Determine Name Of A Program On Default Associated With A File?
Jun 13, 2009
Does anybody know of a way to determine the current name and link to the program on a computer currently as default associated with a file extension? For example, if you have a "*.jpg" file, it most likely will open in WINDOWS PICTURE GALLERY under Vista on default. If you associated another program with the "*.jpg" extension, then this file will be opened with tat program instead. "*.jpg" is here only an example!

Is there a way to get the program that is locking a file, in vb 2005?
For instance, when I try to open a file that is already opened by another program, can I get the name of the process/program that has locked this file?

How can I determine the default web browser, and then launch it with a specified URL?I was using this code, but since IE is less and less relevant, I thought I'd try to use whatever the computer user prefers. In this example I provided a SQL help site as the web site to load.
Code:
Shell("C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe " & "http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

I've been getting "Connection forcibly closed" errors and in researching a resolution, I have seen suggestions to money with the following web.config options, which currently are not set in my web app. Before I change them, I'd like to know what they are currently set to. Can someone tell me how to read these values from .NET code, preferably VB.NET, though C# is fine.

How do I make a program a default program for a file? As in if I had just a basic .txt file editor, I could make the program the default program for the extension .txt. I have tried just doing it in Default Programs, in Windows 7, and Windows XP. But when you click on the file it opens the program, but does not load the file. I plan on actually releasing the beta 2 a Office Suite I created.

Is there any way to determine how my application was closed. i.e. task manager, vs any standard close method. Actually my app is a dll that is used in an exe, so I really need to know how the exe program was shut down. Basically I am trying to write to a debug text file if the user has to shut down with task manager.

I need to prove that a VB.NET program that I wrote was written at a particular time.
(the reason is an academic integrity investigation where someone copied my code).
I have all the code on my disk including the debug and release folders, with my username in the build paths.
Are their addition things I could do, such as looking in the binaries?

I have created a vb.net program and released it to the customer. They are running the exe and at times the program crashes unexpectedly and display the message: "... has encountered a problem and needs to close" I know I should have added code to handle the exception, but is there a way that I can find out which line in the program caused the error? What is generally as good way to track errors in a program after it has been released?

I'm a beginner. I recently developed an application in C#. Now I wanna develop its setup. I read a few articles online, followed them, found it very easy. I also changed the default location of application folder from C:Program Files to C:. My application folder is containing a few folders besides exe and dlls which I added manually.
Now here the problem starts, when I install the application and change the location say from c: to d:, my files (all files including exe and dll) are going to user's given location. But my folders (all folders in application folder) are going to c: (which is default location given while creating setup). But I want output files and that folders at same location

I have Excel 2003 and 2007 loaded on my computer. When I open an Excel file, it is defaulting to 2003. How do I check to see what the default program is for opening xls files and change this to 2007 in my code? I have already done the following manually:
1-Open My Computer
2-Go to Tools --Folder options
3-Click the File Types tab
4-Scroll down to the XLS file type and highlight it
[code]....
However I am not convince that its defaulting to Excel 2007 when I run projects in VB as I am seeing the "File Conversion" prompt when file are open.

Is there any way to make Windows call a VB program instead of the default Internet browser?
What I want to do is to use a VB program with buttons down the left-hand side that when clicked will launch that URL in the browser windows of the form. This will prevent users from surfing in places they shouldn't but still allow them to get to the sites they need to get to for their jobs. These buttons could also change based on the username of the person launching the program.
But it all depends on being able to call this program in place of the browser when they click on a link in a email or somewhere else.

Is it possible to open a file with the default program installed on Windows ? Lets say we have the exact location of the file on the hard disk and it is a *.pdf file , how can we give the order for that file to get opened by the default program ? In case it matters , I want to open *.pdf and *.doc files . It doesn't matter which program exactly will load the file , the default is fine by me .

I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?
