The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
Im not exactly sure how to word this question, but I will give it my best shot.In a new program I am starting I would like to put all the code from a button_click event into a file (many others as well into different files), kind of like a class file in the sence of it being external.lets say I have a button called btnadd and it has some validation code in it Private Sub btnadd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnadd.Click
When I run external application from my VB project and kill it (because external application only runs in tray - cant handle window name - i have to kill the process of application) then icon garbage of this killed application still remains in system tray. I need to remove this garbage (something like refresh).[code]...

I am doing a little project to get better at my Vb while I am outside of class and I am making a launcher that lanuches my games from my external harddrive. Now I want it to auto find what the Harddrive is mounted to Like in my Code below this is what I have so far:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then Process.Start("u:\Games\Generals\generals.exe") ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked = True Then Process.Start("u:\Games\Counter-Strike Source\Launcher.exe") ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked = True Then [Code] .....
But Instead of having to go into ym actual Code and Changing it from U: to what ever my drive has mounted to on another computer and have it automaticly find what its mounted to and update my code accordingly.
I am presently using VB2010 to develop charting application. I have noticed that whent he applications are developed on my hp dv7-2270us notebook and stored on an external harddrive, if these same applications are then opened on my dell latitude d610, i will recieve a corrupted external harddrive error. Usually this can be repaired with check disk.
I'm interested in password protecting my external hard-drive. i know there is already programs that can do this but i want to make my own.
make a program that would at start-up pop up and make the user put the password if not then the partition will be set to hidden. also would be a good idea to set the partition hidden until user puts password.
The VB.Net program in question creates several files, adds them into a zip file (using DotNetZip), and saves the zip file into a given directory (which the user chooses). This comes out just fine. But when I use it to save directly to my USB flash drive, I can't eject the drive without shutting down the program first.I've tried disposing the zip object (from the DotNetZip library), doesn't work. I also tried setting FileIO.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory to somewhere else on the machine, still no.
I'm working on an app that should be able to read files from an External Hard Drive or even an iPhone or iPod. I'm a beginner so it would be great to keep it simple :) I suppose I should use the SerialPort class? But I'm not sure and I couldn't make it work.
i am trying to make a program where it copies files to a certain external drive, but i cant figure out how to make it to where you enter your drive letter for the external drive and it copies it.
I need to MOVE a batch of files from one drive to another one by one.How can I know when one file as completed the MOVING process so I the other file in row can start moving
This is probably simple, but the answer has eluded me. How can I move a folder from one drive to another drive. System.IO's MoveTo won't let me move a folder to another volume. Any thoughts?[URL]..

I'm trying to sign my mobile application using makecert.exe (for test purpose only )once I click on the makecert.exe the windows closes immediately ( also when I click on other .exe files like " makecab.exe , pvk2pfx.exe , signtool.exe")I have windows vista computer and I'm using Visual studio 2008 for development.
I move a VB project from school and home on a flash drive. At school drive mounts on E: at home it mounts on F:. I have 4 forms, Form1, Form2, Form3. Form4. Form1 and Form3 have incorrect file paths, it has the E:, but Form 2 and Form4 path change just fine when I move it from school and home.
I made an application to give to my friends as practice for my learning, so the app works fine with XP but not on a Vista 64 bit machine. Will the app need re-coding? The app is used as a game mod, so it writes to process.
We have code in our former VB6 application, that ported fine to VB.NET, that plays a simple AVI file of the typical "flying folders" and "spinning maginfying glass" AVI. Under Windows XP, our application ran fine and everything was good.
Then we had customers start using Vista and Win7 and this stuff crashes. We were using the MS Common Controls (SP4) and then (SP6) - utilizing the Animation player. Now - these dont work and we get nasty errors.
I searched Microsoft and the web to answer the "what now?" question and though there are numerous suggestions, none of them work. We cant use Media Player because we dont want any menu - just the graphic. We dont know why, with the cool tools given in .NET, there is no animation player (seems a huge oversight...) But we need to get "unstuck" on this one, and we need that fast...
So, How does on play a simple AVI file using VB.NET code? What DLL or OCX does Microsoft recommend and is there a place we can find some sample code for it?
I'm running Visual Studio 2005 SP2 on Windows 7. When I'm in the IDE and execute a My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists, or DirectoryExists or CopyDirectory, etc. that accesses a network drive using the drive letter (i.e. L:) it thows an error. If I use the full UNC (\computernamesharedfolder) it works. However, if I go into my project's bin folder and run the compiled .exe from there, the drive letters work. I've tried running VS.Net as admin and it makes no difference. How do I get the drive letters to work in the IDE?
Alright so I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate with a 64 bit processor and the winsock control won't work.Originally Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 didn't have the winsock control, so I downloaded it and registered it correctly and it still wont work. I have no idea what to do,
PHP Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click Button6_MouseClick(Button6, New MouseEventArgs(Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left, 2, 100, 200, 0)) End Sub
[code]....
Why does this function not move the mouse to X100, Y200 and then doubble click?Has it something to do with user32.dll/user64.dll?
