Creating And Accessing An Environment Folder?
Jun 6, 2011
I have written a data analysis program and I want to keep a list of recently accessed data files. I have kept this list in a text file in the same directory as my .ese file which is installed in a subfolder in my programs folder. But in Windows 7, it is not possible to write to files in the programs folder without assigning privileges to that folder which I found confusing to do. I would rather not subject clients to this process. It seems like a good place might be in one of the user folders. But I have no idea of how to go about establishing a path to such a folder in code. I thought it might be possible to identify an environment path such as %userapps% or some such thing that would work in both Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I would also like to generate a .log file in the same directory to aid in debugging.

I need to create a DLL that's callable from C, that executes database queries and returns results. The first tool I reached for was VB, and I found it easy to create a DLL, but when I view the DLL using dumpbin /exports, I don't see any functions.
So, my questions:
1) Is VB the right tool for the job? If not, (The ideal solution would be a 3rd-party DLL that will let me do database queries -- a friendly higher-level wrapper above ODBC. I've searched around and come up empty, but maybe I haven't looked in the right place).
2) If VB is the right tool for the job, how do I export a class method so that it's callable as a function in a legacy C environment?
More details:
1) The target environment is Mercury Loadrunner VUGen. It's able to import DLLs and make function calls, but the environment is (non-.NET) legacy C.
2) My development environment is MS Visual Studio 2008

I'm writing an application in which the user can select files from a directory structure. My problem is that I only have the C: drive and a D: drive. I also need to be able to provide access to the "Desktop" directory structure. How can I add the Desktop directory structure to a "Directory" control? I basically need something like Windows Explorer.

I have some variables that are distinct by numbers, like in1, in2...If I have for loop, how would I access those variables, using the counter, and attaching it to the variable?I believe in JAVA, you could just use in+ct... where ct is the counter to access the variable.also how could you make a new variable in the for loop?Initially I had variables declare outside of the for loop. The problem was how to access those variables using the for loop.
var_nm1 = in1.Text
var_nm2 = in2.Text
var_nm3 = in3.Text
Dim nmList(2) As Integer

I'm not really much of a programmer, so I was hoping I could get a little assistance with a simple task.
Quite simply, all I want to do is create a small program that creates a new folder on my C drive, and inside that folder, I want to generate 99 subfolders, named 01-99. I want to be able to input the name of the new folder, click a button, and then voila99 subfolders inside it. That's all I need.
I am pretty good at creating forms, and I already have an idea of how to design it, but the code, nahhh. Thirty years ago, I could probably come up with a for-next loop, but not today.Would anyone be willing to provide a snippet of code that might do this? PS: If anyone is wondering why the heck I need 99 subfolders in a folder, here's why I have a car stereo that supports USB flash drives. I have a 16 GB flash drive, but the car stereo only recognizes 99 folders. There are far, far more than 99 folders on the flash drive, so I have to consolidate them. That's it.

When I programmatically create a shortcut to a folder like this:
CODE:
All works fine.
But I need multiple shortcuts. I tried this:
CODE:
But it seems that VB NET is creating the shortcuts over the previous ones and all that I have after runtime is the last one - a shortcut to C:.
How can I create multiple shortcuts to multiple folders in the same folder?

How would I create a shortcut of my exe file when its run, I can work out the directories and stuff but how would I actually create the program that it starts when windows boots?
I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.

I was just wondering if this is possible. I have a site that admins use to add products to our database. The database is in SQL Server 2008 and I use Visual Studio 2010 using VB.net and was hoping that upon addition of a new product, it would automatically generate a folder assigned to that product's ID.I haven't found anything online that would suggest that this is a possibility, but it would make it a lot easier for me. As of right now, I have to remember to create a folder in the X: drive for each product that has been added. We are up to 645 products now,
