View 7 RepliesI have a simple app that reads from a very large text file, and returns a value if a string is found. I can instruct users where to download the file, and where to put it, but it would be nice if I could embed the file with the publish, so that the program knew where to look by default.Getting users to download a seprate file is painful. This file has 1.4 milion lines of text. I really need it to look for the file in a predictable place and be able to run against that by default for most users. I can have experienced users browse for a new file, but most people aren't into that much thought.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a program in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010 to edit web pages that allows the user to download, edit and then upload HTML files.
To download I use:
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(New Uri(strSiteFileName), strLocalWebSiteFolder & strFileName, "", "", False, 100000, True)
My problem is that if the file being downloaded is an HTML file that includes a <!-- #include file = [filename] --> line then rather than just downloading, the file that is downloaded and saved actually includes the 'include' file's text, not the line to include the file. I just want to download the file including the reference line.
For example
if a file named 'footer.html' is simply one line as follows:
<p>This is the footer</p>
and a second file named 'index.html' is as follows:
<html>
<body>
<p>This is the main part of the file</p>
[Code].....
Is this a feature or am I missing something? All I want is the basic 'index.html' file to be downloaded.
