May 20, 2011
im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far!

I am trying to select a folder in a very similar way that we do using "OpenFileDialog". I searched for different sites and did find something but all of codes were tweaking "OpenFileDialog" and selected files..... I have seen applications where the select dialog box does NOT show the "File Type" as well as the "Open" button has "Select" name on it. Any idea how to get such dialogbox?

How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.

I'm working on an application, a GUI front-end for a command-line program. What I need to do is this:-use the OpenFileDialog to retrieve the command-line program's path (as it may be in different places for different users)-save that path string in a variable that I can use later (save "C: arget" in a variable called mainPath)

The code below reads an Icon from an .ico file, converts the Icon read to a Bitmap and saves the bitmap using:
Bitmap.Save(PathA)
Then does:
PanelShowWrittenIconA.BackgroundImage = New Bitmap(PathA)

I'm making an MP3 Player using windows media player, I know how to use an openfiledialog to open a single file, But how do I use to to open a whole directory, Like of music files, And then add the file names into a listbox so they can just click on them to play them? I'd like to just use the title of the song like
Artist - Song title instead of like C:usermusicArtist - Song title.Mp3.

I am trying to open a .csv file via openfiledialog and then display information on a datagridview...What would be some ways to approach this? I have tried reading the file, separating the values by commas and placing them in a string followed by placing the string into a list. I place them in a list because I have more than one string of text I want operated in the CSV file. How can I display each string of separated values onto my datagridview?

Let's say, when you click a button it just opens a specified .txt file and adds the data of it to a listbox. I mean automatically, without that file opening dialog showing?

could someone give me a some sort of clue about opening nonexistant files in VB.NET?? I am learning this as I go, and I can open existing files using the OpenFileDialog box, but I cant not find an real explanation on how to create a file if it is not in existance... in other words, I want to know now to code so that when a user enteres a filename in the filename box in the OpenFileDialog and that file does not already exist then the file is created as a new file, and then opened. I have done some googleing and found all sorts of examples on opening existing files, but nothing that really gives a good explanation of how to create a new file and then open it...

I am having a funny problem with OpenFileDialog that I just cannot solve. Using VB.NET 2008 Pro.
Problem: I run my program and click the menu item associated with this OFD and the OFD opens fine. When I select a file and click OPEN the dialog disappears then reappears. I click OPEN again and it disposes itself then loads the proper file into a form. The same thing happens with the CANCEL button as well.
Question: How do I go about coding the OFD to open a file that has been double clicked on thus bypassing dialogresult.OK . I can't seem to find an answer to this.

Does anybody know how to make an OpenFileDialog where the file displays in a textbox, BUT, can only show the file, not the directories(eg. "Song.mp3" Not "C:\Files\Song.mp3")I've got the code for the OpenFileDialog
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then TextBox9.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName End If And I've added the OpenFileDialog. I just don't know how to display the file without directories.

This is my first post on dreamInCode, Is it possible to browse and select a file on a server share, but I need it to return the UNC path. e.g. if I select F:\sharename\filename.txt, it will work out the share path on the PC and show the actual Path.\\servername\sharegroupName\sharename\filename.txt
The reason for this is that some users have different share drive letters.

I'm revamping a program and am having a bit of trouble. See I was using StreamReader in my last program. The user had to type the path and file into a textbox to get the program to load the information it needed. So I wanted to change that and use a OpenFileDialog method.
I got the open file dialog method working but the 1st step before I go anywhere else with this program is getting the path to the file that was opened as it is needed to load images within the same folder.
