View 2 RepliesThe following code for installing log messages has worked on Windows 7 and XP, until I came across an XP machine where someone had deleted the Temp file under Documents and Settings/ComputerName/. Is there a safer location to install a log file?Path.GetTempPath doesn't seem to be the best idea.
Public Sub appendLog(ByVal message As [String])
Dim format As String = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff"
System.IO.File.AppendAllText(System.IO.Path. Combine(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath

End Sub
I've mainly been doing ASP programming up 'til now, and I have a pretty simple question.
I'm creating a program that will copy a selected file to a selected directory, and I want to store recent files/dirs so that they can be selected from a combo box. I was planning to just create a settings with "files" and "dirs", and just store the strings as | separated values (since that's an illegal file character).
I'm using vb.net and need to download a file (from a given URL). The problem is that the directory is password protected. (Using standard .htpasswd)?

View 8 RepliesI am developing a website in ASP.Net and VB.Net to allow users to upload and download files from and to an FTP site and my desktop.
I have successfuly got the upload side working.
As far as the download part is concerned, I have so far got it so that when the user goes to the download page, the FTP file list appears so you can see the files that are currently residing on the FTP site.
I was wondering if there is a way that I can program my site so that the user can select one of the files and click on the 'Download' button that I have?
Here is my code so far:

View 1 RepliesFirst off, I am completely new to VB and have no previous programming experience. I was required to take an Intro to Visual Basic class.
As a result, I was assigned to write a program for my final project. My professor wanted us to challenge ourselves and try to design something we would use. While my fellow classmates chose damage calculators and stat calculators, I chose to write something that would move files around. It was challenging for a beginner, but i figured i would be able to find alot of help in my book and online. I'm impressed at myself that I've made it as far as I have, but I've hit a snag in the road.
The project is due friday, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the files... which is a bit of a problem.[code]....
Is there a way to check if a user(or code) has selected a file or directory?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.

I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.
I developed a file converter to convert videos, audio and pictures.Now the program works fine for me and other users. However i updated the program and the last two users i have sent it to had problems using the program.What I want to know if i created a program using vb net 2008, compiled it, would this program then work on ANY pc running vista/7. Or are there things the users MUST install for them to use it for example do they need to download and install .NET Framework etc..

View 12 RepliesI'm getting a new computer, and I want to keep VS 2005 instead of upgrading because:
- I don't want to have to upgrade all 143 of my projects.
- I don't like the way VS 2008 looks.
- VS 2010 is just slow to the point of absurdity.
- I don't want to have to re-download the whole package and install it, which took about 4 hours for VS 2008, 10 hours for VS 2010.
Is there a way to just copy everything over? It's Express Edition. Also, would the old setup file work, or is support for VS 2005 completely gone?
Can you add a folder with files (which could be changed manually) and once I install the program the folder will be copied into the installation folder?

Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.
View 2 RepliesI built a Windows application and I created the setup file and it installs and runs like I want it to. I would like the application to install in a certain directory on the computer it is installing on. That means the setup has to create the directory and install the application in it.I also have folders with pictures and a sound file I would like it to install in a separate directory under the directory previously created.

View 2 RepliesI created a small application and an installer project for it. I can install and also run it, only thing htat i dont like is that during setup, it downloads .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and this takes long sometimes. I want to have it on the installation CD later.
I have seen in the installer's detected dependencies, that there is the 3.5 framework contained and it has a InstallURL property = [URL]..I am a little confused about all the Framework stuff on this site - so just 3 simple questions:
1) which file exactly do i have to download,
2) where to put it and
3) what to write into the property InstallURL then? (Maybe needed to change also other properties)?
how you can choose the directory to install your program to because when I publish the program it installs only to the directory it was published to! would I need another program to move the files to the directory I want?also im using .mdb files in the program and I want these files to be installed to the same directory but the files arent even in the Application files folder when it is created so when I run the program I get an error telling me the program cant find the .mdb files at the location specified in the code
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersdazzaDesktopUserid.accdb
that is my connection string, obviously when I install the program it isnt going to be correct so how do I change it oce the program has been built#
im an amateur programmer making a program for somebody else. i need to get it to run out of the box no problems and i need to find a way to automatically find the desktop for xp but it would be nice if the same code worked on vista/7 to but thats only if its convenient.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a setup project for my application. I have a file, dbconnection.xml, that I want to be installed to C:Program filesmyAppdbconnection.xml regardless of where the user chooses to install the application. I've added the program files 'special folder' and have a subfolder, myApp, under that where I place this xml file.
For whatever reason, no matter where the user installs the application to, the XML file is placed in the install directory, not in c:program filesmyApp.
