I am making a small utility to rename my music library to the same syntax (00-Artist-Album-Title.mp3). All the files are MP3 and are correctly tagged (ID3). This is my current
VB.NET
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...")
[Code]...
Line 33 is where I need to get the song's ID3 tags from Song. I've done a fair amount of research but I can't find anything current or relevant.
I am trying to use VirtualQueryEx to read the memory of a process (first instance of notepad in this case). This function returns a pointer to the MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION structure. I am trying to read this structure.But everytime I try to access a member of the structure, I get a zero, which indicates I am messing something up.I am copying my code here.

I have the following VB function which takes a FileInfo object as a parameter:
Public Shared Shadows Sub Start(ByVal filePath As FieldInfo)
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(New System.IO.FileInfo(filePath.ToString()))
End Sub
In another class I have the following code calling that 'Start' method. But VisStudio indicates there is a problem with the 'FilePath' argument that I'm passing.

I'm trying to analyze web pages for seo. I'm trying to create my own personal tool to extract all the keywords and tags from web pages (a little clearer).I already know how to extract or parse links and text from web pages. The issue is that I tried to implement title tags, body tags or keyword tags in general via using the following code:

For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
If curElement.GetAttribute("href").Contains("http://twitter.com/") Then

I remember seeing a tutorial on reading XML somewhere and took no notice of it because I have my own way of doing things. In this tutorial the author outlined a basic way of reading certain XML nodes using tags
For example,
<Root>
<Person tag = 1>
<name>John</name>
[Code].....
Now in his example one would be able to navigate to John's "person" node by using the tag value. I had hoped I would never have to venture away from my warm and comfortable way of working with XML but because of an annoying datagrid and uncooperative XML format I've had to rethink things.
i have an application that loads a bunch of Mp3 files and then plays them. What I want to do is use a listview to display filename, album, artist and location. Now I can get the information into the listview no problem. BUT, I don't know a simple way to read in the ID3 tags from an Mp3 file.
View 3 RepliesI have been making a media player in vb.net. I need to get information from the Mp3 Tags. First I used ID3v1 tag reading class which I downloaded from somewhere I don't Know. Well it was working fine. it retrieved information like Album, Artist etc. but i need to get the lyrics as well. So I got news that ID3v1 tags do not have lyrics in them as a field. So I tried ID3v2 tag reading class but that too did not help. Can't find any class that can get me the lyrics.
I tried to fiddle with the classes but only ended up messing the whole thing.

Did anyone already try to read RFID tags but not by reading request?I mean, When some tag is readable can't just the RFID reader detect it?So far this is the code I've been trying to use without success.
Imports System
Imports System.IO.Ports

I have a problem reading ID3v2 text identifier tags when they are encoded in unicode. If i update the tags using winamp the tags are encoded in UTF-16 with BOM. When i try to read the tag i step through each byte and use chr(byte) to get the character that that byte represents. But when the bytes are unicode i get some characters (shown below) as the first two characters:
The remaining characters are correct, it's just these 2 first ones.
What are these for? and how can i get rid of them or read the bytes as unicode characters? i've tried reading the ID3 website and many other sites too but i don't know what to do. i can check the text-encoding byte in that tag frame to determine whether or not the tag is encoded in unicode or ISO-8859-1 but i don't know what to do next.

With my code as I have a trouble with the returned strings that I have extracted from my php source to add the strings in my listview.
I'm reading the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 for each paragraph from the php source. I got the returned strings which it looks like this:
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <a href="http://xfvasfasfasfasf">Link</a> </td> | <a href="delete.php?id=0">Delete</a> </td> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
I want the returned strings to be like this when I reads the tags of mystrings1 and mystrings2 while ignore the other tags.
PHP
<p id='mystrings1'>my strings</p> | <span id="mystrings2">Enabled</td>
Here's the
Public Sub timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
timer1.Enabled = False
timer1.Stop()
[CODE]...
Do you know how I can ignore the other tags when I get the returned strings of mystrings1 and mystrings2?
I am planning to create a system for my case study wherein i can Add tags from images and search for it by "tags" such as photobucket. For example i open an image to my system, and it's file name was "WhiteHouse.jpg" and i added or tagged it as "Building". Once i search on my computer, and type the word/keyword "Building", the image "WhiteHouse.jpg" will be displayed on search results as i tagged it on my system.Is that possible guys? or i can only search by tags using my system/application? and not in the search command in my computer?If it is possible please tell me what to do. or if you have sample vb.net2008(windows Application) files it will be helpful. Or if you have sites related into it. pls send me those links, especially downloadable vb.net files w/ codes for further studying.

All tutorials I read before used Extension property to get the extension of a file. How can I get the type of file as a phrase? Example: .vb is 'Visual Basic Source File'. Like what Windows does in the Properties window of a file.
View 9 RepliesI'm using this query:
Dim FilesDirsQuery = From file In
_directory.EnumerateFileSystemInfos()
Select file.Name, file.Extension
It gets all files and directories in the _directory. But how to order the query by extension and name?
So I found that I have to use this to order by extension:
Dim FilesDirsQuery = From f In
_directory.EnumerateFileSystemInfos()
Select f.Name, f.Extension Order By Function(f As IO.FileInfo)
Return f.Extension
End Function
And I have to use "ThenBy", but it can't be used in my example. So I tried:
FilesDirsQuery.OrderBy(Function(f As IO.FileInfo)
Return f.Extension
End Function).ThenBy(..)
But it say's that my nested function doesn't have a compatible delegate. So what should I do?
I've got a Samsung Q1 attached to my computer, and I was hoping to use the FileInfo / DirectoryInfo objects to access the file on the device, however what I right click on a file in windows explorer I get a location of COMPUTER/Q1/DATACASTS/mine.mp3, and when I feed this into the DirectoryInfo object I get "Invalid network drive"
Something tells me I'm going about this the wrong way ... Is there a differant object I shoud use, or is my location string incorrect in format
I have used log4net in winforms before. First time using with a wpf console app. The console shows up and the console appender works exactly as in the winforms app. However in winforms I never had to give the full path to the log4net xml file. It is located in the same place where all the cs files are. (the default place where VS 2010 puts all its source files. So
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo("log4config.xml"));
works in a winforms app's Program.cs->main() but for the wpf version where I have my own Startup class with my own Main() (instead of the autogenerated and hidden main()) I have to change the line to look like this
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(@"c:fullpathlog4config.xml"));
This took me quite a while to nail down so I thought it may be worthwhile to figure why this is so. Anyone know ? I am using log4net ver 1.2.10.0. The log4net dll and xml both have copy to local = true in winforms and wpf.

View 5 RepliesI'm having bizarre performance results of the methods in FileInfo class.I'm using 5 methods of the FileInfo class in the Paint event.The datagridview is bound to the dataset.First the application searches files in the RecursiveSearch. When rows are added to the dataset the Paint event is fired and the rows displayed are filled with extra information from the FileInfo class . In this case the performance is very good. If I remove the DoEvents() from the RecursiveSearch the 5 methods of the FileInfo class become very slow (about 0.25sec for each line of code)!When the search ends, the user can scroll down to see the other files listed.At this point the Paint is again fired. This time the 5 methods of the FileInfo class are again very slow!

View 10 RepliesI have been having problems with creating a download list of files for a downloader and was getting unexplained "File Does Not Exist" returns. My .avi files were returning found but but .exe and .txt files were getting the not exists.
I have now found by pulling in the whole directory and examining the file contents that my .exe files are showing ".exe.exe". My .txt files are showing ".txt.rtf". Wow, browsing the file directory in Server 2008 only shows a single extension. I don't see an option to display the extension as a column, just the "type". My directory looks like this:
Name Type
File1.exe Application
File2.txt Rich Text Document
File3.avi AVI File
I had renamed some of these files, maybe I just cannot rename files. I will try using originals ans see if I am ok. Maybe I need to rename the offending files without the displayed extensions. Is this just something weird with the server browser?
