I am having a problem renaming a file. The File is am image, it represented by a custom thumbnail control.The thumbnail control of course has the image as ......it's image. This is done by adding the image to a new bitmap and placing it as the background image on a picturebox....in the thumbnailThis is where I think I am having the problem.....I am using the image properties such as dimensions and file size(length) to add data to a status bar....not part of the thumbnail but the main app.Before I did this I did not have any problems, but now I get the good 'ole "cannot rename file because it is being used by another process" I have tried to dispose() of the image on the control....didn't work, I have looked all over google.Here is how I am trying to rename the file that the control represents
If File.Exists(strNewPath) Then
Do
strNewFName = strNewName + " (" + intN.ToString + ")" + strExt
I have a text file coming out of access that I want to ftp to a server but before it gets ftp'd I want to automatically rename the file based on the characters at position 115-119, ie the file will be renamed from 'output.txt' to 'FP002'.
I am using Process.Start to run a command line application. The log for the app is automatically saved in a predefined location that I can not change. Also, I can not specify the name of the log.I need the log to go to a specific directory and the be renamed. I thought I could do it this way:[code]When I run the code, it tells me that it can't fin the file "Test2.txt". When I isolate the code and only run the first part, it moves the file to the second directory just fine. It only errors on the RenameFile line.
I have built this utility to upload/download files to an FTP server with a few options which will be taken from a command line. One of the options is going to be rename file. But this would be done on the remote side.
Basically, only tmp files will not be caught has hazardous on this FTP site during upload. So the file gets uploaded as tmp and will need to be renamed to .zip and vise-versa.
I know how to do this locally as it is not hard to use the moveto function, but how would I do this assuming, the ftp stream is already opened and read/write access is properly granted?
I am working on a media player, and I would like to setup a local playlist feature. I am using a single ListBox and its "Display-" and "Value-Member" properties. The display is the song's Artist and Name, and the value is the song's file path (i.e 'C:UsersUSERMusicetc.').To write the file path to the .txt file, I believe I can use the following code:[code]
I develop a web browser. It has a settings feature where you can change the homepage and some other options and it has bookmarks. Well, if you rename the file, then all of these settings are erased and reset to the defaults. How can I make this where all these settings are included no matter if moving, renaming, etc.?
I have been struggling a bit trying to get this to work. I am trying to rename the file but can't seem to get it to work. The file creates but just doesn't seem to rename with the text in the text box. Below is the code.
Code to generate File
Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click If File.Exists("c:Sample.txt") Then
I am making a program, obviously, and I require some assistance. I found an explanation on how to read information from a Text file and have modified it for my needs. Here is my (modded) version:
Public Function GetInfo(ByVal playlistname As String) As String On Error Resume Next Dim PlaylistInfo As String
I am once more stuck:There are 2 PictureBoxes on my Form. They get the image from the Application's StartUpPath, "1.jpg" for PictureBox1 and "2.jpg" for PictureBox2. All the dragging and dropping works fine. What I still need is a bit of code change that will allow me to rename the original files:
Does anyone have a simple code for Moving and Renaming a Image File?
Here is an example of exactly what I need to do.
Ok let's presume the end user is Editing a Record named Mick's Milktart, the DataBase Table Field named ID (Primary Key) has a value of 237.The user clicks a button to add an Image to that Record.
An OpenFileDialog opened and an Image File named "NewImage.png" is selected by the user from "MyPictures".[code]...
I'm using the SaveFileDialog to save listbox info into a text file. The files save fine, but when you go to save the file, if you hit the cancel button, it will overwrite the previous file you saved, because it's name was the same and it seems to save the previous file as the new name for your next file. Is there any way to catch if the user clicks cancel, and then exiting the sub if they did?
i am very new to VB. I am working on file operation such as show files, copy file, delete file, show current directory, rename folder, make folder. My problem right now is with delete and copy file. I have a method of delete and copy but i dont know how to pass this method on a button.
How do I Edit and Save Image EXIF / Metadata / FileInfo without using an external DLL?
Project:I'm building an app for personal use to rename, retag, and organize the apocalyptic quantity of images I host on my personal website. As I have been collecting funny pictures and such for several years, there is no real rhyme or reason to the file naming conventions. Ergo, Image0001.jpg needs to be renamed to a descriptive filename, and the Metadata fields need to be filled in.
The desired process will take an existing jpg, gif, png, tiff or bmp and do the following:
load image into memory convert bmp files to jpgs if needed (for a smaller file size, mostly) load image tags into ImageData Structure (see below)

[4] ImageData.Name, .Keywords, .Title, .Subject, and .Comments changed to "lolcat ceiling cat sends son".
[5] Save file with new filename and save all new tag fields.
(Later, I will also be using SQL to build a referential database with links to the online copies of these files to allow for searching by keywords, subject, filename, etc, but that's another layer that's much easier than this one. At least to me.)
Problem:So far, several days of research have yielded almost no measurable progress. Information has apparently been inexplicably hidden behind a bunch of unexpected search keywords. Current Code as is:
I'm working on a personal project and so far everything is going perfect. Almost. I have a problem with getting music file info based off of its file path. I.e. "
C:UsersUSERetc." The only things I would need from y'all would be how to get the song's Artist(s) and Name (maybe there's something similar to 'AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.getitemInfo("Information")' without actually having to play the song?
After I get this information, I would like to know how to add it to a ListBox as this: "[Artist] - [Song Name]", but I can do the text part if I know the getting-the-information part and adding-the-info-to-listbox part.
I have a utility that checks various file info (size, date, location, etc) against a manifest to see that it all matches. Would anyone know if there's a way to get the last write date of a file in a svn repository, using VB.NET. The equivalent of using FileInfo.LastWriteDate.
I have looked around the forums and found a few discussions on this, but none that address my issue.
I want to rename a folder of jpgs with their datetime original from the exif meta file. The line: My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(foundImage, NewPictureName) does have the all the right info: the original file folder and name; and the new picture name - it just doesn't actually do the task.
Here's the sub:
