cetain sense. Basically what this does is change the wallpaper every couple seconds. It sets the registry value for the wallpaper and then refreshes the screen. I also have it converting images from .jpg to .bmp and copying to a folder. The registry gets set, the images get copied to the folder and the wallpaper gets set as a random one(that all works). But it just displays a blank picture. If I manually select the picture from the display properties it doesn't display correctly either. I think the problem lays in the conversion process.

I have an issue with the Windows permission system. And every time it tries to do something that needs a windows permission (to be ran as administrator) it fails !
At the moment I was trying to implement an updater which should download a file from an ftp site but because copying a file into one of the program files folder requires a permission I am not able to do this.

copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.Example:

if C:Data doesn't contains "temp" or "test" folder, it should create the folder before copy the 1.txt.[code]....
I have some textboxes that I need to get data to on another tab, everything works beautifully until I get to one and that is where the client ID has to be filled oin to that textbox. I have a chkBox that will verify the data that is suppose to be put over intothe tabbed page and if I check it, it will put the data into the textbox. Yet if I leave it unchecked the data does not get copied.

I have three data files that I include with my project. They are all set to Build Action Content and Copy to Output Copy Always. I have a preferences form that allows the user to copy these files to a folder of their choosing. It works fine in the IDE. However, when deployed one file will copy but the next returns an error the the file cannot be found. In the following code block a deployed application will copy ABW11Data.sdf but cannot find 100610_40.dtb or 2118@005.dtb. They are in the deployment files and I can search and find them in the clickonce installation although they are not in the same place as the ABW11data.sdf.
If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed = False Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "ABW11Data.sdf", TextBoxFolder.Text, True)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "100610_40.dtb", .SelectedPath + "100610_40.dtb", True)

I'm trying to program that specific data will be copied to the clipboard so the user can paste it in, for example, Excel or Word. I already know that the following code can do this:Clipboard.setdataobject( " some text " )But that's where my problem just starts. It seems I can only copy the data to Excel and Word etc. as long as my application is running. As soon as I quit it, the clipboard is empty.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing an app to print a list of beers that are currently on tap at the restaurant where I work part-time. We have 29 taps and dozens of different beers. I have 2 tables in a database (one with the "master list" of all the beers and an "on tap" one with one entry per tap). Each database entry includes fields for name, brewer, location, style and ABV. So far I've made a GUI with 29 combo boxes (one for each tap) and 2 buttons (one that opens a dialog box to modify the "master list" and one to print the list). The idea was to make it as simple as possible since the people who use it aren't great with computers and are often in a hurry.
Each combo box drops down the whole master list of beers and I'd like for the selected beer to be written to the corresponding index in the "on tap" table. My idea is to then extract the data from the "on tap" table and print it. I haven't done any coding yet, really, just drag-and-drop.It's frustrating since I know how I'd do the back end in C or C++, but not in VB. The reverse is true for the GUI.
I'm planning to create an VB.net application for retrieving data from a database (MS Access) and store it to a web server (MySQL data base). I really have confusion in my mind. I'm planning to use task scheduler so that the program will automatically run. I'm planning to set the time every 5 minutes.How can I avoid the redundancy of data? For example, I'm planning to get the sales for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes I will do it again. I think there will be redundancy in that case.

this is in reference to my main post here update mdb with data from different tables in dataseti have two tables in a dataset called dsSource. dsSource.Tables(0) has the following columns: ,,,,,,,code,art,sizerng1,sizerng2,sizerng3,etc...... dsSource.Tables(1) has the following columns: ,,,,,,,code,art,size1,size2,size3,etc...... the conditions here are: 1) to look for "1" in columns sizerng1, sizerng2, etc. of dsSource.Tables(0) 2) match code and art on both tables finally if both conditions are valid then the size values in columns size1, size2, etc. will be assigned to columns in sizerng1, sizerng2, etc. my main concern here is i have to loop through all rows in both tables which takes a long time, so is there a better way to do this than the code i have below?.

I need to copy data using Vb.net if possible from one excel spreadworbook to another and place the data into the correct columns in the existing excel spreadsheet. The column titles of the spreadsheets match up, I have several templates I need to place data into and the order of the columns is different in each template so I need a way of searching for a column header in the template and then copying the data into that column.
View 1 RepliesI've written a very simple program that writes a tiny "config.cfg" (text) file to the computer (using StreamWriter), and a second program that is supposed to read that data back.
Unfortunately, it appears you can't save to the same folder as your program under Win7 ("Program Files (x86)" is a restricted folder.) So instead, VB automatically saves my data to the "C:Users(myname)AppDataRoaming..." folder. This is annoying, but tolerable.
PROBLEM IS: How does my second app then FIND my data file (without doing a time-wasting drive search every time the program is run?)
My code:
' Program #1:
Private Sub cmdSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSave.Click
Dim FileWriter As New StreamWriter("config.cfg")

I created a VBA project in Excel. I would like to figure out how to transfer the data back in forth to make a more presentable and user-friendly program in VB Studio.Basically, I need my form in VB to input data to into an excel �workbook.data�, where the calculations are preformed. Then I need to copy the finished excel data cells �workbook.results� and paste them into an end result form in VB. I have tried looking at threads and cannot come up with a solution. There is no data saved each time the program runs, so I don't have a database.
