If I create a save a text file, how do I get my application to save it into the end users directory?
Ive current got this which saves into my user area.
file = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("C:Users#####FruitFruit.txt", False)
how to save the users radio buttons choices to load into a file. I have a button which controls the If statements to determine the price of the configuration. I was wanting to save these choices that the user made. I thought I could do this by altering the If statements but I don't know if thats the right way. I've got 3 different groupboxes with 3 options in each.
Heres a part of the code for the IF statements:
Private Sub UpdateConfig_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UpdateConfig.Click
If Choice1Option1.Checked = True And Choice2Option1.Checked = True And Choice3Option1.Checked = True Then
PriceShow.Text = Prices(0, 1)
TextBoxProcessor.Text = Choice1Option1.Text
[code]....
I'm currently writing a program that needs to open a file specified by the user, replace a certain string of text with a different string of text, and save it to the user-specified path. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub forceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles forceButton.Click
Dim writer As New IO.StreamWriter(OpenChart1.FileName)
Replace("", "E *", "N 5 0")
End Sub
Currently the reports are saved as a html file called report1.html, id like to make the user enter a name for the HTML file upon clicking submit.
A little stuck on how to make the filename for the HTML file save to a input entered by the user.
I currently have:
Try
'Open new HTML file to be written
WriteHtml = New StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "ListHardware.html")
If Not (WriteHtml Is Nothing) Then ' Is the File Open

I am trying to make a program that allows me to operate a program while I am not around (kind of like a bot) because I need to move alot of things and do the same motion over and over.
So in my program's settings I have made a form that is transparent that I want to set my working area with (i wont be resizing the form, it's size is "975, 575") and save the forms Top, Left, Bottom, Right positions so I can create a macro for my mouse to click.
how to save a forms position on the screen? So I can use it to set a working area?
I just want to save its current location to 4 variables
This is my first attempt at creating a Winforms application, and I have been developing in the .Net Framework (Silverlight, ASP.Net, WPF) for about 6 months. So, my appologies if this is a newbie question.
Basically what I am doing right now is taking the drawings of a stylus-based input, and storing them into an image field in a SQL Server database. Then, in another form, I go and get that image out of the database, and load it into a picture box. It works, but it is rather "sloppy" how it got there.When the user clicks save, it stores that image into a temporary folder, then converts it to a byte array and throws it into the database that way. Then, it deletes the file from the temporary folder. When retrieving it, it pulls it out of the database in a byte array, then converts it to an image in a temporary folder, thus displaying it on the form.
Is there a way that I can just bypass the storing of the file onto the user's harddrive both times, and go from byte array to picturebox?
So I am working on a small program that will tell the engineers the status of their testers; whether they are up or down with the time and date in addition there is also a comment box. I have created a program that has all the right buttons and options. Where I am stuck is on the save option. I want the engineers to be able to make changes to the status/date/comments and by clicking the save button to save all changes(in the status and date boxes) and text(in the comment box) so that when the program is opened at a later time or by another user on the network from a diffrent work station the latest changes from whomever will be present. The code that follows only allows the changes to be seen by on that specific computer and they are not shared to everyone who uses the program that accesses it over the network. Any help would be awsome!! Hope this is clear!
How can I get it so everyone sees all changes over the network regardless of the computer they are using? any help would be amazing!!

[code]...But, when someone else runs it their user name won't be the same as mine, so only people with the account name ADAM would be able to run successfully Is there a code so instead of me putting adam there is a code that will choose the user that the program is being run by?

But instead of taking a picture of the whole screen, I want to just take a picture of an area the user chose. When the user presses the start point, I would like to have a rectangle drawn to the place where the user presses the end point. And then take the picture.
how do I adapt the my application area to the user's monitor resolution?I have created a winForms application on 1280*768 resolution monitor and the application is generally used on smaller laptops (10inches). Now I need to a scrollbar on my entire application so that the spacing remains the same as I have designed. For this, there has to be a scrollbar (Both Horizontal and Vertical) on the application.
View 1 RepliesI have a custom control with an event handler when you click on it. Everything works and the event get fired right.
AddHandler (cu.MouseLeftButtonDown), AddressOf Me.DoSomething
When the control resizes to show some extra information it expands. It also collapses when the user preses a button. This works alright. But now when I click where the expanded area used to be, it still fires mouse leftbuttondown on that control. I have tried to set IsHitTestVisible to false on the expanded element but it diden't work. Here's some xaml...
<UserControl x:Class="MyCustomControl">
<StackPanel>
<Grid>
[code]....
I cant use another element around my customcontrol since I also use this MouseLeftButtonDown on all different kind of controls.
I can't figure out how the boundaries on the cu.MouseLeftButtonDown event work to fix this.
how to stop a ComboBox from displaying blank data?
The query I'm using does not allow nulls but the ComboBox is showing black areas and the user can click in those areas.
The PureComponents ComboBox did not show the blank areas but when I started to use the ComboBox from VS 2008 the blank areas are showing up.
The attachment shows me clicking in a blank area.
I am trying to implement a controlling design logic that prompts the user for a length and the area to calculate until he or she enters a number less than zero in the length to end.So far I have it where I believe it�s doing the calculations but it�s not ending when I input a number less than zero or zero.

Currently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
[Code]...
Trying to set the viewable area to a smaller screen area and have it cycle through as the person moves using collision detection to move the backgroudn image. Here is the start but its off to a bad start so far.
Public Class Form1
Dim Mapx As Integer = 600
Dim Mapy As Integer = 2000
[code]....
Basically the forum size is set to 600x2000 but the client should only allow you to view 600x600. I want it to add +1 once you "collide with a invisable box I'll add and this will redraw the screen.
I designed a form and managed to fit graphics inside it. Picture box is 465 pixels high. Form1 is 500 pixels high. SnapShot of the screen verifies that the 500 pixel height is the overal height. It includes the upper Bar and lower frame. Is there an instruction to set the From's inner pixel size and not overal?

View 1 RepliesFor my user system, I require each user to have a unique id. The reading in and saving of the user data is all done, but now I'm focusing on adding new users. In my add user dialog, I have the information fields required to create a new user, one of which is the ID (which must be unique). For this I have created a function that I thought would always give a unique id but it does not. paste the code below:

I've got a website and we just had a huge jump in traffic. Now all of the sudden we're getting sql parameter errors left and right. We switched to a new sql server a few weeks ago and everything has been fine but the added traffic seems to be breaking us.I have a data access class that is called when each user trys to logon. It runs through several tasks before finally updating the users last login date and forwarding them to the administration section.
What I'm seeing from the trace logs suggests that when I'm logging in the first several tasks are using my data (lets say user=birk pass=word). But at some point the accessor class starts sending over the data from someone else who's trying to login (lets say user=abcxyz).Every connection we make to the server is closed when we're finished with it. I'm nulling out all of the accessor objects when I'm finished with them. But somehow different user data from different sessions are making their way into other peoples instances of the object.
I'm not using session/application/cache/viewstate to store the objects so I'm not really seeing how they could edit eachother... Its just really weird and I'm not sure how to even go about researching the problem.This is roughly the accessor class... I trimmed out some of the parts that weren't reliant to the issue

I'm working on a web application that stores some Office document (and any other kind of doc) on a remote shared area. I need to allow user to view the files available on shared area using my web application, how can I do that? Some years ago I solved this issue with Java / JSP opening into an output streaming the file, how can I do the same with ASP.NET and VB.NET?
This is how I organized my application:
C:Webapp -> Webapplication
emoteserversharedfolder -> shared area
The owner of IIS process is the only user that can write / read the shared area.
The projects program is designed to open files output by another program, allow the user to edit the files content, then send the file to a specific bookmark within a word template. Unfortunately most of the output files by the 'other program' are html format.Question Is there a way to strip out HTML from the file when it has opened in my text area within the program? I found one or two online guides but haven't managed to get them working.
View 4 RepliesMake a folder, based on an input file - example :
You have a file named Movie1.avi on your desktop, u open up the program (that I want to make) and then simply drag drop that file into a box area, and then the program will create a folder, with the same name as the input file, but without the extension (folder name Movie1) and then automatically put that file into the folder it just created.
The new folder will be created in the same dir as the input file.
Multiple file support - is NOT needed.
I know how it will be done, but I don't know the code..
I created an application that when a user logs onto their Windows account, a Form is displayed outlining the current Computer Usage policy set by the insitution and gives the user two options either Agree or Dis-Agree. The two options are in the form of buttons, with events that depending on what the user clicked, will create a log text file at a specified location, with enteries of Date,Time,CurrentUser, and if they agreed or disagreed. If they agreed the application after creating/amending the file will then terminate, otherwise it will update the file and then force Windows to logoff the current user.
Now I made a shortcut of the .exe of the application and placed it in the startup for all users, and yes the application loads at startup for all the users following the procedures mentioned above. The problem I am facing is, that if the current user logs off, or is forced to log off, and another user logs onto Windows, goes through the whole ordeal mentioned above, the application is denied access to the logfile that was created under the previous user, and thus crashes.
So my question is, how can I created a text file using vb 2008 application, that is accessible by multiple Windows users. I have even tried changing the location of the created file to the shared folder, but the end result is the same.
