A simple WebKitBrowser1.Navigate(localfilehere) doesn't work for some reason.
I tried adding "file://" to the URL but that didn't work either.
This seems ridiculous but is this functionality really not present?
I'd like to integrate Webkit.NET into a VB project, but I'm not having any luck so far. The Webkit.NET tutorial page gives a demonstration in C#, so I assume that it's possible to use this in VB.NET as well? [URL]
I added the control to the project successfully, but since I'm not familiar with C#, I haven't been able to convert the code successfully (even after running the code through a few different online C# to VB.NET converters). So... has anyone gotten Webkit.NET (or any Webkit-based browser) to work in VB.NET? Or am I just dreaming? I would love to be able to use the default .NET WebBrowser control for this project, but this project requires doing a few things that the IE browser is not capable of (but Webkit can do it easily).
In 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}""",

NB: I'm aware that the logic above is inefficient and actually ends up calling IsURL() more than it has to
I'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.
View 4 RepliesScenario: I want to develop an application.The application should be able to connect to my remote server and download data to the local disk , while downloading it should check for new files and only download the new ones simultaneously creating the required(new) folders.
Problem: I have no idea how to compare the files in the server with the ones in the local disk.How to download only the new files from the server to the local disk?
What am thinking?: I want to sync the files in the local machine with the ones in the server. I am planning to use rsync for syncing but i have no idea how to use it with ASP.NET.
But 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 am drawing a total blank and my web searches are not giving me what I am looking for.
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.

Private folderBrowserDialog1 As FolderBrowserDialog

I want to get all the files from my local directory in my web page the same code works fine and it returns all the files when i run the code on the local system but when i'm trying to do that online it gives me error.
the error is
"the path is not in legal form"
for the line
Dim files As String() = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path,".gif")
where is path is the path like(c:/images)
I know this shouldn't be as hard as I have found it to be, but I could use some help on a problem. I have used, and am familiar with the FileUpload control, But now I have a need to allow the user to choose a folder path without selecting a file.

I have 19 .CSV files that hold engineering data in single and multiple Arrays.I would like to loop through the Directory that contains the files and open each file, fill the array and close the file and continue to the next in Alphabetical order.
This code tells me how many files I have now and will update if I add more.
Dim FolderPath As String = IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "DATACSV Files")
Dim TestFolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderPath)
Dim FileCount As Integer = TestFolder.GetFiles().Count
FileCount give me my number of files but not sure how to continue. I have the code to open and read the file but not how to keep changing the file name for each new file name base on the number of files that exist.

Am writing a simple application which can write a to pdf,doc,xls and access files. so far it can write to word.i also want it to be able to navigate a hard disk and open these files using filters. i was using this code to write to the files

I am writing a program that stores filenames, along with a lot of information about the files in a database. I need to be able to open these files in three different programs from my application. One of these programs, AutoCAD is the default program for the files, but the other two are more difficult. These two need to open the file in a program that is not the default for the file type. Eventually, I'd also like to allow users to point the application to the instance of AutoCAD, MasterWorks, or FeatureCAM that they want to open. I have found articles that explain how to open a file in a default application and articles that tell me how to open any application with a file name, but only 1 suggestion of how to control the program used to open the file. For some reason I cannot get AutoCAD to recognize the file I feed in if I use this method though, so I think it's wrong. This is the method I found that doesn't work:
Start("D:Program Files (x86)AutoCAD 2007acad.exe", file)file is a variable that contains my file name. Since this works fine when I take the program path out, I know the filename is correct, but AutoCAD says it is not.
I am programming using VB-2005 on a Vista Based machine. I am trying programmatically to open a PDF file that is Password Protected. I have worked out the steps required to open a non-protected PDF. Adobe tells me that it is not possible to pass a password to the PDF using the objects that come with the PDF Control. My question is can this be done in some other way, e.g. with WinExist etc.? Is WinExist and other such commands even available in Visual Basic?

View 1 RepliesOk hard to explain this one, it may be the codeproject addin i added recently or its a setting i have changed somewhere but when i'm debugging my app opens up many .cs files, kind of interesting but when i want to step through my code it goes into these files and when it errors it has no reference to where the error actually is. sometimes these files being opened have errors on them which i have had to correct for the code to work.
Has anyone seen this before and what could i do to stop it, i wish to confirm that it is this addon before i remove it (which i will do if it is this addon causing this).
First time user on here, basically have been teaching myself VB and I enjoy it quite a bit! Basically I have a program now that has the File Drop-Down Menu with Open and Save options. I want to open and save in a .txt format. The open command will need to place the text in TextBox1 ; and the Save command will need to take the text from TextBox2 and save it as a .txt. I have gotten to the point where it will save it to a specified .txt file, but I would like the user to be able to "browse" the computer for where to open from and save files to.
View 4 RepliesI'm programming a small windows app that allows the user to fill out some fields and then creates and runs a batch file based on their entries. The program works, but it doesn't.The program creates the batch file just fine but when it tries to run the batch file, it gets errors in the cmd window saying it cannot find the scripts the batch file is trying to call. What's confusing me is that if I take the batch file the program created and run it myself, it works just fine so I know it is not the batch that is the problem. My best guess is that there is some security setting for vs.net that I've overlooked but I am only an "every once in a while" programmer so I really don't know where to look. Additionally after running the batch, the program is supposed to delete the batch file but that fails as well with the message that it cannot find the batch file, the same batch file that it had just created and run.
View 1 RepliesI currently have a part of my program that uploads an image file MainChart.png from a set location (locally) to a set remote location(on the ftp server). What I would now like to do is be able to upload more than one file at the same time.
What I am currently doing is repeating the same block of code, but changing the image file name from MainChart.png to another one of the image file names, so have about 8 instances of this block of code, Where the file name is just changed.
Does anyone know how I can do this in just one block of code, rather than the program having to keep calling another Sub and logging onto the FTP site each time for each image file that I want to upload?

i've been trying to make a simple web browser, but i've been trying to have it run on WebKit because IE sucks.

I am new to VB. I got interested in VB because it supposed to be easy to work with without learning a lot of complicated code. I want to design a web browser in VB 2008 or VB 2010 and instead of it just being a shell for Internet Exploerer, I want to use Webkit as its engine.
Is this possible? Otherwise, if I made a browser with VB what would it use.. IE's engine?.. and it would not really be a web browser but Only a shell for IE.. isn't this correct?I want a standalone app that I can distribute.
Also, whats the difference between the free VB express and the paid for Full versions of VB?
