Reading And Writing Files On External Hard Drive, Code To Ensure SQL Or Data Read/write Execution In Case Of Periodic Drive Reconnect?
Dec 18, 2010
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

I'm working on an app that should be able to read files from an External Hard Drive or even an iPhone or iPod. I'm a beginner so it would be great to keep it simple :) I suppose I should use the SerialPort class? But I'm not sure and I couldn't make it work.

I am doing a little project to get better at my Vb while I am outside of class and I am making a launcher that lanuches my games from my external harddrive. Now I want it to auto find what the Harddrive is mounted to Like in my Code below this is what I have so far:
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Generals\generals.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked = True Then
Process.Start("u:\Games\Counter-Strike Source\Launcher.exe")
ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked = True Then
[Code] .....
But Instead of having to go into ym actual Code and Changing it from U: to what ever my drive has mounted to on another computer and have it automaticly find what its mounted to and update my code accordingly.

I'm interested in password protecting my external hard-drive. i know there is already programs that can do this but i want to make my own.
make a program that would at start-up pop up and make the user put the password if not then the partition will be set to hidden. also would be a good idea to set the partition hidden until user puts password.

My Dad made an application which had a feature that i want, basically his programme reads the users hard drive serial number and then multiplies it by say 12 and then divides it by 7 for example. This number is then shown as a 'Authorisation Code' which the user has to email to him and then his breaks it back down to the original hard drive serial number which he sends back which is the application serial number to activate it. I want to know how to read the actual hard drive serial number or a number that every computer has so i can do the same but i have searched everywhere and cannot find any examples for VB 2008 apart from one which didn't work

I have an application and in this application there is a search option. I want the seach to search for all music and video files. I keep getting UnauthorizedAccessException error and I'm assuming its because my application is trying to access a file for witch access is being denied. This is the code that I am using.tbsearch is textbox and results is the listbox that the search results get added to.
Dim dirPath As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("G:")
For Each file As FileInfo In dirPath.GetFiles
(tbsearch.Text & "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
results.Items.Add(file.FullName)
Next
Also, how can't I make it so that only the name of the file found is added, not the full path. I know that I could instead of using file.FullName use file.Name but then I can play the media file because the application wont know where to find it. Any code that I could use to add only the found file name to the listox? Perhaps I need another hidden listbox that get the full name and then the results listbox retrieves only the last part of the path?

I found something very strange, in the data base explorer I modify the conection to the location of the data base(F:My DocumentsMy ResepteResepte.sdf) , but after raning the app. the path is back to what it was in the project folder and so the same in the selution window. It is set to Do Not Copy. How can I change this so that the IDE looks at the propper data all the time.

I am trying to write a program that deletes temp files from my entire c drive. windows 7 will not allow any file manipulation. access denied . everything works fine in windows xp. what needs to be changed in my code to allow anyone to install this program on their computer and run it without errors like this. I need to change my code to correct this not windows 7, as other people will be installing this on their systems and they can't be setting their c drives. every answer i've found online is either to change c drive to have no security or set the code to demand uac to run as administrator(which doesn't work )

I'm trying to get hard drive temperature data.I can get the temperature via MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData.And, I can get all sorts of drive info (model, serial #, etc. via the Win32PhysicalMediaClass.The trouble is trying to link the two together.I get this temperature info, but I don't know which drive it is.The only identifier I can get from MSStoragedriver_ATAPISmartData is InstanceName.That looks like it has the model number embedded in it, but I can't get model number in Win32 my question is how can I get the temperature data and realte it to a specific drive?

I have made this program in which the user selects a number of directories and copies them all to an external drive. is there a way to detect when the user does something that involves writing data to the hard drive. When they do, I want my application to detect this and back up that file on the external drive as well so that the back up is always up to date.

How can I get VB.NET to find the folder that begins with "17014 -"? The actual Folder is called "17014 - Mr John Smith", but I want it to search only upto the "-" (hyphen) point.
I will then use this to check if the folder exists or not.
