Remove The Filename And Extract Just The Path Of The OpenFileDialog.Filename Property?
Oct 17, 2010How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

View 2 RepliesOdd OpenFileDialog Behavior Filename Scrolled To Left
Jan 29, 2011I set up an Openfiledialog and put in an initial filename value (the last filename the user opened).However, when the dialog shows up, it is as if the filename has been scrolled off to the left.I only see about the last 10 characters of the name, even though the filename field is big enough to show the whole name.It is also selected, which is ok - it means if the user types a name the value will replace what I've put there, which is reasonable behavior.How do I control this 'scrolling'?I call it scrolling even though there is no scroll bar.If I click in the field and use the left arrow key I can back up to the beginning of the filename - the filename gradually shifts into view about 10 characters at a time, until I reach its beginning, at which time I see the entire filename in the filename field which is how I'd like to have things when the opendialog opens.

Streamreader Limits - The Streamreader Works Fine Until The File Is More Than 100,000 Bytes Long?
Apr 19, 2011I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

StreamReader/Writer - Loads An Entire Text File Into A Streamreader Variable
Jul 9, 2009I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

VS 2008 Scan A Long String And Return Any Values That Occur Between The Tags <FileName> And </FileName>?
Jul 1, 2009Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

Jul 1, 2011I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:

Get The FileName For The Proces.Start(FileName) Method?
May 27, 2009I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.

I have it in a Do While loop reading line by line, but it doesn't finish reading. It reads about 27 lines out of 4000, then stops.
I changed the contents of the file it was reading, but it's still just save as a txt notepad file.
I also changed how I tell it which file to open (UserSelection.T2) however it does open the file just doesn't finish reading it.
Doesn't kick back any errors, it just doesn't read the entire file.
