Getting An Other File Extension As Default Instead Of All Files As Default Extension?
Jun 25, 2009
I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?

I have a custom tool "NafestisGenerator" of which I need to apply to every ".ntf" file. The question is, how do I tell visual studio (using the Custom tool Generator sample from Microsoft) to use the "NafestisGenerator" custom tool on every ".ntf" file?

i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.

Why would I use an extension method instead of just creating non-extension sub or function?
For ex, I could have an extension function called IsNullOrEmptyOrAllSpaces on String, which does a check as its name implies. Or I can write a stand alone function that does the same thing. Other than having the extension show up in Intellisense, is there any advantage? Is a call to the extension quicker/more efficient than a call to a regular function?

I saw this post and I want to know if this is possible in VB. So like extension method, do extension properties exists in VB.Net? Here I've read they do, but cannot find any examples.

If i have an extension ... say...
vb
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Sub Invert(ByVal b As Bitmap)
is there any way of hiding this from inteli-sense if it is not used as an extension?so that pressing ctl+space only triggers it if you go "bitmap.Inve.." rather than prompting on "Inve..."?

I'm at present looking at various ways on how to convert files without any extension and making them with a .txt extension. At present, I'm using the RENAME feature within windows to do this, but i takes time when there are a lot of files to rename. Can anybody give me a few pointers on how this can be done using Visual Basic?

I have a program that processes files in a special subdirectory and the program processes the files based upon the "Type", i.e., "Text Document". If an application, such as a text editor, installed onto the system, the "Type" may change to suit that application. For example, I recently had one change the type from "TXT File" to "UltraEdit Document (.txt}". Yes, the squirrely brace was on the end, don't know why. Well, after this app was installed, my program found no files of "TXT File" type to process even though the subdirectory was full of filename.txt files.
So, how can I get the code to look at the file extension, not the Type? A few lines of the code are shown:
Private fsFile As Scripting.File

I have to read SGI Files (I belive it's Suns Raster Image files, they have .rgb extension,but contains no header information), scale it, rotate it and maybe apply anti-aliasing filter to resampled image.I am just trying to read the image file. I read the file in byte array using FileStream and trying to display it in a image box, but it is throwing error while creating Bitmap class from the byte array. My code looks like this:
csharp
string imgpath = "Images\sample1_400x400.rgb";
System.IO.FileStream fs = System.IO.File.OpenRead(imgpath);

I have a combobox which contains a sample of names selected from a table.Currently the default name displayed in the box is the 1st name found in the table. What I would like to do is display the name of the person who is doing the selection as the default. The name is stored in a public variable 'PubName' and I do not want the user to be able to type into the combobox themselves.Is this possible?

I'm trying to save this picture from a website automatically, but the problem is there is no file extension. I tried the following code, but it always gives me an error:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/2/PNG/", "C:PNG.bmp")
End Sub
Error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.
P.S - I believe the reason it doesn't have an extension is because the picture changes each time the url is loaded (probably through a php code). I'm not too sure on the specifics, but the lack of an extension is what I am having problems with.
