I made an application that uses text files from a folder and i included that folder's path in the code, How can I make the VB take these files with the .exe file and make it work probably?
View 4 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?

View 7 RepliesI want to build a recent files list into my program.
The hiearchy I currently have is "MenuStrip>File>Recent Files>File1".
I have a function which saves the files and opens them. It also stores the file name and file path in sperate variables:
CODE:
I would be able to change the text property of the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) to the SaveFileName easily, but how would I make it so that when you click the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) it opens the Savefile file?
I would also need the program to save this list so when I open the program again they are still there.
i was just wondering if in Visual Studio there was a way to put all the referenced DLL files in a separate folder for when you build the project? I'm talking about when you build the project and go in Bin/Release or Debug, i have the exe file along with all the DLL files in the same folder and would like to clean it up and get the dlls in a separate resource folder or something like that.
View 2 RepliesRunning VS2008 working on a customized DotNetNuke version. This issue has come up a couple of times figured I'd see if it's unique to this installation or if it's a IDE bug.
In short I have files that get locked as Readonly and the only way to unlock them is to do a build.
The app I'm working with takes > 60 secs. to build on my box. This error seems to reproduce fairly regularly but you'll need an app that takes a while to build to try it.
During a build try to edit a file.
You should get the error "Cannot currently modify the text in the editor. It is read-only." and a little lock should appear on the tab.
If you wait till the build completes the lock disappears and the file can be edited.
However if instead you cancel the build the file stays Read-Only until such a time as you either restart the IDE or run a build and let it complete.
Looks to me like someone forgot to call the unlock files method in the cancel event handler.

View 2 RepliesI am writing a manager for an app that we use at the office. I have successfully written launching, monitoring, and managing number of instances using the process class.Each file is the data output for one study. Each of the 2-8 instances of the application will run 1000 studies overnight. The fault would be that the file stops growing. I cannot just check for that, because it also stops growing when it done with one study. I need to be able to determine which files are being written by which threads (or vis-versa where i know which files are 'running' and need to see who owns them)?
View 13 RepliesI have a program that processes files in a special subdirectory and the program processes the files based upon the "Type", i.e., "Text Document". If an application, such as a text editor, installed onto the system, the "Type" may change to suit that application. For example, I recently had one change the type from "TXT File" to "UltraEdit Document (.txt}". Yes, the squirrely brace was on the end, don't know why. Well, after this app was installed, my program found no files of "TXT File" type to process even though the subdirectory was full of filename.txt files.
So, how can I get the code to look at the file extension, not the Type? A few lines of the code are shown:

View 3 RepliesI have a process of copying files from one path to other in my application. The problem that I am facing is, when the copy process starts. my application will be busy for that amount of time and cant do any work.

I have created an aplication that opens pdf files for different GPRS settings of various phones. These pdf files are stored on a remote computer(central machine). I am having problems using the process.start . This is the code that i am using for my search button:

Does process.start recognise IP adresses
I have a Windows service that is watching a folder for files that will be placed there.(Created in Visual Studio 2005.)The files each represent a transaction, and the transactions have to be kept in order.As I process each file (transaction), I want to forward it to someone else.(The someone else wants them kept in order.)It looks like I can't paste multiple files into a folder simultaneously and still be sure that they will be processed in the order of the original date and time they were created.Nor can I be sure that they would be read in name order.(FileSystemWatcher would grab them in any old order it chose.)So I think I will have to move the files into the folder one at a time, in the proper sequence.But I'm wondering if I could get into a "racing" situation.
When FileSystemWatcher detects a file in a folder, it creates a new thread for your event handler to operate on.If it detects a second file while still processing the first file, would it then create yet another thread?If that is the case, then if File1.xml takes longer to process than File2.xml, it seems like File2.xml might finish first, resulting in my transactions getting out of order.In my own experiments,I have not seen evidence that multiple files are really processed simultaneously.I write messages to a log file as I process each transaction, and I never see messages from File1.xml's processing intermingled with File2.xml's messages.This seems to be true even when I paste both files into the folder simultaneously.it only keeps one event-handling thread going at a time, and queues up the events as they come, processing them on that single thread.Otherwise, I'll have to do something to ensure they are kept in order.
I'm completely new to .NET and am trying as a first step to write a text processing program. The task is simple: I have a list of 10,000 text files stored in one folder, and I'm trying to read each one, store it as a string variable, then run it through a series of functions, then save the final output to another folder. So far I can only manage to manually input the file path like this (in VB.NET):
[Code]...
I'm wondering, therefore, if there's a way to automate this process. Perhaps for example store all input file path into a text file then read each entry at a time, then save the final output into the save path, again listed in a text file.

View 3 RepliesI have an issue in my project I am programming in both Matlab (Matlab2011a) and Visual Basic (VS2008).I've created a .exe file from my matlab code. It works well when I click on it with my mouse.But I need to run it within Visual Basic. I know it's possible to call .exe files with Shell() or Process.Start(), and it works well for files such as firefox.exe or notepad.exe. However, it doesn't work when I call my own .exe file ...It's weird because when I look to the Task Manager while trying to call it (within VB), I can see the process starting and ending, but its output doesn't appear.

Lets get down to it, Basically, I'm making a kind of "Anti-Hack" for a project I'm working on.The basis of the "Anti-Hack" is the check processes for names of known Memory Editors, For example, one memory editor I am scanning for is Cheat Engine.exe, I am using this code to scan for it, then I use the result to activate a different piece of code.
If Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine").Length = 0 The
'It's OK
Else
<Removed for obvious reasons>
End If
Basically, I don't want my code to look like a library of If statements when the only thing I am changing is the process name, what I want to do, is have an encrypted .dat file with an array or list of known tools. I want to then go through the array/list and keep checking for instances of them running.I know nothing of how to encrypt/decrypt .dat files through VB. (I'm not an expert at it atm )I am open to other ways (Easier ways) of doing this, like a Class with a list of names etc.
**NOTE** I would rather it be a separate file as the program features an Auto-Update feature, so it will be easier to update the list.
**IMPORTANT**Also, I would like to know how to hide my process, so it cant simply be ended, It may sound suspicious but people will be able to just close it and start hacking T_T, Unless there is another way, I would appreciate it (Like making it so it cant be ended etc.)**IMPORTANT.
Using windows xp. Sp3. over 100GB free on each disk that I use,Attempting to unzip a file that has directories in it. I want all files in the zip file to go to one directory ignoring the dir structure.I'm using VB to do this. Problem is that the process hangs at the same place on 2 different machines. Any ideas. Code below in vb and the results.Executing the same command line from DOS works correctly.unzips 72 files then hangs.

newProc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
newProc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True

Here's where it stops. And shows the dir struct of the zip file NDDF Plus DB. i've got a screen shot of the dir structure and files. basically it unzips the files in order of the dir structure and stops above.
