I have an application that uses some external files. When a button is clicked, it opens 2 excel files and writes to one text file. When I publish this, it does not include those files. How can I make it include those files in the final solution. I have added them into my solution explorer under different folder names but they are not there.
View 6 RepliesWhen I publish my program I get no errors, and then when I install it on another machine it says it gives me the error that it can't read the txt file that it stores data in. If I hit continue it also fails to read the database. The database file is stored in the bin/debug folder and I told my program to include it when I first added the data connection. Anything I can do to have these included so my program can run on other machines?

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.

In my code I reference certain excel files by listing the paths and names within my code. I've herd that if I put my excel files in bin/debug/ then I no longer need the path and can simply refer to them by name.

I have also added them as an "Item" and have their properties referenced as an "Embedded Resource", but still no luck. Maybe i'm just calling them wrong? Below is my code....

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to include a few text files in my project. These files are read and used to make decisions in the program. Ordinarily, I would just set the file path and open the file via StreamReader, no problem. However, this application now needs to work on other computers and I want to include the text files in the application directory. I've researched two ways to do this:
1) Include the files as resources and reference them via my.resources.
I've gotten this to work ok, except the files are opened as strings upon starting the application. They are fairly large files, which I imagine is taking a lot of unnecessary memory. Also, StreamReader wont work with these files as resources,
or at least I can't figure out how to. My application is already based around using StreamReader so I don't really want to change this.
2) Include the files as additional items. I know how to do this too, but I can't reference the files programmatically.
Can I use a resource text file via StreamReader or how would I reference the files if they're included in my project directory?
