View 10 RepliesMy goal is to take some form inputs and prompt the user to download a summary of everything once a certain button is clicked. I have no need for the file once it is downloaded and so I'd like to have a solution where the data is streamed directly to the user. My current solution doesn't even prompt the user for a download. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?[code]....
View 2 RepliesIm learning Visual Basic 2010 on my programming class and we reached the part of file handling. Here i tried to make a simple program that can create a text file with the content of what i type on the textbox, basically i create the file if it doesn't exist, and if it already exists i append the content to it. Once the file is saved i can read it using the "Open" button. Unfortunataly, whenever i try to create the file, the compiler gives me an error saying that it cannot modify a closed file, although i've followed up the execution instruction by instruction and i can't find the error.

I want to download thousands of files from the web and save them locally. What is the most efficient way? It is important the failures timeout within 10 seconds.
Is there a better way to stream one stream into another? Maybe a smaller buffer, like 1024 bytes at a time, is more efficient for large files?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a simple web browser in Visual Basic 2008 (with Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) that uses the Gecko engine via a tool called GeckoFX and the XULrunner's dll's and resources.About GeckoFX - geckofx - Project Hosting on Google Code The book I am learning VB with hasn't covered this aspect yet but I almost have it all set up - this is just a side project I decided to play with because it looked really easy.
The Problem:
[code]...
I have downloaded both the GeckoFX package and the XULrunner package and unzipped them and placed the GeckoFX folder and the XULrunner folder in C drive.I have right clicked Choose Item in the toolbar and chosen the GeckoWebBrowser control to use in my form app.I know the path to the XULrunner runtime is C:xulrunner My browser only has the windows form with a text box, a button and the GeckoWebBrowser control.Now I need to set the call for the uxlrunner startup path where it needs to be. I have read that if I right click the project in Solution Explorer, I should see this option under properties.. but I do not see anyplace to do this

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a per-user shell for a Vista box to simplify use of a particular system for my users. I have no problem making a program that I want to use and I am familiar with the process of editin the registry to make my program the users shell but I've run into a snag.
Whenever a user with the custom shell logs on, there is a delay just after they enter their password where the system will sit at "Preparing Desktop" for about 30 seconds. I know for a fact that the user desktop is already made and this shouldn't be taking that long.
I've poked around on the web and see various places saying that winlogon is waiting for the shell to flag a "shell ready" flag of some sort but I am unfamiliar with any such flag.
Anyone know of such a fix for the long login time or anything about a shell ready flag?
