Locating External Files Doesn't Working
May 3, 2009
I'm very new to VB, so I was in the very first tutorial, it has me play a sound file. So I put that in, ran it, and it came back with an error saying "system cannot find this file." I guess I'm not terribly surprised, since the file they gave has no C: or anything like that. What I want to do now is play my very own sound file, but I don't want to go through the whole C:Documents and Settings... thing, so is there a way I can put my own sound file in the project directory and say something like %ProjectDir%/sounds/mysound.wav?

I have intellisense when i type this:<p><%= boolean.falsestring %></p>
I don't have intellisense when i typ this:<p class="<%= boolean.falsestring %>"></p>
To further clarify (see line below), the first <%=%> doesn't show me intellisense popup, the second however does, why is that? <p class="<%= boolean.falsestring %>"><%= Boolean.FalseString%></p>

I use Visual Studio 2003, VB.net, NetFramework 1.4 and Windows XP I have been using the following Code Snippet for a number of years in both Web Services and Windows Applications. However suddenly around the 29th September 2010 it has stopped sending E-Mails from both Web Services and Windows Applications. The same problem has happened not only to my own Network but on two other Networks, one using XP as its Server and the other using Server 2003. All 3 of these are using different ISPs.

My module won't run, it can't find the project or library, and highlights: the Date function in: MsgBox (Date).This is happening to several VBA functions, but this is the first one.I have all the libraries referenced that I think I need, especially the Visual Basic for Applications checked.There is a MISSING: Office12 library, but the Date function is part of the VBA library, so I don't think this should be the issue.

I am using vb.net express 2008, with a windows form application, and its done. My application makes use of cmd script files, and other files I have created myself. I want to put everything in an install bundle, which will copy the files to a directory on the users computer, and then my application can read from that directory, for it to function as it should. The install bundle includes the .exe of my winforms application.Right now, I hardcoded my application to look into a specific folder on my system, just for testing purposes, but I am going to deploy it soon, and I want to give as much flexibility to the user.

I am developing a Winform Program in visual basic and I am using Access Tables. I want to use a bindingsource filter to do a search on Stock descriptions. I am using this but it doesn't seem to be working
Me.StockBindingSource.Filter = "ITEMNAME LIKE '%" & SearchTextBox.Text & "%' AND [Supplier1 Price] <> 0 AND [Supplier2 Price] <> 0 AND [Supplier3 Price] <> 0"
What's happening is that I am only seeing products where all 3 suppliers have a price listed that isn't 0. (Products have a zero price when it becomes discontinued or supplier doesn't sell that product but we may have purchasing history against it so it can't be deleted). Therefore we do end up with products where all 3 suppliers have a zero cost. These are the products I don't want this search to return.

The below query fails with Null Reference Exception when there are elements in BOMIDs where MatID property is nothing.I thought the 'x.MatID isnot Nothing AndAlso' would prevent the x.MatID.Process part of the where from being executed. There are a couple elements in the BOMIDs collection that where MatID is nothing.
From x In BOMIDs _
Group Join y As PurchasedProcess In SpecialProcesses _
On x.MatID.PurchasedProcess Equals y.Name _
Into G = Group _

I'm writing a program that allows users to view certain files using a DataGridView as the selection method I can do most of that just fine. Here's the part I'm having trouble with: I want to open the files using whatever program they have associated with the file extension. After researching it (on these forums), I determined that I should use the Process.Start() method. However, Windows throws an Win32Exception if there is no association to the filetype, and I want it to show the "Open With" dialog instead, and I can't figure out or find how to do that.

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.

The problem - The btnPause doesn't pop up until AFTER the thread sleeps, but the other two buttons works correctly. What the heck is going on? Here, I'm using the Sleep to simulate doing external events yet to be programmed.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Some of the programs I am writing make extensive use of External files (saved games, data, item lists, etc.) I could use an easy way to get these files to ride allong during deployment (cd mostly). adding them to the resources works for some static pictures, but custom structures into lists of info to read and write from are beond that features abilities, same with the settings feature. I have found in other help referance to "MageUI.exe" so is downloading a .net SDK my solution or is there a better trick I can use?

Program : my game is a frogger port, you make the frog cross the road until you run out of lives. When you die, you are asked to enter your name and the name is appended to the end of file called names.txt, the final score is appended to the end of a file called scores.txt.Using the System.IO functions, i read the contents of each text file, and load the contents into two separate strings (one for names, one for scores. These two long strings are then broken down using Split() command, transferring the pieces into an array. (again 2 arrays - one for names, one for scores). The contents of both arrays are then loaded into 2 listboxes, 1 for scores, 1 for names.
Problem: i can sucessfully load the contents of both files, and display them side by side - but i want to re-arrange the scores so that they are in descending order. While doing this, i need to make sure that the player name matches up with the score - so the order of the names being displayed would have to be changed aswell. After spending many, many hours trying to do it myself i have had to give up - i'm clueless. My first issue is converting the score array into integers so that the array could be sorted, the second problem is then sorting the names so that the scores and names match up.

I'm trying to copy multiple excel source files into one excel file. My current code is working only for 3 source files..If more than 3 files are there, it doesn't copy the data but creates blank work sheet in the output excel file. Lets say I have a source folder with 5 excel files. Each workbook contains one worksheet with data. It copies upto 3 worksheets along with data into output excel file.
Lets say excel1 contains A as work sheet, excel2 contains B as work sheet ,excel3 contains C as work sheet ,excel4 contains D as work sheet ,excel5 contains E as work sheet .Now my output excel file should look like..OutputExcel with A, B, C, D, E along with respective data.But my current code is giving output as A,B,C worksheets along with respective data but its creating blank sheet1,sheet2 in place of D & E.

Basically we ran into where, for whatever reason, we had to put some 3rd party dll in the GAC for it to work correctly. (The assemblies loaded, but had weird behavior and trouble finding types in the loaded assemblies. The app itself is a add in to another 3rd party program, so it must be something about how its being loaded.) So I tried to write some quick code to handle this without having to manually do this on each machine it was needed on. This is basically what the code boils down to:
Dim X As New System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish
X.GacInstall(name)
Where name is the filename of the dll. This runs without error. It even add the assembly to the GAC. However, the application still experiences the same issue until you manually add the assembly in .Net Configuration window.

I do not have access to the DLLs currently in production on a new project I am taking over. The source code is accessable but I want a copy of the original DLLs that were compiled and implemented in production via GAC. When I explore 'C:WINDOWSassembly' the DLLs are properly registered there as expected. I understand the GAC store the DLLs somewhere. where so I can get copies of them. The OS of the machine is Windows 2008 Enterprise.

I have a problem with MDI forms and their location. I have a container form within which I open several child forms. Also note that in the container form I have a ToolStrip at the top and it is also docked to the top. In each of the child forms I have set the following properties. I have set them at design time as well but it wasn't working for some reason so I put them in the form_load event as well.[code]...

I want to learn more about API codes, but I don't know how to get started. The thing I want to accomplish today is:basically I want to be able to locate a certain text box anywhere on my computer, and then I want to be able to write something to it. For example here on Firefox, you see the navigation toolbar. I want my program to find the name for that window, and then to type for example ("www.vbforums.net") automatically.
