I am confused on saving a file to a certain folder. I know how to save files and what not but what I can't figure out is this:I right clicked my project name in VS2010 -->New Folder and added a new folder. Now this folder shows up in my Solution Explorer. How to I reference this folders location?
I am runing a third party application which creates a file in c: with the file name as "982345612_". Please note that the numbers are generated randomly and can be anything between 0 and 9.
What i want is that as soon as the file is created i want to read the first nine number from the file name and show in a label in my form. I have no control over file creation but through my form i want to read filename as soon as the file is created.[code]...
Are DLL files created by creating a Class file in VB ? If not, what are their purpose ? If I were to create a class that held the functions I needed for my program to function, would the class file compile with the assembly as a DLL ? Do I have it all wrong ?

I am using zipforge.net to archive files in a small backup program I am creating. Everything works fine however if I try to archive a large number of files the process of zipping them gets slower the further along in the job it gets.
Example: I have a directory that contains a little over 100,000 files in it. Each file is only about 200k of text. When I use the zipforge zip class it starts zip'ing very quickly but as it gets about 40% of the way through the directory it starts to slow down... at about 60% its working at a snails pace.
Memory usage for my solution also goes up proportionate to the archive file size as it grows. Currently it takes around 26hours to backup this directory which only contains 4 gigs worth of information.
If I use a program like winzip I can zip the folder in less than an hour. I am thinking there has to be a way to write to the end of the zip file without having to open it every time or without keeping it open. My backup software scans the specified folder and writes each file path and name into a text file. Then it reads the text file line by line and passes the path + file info to the zipforge addfile().
So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)
I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?

I have one control named thumbviewer inside repeater. I want to set its imageurl in code. Currently it's done in aspx itself as <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" > <ItemTemplate> <span style="padding:2px 10px 2px 10px"> <bri:ThumbViewer Id="Th1" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Name", "images/{0}") %>' Height="100px" Width="100px"/> </span></ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> How can I set ImageUrl in code?
I'm creating a number of textboxes, all calling a function during the onchange event to update their value to the database. These boxes are dynamically created in the backend because the data changes based on specific criteria that can be changed on the page. Here's the creation of the boxes:
Dim t as TableRow tC = New TableCell Dim txtBox As New TextBox
[Code]....
When I enter a number into the Textbox, the event fires as expected, but it fires twice.
I want to make an application that's pretty much all server side. I have everything sorted, apart from downloading images from my server. I have a listbox containing all the game names, in this format. pacman rallyx mspacman asteroids There are many more, that's just an example.
Each game name is stored as a folder on my server. Inside those folders is the games boxart, called boxart.png. What I want to do is make an application that makes those folders and downloads the images. I have made the "create a folder for each game name" code already, now I just need to add another line or two to download the image inside those created folders.
For x As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:UsersJoelDesktopids" + ListBox1.Items(x).ToString) next
im new to coding (started coding last month) so im a little stuck on how to do this, im making some emulation programs to learn coding with, and a part of it is to point the app to a .iso/.bin file and scan the data inside of the iso/bin to check if a file exists.[code]My issue is i cant find any class examples, or any information etc on how to code it so my application can see the data inside of the iso/bin instead of just see'ing the iso/bin file, so that i can then check the data inside the iso to see if the file exists etc.Im a novice still at coding so making a new class myself to look inside the iso/bin is to complex for me.
I have some variable that when divided I get this symbol: -1.#IND when you look at the variable in debug. This only happens when I put the equation in the Dim statement.
[Code]...
I don't have a problem. Why when I put the equation up in the declaration area it sets it to -1.#IND (I assume this is infinite or NAN or some such). I'm curious as this is the only time I've had difficulty with this.
I'm very new to programming with Visual Studio(just a few weeks). I've read through a beginner's book and I've started to write my first little programs to get used to coding and to improve my skills. One of the first programs I had created was a simple currency converter. I've created a list box and a combo box with a number of different currencies in them and I want to know if there is an easy way to attach a value to each of these selections. For example, if someone selects British Pound in the list box and Indian Rupee in the combo box, I want to be able to have the British Pound be worth 1.67(versus the dollar) and the Rupee to be 25.00(versus the dollar) for example so that I can create a simple function that will change pounds to dollars and then to Rupees so that I can do this calculation with a multitude of currencies. If you have some idea of how I can attack this problem,
To improve performance, when one has many files to readwrite it is better to save them in smallergroup in different folders. Is there a magic number over which it is better to start splitting the folder? for example below "10.000" (invented number) files can be stored in one single folder, while above that it is better to start storing files in multiple folders.
I have an app where a user enters information on a ticket and that ticket is saved off to a file on a share.Later on, when the ticket is closed or resolved, the file is deleted.Pretty straightforward.The below code is used to achieve this but, and this is the odd part, I'm finding that sometimes the app does not write the file and other times it will not delete it.I've confirmed that the user is running the latest version, that the tool isn't in off line mode, that all the appropriate criteria are set to true before entering the routines. It works 99% of the time but every so often it doesn't create/delete the file and there are no errors thrown or anything.Going into this section of code, chkOffline is not checked, "GoNoGo" is set to "Go", "Type" is set to "Live" and all fields have been filled out on the form(and vetted).What's more, there are other actions earlier in the app/sub that rely on these same conditions and those actions are getting carried out.[code]
I've been having a very odd problem when creating zip files in vb.net. They are ok when I run the code and save the file locally. However, if I run the program via remote desktop, and then save locally, the zip file is corrupted, and will not open (message "cannot open file:it does not appear to be a valid archive").I have tried opening it as a txt file, and found that there is a load of HTML at the bottom of the corrupt version, that the non-corrupt version does not have. Anyone got any idea how this extra HTML might have got there?[code]
I am using Git for source control on a .NET project. Is there any way to include the current Git revision number in my EXE upon compile time?
I'd like to be able to have the revision number available for an "About" dialog, or similar. Perhaps there is a way to update Settings.vb right before build?
I am need of creating a windows executable that contains a compression of certain other binary files, (executables etc)
It is a basic form with a button, on press of the button, it has to decompress certain binary files( some other executables too) into a certain path, the decompression happens based on some specific conditions and not always., This is the reason I could not use WinZIP to create the EXE.
I create some files in VB.net from a master file but when I try to open the newly created file, Excel starts and nothing is displayed, you can see the outline of Excel and it's menus and nothing else. You can't do anything with excel except close the entire application. [Code] It is upon trying to re-open where it fails, outside of the VBE. I have not had a problem like this using VB6 before, so I am assuming I am doing or not doing something.
I know how to monitor newly created files etc but what i want to do now is monitor firefox and IE when they close. my application is running in the bg and i need it to perform a command when the browser closes.
