File Paths On A Sever / DB Connections Strings?
Jun 1, 2008
I am coding this app on my home pc, but when complete it will be run on individual pc(s) (each pc has it oun HD) on a local network. I have a world of questions but right now how do I set the path to my database? is there a way to set a default if its not found.Database(s) that the app use's are stored in a folder on the server. i.e.: P:MyServerNameDeptFolderData for example.OLEDB or TableAdapters which would be the better choice.I understand that MS Access DB is rather resticting.

I am trying to iterate through all the connection strings in App.Config using VB.net.
I would like to:
1. Get a count of all the connection strings
2. Put them all into a listbox.
I have tried using System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings but am unsure exactly how to get the collection/listof connection strings.
The application is a WinForms VB.net .net 4.0 app.

we are using the Enterprise Library data access application block in our data layer for an application. We must be doing something wrong though because we cannot seem to get encryption and the ability to reconfigure connection strings working well. For example, when the application starts, it checks if the connection strings are "Protected", and if they are not, we encrypt them using the following function:
[Code]...
Then comes another issue. If a user installs an update for the application, the first time it runs, nothing can connect if the config file was previously encrypted. A restart of the application (second time running) will fix the issue. with all of the battles we are fighting here, I wanted to ask if we are doing this right? How should we be encrypting and allowing updates. If you need to see the exceptions thrown, I can provide those upon request (will need to change some code to get them again, but it is doable).

The end result I am looking for is I want to add File Paths to a CheckedListBox. I only want certain file extensions and if a file by the same name but a specific extension exsists allready then I do not want to add those files to the CheckedListBox.
Example: I am only wanting these filetypes in my CheckedListBox (.gif, .tif, .bmp, and .jpg).However if the filetype (.PNG) allready exsists with the same filename (i.e. image. png and image.jpg) I then do NOT want to add that JPG. Only files that do not allready have a PNG with the same name. (I hope I was able to make this clear)
My current code will add the filetypes (.gif, .tif, .bmp and .jpg) to the CheckedListBox. However I do not know how to have the code only add the files that don't have the PNG.Here is my current code:[code].....

I'm trying to write a program that allows you to; 1) open a mp3 or wav file via the user finding the file and copying the file path and pasting it into a text box and, 2) by pressing a button it will play the desired file, and then 3) by pressing another button it will stop playing the file. I've already have this under pat,
Private Sub cmdOne_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOne.Click
My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.buzzer, AudioPlayMode.Background)
End Sub

I am working on a project and transferring the whole project back and forth. The thing is I am using a full file path in all my code ("c:/Users/..."), so when I transfer to the other computer the file paths break. Everything I am linking to is in the "bin" folder in my project's folder. How do I have file paths relative to the project folder?

I've started a reader for map files for a small turn based game.However, when it attempts to create a tiles string array, but tiles(0,1) through to tiles(0,9) all precede the filename (3.jpg) with a space.
Normal path: C:\path\tiles\3.jpg
Path with rogue spaces (that I can't figure out how to remove): C:\path\tiles\ 3.jpg
Code to read from the file

I am working on a project that consists of manipulating several reports (word and excel). At the beginning of my project I set all paths to a hard string (C:users...................) using the my.settings. Worked great during developement but now its time to test on other machines. I have been toying with using Application.StartupPath but cannot figure out how to modify the app.config so I do not have to recode my forms (given it would not take long), not to sound lazy but I know there has to be a way to achieve a computer specific path to find the reports in the application directory.

I am trying to write a simple standalone windows forms project that basically contains various buttons which run external application setup files. The problem is I want to be able to run it from a USB stick. I have created a folder inside the project with all the files I need to call in it. I am using Process.start but the paths are obviously going to be wrong when the project is running from the stick as the drive letter may be different each time. How do I over come this.

First of all, using VB 2008.I'm writing my first VB program that will actually do anything, so I am about as noob as noob can get. I'll try to keep my question as simple as possible.
My program will have a password protected screen, but rather than "hard-coding" a password into the program, I'd like to give the user the option of changing the password to whatever he'd like. Obviously, without hardcoding the password into the program, this value would need to be stored somewhere outside the program in order for it to be available the next time the program is executed.
I know that the Windows registry is a place to save data like that, but are there other places (certain types of files, etc.) where this data is typically stored? I'm writing this program for work, and I'm not sure that my IT department will look favorably upon me messing around with the registry.

My program has to store files externally to work with. Before now the path was fixed at C:/DSGameMaker, I did the following:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("C:/DSGameMaker/data.dat")
However I want to let users install the program wherever they want, so I changed that line and others to:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
Which works great, until you do this:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("D:/X/Y.Z")
As soon as I put a fixed path into the ReadAllText function it changes the relative path to D:/X. Which means the following function looks inside D:/X instead of the apps directory:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
And complains that "D:/X/data.dat" is not found.
How can I use relative paths but also read from full file names, for example from an OpenFileDialog, without VB changing my relative path, and breaking it all from then onwards?

I am on a general scenario of deploying my vb.net database application on my client's computer.
Thinking of future problem of changing the database connection setting, i am planning to store it in a normal xml file in the app directory so that where ever it is installed, in order to make database configuration i only need to make change to that file and my program runs smoothly.
So is this idea of storing database connection setting to xml config file in app directory or is there any other better idea?
I am planning it for vb.net winforms applications
