Dynamically Building Filepaths In .Net?
Jul 1, 2009
Is there an easy way of dynamically building a filepath in .Net? At the moment I'm building the filepath by concatenating various strings (from application settings, user input and Date.ToString) but this relies on there not being double '' characters or illegal characters etc in the strings. Obviously I can manually validate the strings for this sort of thing but I was wondering if there was something built into .Net that can handle this.

I need to build a dynamic linq query with or operators. I have seen PredicateBuilder but that is in C# and my project is in VB. Basically I need to build a WHERE clause similar to this:
Where((this = 1 AND that = 2) OR (this = 1 AND that = 4) OR (this = 2 AND that = 4))
but the problem is the number will have to be determined dynamically at runtime, and added using a loop, like
for each item in myItems
query = query.OR (this = item.a AND this = item.b)
next

I'm currently attempting to use a .NET WebBrowser to display help information (stored locally in html files) for an application I'm writing, however I'm experiencing two problems, both related to hyperlinks.
Firstly, I have a search function which returns the correct URL in the format file:\C:... I can copy and paste it into a browser, and it will navigate there. Yet clicking on the link within the control itself does nothing at all.
Secondly, the HTML files all contain relative paths to other HTML files. These of course do not work as I just end up with file:\C:help.html which gives me a 'webpage is unavailable.' But I can't think of a way to get it to work without parsing the HTML file and concatenating the path to the directory on to the front of the link.
Just to clarify, in the first problem I am dynamically building a search result page as the user types. The HTML contains several results similar to this (yes, it's unfinished, I'm just showing you the link part): [code] Now, when I click on that link in the control nothing happens, it doesn't give me a 'webpage is unavailable' or take me to the actual page. Saving the HTML, however, and opening it with Chrome, IE and Firefox works fine.In the second problem, I have a different help file for different sections, each containing relative links to several others. VB picks these up as direct paths, and attempts to go there from root, i.e file:\C:file.html. The only solution I can think of is to parse the file and use WebBrowser.Navigate(Path.Combine(pathToDirectory, nameOfHelpFile.html), which seems a lot more inefficient than it should be.

I am creating a mediaplayer / playlist creator tool that basically imports MP3 songs into playlists (grids). I'm looking to add search functionality where the user can search all open playlists (or a subset of the open playlists). A Playlist is basically a collection of AudioFiles, where an AudioFile is a class that holds the filename of the MP3 file and then exposes the tags (Title, Artist, Album, etc) in public properties.
The idea is that the user can search for a certain expression (for example "the"), and that he can then choose whether to search in the title, in the title and artist, in the title or artist, in the title, artist and/or album, etc. However, I'm having a hard time implementing this and also having it kind of dynamic.
At the moment I am simply gathering all the AudioFiles from the open playlists (or from the subset of playlists the user chooses) and then running a simple LINQ query to find those AudioFiles where the Title contains the search text. Then I display the resulting AudioFiles in a new playlist window:
[Code]....
In case the AND / OR distinguishing is too hard, I would be happy to start with just letting it default to 'OR', so that the user can check Title and Album for example. If he would then search for 'a' then all songs that contain 'a' in their title as well as all songs that contain 'a' in their album should be returned. I guess that makes it easier, but I still wouldn't know how to dynamically create the LINQ query.

I've been working on trying to get a tree view (replica of a directory) parsed into file paths (i.e "Node/ChildNode/ChildNode2/Childnode3") etc.
I currently have this Which is getting there. I can pull out all of the child nodes, but have no way to actually determine which belongs to which parent.

I have this code.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim NPB As Button
Dim x As Integer
[code]....
As you can see, when I open a program from my menu, a new button will be created with text similar to this, "C:Program ". The button it self will not do anything. How can I create the method at the same time the button it is for is created? Also how can I change the text do that it gives me, for example, CCleaner.exe instead of the whole target path?

I can usually find the answers to most of my questions via the Google Gods, but not this time.I have a form that has a TabPageControl and on that page a collection of labels and text boxes via a usercontrol.
On the form I have a button that allows the user to create a new tabpage, when the code adds a new page, it automatically adds the UserControl collection. I can't get my head around how to access the objects on the newly created tabpage.
What I need to be able todo is take the index of the tabpage that has focus and translate that against the UerContol name, but I havn't a clue how to do it!

I have a search engine that will use a webservice to search through my database to find 3 specific things. I don't even know if it will work like this, but I have a dropdown list on my main page to select Product, Feature, Description. From what the user selects, the webservice should then go to an if statement to use the correct SELECT statement and find results for the search.
Will someone help me figure out how to fix what I've written to make it work? Please don't be too critical, I don't have a lot of experience. I have also been researching SQL Injection because I have a lot of code that is vulnerable so keep that in mind when you look at my code.
I can't get the blue squiggly lines to go away that are underneath the DropdownList1.Value instances on the WebService page.
WebService:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function GetCompletionList(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer) As String()
Dim Feature As String = DropDownList1.Value
Dim Description As String = DropDownList1.Value
Dim Product As String = DropDownList1.Value
[CODE]..........................
Default.aspx page - Here I need the dropdownlist to tie to the database somehow.
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
<Services>

I am trying to write simple database application and try to understand ADO.net as well.say I have 2 table
1. table emp with the following field (empId, empName, empPhone, salary, deptId)
2. table dept with the following field (deptId, deptName, deptLocation, deptManager)
emp table is link to dept table via deptId.so I try to build a form with 2 data grids the top will be dept data grid and below it is emp data grid.I try to do this with out using the wizard so I know the flow and understand how to link together step by step.
in the form load section:
dim conn as new system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection(connectionString)
dim daEmp as system.data.sqlclient.sqldataadapter
dim daDept as system.data.sqlclient.sqldataadapter
[code]....
I am kind of stuck on what to do next, I think the next step is to creat dataview from my understanding before mapping it to the datagrid, but on data grid documentation it say it can only filter datarow, it can't filter data column on the dataview.
I would like to be able to display deptName, deptLocation, no the whole column on the table to data grid, and when user select a record from dept datagrid then the employee info (empname, empphone, empsalary) is display on the second grid (again not the whole emp column table).
the user can update, add or delete emp record from employee data grid by clicing on update button, on update button callback routine I need to put something like.
daEmp.update()
from what my understanding then I need to create update, insert and delete routine and attach it to daEmp so the data grid know how to sync with sql server, so when the user say add new record since the data grid doesn't have all the field display, i.e deptId column is not on data grid, how the table know what the dept id would be? I'd like to learn without the wizard 1st since once I know how everything is link then it is easier to debug since the wizard create lots of file and it's everywhere which make it very hard to understand what is happening for someone new to vb & ado.

Okay Is there a way In vb.net to create an exe from a predefined script, for example rather than writting the methods and subs into the codedom code could I just have a textbox that I could put a script into and then have that built? (obviously omitting button presses and things.)
Im not worrying about ui's at the moment just and exe (hello world style )
Are there any tutorials for this?
Code: None

I'm interested in building a GUI CAD software in VB.NET, but I don't know from where to begin. I've looked in Audesks online help but there are no instructions, neither tutorials on the net for building something like this. When I'm saying GUI, I mean a work area, where you can use blocks from autocad and build a plan/circuit/PCB or other stuff like this.I'll be glad to see is this possible, and what kind of components can be used.

I have a VB app that uses a sqlServerCE database. Everything works quite fine on my computer.
When I try to install it on other computers I run into problems. The message "Unable to load the native components of SQL Server Compact corresponding to the ADO.net provider of version 8080"
I am testing on a Win XP virtual machine.
My first attempt was to use InstallShield LE to create the installer. I defined ServerCE as a prerequisite and when I check in add/remove programs it exists, but I still get the error.
Then I tried building the installer with the Microsoft installer. This adds the dll to the program directory automatically, but I still get the error.
I read the KB article referenced (874247) and recompiled the app as an x86 application only, and rebuilding the installer, but have the same problem.
