View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a "File Not Found" error to display if a file the program is looking for is not created.Example:
Dim ProcessProperties As New ProcessStartInfo
ProcessProperties.FileName = "filename"
ProcessProperties.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden[code].....
I also need help creating a text box, that will submit information to another source (like echoing to a command prompt window). I'm trying to add a killtask option where the user can enter the name of the tast (such as notepad.exe) and press 'Submit'. The button will then send a code (killtask -f notepad.exe) to a command prompt window.

I had the following piece of code working for the last few weeks and earlier today it seems stopped working.I have the code in a try/catchh block and in that try I create a file, "Build.bat" with code in it that will get it to do some oracle/sql wizardry
If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat") Then
Shell(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus, True)
End If
After stepping through my code I noticed that the catch is executed at the shell line, so I put it in an if statement to see if the file exists and it always comes up as true, but on the next line I still get a File not Found error.
Try
Dim BatFile As New StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat")
Dim SQLPLUS As String[co

View 3 RepliesI am reading a file from the default location. I request a file by name only using an InputBox. If the User types a file that does not exist I get an exception error. I want to be able to handle the problem by outputting to a list box that the file was not found. My Code is something like:
sr = IO.File.OpenText(fileName)
IF fileName <> "found"
Handle issue
Else
Continue Code
I want to run a check to make sure the file does exist in the default location but not sure how to get it done. I had seen the Public Shared Function FileExists but I am not quite sure how to make it work.

View 3 RepliesIn the old dos days you could combine 2 files as save to a third file:copy file1 + file2 file3. It still works in a dos shell. I did this: Shell("copy " & file1 & " + " & file2 & " " & file3)I got an error that file3 cannot be found. I know it doesn't exist I want to create it. So I created a bat file:copy %1 + %2 %3 and called it as such:Shell("ccopy " & file1 & " " & file2 & " " & file3). I still get the error that file3 cannot be found. First I don't see how it can tell from the shell that file3 is a file. How do I do this otherwise? Do I have to create a blank file before calling it?
View 8 RepliesI have added bat_fix_w7.reg as a resource file, with binary type, now when i run the code it gives me err System cannot found the file specified, but when i checked my F: drive the file is there than why 2 line is generating err.

I have a program that looks for a file named 'license.dat' upon startup. The program first checks the directory it's in, and if the license file isn't there, it prompts the user to select the license file with a file browser dialog. I have tested this code and confirmed it working in a number of different OS environments.Recently, I received reports from two users (one in Germany and one in Italy) that the program can't find the license on their computers, even though it is present in the program's directory and they manually selected it with the file browser dialog. The only commonality I'm seeing here is a lack of English OS, but beyond that I'm stumped.This is the code I'm using:
If System.IO.File.Exists(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "license.dat") = False Then
File dialog code goes here

I am unable to debug any projects as of a Windows Update 2 days ago. It not only caused problems with VS 2008 but also SQL Server 2008. I did a system restore and my SQL Server is back to normal, but VS 2008 will not debug any projects. I get a vshost.exe has stopped working and then a file exception error. I am copying the file exception msg:System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled

I am using Process.Start to run a command line application. The log for the app is automatically saved in a predefined location that I can not change. Also, I can not specify the name of the log.I need the log to go to a specific directory and the be renamed. I thought I could do it this way:[code]When I run the code, it tells me that it can't fin the file "Test2.txt". When I isolate the code and only run the first part, it moves the file to the second directory just fine. It only errors on the RenameFile line.
View 9 RepliesI have built this utility to upload/download files to an FTP server with a few options which will be taken from a command line. One of the options is going to be rename file. But this would be done on the remote side.
Basically, only tmp files will not be caught has hazardous on this FTP site during upload. So the file gets uploaded as tmp and will need to be renamed to .zip and vise-versa.
I know how to do this locally as it is not hard to use the moveto function, but how would I do this assuming, the ftp stream is already opened and read/write access is properly granted?

I develop a web browser. It has a settings feature where you can change the homepage and some other options and it has bookmarks. Well, if you rename the file, then all of these settings are erased and reset to the defaults. How can I make this where all these settings are included no matter if moving, renaming, etc.?

I am trying to run a fortran .exe in VB with the Shell() command. The fortran .exe, when ran, it asks you for a file name. It works perfectly on it's own, but when I try calling it through VB Shell(), it does not work.. (i.e. I cannot get VB to get the file name in it.)
Added info:I am using VB9 but I'm writing in compatibility to .NET. As for the Fortran .exe, when you call it, it opens a command window where it asks for a file name (which I got as a string in VB and I'm trying to pass it in), then you press Enter and it's done. Basically the .exe takes a text file and creates a new text file. We've also tried adding & mystring when calling the exe, but it gives a "file not found" error.
I am once more stuck:There are 2 PictureBoxes on my Form. They get the image from the Application's StartUpPath, "1.jpg" for PictureBox1 and "2.jpg" for PictureBox2. All the dragging and dropping works fine. What I still need is a bit of code change that will allow me to rename the original files:
"1.jpg" -> "2.jpg"
"2.jpg" -> "1.jpg"

I'm trying to do the most simplest of things... open a text file. Not System.IO, just plain open a text file like you would double click it in widows.I have no problems executing other exe files with the Shell command but when I try:
Code:'...some code
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then Shell(FILE_NAME)
'some code...
I get "file not found"...
But if I do:
Code:'...some code
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then MsgBox("File Exists") Else MsgBox("File Does Not Exist") End If
'some code...
the message that pops up is "File Exists"!I also checked the FILE_NAME in a msgbox and the file path is correct.What could be wrong?
