produce VB script which looks at a particular folder and gets the name of the latest file. I have a folder which holds database backups and I need a script that gives me the full name of the most recent backup (file name consists of a date and time stamp). This file name will then need to be used in a variable within SSIS.

I am new to development and I'm using VB.NET to build an application for my kids. I want to teach them how to manage their money so I've decided to build them an application. I have a database table which stores all transactions aswell as the userid (users have to login). When one of my kids opens his bank account, I have got it so that it only shows his transactions with date and bank account balance and no-one elses. My question is, how can I retrieve the latest balance and display it in a label at the top of the form?

We have one program that acts as a "server" (so to speak) and many programs that reference it. every time we update the server, we are forced to update all the dependent programs to reference the new version number. Our IPC communication protocol is pretty stable and doesn't change, so we aren't worried about upgrade incompatibilities. I would like to know how to automatically reference the "latest" version of an assembly. What I mean is, if I choose Project->properties->references, I always get a specific version. Is there a way to reference whatever the latest version is? This way, we wouldn't have to update every program that is dependent on our server every single time there is an update.
View 1 RepliesI have a VS2010 solution (upgraded) that has two projects, an EXE and a DLL. In both the Target framework versions are 4.0. When one look at the references of the EXE project, one can see that the System.dll (and System.Core.dll and so for) references to the v4 version (the latest); however, in the DLL project the references points to the .Net Framework v2 version. Why is this happening? How can I make all my projects to point to the v4 libraries?
View 3 RepliesI have a ListBox that is only about 4 lines high. After I add more than 4 Items, it attaches them to the bottom of the list outside of the viewable area with out scrolling. Is there any way to either add items to the top of the list or make the latest item visible? I want to keep all the items in the list in the order they were added whether it is oldest to newest or newest to oldest.
View 8 RepliesI have this situation where LoadWithPartialName appears to be the only good alternative, although it is marked as Obsolete. I work in a very tight dev environment with versioning and deployment policies that cannot be easily changed or bypassed. Let's say there's a .NET executable that I have no control on (from another division). Let's call this the client AppA application. AppA's version is 10.11.12.x. Application AppA has a direct reference to one of our class library that provides some service to the caller (returns some information).
Let's call it SvcB and the version is also 10.11.12.x. Now, AppA's division does not need to update their system as often as we do, so AppA's version will stay 10.11.12.x for some time, probably until we decide to change the format of the class that is exchanged between us. Our division needs to change the logic behind the service SvcB more often and the version must change with every major deployement.
So let's say we change the logic and we deploy a new version of SvcB, 11.02.11.x. AppA will still reference the old version, so the logic being used is now incorrect. We are thinking of creating a new "facade" to our service. Let's call it SvcFrontB. SvcFrontB's version will stay the same, in sync with the AppA's own version. Now I need SvcFrontB to load the most recent version of SvcB through reflection. This way, I am sure the latest logic is always used. How do I achieve that without using LoadWithPartialName ?
i'm building my own monitoring system. I have allot but i'm stuck at 1 point: I wanna have a list of events out of the event viewer, it polls every 30 min.i have this:
Dim eventLogApp As New System.Diagnostics.EventLog("Application")
Dim eventLogEntry As System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntry
Dim eventCntr As Integer = 1[code]....
but this is way to heavy for a poll of every 30 min. Because is checks the WHOLE event viewer.What i want.. just the latest 5 or 10 events from the event viewer to reduce the load..
I was recently working on a project that involving connection to a POP3 Server. I was using this piece of C# from CodeProject[URL] had complied it into a DLL and was using it in VB.NET.I'd connected to my Hotmail Account (not many mails) and it seems to work just fine. After that, I connected to my GMail account... I stared seeing errors!POP3 is meant to fetch emails only from the Inbox. Even when I made my own program to cross-check the problem, I saw that when I requested for the number of messages, the GMail POP3 Server returned a value which is about 5 times less than the actual inbox size.
255 Emails in my Inbox?? Online it shows me 2,414 emails in my Inbox.And secondly, my MAIN QUESTION is that how does one fetch the LATEST email from the POP3 Mailbox. What I've fetched here was an e-mail with ID 1! I want to fetch the top 20 emails (that were most recently delivered to the account)...Is there any work around for how to fetch the LATEST email from the POP3 Server rather than the oldest emails? I've also tried to connect to the Hotmail POP3 Mail Server. Again a "RETR 1" command fetches me the oldest email and not the latest one!

View 1 RepliesI'm using interop.msxml2.dll to open XML and txt files off an Internet server. The response that is received from the server is stored in my application's variables. I've recently noticed that the application doesn't always update the information when it goes to download a file that it has already downloaded in the past. For example, if it downloaded a file off the server when it started up, then when it attempted to download the new, changed file 5 minutes later, it would still return the same value as the first one. Even after closing the application, it would still return the incorrect, older value. How to stop this "caching" of data, and only allow the program to download the latest file off the server.

View 2 RepliesI am working with an ArrayList of ArrayLists. Every time I add a new ArrayList to the main AL, it replaces all previously added ALs with the new one.Here's an example
Dim al As New ArrayList
Dim al2 As New ArrayList
Dim list() As String = {"one", "two", "three"}

I would expect the Final line should be "Final: one, two, three" but that is not the case. And if I pause and check my ArrayList (al), it shows 3 items, that all have "three" in every spot which is what the last AL I added looked like.
