Build A Recent Files List Into My Program
Jun 3, 2009I want to build a recent files list into my program.
The hiearchy I currently have is "MenuStrip>File>Recent Files>File1".
I have a function which saves the files and opens them. It also stores the file name and file path in sperate variables:
CODE:
I would be able to change the text property of the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) to the SaveFileName easily, but how would I make it so that when you click the File1 (File1ToolStripItem) it opens the Savefile file?
I would also need the program to save this list so when I open the program again they are still there.

Getfiles - Find Most Recent File In Directory?
Feb 20, 2012I'm trying to load the most recent file from a directory, but my following code doesn't work. Am i getting something obvious terribly wrong?!
Dim myFile = Directory.GetFiles("C:UsersJoeDesktopXML Logs").OrderByDescending(Function(f) f.LastWriteTime).First()
I get two error messages:
Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'Public Function OrderByDescending(Of TKey)(keySelector As System.Func(Of String, TKey)) As System.Linq.IOrderedEnumerable(Of String)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data type(s) explicitly might correct this error.
And:
'LastWriteTime' is not a member of 'String'.
How To Add Recent File History (Last 3) To Main Menu
Mar 11, 2011How to add a file history to my Main Menu. I open my windows application and select a txt file to open called "File 1". Later I open "File 2" and "File 3". I have now closed the windows application. A day later I open my windows application again. How do I view the recent files selected to my FILE menu? For example, I would expect to see "File 1", "File 2", and "File 3" under recent files. This would allow the user to easily reference the past recent files that were opened. Word and Excel have the feature and I am sure it can be done in VS2005.

Reconcile A List Of Files And A Directory With Subfolders/files To Find Changes?
Jun 3, 2010I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

View 1 RepliesDatagridview On Datarepeater Showing Only Most Recent Fill
Jun 14, 2010Is there any way to have a datagridview on a datarepeater with more than 1 row showing?
I have a datagridview on a datarepeater control. The datarepeater and the datagridview are joined on a common field in 1-to-many fashion. The form is designed so that there are 2 rows of the datarepeater visible at any one time. The datagridview is populated in the datarepeater's drawitem event The problem is that it behaves as if there is only one datagridview total rather than one datagridview per row. The drawitem event executes when you scroll to a row. Because 2 rows of the datarepeater are visible, the fill code is executed twice when the form is opened. But the second fill overrides the first one. So you've got this form with 2 different rows but the data in both datagridviews is the same but is right only for the bottom one.
Is there any way to correct this? If I made only 1 row visible, that would eliminate the wrong data. But I want to be able to show more that 1 row at a time.

Oledb - SELECT Through Oledbcommand In .net Not Picking Up Recent Changes?
Sep 28, 2009I'm using the following code to work out the next unique Order Number in an access database. ServerDB is a "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection"
Dim command As New OleDb.OleDbCommand("", serverDB)
command.CommandText = "SELECT max (ORDERNO) FROM WORKORDR"
iOrder = command.ExecuteScalar()
NewOrderNo = (iOrder + 1)
If I subsequently create a WORKORDR (using a different DB connection), the code will not pick up the new "next order number."e.g.
iFoo = NewOrderNo
CreateNewWorkOrderWithNumber(iFoo)
iFoo2 = NewOrderNo
will return the same value to both iFoo and iFoo2. If I Close and then reopen serverDB, as part of the "NewOrderNo" function, then it works. iFoo and iFoo2 will be correct. Is there any way to force a "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection" to refresh the database in this situation without closing and reopening the connection. e.g. Is there anything equivalent to serverdb.refresh or serverdb.FlushCache
How I create the order.I wondered if this could be caused by not updating my transactions after creating the order. I'm using an XSD for the order creation, and the code I use to create the record is ...
Sub CreateNewWorkOrderWithNumber(ByVal iNewOrder As Integer)
Dim OrderDS As New CNC
Dim OrderAdapter As New CNCTableAdapters.WORKORDRTableAdapter
