In vb.net, when writting an application, I want to access a batch file that has been added to the project. My question is how to I find the relative path of this file to access it? I have used relative path on the ASP.NET side, but not on the application side. The properties that I am finding regarding the current directory and running directory and the likes are all for the bin directory its in. While I can use the CurrentDirectory() property and go up two parents (....) in the development environment, when I install the application, the structure is not the same. As in the output is in a single folder, not tiered.
Example. c:projectsMyAppindebugMyApp.exe is the running directory
My file I want to access is at c:projectsMyAppvalidate.bat
so "c:projectsMyApp" is what I am trying to capture.
This is troubling me as the FileExists command needs a full path.

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]

I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.
I have an Access database ubicated in the path: C:Documents and Settings obertoMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsDictionaryDictionaryDictionary.mdb But when I execute the instrucction: stringConnection=System.IO.Path.Combine Application.StartupPath, "Dictionary.mdb") the path where catches the database is : C:Documents and Settings obertoMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsDictionaryDictionaryinDebugDictionary.mdb
That`s is the reason why I am astonished because the insertions and updates in the database are made in this last path. Why having the database path in other path which isnīt inDebug works with this last?
There is a field in the database whose value is the StoredProc name with full path.for example test01.test.dbo.spGetData
test01 is the server name
test is the database
spgetdata is the SP
I am storing this in a variable
Session("GetSP") = objReader(1).ToString() (test01.test.dbo.spGetData)
Dim Command As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(Session("GetSP"), conn)
Command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
I always get an error cannot find the SP and it shows like this test.dbo.spGetData It is cutting of the servername test01 always.how can i get the full path.
Im looking for a way that if the program detect that for exemple the path "C:" is "true" then it will add , for exemple , "Hard Drive" in the checkedlistbox.
View 3 RepliesI'm need of some way of finding the UNC Path of a share via a script or command line or even a custom created program. I'm trying to automate deletion of users and the setup is a bit complicated.
Home folders are set up like this:
We create a folder on a Disk on a fileserver.When this folder is created, a share is automatically created on a lower levelThen the DFS Links are set up towards the newly created share.
Now, when deleting a user, I could just delete the DFS Folder, meaning that the target folder is the one being deleted. But since it's a share, that cannot happen.

View 3 RepliesI want to make a program which first of all check whether a serie of programs is installed, if a program is installed I would like to find the installation path, so I will be able to work with it further..My first though was to check in the registry, there is theinstallation path also mentioned right?Another possible way was to search all the harddrives for a specific .exe fil. If then the file is found, the program is installed, and you should be able to find the path to the found .exe file. This is more "secure", right? - Because not all program is registred in the registry right? (E.g. if you move it from another location, and doesn't install it).
