I am trying to build a string to copy some files from a flash drive to a computer, of course no computers drive letters are the same. How do I find out what the current drive letter of where the software is executing from?
here is my current code that will work when executing from the exe. When I am debugging it is looking the the directory where the sln file is located.

I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.
In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.
A customer installed my app (VB 2003) on his server. BUT when he tried to run it, it bombed because the data bases couldn't be found. I hard coded the drive in my app to "C:" and his server is lettered "E". ALSo when it comes time for his client PC's to mapped to his server to run the app, they too will bomb because they see his server as "P:"
View 11 RepliesHow can I get VB.NET to find the folder that begins with "17014 -"? The actual Folder is called "17014 - Mr John Smith", but I want it to search only upto the "-" (hyphen) point.
I will then use this to check if the folder exists or not.
I am doing a little project to get better at my Vb while I am outside of class and I am making a launcher that lanuches my games from my external harddrive. Now I want it to auto find what the Harddrive is mounted to Like in my Code below this is what I have so far:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Generals\generals.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Counter-Strike Source\Launcher.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked = True Then
[Code] .....
But Instead of having to go into ym actual Code and Changing it from U: to what ever my drive has mounted to on another computer and have it automaticly find what its mounted to and update my code accordingly.
Is there a better (and faster) way to find out the last modified date/time for an entire drive (or folder) without scanning each file and folder individually to find the latest modified date?

We have a DataGridView with 3 columns: InvoicedOn, PaidOn and Amount
On the MouseDown event is this line of code which needs to be fixed:
MsgBox(DataGridViewPayments.Item("Amount", DataGridViewPayments.CurrentRow.Index), "")
We are trying to find out what the value in the Amount column of the curent row.
We also get this error message:
Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid.
how to fix the MsgBox so it will show the value?

I'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code:
ComputerName = "."
Set wmiServices = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName)
Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _

I want to make a tool that will assign a USB pen drive a drive letter, I am using WMI to acknowledge the device being plugged in, I can pull the deviceID, name, etc now I just need to work out how to assign the device to a drive and I just cant figure it out
View 4 RepliesThe drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.

View 14 RepliesI have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.
The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.
My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.
First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.

Is it possible to check if a Logical device gathered through a WMI search request is a CD/DVD Drive? Right now, I can get the path of every Win32_LogicalDisk through WMI, but E: (for me) is my DVD drive and unless there is a disc, my program fails because it tries to count the number of folders/files on the disc.
Ultimately, I'd like to be able to tell if it is a CD/DVD drive then check to see if there is a disc there before I do anything else to it. Can it be done using WMI?
I have a function that copies files from a CD to my HDD:CopyFiles(CD_Drive, FullPath & "")
The problem is that the Drive letter "I:" is not consistent. Sometimes when I connect and disconnect external devices, the CD Drive letter changes and then my code doesn't work unless I open the project, change the letter "I" and recompile.What code can I use that will ALWAYS detect my CD Drive, regardless of the drive letter? (Like for instance, NERO will detect and burn CDs regardless of the drive letter)

View 12 Replieshow to open an .exe file from a that is in a certain file, what i am trying to do is create a program that will be portable-via jump drive or cd drive, the reason i feel stupid is that I did not realize that visual basic and vb.net are two different animals- I was trying to use app.path for days- then came across a post that set me straight that I can not use it.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have created a form that I would like to run from a jump drive, or cd drive, were the drive letter will never be the same-
Application.StartupPath is the answer I have come up with- Implementing it is difficult for me- all the examples I have seen retrieves the path and imports it to a textbox. What I got is a form will start a .exe of a portable program- ( that will be located on the jump drive, or cd)
I have created a form that will -when a button is pressed- execute an .exe to a program that will also be on the jump drive. how to do this from start to finish on how to run an .exe from a file that will not ever be located on the same drive-
