I am using this code below:
[Code]...
I thought the %AppData% should find the relative path. When I go 'Start|Run|%AppData% windows explorer takes me to that directory. I can not put the full path in, as the user is different on each client machine.

Im working on a Dll Injector. But that is not my problem. I am using a picturebox to display the icon of a running process.E.g. If google chrome is running. The picturebox should display the icon of google chrome.I can extract the icon to my picturebox only if I know the full path of the process. That API was easily found and works very well.But know I want my application to get the full path of a running process automatically as soon as I order it.Like in a textbox is write: chrome.exe, and press the button next to it. What do I need to write in the button to get the full path of that running process.(of course only if its running, I if its not running I dont want anything to happned)

At my workplace, we're having troubles with Windows 7. Folders that are supposed to be in the libraries (e.g. Documents Library) aren't appearing. While we sort the issue out via Group Policy, I'd like a "DIY fix" that people can run and keep working instead of flooding IT support with requests. From snooping around, I've found that the folders are stored in an XML file here:
[Code]...
I can edit it by hand or programatically, but there is a node called <serialized> which is a long string of alphanumeric characters. It's not necessary (I can manually add folders without this and it works fine) but I was thinking there must be a better way to go about this, so my question is:
Is there a VB.NET function or class that lets me add and query folders in the library without manually creating the XML and inserting it myself? I'm happy to do it myself, but if there is a better way to go about it, I'm all for it!

There is a field in the database whose value is the StoredProc name with full path.for example test01.test.dbo.spGetData
test01 is the server name
test is the database
spgetdata is the SP
I am storing this in a variable
Session("GetSP") = objReader(1).ToString() (test01.test.dbo.spGetData)
Dim Command As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(Session("GetSP"), conn)
Command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
I always get an error cannot find the SP and it shows like this test.dbo.spGetData It is cutting of the servername test01 always.how can i get the full path.

Imports System.IO

I use VS 2008 Visual Basic and I added windows forms HelpProvider to supply user with more information using F1 button when a windows form is active.No VB coding are used, just help provider and HTML docs. with css.I have created a HTML document and a picture. On both items I have set the [copy to output directory] property to Copy Always.The HTML document starts HTML page and IE is showing the text as expected , but the picture does not appear.I use click once deployment to deliver the system. The HTML documents and picture is located on the user computer after the deployment. How do I add path to a location in a win program with pictures used in a HTML document? What is the correct setting of [ build action ] parameter of these items?

I'm upgrading a VB6 project that uses the DriveListBox and DirListBox controls to select one or more folders. They're not available in VB 2008 except via the Compatibility DLL, so I'm thinking about using the Windows 7 Libraries concept instead. But I don't see support for libraries anywhere; does it exist in VB2008, or will it be in VB 2010?

How do I get the full file system path to my DLL? I have found a number of calls/properties for "Name", "FullName" etc. The closest I have come is to call Me.GetType().Module.Assembly.GetName().CodeBase. But that string has stuff appended to the front of the actual filename. Plus I don't know if a codebase is always available (say if I don't do "regasm /codebase" on my assembly.I simply want something like "c: empmyproject.dll". That is, what GetModuleFileName would return. Surely I don't have to call Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Me.GetType().Module).ToInt32()) and then directly invoke the Windows GetModuleFilename API for something so basic.ps. I always wonder why there is an "Alert me" check box at the bottom of the post page. Never been alerted although it is always checked (my profile has my e-mail address).

I have been searching for a way to retrieve the full path for Outlook.exe and have managed to do it like this: Public Function GetOutlookPath() As String
Return My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApp PathsOUTLOOK.EXE", "Path", Nothing)
End Function
On my current computer (Windows 7 64bit) it works just fine. On our Windows Server (also 64bit) it only works when it is building to "any CPU". When I change it to x86 it will return nothing
Our application needs to be run built as x86 on our 64bit computers to work correctly
Does anybody have any idea on how to solve this problem?

I have a process that I start in this manner: Process.Start("pwace", "/a C:18537-1ff.ace") The .ace loads a DBF and it is simply told where to find it like this: 18537-1.ace. When running the .ace file manually, this is fine. However, when starting the process through a VB program, the EXE (pwace.exe) acts like it doesn't know where the .ace file is located, so it can't simply append the .ace path to the .dbf to find it and the program errors out telling me to specify the .dbf with a full path.
So, I set an absolute path to the .dbf in the program, and it works fine. This leads me to believe it is an issue similar to shortcuts where if you don't set a 'Start In' path, your program has to have absolute paths defined to be able to launch external files with Process.Start(), and not simply filenames.
With that all said, is there a way I can indicate to the Process.Start() from VB where this file is located, sort of like a' Start In' path, so that my files don't have to be configured with absolute paths. And remember, it matters where the .ace file is located, not the actual .exe process that is started. The .ace file is simply a settings file for the pwace.exe to get it's parameters from. The reason I don't like to set absolute paths is because of the environment I'm in and for these .ace programs, it is better if the .dbf files are not given absolute paths.

I have 2 programs.
Prog1.exe is in folder1
Prog2.exe is in folder1/subfolder
When I execute this in Prog1,
Process.Start("subfolder/Prog2.exe")
Prog2 runs.
But...When I execute this in Prog2,
Dim sw as new streamwriter("1.txt")
sw.write("something")
sw.close
1.txt is created in folder1, and not subfolder.
I can do a easy workaround by passing the full file path when creating the streamwriter, but I just want to know if it's a bug or what.

I need to access a file path, but a part of the path is different on each PC. Mozilla creates a random profile name for each PC it is installed on. I can get most of the path through environment variables. I need to access the files inside of the default profile, but can't since I'm not sure how to access it.
Here's an example of the file path:
'C:Users\%USERPROFILE%AppDataRoamingMozillaFirefoxProfilesxxxxxxxx.default'
The only thing that stays the same with the profile name, is the '.default' part.
