View 3 Replieshow to get a list of all the files in my remote folder. I want to have them listed in a listview (whatever) and download them seperately.
This is the code I have so far:
vb.net
Imports System.Net
Public Class frm_download
[Code].....
I ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name:
MYSERVER
[URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name:
downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt'
server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in:
"MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as:
<a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"

View 5 RepliesI am looking to create a startmenu like thing in my game, I have my 'desktop' all sorted out but struggling to create a startmenu that I can easily add stuff to via code. For instance when the form starts it will check a directory for DLLS, query each dll which will return a name. I then need to populate this menu with the 'installed' applications my game has. I have a start equivalent button then I just need to the actual menu.

View 7 RepliesI am dynamically creating and adding a ComboBox to a specified column in DGV. I also set a DataSource, DisplayMember and ValueMember for the created ComboBox. Somewhere else in my program, I select a number ( let's say 5 ) and based on that number I want to change the SelectedIndex of the current ComboBoxColumn ( I actually loop through the Columns collection ).I tried something like this in a event handler I created:
vb.net
Private Sub combobox_validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim combobox As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox = sender
Dim colIndex As Integer = combobox.Tag
[code]....
You will notice here, that I'm not actually trying to change the .SelectedIndex property, but the Value of the current cell.How do I reference the actual ComboBox?
I need to create multiple splitters, then getting that data and adding it into a DataGridView;
AAL1238:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:SEA;
AAL782:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9;
AAL1848:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL1360:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL1804:KSEA:KORD:1:1492.9:;
AAL6796:KSEA:KLAX:13:830.785:;
The First Splitter will be a ':', then the next one will be a ;. Per each line up there, I need to add that content into a row into a datagridview, So if you were to look at the datagridview, It would look like that data above exactly, But separated into the correct columns.
I have used this form to add new records on my database(ms access) in my database I have a column name 'ID' which is my primary key 'ID' is set as auto number. Now I am having a trouble on creating my update and delete button it's always saying "cannot be delete/update"
Here's my code on add, update and delete
Public Sub SaveRecord()
Try
Dim dbConn As OleDbConnection
Dim dbInsert As New OleDbCommand
Dim str1, str2, str3, str4, str5, str6, str7, str8, str9 As String
[Code] .....
Note my add is working perfectly fine. I just can find the error on my delete and update. Also I have used this to view it to my datagrid I don't know if its the right thing but it's working fine too.
'declared dbpath globally'
Dim dbPath As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0; Data Source=../VG.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
[Code] .....
Another thing is how to code each textbox and combobox to bind it to my records so that when I click on the datagridview each column will be distributed on each respective textbox.

I am dynamically creating and adding dropdown controls to DevExpress XtraGrid.That works fine and I can add a dropdown control to any column I wish.My main problem is that I need to have the first element in the dropdown control displayed. But after I dynamically add 3 dropdown controls to the grid, only the last one has the element displayed. The previous two do not.Although, I add the elements
this is what the code looks like:
vb.net
Dim column as DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookupEdit
For i as Integer = 0 to dsSometing.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
column = New DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookUp
[code]....
The code will go tru and add lets say 3 dropdown controls, set their .DataSource to datasets I need, but it will only show .NullText of the last added control.
I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.

I am trying to create a simple Word doc that when the user presses the button it takes the information in the boxes and tosses it into a template style paragraph. But my issue is that I have two combo list boxes as seen in the picture. I want to have two values in the drop down list as seen in the labels next to them but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in Word 2007. In Visual Studio this is much easier but I am work and need to snap this out for the folks at work. Is there an option that I can choose in the properties where I type in the values for each drop down or do I have to add them in at run time?
