extract a single file (WantedFile.xml) from a .ZIP file (THEBIGZipFile.zip) using native VB.NET Code?I think .NET FW 3.5 or 4.0 has "System.IO.Packaging.Package " which can be used? Not sure. Please advice.
Note: I will not be able to install or distribute any other DLLs like (ICSharp or VJ# or cant use process command to invoke winzip etc).
As there are no zip/unzip functions in vb.net, has anyone figured a way to do this without using any 3rd party components?I was thinking there might be a way to call a shell32 command to gzip.dll, or some other way to use windows native unzip functions?

View 4 RepliesI am trying to find out how to zip and unzip a file in Visual Basic 2010. I have looked extensively on google and youtube, but found little of use. I was able to run one block of code though:
Sub CompressFile(ByVal filetozip As String, ByVal zipfile As String)
Try
Dim fs As FileStream
[Code]....
but this is not what I need. I am creating a Desktop Screen Capture Program, for personal use, that takes a screen when a set timer ticks (1 min or 60000 milliseconds) and in that timer tick a call to a sub is made, CompressFile( file, compressedfilename). See the problem here? It overwrites the compressed file with the second screenshot. So I need to know how to create a Zip Archive, preferably Not using Gzipstream. I need one that i can open in Winzip or 7-zip. And before you ask, yes I tried to add a reference to the 7z.dll, and error. It does not matter whether the solution to this problem requires outside or inside visual basic, though i ask you ensure it is Virus-Free if it involves downloading.

View 6 RepliesI'm attempting to download a file with a custom "message" i.e. with specific bytes sent to a server. I am using the lightweight utorrent setup file which could be easily downloaded with the statement in the first code tag or even using a WebRequest, WebResponse, StreamReader etc. But for some reasons I need to be able to code the "message". I would explain why but that would just be a diversion...Anyway the problem is that the packet gets saved in its native form but I need to be able to save the packet to the actual file without the header and etc. The sample code is in the second code tag.

Dim server As String = "download.utorrent.com"

I want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?
I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

View 2 RepliesIn my contact manager program I have been storing information by reading and writing comma delimited files for each individual contact, and storing notes in a file for each note, and I'm wondering how I could go about shrinking them all into one file effectively. I have attempted using data entry tools in the visual studio toolbox and template class, though I have never quite figured out how to use them. What would be especially convenient is if I could store data as data type IOwner (a class I created) as opposed to strings.
I'd also need to figure out how to tell the program what to do when a file is opened (I've noticed in the properties how to associate a file type with the program though am not sure how to tell it what to do when it's opened).
Edit:
How about rephrasing the question: I have a class IContact with various properties some of them being lists of other class objects. I have a public list of IContact. Can I write Contacts as List(Of IContact) to a file as opposed to a bunch of strings?
Second part of the question: I have associated .cms files with my program. But if a user opens the file, what code should the program run through in an attempt to deal with the file? This file is going to contain data that the program needs to read, how do I tell it to read a file when the program is opened vicariously because the file was opened?

Imports System.Net
Public Class Form1
Dim Directory As String
[CODE]...
I'm using Visual Basic Professional 2010, I have two directories of XML files. The naming convention in directory one is a user's name, a six digit date and ending in ".xml_CREATE.xml". So, I perform some work on a file in directory two. During the course of that processing I discover that a file exists in directory one called "Mike" an unknown six digit date and ending with ".xml_CREATE.xml", so while I have no way to know the date, I know it exists and would look something like Mike030312.xml_CREATE.xml. So, now I want to load that file as an XElement that I will eventually incorporate into an XDocument, so I need to perform a Load similar to:
myXMLFile = XElement.Load(My.Settings.XMLDir & "" & Mike030312.xml_CREATE.xml),
However, since I don't know the date, I need to insert wildcards at that spot. How do I make that happen?

View 3 RepliesI am using vb 2010 and a windows form in my Web Browser project. In my favorites bar I need to be able to import my users favorites (that he may add) through a .txt file. I realize one way of doing this is creating multiple files stored in one master folder and reading the whole file of each which would contain the URL, but I would much rather have them all in one .txt file, but for that to happen i must read line by line from that file to import the favorites. Therefore, my question is how can I code my project to read through a .txt file line by line and return each line in possibly an array? "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."
