I have a dynamic path and every time I want to check it and if it is the root of drive warn user, so I am doing this:
Code:
If MyPath = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(MyPath) Then
'Warn user
End if
MyPath is returned from a control like FolderBrowseDialog so I'm sure it cannot be an invalid path...
here i am getting this path
System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
"D:ProjectsCompan1Compan1binDebug"
but i want to load report1.rpt that is reside in Reports folder under application root like we did in asp.net application
Dim rptPath As String = Server.MapPath("~/Reports/rpt1.rpt")
If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
'Report.Load(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "/Reports/" & ReportName & "")

For those of you interestested in mathematics you can find a root of a number in two different ways. Lets say you want to find the 5th root of 27.

I just made my first .net website. I'm trying to use the following line of code to load a file from the current directory ( same diredtory all the web files are in). I get a error saying file does not exist
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("installerform.html")
I copied the file to my c drive and chnage the line to
InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:installerform.html")
it worked, but now my site has to run a godaddy's webserver, so I cannot save stuff in the c drive, just my web directory.
How can I get My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText to read files from the websites current directory?

How can I get the location of the physical root directory of my website in VB.Net?
I am using visual studio 2008 and vb.net
I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.
View 5 RepliesMy website is in the root directory, which is [URL]. I am using this:
Dim appPath As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath
Dim directory As String = appPath & "/upload/" & Left(TableName, 2) & "/"
to get the path and it's working very well. But when I create a new sub-folder and copy some pages from the root directory into the sub-folder, my images are not displayed because the path has changed. This is the link from the page in the root directory:

How to fix ?
First 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.

View 8 RepliesI'm using then next method to check if a directory exists but it seems it doesn't work.
[Code]...
For example, I clicked the Add Text box button, so it added 3 text boxes in the form (I used Dynamic text box so it can add multiple text box). When I input data to one of those 3 text boxes and then Save button has been clicked. It should checked whether the dynamic text boxes are empty or not. If there are empty text boxes, then saving data to db should not be continued and display a message telling the user that empty field(s) are invalid.
In the code below, it saves the data even if there are empty text boxes and I think because it is in the for loop, it checks the text boxes one by one and repeatedly displays the message box that I coded.
Here's the complete code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

View 3 RepliesI have a datagridview with a bunch of columns, one of them being an Image type (DataGridViewImageColumn).What I want to do is basically check to see what the file path of the image in one of those cells is.
I've tried doing like:
If (DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString = "some path" then
'do stuff here
End if
but it always says DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString is just "System.Drawing.Bitmap", instead of the actual file path of the image in the cell.I've also tried the above, without the .ToString, but I get an error saying System.ArgumentException was unhandled (Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'.)
