Create A Program For A CD That Displays A List Of Files That Are Also On The CD?
Mar 10, 2011
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition - Visual Basic.I'm very new to VB but I would like to create a program / splash screen that displays a list of files (Word, Excel, Project) that are located on a CD. I'm not sure how to start other than starting out creating a new project.
Here is how I would like the program to work. The user inserts a CD-rom (containing the program and a folder with all the files) the program automatically starts up when the CD is inserted and it displays a list of all the files on the CD. The user can click any of the files to start the program that created it. Example, if we have an Excel file called "Work Schedule", the user could click it and it would open in Excel.
After I've created the project and have a form, I'm not sure what tools I need to use to display the list of files.I'm not sure how I set up the connection (path) between the program and the folder containing all files, especially as they will all eventually be located on the same CD.
I am trying to create a program which will allow users to select multiple files from a list and then burn them all to a playable DVD. It would be wonderful if i could setup a custom menu programatically as well. I have seen some documentation on Imapi 2.0 but i have not been able to find too much suppoert for it. I have also found a few SDK's out there but most are over $1000 which just isnt in the budget.
1) Is there a library included in windows 7 that will allow me to do this.
2) Is there an inexpensive or open source sdk with good documentation out there to do this with

I have to create program that adds the whole numbers from 1 to 1000 and displays the sum in the label. Create a variation of this program that allows the user to specify any starting whole number and any ending whole number (10,000 or lower) and then adds all the whole numbers in that range. Allow for the possibility that a user may start with a high number and end with a low number. Format the label so that commas are displayed and there are no decimal places showing. I need help with the codes.

I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes. After it searches it can open notepad and display the results. The problem I'm having is that I'm a beginner and not familiar with file enumeration.
Having a slight permission problem with Win 7 I am guessing it will be the same on Vista but work fine on XP (yet to try)But my program is sitting in: C:Program FilesCompanyProgram And its trying to create new files alongside itself in the Program Files area but bombing out which I know is permissions. If I go there to create the file myself it comes up with a UAC prompt and when I hit allow it works fine but obv the program can't do that byiteslf so bombs out.Is there anyway I can over come that without the user having to grant admin rights to the program each time it starts or do I have to write data to another place?
Heres my issue which has been bugging me all day and i haven't been able to resolve.
I have a DGV on a form (frmResults) this is linked to a bindingsource of type InventoryItem (popInventory is a list(of InventoryItem) and popular is a list of another class object (StockItem). here's some code to explain better
first the declarations in my globals module
Public Module globals Friend popInventory As New InventoryItem Friend popStock As New StockItem
[Code].....
ok what this routine is doing is on the results form is 2 dgv's the first contains stock to keep, the 2nd one contains excess stock to sell. what i get however is all cells on both DGV's are the last item to be read from the popular list. the items are adding correctly (varified with a breakpoint and looking at variables at the time. the popInventory item is added to the relevent List.
I want to build a recent files list into my program.
The hiearchy I currently have is "MenuStrip>File>Recent Files>File1".
I have a function which saves the files and opens them. It also stores the file name and file path in sperate variables:
CODE:
I would be able to change the text property of the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) to the SaveFileName easily, but how would I make it so that when you click the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) it opens the Savefile file?
I would also need the program to save this list so when I open the program again they are still there.
I am just wondering on how can i make a list of recent file opened on my program in vb.net. The recent files filenames must be in a linklabel in a form and in the menustrip.
I need to require the user of this program to select two text files from any directory. I then need to display them in a List View, which I have built. File 1 needs to load into the first column and File 2 needs to load into the second. They will correspond to each other.[code]...
I have created a drawing viewer that displays CNC files. The viewer itself is a user control that i have compiled into a dll. I added a reference to this dll to a windows application and added the control to one of the forms. I also have a reference to other custom dll's within this project. The application works exactly as expected. CNC files can be viewed by using the File>Open menu. You can open a single file or load multiple files into a buffer that will allow you to scan through them using Next and Previous buttons.
What i want to do is open this viewer from another application but have certain CNC files already loaded into the viewer. I know i could get this working but i don't think it would be the best way. Is there a way for me to include a list of files in a shell command? Perhaps the enitre viewer application should be included in a dll that has a LoadFiles() and Show() method.
I have got a lot of documents that gets automated in Word format which is great, but also I would like to be able to create and save documents in pdf format.
I understand there is software for converting and creating pdf documents but I want to know if I would be able to program any simple documents for a start myself in pdf format.
In my application for checking Irish Lottery numbers I have a form which displays a list of previous draws. The form contains a listview which is populated from a setting in my.settings as follows: [code] I would like to replace "Wednesday" with "Wed" before adding the item to the listview. I have tried using strings.replace to acheive this in various parts of the above code but each time the code runs the listview still displays the full day.
I'm just learning VB with the 2008 express edition.I'm trying to create a program that uses 3 list boxes.The first contains a list of products.After a search is preformed the second list box displays the products found.This is pretty simple, basic array stuff.My problem is moving items from the second list box into a third list box to purchase the product.I think I need to change the index numbers of the stuff I move into list box 3 because when I preform calculations with the stuff in list box 3, it seems to answer like its using the index numbers in list box1.So, how do you change the index numbers when you change list boxes?
I am creating a rather simple program to do nothing more to show a row form a database when the form loads, the program consists of 2 forms, form one has nothing more than a label and a button to load form 2, form 2 has a listbox where the database row is listed and a button to close form 2 and reshow form 1. The code i have so far is [code]...
I am creating a form with the resources which I am creating a programming with languages. I have created three resources which the one that are ZH-CH (Chinese), el-GR (Greece) and en-US (English-United States). I have also built some texts in the resources so I have debugged the program. Everything seen to be is fine, but I find that some weird stuff in the project bin folder. I found that the program has created three folders (ZH-CH, el-GR and en-US) with the dll file in each folder (Project1.resources.dll), I have renamed each dll files name with each different name and I have moved them in the bin folder, so I have deleted three folders. I ran the program again and they have created the new same folders with the same name where it was.
I want to use the same dll files that I have renamed (like each of these: English.dll, Greek.dll and Chinese.dll) without placing them in the resources folder. Id find it so impossible to avoid the program by creating these new folders with the same dll files name without using the files that I have renamed them and placed in the project bin folder. do to find out where the information in VB.Net application that are making the program to create the folders with the same dll files name (project1.resources.dll)?
I am currently trying to create a program to list a large group of numbers for me. My final goal is to have every 2, 3, 4, ..., and 9 digit number containing only "1" "2" and "3". I thought I would go about this by using the following VB.NET program and then copying it into a text editor, and using find & replace to eliminate all other numbers.
Public Class Form1 Dim Start As Integer = 333333333 Dim Counter As Integer = 333333333
[Code].....
it fails due to the massive amount of processing that needs to take place. However, adding the intervals requires a great deal of time for each number to be displayed without any crashes.
Is there some way (in VB.NEt or another language) to get the number list I want in a short (an hour or less) amount of time?

I created a new WinForm application then dragged a notify icon onto my designer. I coded my desired functionality for the NotifyIcon's behavior inside the Form1.vb file.I think I remember something about adding a module to the project, and setting the project to launch the aforementioned module instead of the form...but I can't figure out/recall how to keep the functionality I've coded into Form1.vb.
I make an application and make setup file using VS setup project. This work fine and create default text files into Program Files Folder for winodw 7/vista .but can not modify these files or create any new files.There are few text files need to create ,modify during application running ,but in windows 7/vista unable to create,modify files.I am using full default admin right for these OS. If iuse C: root path then application work fine or for win XP no problem.I think UAC restricting to perform these opeartion. But i do not know how to change these restriction using vb.net, whenever application start.

I found one solution that , if change user rights manually then this problem solved.Follow these step to change your account settings.Control Panel-->User Accounts and Family Safety-->User Accounts-->Change User Account Control settings-->Never notify(Set tab to never notify).After this change need to restart system.Now can make all changes like windows XP into Windows 7.can also make changes into program files.
Its working fine, but need to make these changes manually in OS.but its not efficent solution. So if any one knows how can make these changes by coding that will nice.
I am having trouble with my code for Guess my number. I am definitely amatuer. Yes it is a homework assignment. No I am not asking you to do it for me. But I am stuck.Your GUI program is a game to be played by the user. See Screen Shot on Screen Shot Tab..A new employee is working on a classified mission and the program will randomly pick an expected profit to be guessed by the user.The program must randomly select an number within the range of 1 to 900.Do NOT use a 'Start Game' button to generate the rand number. Generate a rand number when the GUI is loaded.
1. Create a form that displays the rules of the game on a label. 2. Create a textbox for the user to input the guess and also a 'guess' button. 3. If the user is outside the given range, provide a proper message (<1 Is not a valid guess or >900 is not a valid guess)and clear the guess. 4. When a user has a valid guess, display a proper message (either too high or too low) and tell the user to guess again. 5. With a correct guess, display a proper message and change the form's background color to red and disable the guess textbox. 6. Create a reset button that allows the user to play the another game with a new random number. 7. Create a show me button that displays the number and does not generate another random number (allow the current game to continue). 8. Create a exit button to exit the program. 9. Ensure that you include error checking to prevent a user guess that is out of the given range and for any non-numeric characters. 10. Create a single Help menu item that launches a message box that displays valuable and meaningful information for the program and usage. 11. Create a label that tracks the guess count per game. Each time a new number is generated, start the guess count at 0. 12. Create a max guess limit set to 5 and use a progress bar to track the progress to approach the limit. 13. After each valid guess (1-900), clear the guess and update a label/textbox that displays all of the previous guesses up to 5 entries.
Here is my code so far. I have been working on one point at a time and then testing it. I have not even made it to numbers 11 - 13. I am not getting actual errors. Instead of my reset button clearing all fields at once I am having to click it more than once. Instead of displaying messages per scenario the message label is staying on either input a number or your number is too low. My Answer is not displaying when Show answer is clicked-perhaps my answer coding is wrong? [code]
