I have a text file with 12 lines. Each line has different data and I want to compare line 1 with an original string, then line 2 with the original string, line 3 witht he original string and so on. Not sure how to read each line from the text file.
I'm just testing things and seeing if I can get things working and if I can then I want to try and develop this into something more. So far its just a simple button1 finds all files with extension of .mp3 in C: and displays all the findings in a listbox. I then want to use button2 to copy or move (I want to see how to do both) all of the files that are in that lisbox to a directory of my choosing. Here is what I have so far.
Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
I have been creating a program that copies and moves files from folder to folder; I am using this sort of code;
fileToCopy.CopyTo("path here...")
or
FileToMove.MoveTo("path here...")
My problem is, when I am copying or moving a large file, It's taking so much time and my program is hanging until all the files are completely moved or copied. How about, using a progressbar instead, so that the user will be able to see the progress of copying and moving instead of the program freezing?
i am using vb.net to program and process some files.I pick files from one folder process them and once i process them successfully i should store them in a different folder. when i do fi.move(destination folder) i get an error message saying "THIS FILE IS USED BY ANOTHER PROCESS" below is my code
I'm using an xsd file for a couple of my data sets that I'm using to read access databases. While this is great, I just got a new requirement that allows the user to change the link to the access database on their computer. Is there any way to allow them to set the path while still being able to use the xsd files, instead of doing it all through code?
I am working on some software to work along side our client database and I am basaically trying to add in a basic form of File Management. I have a listbox now that displays the current contents of the clients electronic file. I am wanting to set it up so that people can drag files from anywhere onto this Listbox and move that file to the clients electronic file.
For refrence the clients folder is always situated in same place which is client filesclientID where clientID is the clients unique Id on the database.
I as seeking to move 10 file every 10 minutes from one folder to another using .NET (vb c#) I am was thinking that i could of achieve this with LINQ query, but i cant get my head around this would there be a solution with LINQ or otherwise that can select the last 10 files form or top 10 files. so that i can move only these files from Directory1 ( the big pool of files) into director 2 ( a smaller more manageable pool of files).If all fails- then i wll manually have to copy or cut to at a time.
I am making a program that takes files (inside their folders) and copies them into a selected file path. For example, I plug in my jump drive, run my program and it copies my files on the jump drive over to my PC. Now my program does this but it takes the files inside each folder in my jump drive instead of creating a folder for each one in my jump drive. The result is a mess of files in the selected pathway in my PC.I went and created variables in My.settings so that you can save the file path even after you close the program. I just want the program to copy the folders(with the files in each folder) in my jump drive and move them over to my PC.I am using this program copy the files from my jump drive over to my PC, because I save a lot of work on my jump drive and I need to back it up often.

I am having trouble opening my vb.net 2005 project from a backed up copy on a hard drive. The original files are on my old XP computer which I no longer have access to. I am trying to open the project in vb.net 2010 on Win7. I have converted the project to vb.net 2010 and when I open the file, nothing shows up, when I try to open them, it tells me the form isn't found in the project directory because it's been moved or deleted. I know that the software on the hard drive didn't back up .exe files, I'm not sure if it did back up other kinds of files. I don't want to restart the project because I've spent over a year on it and have written over 3000 lines of code on it.
I am creating a setup file using features brought by Visual Studio.I have some files which can't be removed from the application's folder. How to put the condition on it? or how to prevent user moves it after installation is done?Those files are critical (eg .dll).I already set the 'Hidden' property to 'true', but I think that is not the correct way :)So I try to find another way to do that.
I have a system that detects USB mass storage devices. I have a "list of items" listbox (ListBox3) and a list of USB's (Listbox4) When Button4 is pressed it will transfer all files in listbox3 onto the mass storage device selected in listbox4
Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
Catch MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.") End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.
I was trying to do a label that will slide from left to right of a web form in vb. I search on the web it only have example that work for windows application form.. I wanted it to be done in web form..
I have a very wired problem. I have a txtbox which i attempt to act like a password box (ie. everything you type becomes ****)
I use a simple counter that just shows a * for each time the text is changed.However the "typer" wount follow, it just stays in the beginning. so the result is that the code is spelled backwards.
I use the following code. try it for yourself if you dont understand
I'm using VS2010 Express, and Visual Basic.I'm trying to make a fancy drop down list next to text box. When the user enters some text in the text box, the program will look up values in a database and show them in a list box (to easily select some existing items).The list box is in a panel control, which is initially hidden (and I have other stuff in the panel for other features.)If the query finds some entries in the database, I want to show the list box (and the panel and everything in it) and then move the panel so its top left location aligns with the top right location of the text box.I can get the panel to show (visible = true) but I can't get it to line it up with the top right edge of the text box.I'm using this code to move the panel after I set it visible.
I have this Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown lblText.Text = rectangle1.X If e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then rectangle1.X = rectangle1.X + 5 [Code] ..... And the text changes but the ractangle doesn't move... What can I do?
I'm working on a .Net Windows application. All the controls arrange fine, but when the user specifies their Windows display text to be larger than the Windows 7 default of 'Smaller', the controls get moved around on the form and makes it unusable.
Is there a way to lock down those controls no matter what the display text setting is at?
I have a text file which contains large amount (around 44,948 rows/lines & 9 columns) of delimited text data in a text file which I want to populate onto a DataGridView table. I have written the below code, but the application gets hung for the rest of the time & so I have to stop debugging the program.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim x As New IO.StreamReader(fileLocationTxt.Text)
Now what I suppose is that, After I entered something in "Comment" field and press the Key "Enter", the next row of the "Comment" field will get focus.
I added the following code of the event "PreviewKeyDown", but it seems that the next whole row will get focus not only the "Comment" field...
Private Sub TxtComment_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs) Dim focusRequest As TraversalRequest Dim focusedElement As Object = sender
i have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like Dim strTest As String strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt") Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.
I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
I am loading a KJV.rtf file at program startup into RichTextBoxDisplay. When I want to select, lets say, Matthew Chapter 1, I want the program to take me to Matthew Chapter 1. I know I could just load a seperate file into the rtbDisplay, but do you know how many chapters and books are in the Bible..
im trying to split a folder of text files into several folders of no more then 12 files a piece, we have wedding photos 1-144 which would like to have um split into folders of 1-12,13-25 etc, found something that might work but it does it by files size
