I am creating a file and then trying to read and write to it. I'm coming up with an UnauthorizedAccessException wa unhandled. My question is, How do I get around this properly or otherwise improperly to read and write to my text file?
Imports Scripting
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Security
Imports System.Security.Permissions
Public Class Form1
[Code] .....
I am just writing a simple file browser. It works without problems when I point to a specific directory but throws "UnauthorizedAccessException access to the path .... is denied" when I point to drive "C:\" or "D:\".
If Not txtToSearch.Text = Nothing Then
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
FC = 0
For Each foundfile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:\", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, Nothing)
Dim title As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(foundfile).Name
If title.Contains(txtToSearch.Text) Then
ListBox1.Items.Add(title)
FC += 1
End If
Next
Ive created a simple application that works fine when i debug and test it though visual studio but when i deploy the application, download it and install it onto my machine i get an error.basically when the first form loads it checks for a file called "New Folder" in my program files folder on my machine if the file is not there, then it adds the file. the code im using to do this is:
If System.IO.Directory.Exists(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.ProgramFiles & "New Folder") Then
Exit Sub()
[code]....
I am trying to get a list of files using this line of Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("D:", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)But it errors out on folders that are inaccessible, like the RecycleBin folder & the program stops. So how do I get a list of files in all folders, while skipping the inaccessible one
View 1 RepliesMy application creates a file by writing to System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "data/" & filename...Now this works fine usually, but I just added a setup utility to the app, so now it installs to the program files directory. It installs correctly and creates the data folder, however when it tries to write the file it gets an exception "unauthorized access".

Is it possible to set a variable in my custom class for Private Read/Write access and Public Readonly access without creating Properties with Get and Set? In other words, from within my class I want full access and from my form I only want read access. Right now I declare my variable as either Private or Public to control Public read/write access. I tried googling my question a bit but I'm not sure what the correct terms even ar

I had an exercise where I was supposed to have a button open an openfile dialog box, let the user select a file, then another button that would save the file with the extension ".bak". The author didn't give any clues about manipulating extensions -- but a few chapters back we covered string functions. So, with that in mind, I did the following...
Private Sub btnSaveFile_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveFile.Click
' Where does the extension start

How would I write an exception to a textfile? When the user hits OK I would like to save the exception to a textfile and display the path and file name in a second message box.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get my application to read to and write from an Access database. I am running Windows 7 x64.
If I disable UAC, I don't the error. If I have UAC enabled, then the error occurs. Here is a screen shot of the error:
So I have a database in Microsoft Access (its path is c:database.mdb). There are two tables. Table1 and Table2. I would like to read each row of Table1 to an array, and write a row to Table2.
I have looked all over google, but I couldn't find anything that worked.
I've looked for code on this, and it seems needlessly confusing to me. I've tried some code I found and it doesn't return the proper value (I can't find the link to it now). So, I'm attempting to avoid that which I do not understand by writing a function that creates then deletes a file:
Friend Function GetFolderAccess(ByVal sDirectory As String) As Boolean
Try
Dim fs As New FileStream(sDirectory & " estfile.test", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
[code]....
Through testing, this appears to work for both read and write access. I originally had a File.Exists before the File.Delete, but the function would sometimes return True when it should have returned False.
I am just trying to get to grips with the setup tool in visual studio and seem to be making progress but im falling over with access permissions.My projects includes an mdf table and when i install my project the folder and db file is always set to read only and the application cannot write to it.How can i change or set the permission when the application is installed?

View 1 RepliesIf any directory within a set being searched by the [URL] or [URL] methods contains a junction point, the entire method fails and returns zero results on my tests under VB 2008. I would like to make the call more robust: to return the folders or files not blocked by access restrictions and to note the folders which were blocked. Do those methods offer a means to do this, or is a recursive folder-by-folder call necessary?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to write a console application that can modify registry subkeys on remote pc's in the same network. I have it working in my own environment but when I install on the customer machines I'm getting unauthorized access when it hits the OpenRemoteBaseKey. The security settings in the application properties is set to full trust application so I'm not sure why it won't work.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and first I just installed it on the customer machine and when it wouldn't work I ran the source code in Visual Studio 2005 which is on the customer machine but got same results.I can run the app directly on the remote machine and it will change the registry subkeys as directed, I just can't do it remotely. RemoteRegistry service is started. Both machines are logged in as administrators.
Here is the source code:

I'm running Windows Vista with admin privilege and UAC is disabled but still unable to write to windows registry!
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue _
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun", _
"Test", "C:Test.exe", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)
I'm getting error "Unauthorized Access Exception was unhandled."
"Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE....' is denied."
I've googled the net and found that registry permission elevation is required for admin tasks, Is there away to take registry key ownership through VB.Net code??

View 3 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Some of the programs I am writing make extensive use of External files (saved games, data, item lists, etc.) I could use an easy way to get these files to ride allong during deployment (cd mostly). adding them to the resources works for some static pictures, but custom structures into lists of info to read and write from are beond that features abilities, same with the settings feature. I have found in other help referance to "MageUI.exe" so is downloading a .net SDK my solution or is there a better trick I can use?
View 2 RepliesI have recently decided to give .net another chance, but i have a few questions about it before i get really into it. RE: Files, I use random access files to store data as opposed to databases (namely i don't see the need for a database for storing so little information(records <200 max) knowing that it is an older system and less "cool" i don't care...) Will vs2010 express read, write to random access files? Would it be done kind of like vb6 (which is my current vb version)? I will be needing to print the text of rich text boxes, is vs2010 express capable of doing this?

In VB.NET or C#, I'm trying to read the contents of a text file that is in use by another program (that's the point, actually, I can't stop the program or it stops writing to the text file, and I want to periodically read out what is currently in the text file in another program)[code]in VB the code is above (a C# answer would be fine as well), however, it still throws the IO exception "The process cannot access the file 'file.txt' because it is being used by another process." Are there any workarounds in this scenario?
