I'm writing an application in which the user can select files from a directory structure. My problem is that I only have the C: drive and a D: drive. I also need to be able to provide access to the "Desktop" directory structure. How can I add the Desktop directory structure to a "Directory" control? I basically need something like Windows Explorer.
View 9 RepliesI have written a data analysis program and I want to keep a list of recently accessed data files. I have kept this list in a text file in the same directory as my .ese file which is installed in a subfolder in my programs folder. But in Windows 7, it is not possible to write to files in the programs folder without assigning privileges to that folder which I found confusing to do. I would rather not subject clients to this process. It seems like a good place might be in one of the user folders. But I have no idea of how to go about establishing a path to such a folder in code. I thought it might be possible to identify an environment path such as %userapps% or some such thing that would work in both Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I would also like to generate a .log file in the same directory to aid in debugging.

View 2 RepliesBasically what I need to do is change a textbox on Form1 (AKA mainwin) from Form2 (AKA loginwin) using data that is inputted into Form2. I've done this before with applications by declaring Form1 in Form2, but this time I just get a NullReferenceException error. Here's the code I'm currently using for Form2. Maybe someone here can tell me why it's not working. [Code] I can't figure out why it's not working. I've used this same method before and it always worked.
View 1 Repliesi have an application for which i have created help files which are html files. my pplication resides in a directory for which the system path comes out as c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmsindebugcrms.exeI have the help files put under the crms directory which has the bin as its sub directory.i.e. c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmshelpmain.htmlIn my application i would like to access this file and launch it in Internet Explorer. I dont want to hard code it as this will be deployed on a terminal server and therefore i would like to use a relative path. I searched on the net and could only find solutions that used Application.StartupPath or few others which point to the exe file.
I tried extracting the path before that and managed to get a substring which held contained c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmsTo this appended the helpmain.html, i tried launching the file as followsSystem.Diagnostics.Process.start("iexplore",s);where s, stores the appended string. This is the error i get, cannot open file at location:Document%and%settingsvisual%studio%2005crmsc rmshelpmain.htmlIts not liking the space in the path, is there anyway to resolve this.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to access MS/Word document properties without opening the file in Word. Right now I have an app that reads the document properties but it has to open the document in word. This makes it run very slowly and also makes it susceptible to crashing if the document is corrupted. In Windows Explorer, you can right-click on a word document file and select properties. The ensuing dialog box contains, in addition to the usual information, two additional tabs labelled "Summary" and "Custom" that correspond to the same tabs in the dialog box you can open from File/Properties menu in Word. I know windows explorer is not opening the document in word because there is no instance of word.exe in task manager and because it has no difficulty in obtaining this information from the file even when it cannot be opened in Word because the document has become corrupted.If anyone could help me figure out how to read custom and built-in document fields (properties) from the file without opening it in Word,
View 1 RepliesI don't know the best way to use multiple forms in VB, but I have created a problem and I'm not sure where it came from or how to fix it.
Background: I start the program at Sub Main. This is the main function:

Dim frmD As frmDAQ
Dim frmT As frmTrendView

it works, but I don't want to have to change the entire project.
I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.
I have to make some automatization on a web server, I use Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic Windows Console Application. I want to make a load/performance test of the web server, so I open several Internet Explorer instances, and I login the application, that is not a problem. But after that I have a mess on the page and I cannot make any more automatization...The composition of the page after the login is like this: I have the default form, another form and a multiple data window(mdw) controller, which dinamically can switches the forms on this part.
The problem is that I don't know how to access the controls of this mdw forms. I couldn't find much about this mdw controller and I am not an expert.
My code is here:
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Web.Ui.Webcontrols

View 3 RepliesI hava a form app, that runs hidden, with just a notify icon, the goal is control worker schedule and alert them for some things they have to do.My problem is,when i open a form (with TopMost = True), it works if the user is admin of the machine or domain admin, if the user is "regular" user, the form just don't open or shown to the screen.I believe that it has got something to do with write permissions in the app folder. I have a contextmenu that works great, even restoring the hidden main form, it just doesn't show/open the other form, without any error.Shouldn't .net use the user $temp folder to write something? If not what's the best way for the app use the EnvironmentVariable("temp")?

I'm guessing there is a really simple answer to this but i've spent the best part of 2 days trying to get it to work and cannot figure it out.Basically, I want is the webbrowser to point to a local folder on a machine. A different one depending on who is logged on. The code I have so far is as follows.
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmFav
Private Sub frmFav_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim username As String

I cannot get the URL value of the webbrowser (FavProgs) to take the value of directoryname. If I set the URL value in the properties for FavProgs it does what I want it to do perfectly.
