I need a method to know iis current wwwroot in VB.Net.
I need to get this information outside a web project (otherwise the problem would have a simple solution). I think I need to read this information from the registry, but I have no idea where to start looking.
I have a directory listbox, I try to set the path to a directory inside the project. how do I do that?
View 7 RepliesI have a directory named reports inside my winform project in .net. My project name is AccountingReports and inside that Directory reports exists. So i need the way to access this path via code. In Asp.net we use Request.PhysicalApplicationPath property. So is there any method or property exists that will give me the root of my project
View 2 RepliesI am using Environment.CurrentDirectory to get the current directory, i.e. "D:ChuttuProjectsLICinDebug"
But, I want to remove "inDebug"
How can I do that? Or is there any way so that I can get the directory up to "LIC"?
Actually this is my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|LIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
But when I use this and try to insert data into the DB, the data is not inserted. When I use the connection string with a physical path it starts working:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
I am trying to get the physical path of the mdf file and use it in the connection string.
EDIT:
This piece of code works fine:
Private Sub save()
Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True")

View 1 RepliesI've been testing the code below (vb 2010) and everything works except for the fact that I cannot get the statement "Dim dirName As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)" to work.

I would like to log events to a .txt file. I think I have this covered for the most part. If I run my application in let's say /Program Files/App/ it will log events to log.txt within the /App directory. However, if I made a desktop shortcut of my app, it writes log.txt to the desktop. How do I set it so my path for my log.txt will always be within the same folder as the .exe and not where the application is run from (like with shortcuts)? how to I get the .exe directory to add it to the path of log.txt?

adapted from Major treeview/list view head ache I managed to make the treeview display the folder and the sub folders... but it isn't very hierarchial. Check attached pictures. Image1 shows how it is and image2 shows how I want it to be. Can anyone tell me how to get it to look like image 2?...Image2 was made in Windows Explorer. Image1 is a screenshot of the runing program that I am trying to make. I have been googling around but no luck so far. Practically I think what I shoul be asking is how to create child nodes of subfolders. The program is going to copy whatever the user checks in the treeview into another folder chosen by the user. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express.
I have a VB 6.0 code that creates file/directory on given path. If the path is local or a mapped drive then it's working fine but if I am having a network path like \netpathputfileshere" then it is not working. If I mapped "\netpathputfileshere" to some x: drive on local then it will work fine BUT I need not mapped this path. So is there any way to do this directly on network path. I get error for ChDrive "\netpathpullfileshere"
View 2 RepliesI have a dynamic path and every time I want to check it and if it is the root of drive warn user, so I am doing this:
Code:
If MyPath = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(MyPath) Then

MyPath is returned from a control like FolderBrowseDialog so I'm sure it cannot be an invalid path...

View 4 RepliesI'm building an application which require to use Directory.Exists on a network share UNC path. I know how to use that function, and how to implement it in my code, it's working perfecty locally.
Here my setup:
- VS2003
- .NET 1.1
- It's an Outlook Add-In
Here the code :
Dim realpath as string = "\myserverfolder$subfolder"
Impersonation.ImpersonateUser("admin", "DOMAIN", "adminpass")
Dim isDirExist As Boolean = Directory.Exists(realpath)
If isDirExist = False Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(realpath)
End If
Impersonation.undoImpersonation()
If I build this code, and register it in Outlook with my personnal account (admin), it's working fine, I receive true. If I build this same code, an register it in the Outlook of a normal employee (user only), it's always returning FALSE, no matter if the directory exist or not. The share is set to everyone allow, and I tried giving everyone access to the ACL, and it's the same result.

This is the code I have set up to scan a directory of files:
Dim fileArray() As String
fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "help")
And it successfully gets all files in the directory, but it gets their absolute paths as well. For example, one of the entries in fileArray() is:
F:ProjectProjectinx86Debughelpook_troubleshoot.html
And I want it to just be:
book_troubleshoot.html
Is there a way to do this without parsing through all the array entries to trim off the path?
