How To Automatically Copy A File
Apr 15, 2009
Is possible to add, a file to the solution explorer, and setup, at compilation time, the file to be automatically copied to the output directory. I wish to copy it to a subdirectory, but it looks like there is not an option other than the output directory. I cannot embed the files as a resource, because the user should be capable of modify or replace them. There are other options, as content files, but I cannot find how to manage them, or if they are useful for this purpose.

Firstly, I have the utmost respect for programmers & IT professionals. I'm a newby/wanna-be. I'm looking for help on developing a small program/script that helps me with the task I have detailed below. I am NOT submitting this as homework. This is work-related, but I'm NOT asking you to do my job. I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn more about programming by doing a task that I need done. I'm very interested in core concepts, steps, and your advice on how best to tackle this task (which tools, language, etc.)

I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.

I have a weird behavior when trying to copy a file with System.IO.File.Copy. The file never gets copied. More than that, the call doesn't generate an exeption!

My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile to move logs of a command line application to the directory that I want.The problem I'm having is that, if the file already exists, the program errors out. Which makes since.I could just use conditional logic to replace or rename the file if it exists. The problem with the former is that I need to keep all of the logs and the problem with the latter is that, without knowing how many files could exist, I wouldn't know when to stop renaming files.If I knew that there were only going to be 5 files, then I could work with it. But since there probably won't be a finite amount of files, I need something automatically amend the new log to another name. For example, if I had "Test", then the log would amend the next file Test1 and so on.

I'm trying to figure out how my program can automatically select a file to upload. I use the following to open the dialog box:
wbMain.Document.GetElementById("upload").InvokeMember("click")
and the focus is on the input, so i was thinking i could just directly send the string of the path of the file i want to upload. So I used SendKeys.Send(FilePath) But nothing happens. This is on a try/catch and I'm not getting any error either. How can I make this work?

I'm trying to make an HTML Editing software with vb.net and one of the features is debugging with a webbrowser. I want the webbrowser to open up the file that the user is currently working on. They have to save it before they can open the webbrowser, so possibly it could be webbrowser opens the last save, but this is the best I could come up with.[code]

I started making a program, and I wanted to insert music to play. i just added music to the resources and used the code my.computer.audio.play(my.resources.name_of_the_file and so on. this worked perfectly until I added the 5th song. the resource file became to large and vb said it was corrupt. so I thought of a new way: making a music file opener. I made a code so a window opens where you can select your .wav files. that all worked, but I couldn't get it so the music would start automaticly or that it would actually play. this is the code I have so far:
vb.net
Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog()
Open.Filter = "Wav [*.wav*]|*.wav"
Open.CheckFileExists = True

I've got an app which uses a background worker to copy files. It works fine but some files are quite large and it "appears" as though the app isn't doing anything. Is there an alternative to the File.Copy method of copying files so I can report on the progress of individual file copies, like the percentage complete?

Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)
