I am having a problem with Windows 7, where I delete an xml-file in the programData folder using Windows Explorer(C: ProgramData Documentsdata. xml).The file is removed in windows explorer, but when running my program, the file is still found, and read.I tried to restart the pc, but the file is still found by my program.I recently moved to Windows 7 from Vista, and everything worked fine on Vista.[code]
View 8 RepliesI want to create an application that will save the files being deleted from a flash drive into a part of the flash drive that acts as recycle bin. I want to capture the deletion event of windows so that I can copy the files marked as deleted. Is there a library that would notify my application if the delete event is being executed? If using FileSystemWatcher component, I cannot get the files being deleted because it will only notify after the file is deleted.

View 5 RepliesI had to reinstall visual basic express edition 2008 on my pc.I deleted the old files from c dirve.I tried to install it from the ISO downloaded from the microsofts website but after i specify the drive (drive F) to install it on after about 2-3 minutes it says it failed to install it. [code] Does it have to be installed to drive c or something or is maybe the iso damaged? I just transferred it onto this pc and mounted the iso image using a program MagicIso which i used last time to install it.
View 11 RepliesI have an app where a user enters information on a ticket and that ticket is saved off to a file on a share.Later on, when the ticket is closed or resolved, the file is deleted.Pretty straightforward.The below code is used to achieve this but, and this is the odd part, I'm finding that sometimes the app does not write the file and other times it will not delete it.I've confirmed that the user is running the latest version, that the tool isn't in off line mode, that all the appropriate criteria are set to true before entering the routines. It works 99% of the time but every so often it doesn't create/delete the file and there are no errors thrown or anything.Going into this section of code, chkOffline is not checked, "GoNoGo" is set to "Go", "Type" is set to "Live" and all fields have been filled out on the form(and vetted).What's more, there are other actions earlier in the app/sub that rely on these same conditions and those actions are getting carried out.[code]

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make a small app that reads MFT from a NTFS drive and lists deleted files and their names. The code is not ordered since its not finished yet. I made it basing on information a read at ntfs.com and some other examples found on the net. But the problem itself is the following. I have hard disk with to NTFS partitions, the main one having 250 GB and the second one having 1,5 GB. If I execute my code on the smaller drive, (using D as parameter for readfile api), I get the list of all deleted files exactly (I checked it with a recovery file app).
The problem is when I execute it on the other drive (C where Windows is installed, 7 if it matters), the problem is that I cant find any deleted file!!. The code gets all the files from MFT and then saves in a string variable only the deleted ones, I found that after deleting one file, it also disappears from the MFT (at least using my code). So, there may be some other way in which NTFS marks deleted files? As you see in my code, I iterate through the MFT entries and, from those that start with FILE, I take bytes 22 and 23 (0 base) and evaluate, if its value is 0 then its deleted, otherwise, it isn't (its a file or directory I think).

how can I prevent the Class Library's files from being opened during my Main Project's debug mode?

I wrote windows app to upload files to different FTP sites by picking the files from different folders.A log is displayed by appending text to the textbox at every step.Textbox is ReadOnly.
Issue:When app is loading a bf file to FTP and if user tries to scroll the textbox,the form is hanging and going to Not Responding.?
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

We have to learn VB.NET for the semester, my experience lies mainly with C# - not that this should make a difference to this particular problem.

Here is the code I am using to save a text file.

View 1 RepliesI am building a small Windows Forms application. I need to 'read in' CSv files into the application.
I am using StreamReader to read the CSV files into the application. That is no problem. On my Form I have a text box, 3 Buttons and 2 data grids. With the first 'browse' Button I am using OpenFileDialog to select which CSV file I want to display in the first grid.
Then I want to use a 'convert' button to display the information from the CSV file in a much more 'user-friendly' manner in the second grid. Lastly I want to use my 'export' button to export the converted file to excel.
get a list of selected files (any kind) from the windows explorer in clip board or any possible source on click of a short key. I need this collection of selected files with full path to be used in an application that will need to process these files for specific purpose?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to copy files where it gives you the option to overwrite all and show graphically the files being copied, in much the same way when copying files within windows.What I have at the moment is this:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(DataDirectory.DataSource, BackupPath & "Restel.bak", True)
For Each FileFound As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(SystemDataPath & "", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.rtf")
FileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName(FileFound)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(FileFound, BackupPath & "" & FileName, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, FileIO.UICancelOption.ThrowException)
Next
which overwrites automatically or shows it graphically prompting each time if the file already exists.
i want that multiple users of my application will be able to change a database of my application.
I do now write the application files to a c:ProgramData subfolder.
The problem is that i cannot write to this folder.
I tried to set its permissions automatically but this did not work either.
In which folder should the database of my application be placed so that even non administrators can change it ?
I have written a service to run an exe.What I have also tried to do is check if the file is present on the local computer, and if not copy it from a networked drive to the local computer.
If File.Exists("\\static1\software\testapp.exe") = True Then
File.Copy("\\static1\software\testapp.exe", "C:\Program Files\Testing\testapp.exe")
End If
I have previously ensured that the directory exists.When I run this as a service, it doesn't work. No errors are thrown up, but the file is not copied.When I put this into a windows forms application it works fine.
I have used:
Imports System.IO
In the header. why this won't work?
I have also tried:
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("\\static1\software\testapp.exe", "C:\Program Files\Testing\testapp.exe")
And that also does not work.I am trying to run this on Windows XP Professional.
I am using a DataGridView, which is bound to a dataset. There is a bindingNavigator as well.
when a user deletes a row by clicking "bindingNavigatorDeleteItem" button, I am trying to get the row being deleted.
private void bindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int crow = gridEventType.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
but it returns the newly selected row AFTER deletion of a selected row.
so, If I have two rows
0
1
2
and I delete 2
crow is 1, not 2.
Am I missing something here?
2. How do I know whether certain rows are modified in datagridview?
