how to make VB handle my associated files.I made a program that opens fine when from the EXE file. But however, when I try to open it from the associated file, it behaves the same way as if opened from the EXE.So, where (in what method?) do I tell VB how to handle those files?

i have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like
Dim strTest As String
strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt")
Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.
Possible Duplicate: Can .NET intercept and change css files?
I have configured IIS6 to get .NET to handle css files.I did the following steps
Launch IIS Manager Right-click on Default Web Site Click on the Home Directory tab Under Application Settings click on Configuration.Add a new association for .css and map it to .NET executable:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_isapi.dll
How can I check if this is working, i.e. I want to change the default style of a page depending on the url, i.e. if the referer url is http://intranet, it should continue to use the old existing style style1.css, if the referer url is http://intranetv2, it should use the new style style2.css.
I have been working on a program and I need it to unzip a zip file. I tried handling a zip file as a directory but that didn't work.It wouldn't hurt if I could compress files into a zip file to! But I need unzipping the file first.This is my code handling it as a directory:
Dim count As Integer = Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Games" & game & "�00.zip").Length
MessageBox.Show(count)
It has an error saying it is not a valid directory name.
I know this idea of - if message boxes are used to display error messages inside a .dll and when the .dll is installed in a different computer (possibly a server machine), errors occurring inside that .dll will be shown in the server and not to the user. Since practically there will not be a person near the server to click 'OK' to the error message every time it occurs it will stuck the programs using the .dll.
So how to write exception handling to a .dll project?

View 5 RepliesI have some functions written in C that read & write large binary files (> 4 GB) using routines CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile & SetFilePointer, that use the HANDLE data type to access the file. Some others who are more familiar with Visual Basic would would like to be able to call my C routines to work with such large binary files. We particularly need SetFilePointer to jump around with the files.

I wrote an application to handle a joystick with directinput. It works fine if it uses the handle of the main window but it doesnt happen the same if the handle is the one of the component that contains the joystick's operation.
I mean:
main form handle: 15
component handle (which is inside the window and the joystick needs the focus of this component to work): 25
It always work if the handle i initilizate the device is the main form (15).How can i use only the handle of the component?
I can't get a handle on the syntax. Can anyone give me a simple demo?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to get a handle on the correct way and easiest way to do things. By easiest I am not talking about being lazy just accessing and modifying later on. I have started using my own classes and such but I have a few questions. Sometimes I want to create a control on the fly through code instead of using the designer. Should I create this control in the main form file or in a separate class? If I make it in another class it seems harder to access later on. Then again if I dont know that the control is going to be created(user clicks a button to add a control) how can I access it? Also it seems alot harder to access certain things when it is in another class. For example if I create a new window in a class and then want to check if it is there or not it is alot harder to do.

I am trying to create a small utility that tracks desktop usage in detail, to the level of individual text boxes etc.... in other applications. However, it is proving quite tricky. I thought I had it nailed using the Windows api. The below code is just a snipet of the code but essentially it provides me the handle of the control that the mouse is over. I thought from here, it would be easy to to the same thing but to provide the handle of the control that the cursor was actually clicked on, for example, if someone is filling in a text box in an application, they would not necessarily move the mouse to get to the text box, they may tab to it. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the handle of the control that is in use?

View 2 RepliesI am having a SP run in my VB application every 10 seconds to check for any new rows that have been inserted to the database since the last check. What is the best way to do this? Most likely it will be 0 or 1 rows, but I am afraid at random times it maybe more than 1 and so I thought I would fill it in a DataSet, but I came in here to see if there are any other better ways. If dataset is the best way, how do I do a For Each Row in the dataset to process some VB code for each row?
