View 16 RepliesI'm deploying a VB.Net app (VS 2010 Pro) that requiers the user click a command button to open IE to a financial WEB site and download informaion from the site. The app works fine in every detail when installed on the development computer. But, on the target computer when the command button is clicked an unhandled exception occurs which says: System.IO. FileNotFoundException:File Not found.My code behind the button is Shell("C:Program Files (x86)Internet Exploreriexplore.exe www,fidelity.com",AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
This works fine on the development computer. Do I need a way to code this as a relative path? If so,can you tell me how this is done?Throughout the app I have written relative paths to needed files using paths like (Open(Environment. GEtFolderPath (Environment. SpecialFoldder.Desktop) + "File Name). They all work fine when deployed.

I need to backup the sql server 2005 express database. It works fine if I make backup to specific folder"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup". But if I change the path to any other path . I got an error "Backup failed for Server 'server name'. "
My code is
Dim sqlBackup As New Backup()
sqlBackup.Action = BackupActionType.Database
sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive"
sqlBackup.Database = "data"

I have my desktop app, bound to an access database. I want now to improve a button so the user can make a backup of the *.mdb file.So i used this
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath <> "" Then
FileCopy("BDGRACIA.mdb", FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath & "/BDgracia.mdb")
End If
End If
It works fine when i try the app from within Visual Studio. But when i install it it won�t find the database because it was installed elsewhere.Is there a way to control where the DB is installed and follow that route? Does this depend on the OS the app is installed? Or did I face the problem wrong and i should do something completely different with my button?

I have a https site where i have to display images from a http source. To enable this i want to make a proxy, so i can display the image as:
src="https://mydomain/showimage.aspx?url=http://externalserver/image.jpg"
I can do this in Java, somthing like this:
Code:
InputStream in = new WebInputStream( url );
BrowserOutStream out = new BrowserOutStream();
while(in.read()){ out.write() };
in.close();
out.close();
Simple enough (although the code is simplified here). But i cant seem to find a proper example of the equivalent in vb .net. I am assuming i have to use System.Net.WebClient.OpenRead, but not sure where to go from there.
I want my program to grab any image on the site that the url starts with like lets say can I use wildcards on vb.net?[URL] like [a-z|A-Z|0-9] or something like that? The full url for a image smaple would be [URL]
View 6 RepliesI have been playing with vbs for a couple weeks. I just installed VB2008. I would like to create a web bot that can do the following:
Load the web site
Log in with user name and password
Click on buttons within a game on the website.
This would be a game bot for a game similar to nordic mafia.
I am not sure if this is possiable but I am looking to build an application that will login to a web site, navigate the site and download files. I would like to do this all in code and able to run multiple instances of the program to get information from many different web sites. Is something like this possiable in VB.net?
View 3 RepliesIve got an app that holds a list of site we have, At each site there are a few devices. The idea is when they click on a site all the details for the site are loaded and then a second thread sits and pings each device to see if its live. Im trying to do this in a seperate thread so if they click another site while its still pinging them it doesn't wait before it switches site. This all seems to be workling fine except if you click through the sites quickly, when you do that it will eventually come up with

I'm being asked to maintain several internal-only web apps for my company. For testing, after making my changes, I've created some staging sites which make use of separate databases. As such, if my users were to mistakenly use this site as if it were the production site, they may enter important data and wonder where it "disappeared" to thinking it was the production server.
I'd like to create a big banner of some sort across the top of the staging site (which ONLY appears on the staging site) to remind my users that they are on the test site. I'd like recommendations on the best way to do this, with the following considerations:
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
Server: Windows 2003 with IIS 6
Language: VB.NET 2.0

I am trying to create a custom control using vb.net.I have added a image to the user control and the problem I am having is that when I resize the image, the image seems to move as well.I want to be able to resize the user control height without moving the image on the user control.
everytime I resize the user control, it seems to move the image on it as well.Is there a way of leaving the image where it is without moving it as the user control moves?
I've got code to allow the user to import an image to the document they have opened, however right now, the image displays at it's default size, and well, if it's a large image, the document stretches and looks like crap.
