I have a VB .NET 2010 app that I created with a button to open the remote computer's C$ (administrative share). This code works fine with WinXP, but since upgrading to Win7, it won't open the folder.
Here's the code I'm using:
Shell("Explorer.exe \" & ComputerName & "C$", 1, False)
How would I create a dir Inside %temp%? Then extract the file to it and Open a That folder. So far this is my code.

Having difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?

View 3 RepliesIn PHP you can use fopen(Path) to read from a file. The Path can be either a local file (in the usual formats /etc/file or c:file.txt) OR it can be a URL in which case PHP will open a http connection and read from the remote location
I'd like to achieve the same in VB.Net. I'm not aware of any framework function which will achieve this.
I'm currently pattern matching the path against a Regex for a valid URL - If I get a match, I open the file using a httpwebrequest otherwise I try to use the local file system.
Private Function RetrieveBGImage() As Image
Dim Ret As Image
If Not (IsURL(_BackgroundImage) Or IsLocalFile(_BackgroundImage)) Then
Throw New Exception(String.Format("Unable to load from uri ""{0}""",
[Code].....
NB: I'm aware that the logic above is inefficient and actually ends up calling IsURL() more than it has to

I need to open a folder on a remote server with different credentials in a window (explorer.exe).I managed to do it with no credentials (my credentials), but when I do it with another username and another password than mine, it opens a prompt to enter a username and a password, and it says "access denied".
In the access log on the remote desktop, it says that I tried to connect with my own username, and not the other username I entered. So, the process obviously did not work.

I can add a folder in the setup/deployment project and it gets added when my project is installed. when I do it by writing code, I get a message "access is denied", but the programme will continue to work. I eventually worked out that I had to right click the exe file (in programfiles) and run as administrator so that the directory is created (as the form loads).
View 3 RepliesBut now I have a need to allow the user to choose a folder path without selecting a file. Basically a folder location, on the local hard drive where my code will read the files located in the choosen folder and process against them.

I initially developed this with a Windows FolderDialogBrowser control, but it will not run on the web server, likely a security issue, and I can not change it.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
