View 3 RepliesI recently came across a problem with My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(). It will not delete read only files.I found out by Googling that I could delete the read only files by changing the file attributes to 'Normal'. So I wrote a recursive function, as below.
Private Sub DeleteDir(ByVal dir As DirectoryInfo)
For Each d In dir.GetDirectories
DeleteDir(d)[code].....
It seems to work fine, but it would be nice if My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() had another parameter to delete read only files, or there was an easier way to do this.

View 2 RepliesI want to develop an application which can Write, Save, Read text files(or html files) What I want the application to do is. When I open my application I can write stuffs and then it will save it to my hosting/server. Then, the application will read the text which I already save.. So far, I can only make the application read it by using WebBrowser control and navigating it to a specified URL. Example: [URL](or message.txt) Which I modified from the website not from the application. I want to modify the text or html files from my application.

I need to do this with C# but ive never used C# before so i am completely clueless.
I dont need code right now though the first thing i need to do is just recognise what processes this task consists of. What method is used what are the things i need to do.
I really need it explaining in as simple terms as possible ive tried searching the net for it for hours but terminology is so complicated and im so clueless i dont think i would recognise the correct information if it hit me in the face.

I have a program that needs to access the files that are open by another program on the computer.When my application comes up I can easily see if the other application is running with the .net Process.GetProcessesByName method
Dim MyProcesses() as Process = GetProcessesByName("AnApplication")
For Each Instance as Process in MyProcesses
If MsgBox("application is running - do you want to end it?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo or MsgBoxStyle.Question, "Warning") = MsgBoxResult.Yes then
[code].....
The problem is that the Instance.Kill does not allow the application to end gracefully. In VB6 you could use the SendMessage API to send a close message to the application and it would end gracefully - i.e. give the user the normal closing prompt. This just slays the application - leaving any open files in their potentially incomplete state, etc.
I've a small home network and i want to make a program that's transforming files between two computer and make me chat with all computers.
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble opening my vb.net 2005 project from a backed up copy on a hard drive. The original files are on my old XP computer which I no longer have access to. I am trying to open the project in vb.net 2010 on Win7. I have converted the project to vb.net 2010 and when I open the file, nothing shows up, when I try to open them, it tells me the form isn't found in the project directory because it's been moved or deleted. I know that the software on the hard drive didn't back up .exe files, I'm not sure if it did back up other kinds of files. I don't want to restart the project because I've spent over a year on it and have written over 3000 lines of code on it.

This is another thread in VB6.0 but I don't mind doing it all in .Net.
This is the situation: i have the central location with the main computer,and 14 distanced locations connected in VPN and often we need to update program manually (on distanced locations) by overwriting the existing .dll-s of the program and this is pain in the ass to connect remotely to 14 locations and on each workstation overwrite the .dll files so i want to create application which is going to be installed on each WS and by running this app it will check the program folder on central computer and if there is any file with newer version then existing one on the WS it will copy it from central computer and overwrite the old file/s on WS. It is a small app with two buttons and progress bar but the main thing is the Update now button because i dont�t know which commands it should commit.

In my application I play sound files that are located in a folder on my computer's desktop.
Const sSoundFolder = "C:UsersChrisDesktopSound"
Now that I'm ready to deploy my app, I want to reference all the audio files so others can hear them in the application.
I read how to reference them... but what I don't know:
Do I have to change the above code to some sort of reference folder in my application instead of my desktop?
