i want to store 2 files in the program and the user clicks the button a dialog shows and the user go to the directory he wants to add these 2 files that stored in the program, How to Do This??
I have added two images as a resource in my project. I'd need to copy these images to a certain folder when the program is started. I'm not familiar about using resources, so far I have managed to set a picturebox to show one of these images like this:
Dim res() As String = GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames() pBoxTest.Image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap( _ GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(res(0)))
But I don't know how to get the url of that image so that I could copy it from it's url to another place.If I now try to find out the location of that picturebox's image I get an empty string: MsgBox(pBoxTest.ImageLocation)This should work in any computer where the program is run so of course I can not just hardcode the path of this resource.
If I have say a wav file as a resource in a form, is there a way that I can extract it when the program is run and set it as say... the windows logon sound? Or perhaps an image and set it as the wallpaper? Or does it have to be an external file that the form would have to handle?
Dim ResDllHandle As IntPtr = Kernel32Dll.LoadLibrary("C:WINDOWSsystem32shell32.dll")
Dim ResHandle As IntPtr = FindResource(ResDllHandle, "#130", New IntPtr(WinUserH.RT_BITMAP)) Dim ResSize As Integer = Kernel32Dll.SizeofResource(ResDllHandle, ResHandle) Dim ResPtr As IntPtr = Kernel32Dll.LoadResource(ResDllHandle, ResHandle) Dim ResByteData As Byte() = New Byte(ResSize - 1) {}
I have an exe which I am wanting to deploy to my userbase. I have a bunch of embedded resources which are used throughout the application and they work fine.What I need help with is copying an entire subfolder of embedded resources to a specified directory on the local machine.[code]So I need to copy the entire subfolder (keeping its file structure) to a specified location.
So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)
I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.
I was just wondering how to extract or parse any particual tags (whichever I specify) from webpages. I know how to extract text and links from webpages, but I tried to use the same method from the following code for div tags, title tags etcetera and it doesn't seem to work:
I have a copying error with my program. I am trying to copy the internet cache folder, and the error states that some files cannont be copied (read only maybe?) How can i make it copy, or just skip the uncopyable files?
I've got an app which uses a background worker to copy files. It works fine but some files are quite large and it "appears" as though the app isn't doing anything. Is there an alternative to the File.Copy method of copying files so I can report on the progress of individual file copies, like the percentage complete?
I have been working lately on a program who extracts URl Source codes!The program does work with most of URL but not for MEdiafire URL!When i check the source code from the web browser i can see there is some code missing;y tried diferrent types of Encoding.
Example:This is the final source code extracted from WEBBROWSER(Firefox,InternetExplorer,GoogleCrome)
I am trying to extract text from an htm file (output.htm) to write into an SQL database.
I used "pdftotxt" to re-write the original pdf document into an htm file, in 'raw' format, and end up with lines like this:
Sun20 Off 0330 0329
[Code]....
What I am trying to do, using the above example, is to look for anywhere in the list where a date(e.g Mon24) is followed by lines containing KL ####, and to extract the date and the KL #### for writting to a database.
It seems like a huge task that is way beyond my limited capabilities, so I would be very grateful for some sample code in VBasic.
So, I have a task where I need to basically copy about 600,000 PDFs, some of which can be 5-6 MBs from one network fileshare to another network fileshare on another pc.Now, I crawled through the directories, sub-directories etc etc and created what I call a Filename/Filepath Database lookup table. This table contains the name and the unc fileshare path of each file which comes in handy.I have used Multi-threading and File.Copy to "copy" the files and I getting about 45K files per 4 hours which I need to be significantly faster then that and I am seeing performance degrade over time
I have a text file in c: as abc.txt which displays empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000 Now, we need to have a method which wil take empid as parameter and will find the line with the empid and create a text file with that line
e.g if we pass e001 to the method it will write empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000
to a new file with the name e001 So all these files created will be stored in a folder c:epository
I am trying to extract text from a .pptx file. I am able to extract from all other shapes except a shape that is identified as a msoPicture to right click on this shape in powerpoint and ungroup it, but when I try to do this from code it tell me that the ungroup method only applied to group shapes.I did some research and found out that the msopicture shape comes from a .emf file but I don't have the least idea how to ungroup this shape or get the text from it through code.NB: When I right click on the shape in powerpoint and select ungroup a message box pops up saying "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?". But I cannot seem to find a way in code to convert this shape to Ms Office drawing object.
This is the code i wrote in order to First open a csv file as excel, then find the required three columns, n then read data from them n save the data into another variables showing them in textbox. As about the csv file, it contains many columns out of which my focus is on only 3 columns under title ID, L, Lg.Problem is Excel doesnt actually open but Excel.exe process runs in task manager. But by this point its not the compile error; Compile error comes at 'Next' Statement. It says Compile Error: Next without For!!
Private Sub cmdFind_Click() Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.
I've found all sorts of threads about extracting file icons, and I'm able to do that no problem, but I would like to also extract some other information from a file (like you can find in the properties window), such as the file description. Are there any commands that are geared specifically toward getting this information?
I have been looking everywhere to find a way to extract the main icon from for example c:/test/file.exe and put the icon in for example c:/test/fileicon.ico i did find something but the icon looked dreadful, it must of been like 16 colours.
anyway if someone has managed to do this or knows how to do it please help before i go insane.
also i will settle for knowing how to do it with reshacker.exe instead which i also cant get to work.
I have a csv file with 48 columns of data. I need to open this file, place it into a data structure and then search that data and present it in a DataRepeater. So far I have successfully used CSVReader to extract the data and bind it to myDataRepeater. However I am now struggling to place the data in a table so that I can filter the results. I do not want to use SQL or any other database.
So far, this is working in returning all records: Private Sub BindCsv() ' open the file "data.csv" which is a CSV file with headers" Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/ftp/")) Dim fileLocation As String = dirInfo.ToString & "data.txt" Using csv As New CsvReader(New StreamReader(fileLocation), True) [Code] .....
