View 12 RepliesI am trying to get the HDD Disk Drive information from the DeviceIOControl(,,,,,) function with IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX control code.
Here are the problems :
1. The DeviceIOControl function returns(as from output buffer) DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure. Which contains some data types i am unable to get. I used. Uint32 instead of Dword. Long instead of Large_Integer.
2. DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure contains a union declaration as mentioned on MSDN , HOW TO GET A UNION in VB.NET or vb 6.
3. Still when i tried declaring the data types as mentioned earlier gives an error (Value does not fall within the expected range.) executing the DeviceIOControl Method.

I'm developing a system info application. I've Searched all over internet and only found code for Free Hard Disk space, but not Total hard disk space.
The code should calculate the Total space of all the drives.
I am new to VB and playing with a program to display disk info attached to my PC. I have used WIN32_DiskDrive & WIN32_LogicalDisk to gather info regarding volumes, disks and partitions.
What I want to find how is how to relate the Device Index and Partition # back to a volume (ie with a drive letter).
I have seen examples of enumerating through the available drives on a computer to obtain information about the drives.
But how do you change the volume label of a specific drive?

i want to knw the locetion of my file in the disk drive.....
I have a program that must copy a file to 3 locations, the local hard disk, a USB drive, and a network location. I have the file (about 70mb) loaded into a byte array. My quesion is, since I'm not actively modifying the byte array, can I impliment a form of multithreading where all 3 threads read the same byte array at the same time?
View 1 RepliesI am using VB from Visual Studio.net 2008. I need to understand how to build a VBScript or Application that will detect when a flash drive is inserted into a Windows XP SP2 system. Once the drive is detected, the VBScript/App must then automatically search for any available .ppt file (power point) located in the root directory of that flash drive. If the .ppt file is found, pptview.exe will launched opening the file in question.
This script will be located in the startup folder and will run until a flash drive is entered and then it should pause until the flash drive is removed and then start searching again. This is for a kiosk to be used at trade shows for a company I am working with. The company wants this to be simple and automated and only requiring that the user setup the kiosk, which has no keyboard or mouse, plug in a flash drive with a .ppt file on it. The system will then automatically load the slideshow and play until the system is shut down or the flash drive is removed.
I am pursuing this option because an autorun.inf file on the flash drive only adds another line item to the autoplay dialog. Although it may be possible to write a small script that will select that item, there is no guarantee that the user will have that autorun.inf installed on the flash drive in question.
Also it may be better to copy the .ppt file into a temp directory on the kiosk machine, so that in the event that the flash drive needs to be removed there is not data transfer taking place, minimizing the possibility of data corruption.
Most of the file handling I may be able to handle on my own, but it is the detection of the flash drive insertion and removal that is a problem. I am looking for some clarity on this point first. I may ask other questions later, but for now that is the biggest hurdle I have to cross. [URL]..
I need to detect if a [blank] media (CD/DVD) is inserted into the D: drive for an internal software I'm writing. The drive is static as drive D:. How can I tell if media is inserted, first off, and secondly, is it possible to tell if it's blank?

im working on a little app for my self, to make my life a little more convenient. I have some media keys on my laptop, and I would like to use them with itunes while it is minimized. I found a app that did it for me a long time ago, but cant seem to find it now. But I would like to try my hand at my own, and I've managed to do so, but, my app has to be in focus for it to work. is there any way to still detect when these media keys are pressed while my app is out of focus?
View 9 RepliesI am messing around with the WMPLib component provided by Windows Media Player 12 (wmp.dll) in VB.NET with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
I am trying to retrieve a media item from my media library based on its name (assuming there are no duplicate names). At the moment, I'm grabbing the entire media library, and looping through every media item, and quitting the loop when I've found the correct media item. This works well (except for when a media item with that name cannot be found), but I was hoping there was a more efficient way of doing this.
Here is my code so far:
Public Class WMPTest
Private myWMP As WMPLib.IWMPCore
Private myMediaCollection As WMPLib.IWMPMediaCollection

So what I really want is a way to optimize findTrack() to do its thing without looping through the entire media library (which could be huge).
I have created a media player (vb.net 2005) using the media player control. Plays fine when using open dialog box and url. I have set my player as the default player but when I click on a media file, the player will open but not play. I am sure it has to do with on open event and coding the url to see the selected file just like any other media player out there.

I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.
In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.
I want to make a tool that will assign a USB pen drive a drive letter, I am using WMI to acknowledge the device being plugged in, I can pull the deviceID, name, etc now I just need to work out how to assign the device to a drive and I just cant figure it out
View 4 RepliesThe drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to determine if a drive is local or a network drive?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.

View 14 RepliesI have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.
The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.
My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.

View 1 RepliesFirst off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.
