Remembering A Path To A Folder?
Aug 14, 2011
How can I get my app. to remember a path to an folder that has been enterd into a TextBox?
on Form1 there is a SettingsButton, clicking it opens a SettingsDialog, on the Dialog I have a TextBox.
Dubble bclicking on the Dialog opens a FolderBrowserDialog, in that Dialog I select D:My DocumentsTest Pics or enny other folder by clicking on OK that path is desplayed in the TextBox.
If the SettingsDialog is closed or the app. is closeed the contens of the TextBox is lost.

I have the following windows service file:
Imports System.ServiceProcess
Imports System.IO
Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).

If I have a file path like "C:My DocumentsImagesImage1.png", how can I get the parent folder name of the "Image1.png" file? In this case, "Images", but that's just a sample. I've looked through System.IO.Path and there doesn't seem to be anything there.

This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?

I was googling / searching the forums for this type of code.I want to be able create a folder within my application folder, mainly because I don't want people using my program to use a specified path to be able to use my program.
Example,If I would using a specified path It would be ("C:/Macbrutal/Foldername")And the user who would install my application surely, doesn't have macbrutal as username for windows so their path would be ("C:/User/Foldername") and that would bring my program an error, if you get me.
So to brake it down a little, Let's say my path for my program is ("C:/Macbrutal") I want my program to generate a folder where my application is located (not with specified path) which would be (C:/Macbrutal/newfolder")

How does the exe app know where to look for its Resources folder? In the development folders of my app it is in one place relative to the GetCurrentDirectory, but in a different set of run-time folders, the relative path is different.
Is there a My.Resources property (or some other property) which knows where this folder is? System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory tells the app where it is, is there a 'System.IO.Directory.GetResourcesDirectory' (except of course I know there isn't)?
I want the user to be able to copy image files from wherever into the Resources folder without the user having to look for it (the Resources folder) themselves. I can do the OpenFileDialog1 bit myself, I just need to know where to place the chosen file.

I have a problem with the following snippet: (working on Visual Studio 2008, Net-Framwork 3.5, all Service-packs) Vb.Net.
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(cc + TmpName + cc, cc + OnlyName + cc)
Cc equals to Chr(34)
or also
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(TmpName,OnlyName )
The Problem occurs if in one of the Strings the Character ";" is embedded. Don't ask me why this Char is in the Filename - it is. An "Illegal Character in Path" exception occurs.
