I have stored an Access database path in the App.Config file, which is under [code]...
I need to know that if I want to derive the full pathname of the file (For e.g C:MyFolder est.mdb) at runtime, how do I do that?
how to use VB to access our SQL server - we've got an app that was coded in Access 2000, using DAO, which in Access 2010 (if I understand right)is DOA, and we should use ADO. So I worked up MSDN's example (http:[url].. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. I have added in a Reference for MS ADO 2.8 Library to my project. I can see in the Object Browser the ADODB Namespace, and I can look in there to see the ObjectStateEnum, and there is the adStateOpen enumeration. Wonderful. But in my code, I must put it this way:
"If m_oRecordset.State = ADODB.ObjectStateEnum.adStateOpen Then"
and not this way:
"If m_oRecordset.State = adStateOpen Then"
I must be missing some glaringly obvious thing, but none of the items that are declared as Public Constants in the object library are "visible" to my program. Why?

View 3 RepliesI am working on httpwebrequest method to read the php page from my site. What I am trying to do is to read the php page while read the html tags for each line, find the matched string that I have selected on the listview, then extract and get the full link of the tag called "delete" and then displaying the messagebox. Something would be like this:
[URL]
At the moment, I find it a bit difficult job to work it out on myself to get the right tag as each of them have got the same ids. The id I wish to extract from the page and get the full link is called delete. Something is like this:
<p id="delete"> <a href="delete.php?id=ANYNUMBER1">Delete</a></td><p id="delete"> <a href="delete.php?id=ANYNUMBER2">Delete</a></td>
Here's the php page
Hello
Delete
Whatever the strings goes
Delete
If you know how I can extract each of the tag to get the delete link with the correct id while read the php page and get the matched listview item that I selected.

I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

How can I get the full path to a file before adding it to the ListBox?
I am trying to get the full directory of a file. The file name is "GraphFix.txt". I know the directory up to a certain point and then in between the directory and the file there is a folder that is different on every computer and i need to get the full directory with that folder in it. I was thinking if i know the directory path up to a certain point i can just search the directory for that specific file and in return it will tell me the full path including that folder.

I have a vb.net project which i have inserted pictures and video. I inserted a video clip using the Windows Media Player control and it does work. The issue i have is that i can't move the program to another computer because the pathname for the video will be wrong. I know i could change the pathname when i move it but this is not practical because i need to present this program. Does anybody know how to make the video accessible no matter what location the program is at?

How do I get the full file system path to my DLL? I have found a number of calls/properties for "Name", "FullName" etc. The closest I have come is to call Me.GetType().Module.Assembly.GetName().CodeBase. But that string has stuff appended to the front of the actual filename. Plus I don't know if a codebase is always available (say if I don't do "regasm /codebase" on my assembly.I simply want something like "c: empmyproject.dll". That is, what GetModuleFileName would return. Surely I don't have to call Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Me.GetType().Module).ToInt32()) and then directly invoke the Windows GetModuleFilename API for something so basic.ps. I always wonder why there is an "Alert me" check box at the bottom of the post page. Never been alerted although it is always checked (my profile has my e-mail address).

i try add new item in the project but i can not see any app.config template.
I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?
