View 5 RepliesI am doing some exercises on encrypting data. One of them are binary files. I am currently using triple DES to encrypt and decrypt the files both in VB.NET and C#... Now the thing is, once it is decrypted in VB.NET and saved, I can execute it again... But for some reason, my C# file is bigger! 20,4K where VB.NET one is 19,0. The C# file also is rendered unexecutable...Upon a closer look. The files appear almost exactly the same, but C# seems to add in a few extra bytes here and there in (seemingly) random places... I am currently using:
File.ReadAllText(String filepath, Encoding encoding); with UTF-8 encoding.
I just posted a previous question about updating the connection string. It works fine, but it makes my select command fail. The SqlException was handled that Invalid column name 'Username', 'Password', 'UserType' which they are already in my User table from my database.Below is my select command:

View 5 RepliesI am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application. In this case, acmecadconverter.exe from www.dwgtool.com. Then the PDF that is created needs a unique watermark, so I call a second application for that called pdftk.exe from www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.
Everything works as intended, except when I try file names that contain spaces. The file system object does not tolerate spaces in the drawing file name. For instance, the following command gives me a system.io.filenotfoundexception...

I've mainly been doing ASP programming up 'til now, and I have a pretty simple question.
I'm creating a program that will copy a selected file to a selected directory, and I want to store recent files/dirs so that they can be selected from a combo box. I was planning to just create a settings with "files" and "dirs", and just store the strings as | separated values (since that's an illegal file character).
I've got a setup where a ComboBox displays all files in a certain directory, but it shows each files path/directory, and it also shows the files format next to the file name (i.e. "filename.txt").

I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)
Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt")
Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo
ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.
I have a DataGridView which populates from an SQL query just fine in default mode
using these table names
[firstName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
[lastName] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,

I have edited the column headers and set the column names to the same values as my table names yet the data is not showing in form load I have set datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False I know the data is there if I delete datagridview.AutoGenerateColumns = False then the data is shown with the default headings?
How do I get the name of the last file of a set of files with similar set of names? I have sets of files with the similar names beginning with the same characters such as: D1A2-1.jpg, D1A2-2.jpg, D1A2-3.jpg, and D1A2-4.jpg. The set keeps changing (by adding new files of the same set up to it). I want to get the name of the current last file, for example in the set above it should be D1A2-4.jpg. How can I do this in VB2005?
View 2 RepliesI am doing work for a client who has lost the source code for one of their VB.Net WinForms applications. The assembly they have is not obfuscated at all. I am trying to recover as much of the source as I can as C# source and have tried several tools for decompiling assemblies, including Reflector, ILSpy and JustDecompile (all the latest versions), but they all produce code with a huge number of errors in them. Because of the large number of errors in the generated code, I am going to ask about the specific errors (in different questions), get more directed answers and in this way try shed some light on why all the tools are having difficulty decompiling this assembly. This question pertains to the fact that the code generated by all these tools always have a large number of invalid member variables (fields) such as the following:
private short $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$nHeight;
private ArrayList $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts;
private StaticLocalInitFlag $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts$Init;
why the generated code has these invalid member variables?

View 1 Replieshow to list names from a file, as you enter (spell) the name. eg if you enter 'b' all 'b' names will appear. If you next enter 'e' then all 'be' names will appear. repeating this until the last letters are entered. eg 'bell' will show all names starting with 'bell'. You can then select from the list the correct name?
View 2 RepliesI have some code that does what I need it to do, But I am going to have make changes to accommodate the user request. Basically the program searches a folder for a paint code, ex. 351X035. When the code is found it displays a link so the user can click it to open up a PDF. The way I have it setup now is that they have to know the exact paint code for it to pull the link to the file. I need to search to find the file(s) with less than the exact code.
