How To Put Files From Current Directory Into A Combo Box
Nov 24, 2009
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 professional edition and I was wondering how to put files with a certain extension such as .txt from the applications current directory into a combo box in the application itself.
I have no idea how to do this or even if it's possible.Actually if no one knows I would like to ask how to get a button to open up one of those file browsers to look for a certain file and then assign a variable to the path of the file selected.

I cannot read files from the current directory. If I give it a absolute path name, works fine.
I get a file not found error, saying C:programfilesCommenfilesMicrsoftsharedevserver10.0stormdoor.html. A interested fact is that my project is not stored in the folder it says it's current, the project is stored in C:useres edpoottelmydoumentsVisual studio 2010WEbSitesmaster2

I have created a project in VS2003.Net under VisualC++.-->Windows32 Application. I have to make an executable file that I will be able to run from different machine.The purpose of this file is to read some files that are in a particular directory. I will run the VSC++ .exe file from this folder. So I have to use some code to get the currentdirectory(directory where the current exe file is existing). After getting the directory, I have to find all the files in this directory that has an extension of .config.

For some reason, before the selectedindexchanged sub routine finishes, combobox Description is still pointing on the last selectedindex changed and the combobox Image is on the actual current selected index changed. Once it exits the routine both combobox are in the current value.
I cant see why this is happening, causing a lot of trouble.

I have an ACCESS database containing VBA code residing on a USB drive in a directory called 'collect'. When the application runs the code uses a DLL that is in the same directory as the application. The code in the DLL is VB.NET.
The DLL is declared :
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "x:collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
This works fine but it only works when the USB drive is mapped to x:
The follwoing which I expected to work does not
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "wcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
and neither does
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

I want to save the directory that a user chooses when they open a file with the OpenFileDialog. I currently have
FileDir=My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory
after the open dialog, and this works ok in Windows XP. But on Windows Vista this seems to give the Application (.exe) directory, whihc is not what we want.

I am after the one which is most used. A number of ones I have come across are:

Environment.CurrentDirectory()
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
Application.StartupPath (this one doesn't work for me, missing a library?) I am using it to save a file, for argument sake, "test.txt"

I am working on an inventory managment project for a lumber mill. I am currently writing a piece of software to be used on the sorting section of the mill. The problem I am having is when a stick of lumber needs to be cut down in lengt. My current setup has a combo box that is populated with lengths of lumber that we might have (2' - 60'), a "Add" button and a data control (homemade solution with lots of labels, and panels).
The user will scan a tag into the system, and the system pulls up the info from the db. If the piece need to be cut, the user will select the length of the cut, and click the add button. The system will then populate the first line of the data control with the info from the cut (previous piece info, and new length). It also populates a pieceObject struct. This happens for any additional cut that might happen.
The problem I am having is that everytime I press the "Add" button, the length variable will update every length in the piece array.
Here is a section of the code I am dealing with.
piece is a lumberPiece, and pieceAry is a array of 15 lumberPieces
Each time the add button is pressed, the current data is stored into the array, and then the pieceNum is incremented.

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?
