How To Search For A Folder - Database That Gets Updated About Once A Month
Jan 16, 2012
I can figure out how to do this, but Im not sure what I should be looking for. I have a database that gets updated about once a month, and when it does, it changes the name of the database file to match the date and time the new database was created.
The file name always starts with DB and the rest of the file name structure is DBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (After the seconds, the file name is the same for all of the databases)
There are a few things I am trying to do.
1.I want to be able to search the update folder for whatever database is there
2.Trim the file name to return the database name as DBYYYYMMDD
3.Search the local database folder for the specific file name and return it in the same format as the update
4.Compare the two file names and choose which decide if one is newer than the other based on the date
What I need to know is what this would be called and what I would need to use to accomplish this.
OK, I'm writing an application to in effect publish (convert) files from folder A to folder B. There's a lot of files so I don't want to do them all each time, but instead just the files (in folder A) that have been updated/added since the last run. I know on files there's an archive flag. Is that fair practice to use that for such a purpose? To check it to see if a files been modified/updated? And then for my application to clear/reset it when I've 'published' it? Or are there other methods? Obviously things could be done on modified date, but this seems open to obvious problems...
im having a problem with replacing some files in a folder, i have made a Auto Upater for a application im making (so beta testers can test it and also get updated stuff to test) now i can replace the Main application.exe with
If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe") Then File.Replace(Application.StartupPath + "\update\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe.old") End If
This is after i have unziped the main update.zip folder it downloaded
but i also have a Data folder in the Main application folder and inside the new update\Data folder its has updated files now i cant list all files to replace like above as i want be replacing all files all the time, so im looking for something like you have on windows (would you like to replace files) without the prompt its just replaces them, so really im looking for a move and replace without prompting

I have created an updater for our clients application. The way the updater works is to download all the updated files and store them in a temporary folder then check the file hashes. If everything is ok it will copy the files to the applications installation folder. Once this is been completed it will delete all the updated files in the temporary directory.

I can't find how to search for a folder (directory) that contains a string and copy all the folders (directory) that contain that string to another directory. So you search for the name of the directory, not the files in the directory.For example: 'KTNPRK' in E: gives:E:KTNPRK1, E:AZNKTNPR76, etc...
I'm trying to write my first application which connects to an Access db. It took me hours to understand this, but I figured out that, if during the creation of the connection I chose to copy the mdb file in my project directory (VB asks this), I get that the database is not updated. Everything works, except the save button which saves new rows in the db. If I answer no, and the original mdb file is used, the database is correctly updated as expected. Is there a reason for this? Why is this happening? Shouldn't the database bu updated anyway?

I have a datagridview bound to bindingsource. Whenever I delete a row, it is not updated to the underlying database table. I have to click elsewhere in the form to cause the dgv_rowValidated to fire where I have the following code in there to push changes to the database:
bs,EndEdit Dim cb As New SqlCommandBuilder(myDataAdapter) myDataAdapter.Update(myDataSet)
Normally, where do I place such code for updating when comes to deleting a row in datagridview? I noticed userDeletedRow event does not fired when I am deleting the last row in a one row datagridview.
The label never get updated when it is assigned a new value from DB. I try with label.refresh method and also update method but the label still never get updated.

I have invoice form bound to a bindingsource and bindingnavigator. In the form I have unit price, quantity and total textboxes. The total textbox text property is set to total.text = quantity.text * unitprice.text in the textChanged event of both quantity and unitprice text boxes. The result is displayed in the total textbox. But when i hit save button on the bindingnavigator it is set to null and not saved to database. [code]When I used msgbox to see the value of total textbox before bindingsource.endEdit() it is the correct value. but after the code bindingsource.endEdit() it is null. I checked the databinding property and it is correct. What is the problem.
I've created a VB.NET Windows Form application which pulls info from an MSAccess database via datasets and tableadapter. When the user makes a change to the data, I use the Update method of the tableadapter to send the changes back to the database. This all works fine in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE, but once the build is done and the application is installed, I run into problems. The application keeps the original data and will not read or write to the database, although any changes I make through the application are mysteriously saved somewhere. If I make changes directly to the database using MS Access - which I need to be able to do - those changes don't show up in the data pulled into the application.
currently i had a program which working fine when its running in the solution explorer,but after published,problem comes.my datagridview cant show updated data while my database access already update...my datagridview only show existed data.could it be my datagrid problem?i get my data programmatically or is my INSERT command doesn't update the dataset?but in the solution explorer does show the dataset was updated.

I can edit the values in the dgv cells manually, add rows, delete rows all without problem and then update the database.My problem is in one form where I want to allow the user to filter the rows in the grid and then enter a value in a textbox and programmatically update all the cells in one column with that valueI can update the rows, and see the changes in the datagridview. When I try and update the database (using UpdateQuery on the underlying TableAdapter of the datagird) only some of thechanged rows are being updated I though it might be related

I want my game to tick over month by month at a set interval. I would use the timer control to get the interval. But how can I pause it? Say if one "month" is 5 minutes in my game and user hits pause. I would disable the timer but then when they unpause the game the timer would start from 0 again. This would make a "month" 9 minutes if a user paused the game in the 4th minute.
