Make A Progress Bar Track "My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile"?
May 30, 2009
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile is a built in .NET method, can I make it display the download via a progress bar;It currently hangs my whole application until the download is complete; i would like to make a thread and have a visible view of the download progress;
Im using My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(OnlineLocation, FullLocal) to download a file, how can i check when its done and also i want to track the progess with a progressbar. How do i do this?
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://MyDomain.info/MyFile.zip", SaveFileDialog)Hi, the above don't work, what i need is for it to popup a savedialog for the user to browser for a location to download the file
I try to download a file by using the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile 'command'. The path i use is this: [URL]. Everytime i want to download it, it downloads the HTML file of this zippyshare page! I want just the .mp3. How can i do that?
I use this line to download files: My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(VideoFilename, SaveLocation, "", "", True, 8000, True But if a users cancel the download my application crashes. I searched Google but there's very little info about this problem. I tried with: My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(FilenameMP3, SaveLocation, "", "", True, 8000, True, FileIO.UICancelOption.ThrowException, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin()) But that line of code doesn't work. I need to get rid of the file when a users cancel
I have read about Network.Downloadfile and I think I understand it! I want to know if there is an easy way to test a files date modified before downloading it. I have a lot of files in the folder. I really want to "sync" the folder. I don't want to copy every file every time I want to only download the file if I don't have the file in the destination location or if I have an Old copy.
I'm trying to make a program where you can keep track of your progress through various projects your doing. I'd like to have it so they can add a new project via the text box/button and then when they click on that project from a listbox or something(still trying to figure out the best way) it shows the notes they have typed etc. I know how to make it so its saved when they exit and all that good stuff but I'm not sure how I would do everything else.
I have tried using the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method but unfortunately it is slow. Executing the simple command below takes ~5-10 secs, which I would say is a lot longer than expected for downloading a 9 kb file.`My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.google.dk", "j: emp est.html")
I have a problem I want to make a server and client where the server is password protected and will make the client display files/folders in a designated folder which will be in the server's current directory and the client will ask what IP and password to connect to and if the password is correct is allows the client to access the files/folders in that folder in C.D. of the server and the client can download any file within the folder by clicking a button, yet don't even know where to start.
i came a across a forum. it states the use of progress bar as track bar but that's after using mouse
Private Sub ProgressBar1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ProgressBar1.MouseMove but i wanted to have it in click eventi.e.Private Sub ProgressBar1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ProgressBar1.Click
I'm using this piece of code for VB.NET to download the text from a website:
Dim Str As System.IO.Stream Dim srRead As System.IO.StreamReader Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com/file.txt")
[code]....
It is just a text file, and is rather small, so it downloads really quickly. But I do believe that in the future the file will become considerably large. Is there a way to track the downloading progress from the above method?
i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main() ' Data buffer for incoming data. Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
I have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.
I am developing a computer application designed to monitor the network and CPU statistics on a computer remotely. The monitored computer would have my program installed and the monitoring computer would display, in a form, the information being sent from the remote client.The application does not send any information regarding packets, user names, passwords, etc. It is solely meant for monitoring CPU performance and Network resources remotely.
What would be the best method to send this information over to my host machine?I am programing in Visual Studio 2008 on windows XP. The client machine is also XP. I know this sounds a little shady, but it is required for my little business (http://www.iquorum.net) to monitor what and when something happens on our machines when I and my employees are away.
I need to copy a file from a local computer to a remote computer on the network, if i try to use File.Copy without logon i get the following error:"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."How do I provide user name and password for file copy?
I am trying to track the progress of a meter in a flash window and click when it reaches a certain point. I am currently using getpixel() to "watch" a single pixel and when it changes to green, perfrom a click. Problem is i have to "watch a pixel" about 20 pixels left of the intended target and then click. Reason, when the program has realized the pixel is green, it clicks, but this has not been as accurate as needed. Sometimes it clicks to soon and sometimes it clicks to late.
Before you suggest using DIBS, i didn't use it because i am loading a 1x1 screenshot and watching that pixel in a loop. I figured since i was continously loading a new bitmap via getpixel that dibs would not be any quicker. The way i read dibs is that if i was loading a bunch of pixels it would be faster because it goes ahead and loads into an array.Is there another way to monitor a meter in a flash window?
Private Sub btnDing_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDing.Click MyColor = Color.Black
I am trying to use a power meter to track the progress of my program; this will be for my use only and will be removed later. I would also like to display the percentage run in the meter. I already know what the start and end points will be for the meter. What do I need to search for? I have been looking and haven�t been able to find anything that suits my needs yet. I am running VB 2005.
I'm doing some very basic ground work, I know someone who is building a model train set and believe now you can control the track switches etc via computer, does anyone know anything about these? could something be built in VB to do this?
can anybody teach me how to do that(I'm newbie in network programming), to detect all the computer name's list in the network(LAN with(out) domain) and also the IP's list of the computers.
