VS2010 .NET And Windows 7 Access Denied On Writing To Or Creating Files In Project Files Folder?
May 22, 2012Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

Creating Log Files For Troubleshooting?
Apr 6, 2009I am attempting to add code to an existing script that will add the log messages to the log txt file in order to determine which loops are running in the script. But all I get is either a blank log file or only one line which I believe is the last loop that ran and not a concatination of the loops that ran which I know is more than one.
How do I create a log file that will continualy grow?
These log calls are placed in each of my loops (I am just showing 2 as an example.)
log ("in loop 1")
log ("in loop 2")
etc

Creating Text Files Containing Chr(13) And Chr(10)?
Jul 15, 2010I am a beginner in vb 10 (vb.net). I am trying to create a text file "something.txt" and write a long string to the file. My string contains formatting chars newline and carriage return, which I want to keep.
I tried:
FileToSave.Write("test" & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "test2", RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)
using the System.IO.StreamWriter method but the line feeds and carriage returns are lost and all the text is just streamed together with no formatting.
Where 'FileToSave' is the path and name of the file. Note: I know I can use the vbnewline instead of chr(x) but this is not the issue.

VS 2008 - Creating New Schema (XSD) Files
Jan 22, 2010I recently started having problems when creating new schema (xsd) files inside Visual Studio 2008. When I create a new schema file, the only file that is created is the xsd file itself. Neither the designer.vb or xsc files are created, which of course makes it unusable. The problem seems to be caused by the fact that the CustomTool property in the property grid is missing. If I change the CustomTool property to MSDataSetGenerator, then it immediately runs and creates the missing files noted above. How do I reassociate the CustomTool with Schema files?

Creating Text Files To Slow - Any Alternative?
Oct 2, 2009what i am doing is downloading headers from a web server using a tcpclient which works great the headers describe diffrent files and there are hundreads per file, if i download the headers and write them to a text file using a streamwriter it works great, but i need the headers to be in a text file depending on the name of the file in the header, so i need them grouped together, i am now using streamwriter to write the headers to seperate textfiles depending on the filename in the header but it is reallllyyyy slow for some reason, im not sure if it is because it has to load each file then write to it? i only have to append the new header to the end of the text file i dont have to open it up and read through it.

View 4 RepliesHandle The Errors Inside .dll Files When Creating Them In .Net?
Jan 9, 2012I know this idea of - if message boxes are used to display error messages inside a .dll and when the .dll is installed in a different computer (possibly a server machine), errors occurring inside that .dll will be shown in the server and not to the user. Since practically there will not be a person near the server to click 'OK' to the error message every time it occurs it will stuck the programs using the .dll.
So how to write exception handling to a .dll project?

Visual Studio 2010 - Creating Hierarchy Of Files?
May 23, 2012I'm trying to create heirarchy of classes in vb.net. I was able to achieve it in csharp by using the following tags in .csproj
<Compile Include="ClassA.cs">
<DependentUpon>ClassB.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
Below snippet in the solution explorer would be as follows
I need to achieve the same in vb.net.
I'm new to vb.net. Can anybody tell me the alternative of <DependUpon> attribute used in .csproj equivalent in .vbproj. For some reason, this attribute seems to be ignored in the .vbproj even though it is displayed in the visualstudio2010 intellisence.
VS 2008 - Creating Array Of Files Found In Folder?
Apr 17, 2010I have following code somewhere in my VB.NET 2008 program to create an array of files found in a folder:
Dim objFolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strXMLImportPath)
Dim arrXMLFiles2Import As IO.FileInfo() = objFolder.GetFiles("*.xml")
...
UpdateFileQ(arrXMLFiles2Import)
[Code] .....
When setting "option strict" to on, I'm getting following error on the line:
lbFileQ.Items.AddRange(dirlist)
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'AddRange' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Sub AddRange(items() As Object)': Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Array' to '1-dimensional array of Object'.
'Public Sub AddRange(value As System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection)': Value of type 'System.Array' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection'.
Although everything works fine with option strict set to off, I'd like to correct this problem. Also note that array "arrXMLFiles2Import" is used later on in the program, so I can't change anything on that.
VS 2010 - Creating Library To Encrypt / Decrypt Files With AES
Sep 20, 2011I'm attempting to create a little library to encrypt and decrypt Files with AES. There are loads of examples of how to do this on the internet so coding is not a problem. There are however a few questions regarding cryptography and AES in general.
#1 Does the IV need to be kept a secret like the key ?
#2 Can I just hash a string with SHA512 to make a key for AES ? or do I need to use PasswordDeriveBytes ?
#3 In the case of me using PasswordDeriveBytes Do I need to keep the salt a secret ?(or do I need to keep it at all)
#4 Can I generate the IV from the same password that the Key is derived from ?(if so How ?)
