A group of senior Computer Science students here has a problem with their thesis which is about securing a folder/file, that is, the only allowed person to access (read,modify,delete) the file is the one who is currently log-in to (I supposed) the program they will make.

View 1 RepliesBasically I am trying to enable the user the ability to select a folder and the folders music files populate a list box. I want two list boxes on the page, one with all the contents of the folder and then the other one for files selected from the first box. I have no clue on how to do this at all...

View 16 RepliesIn my application, user can select a folder via folder browser dialog box.
However, I want them the freedom to type folder name manually as well.
When they select folder path via folder browser dialog box, everything runs fine.
However, VB is not accepting user typed folder path eg. "C:Appjob"
How can I allow the user to create a new folder and tell it where to be saved? I was thinking of using the savedialog but I don't know how to use it for folders instead of files.
View 3 RepliesI have a sub in my app that creates a folder called logs. I'd like to ask the user where they want to create the folder (explorer?) maybe even let them name it whatever they want. Also there will be text files created in that folder, so they will have to be saved in whatever folder the user creates.
Here's the sub.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnServerDiagnostics.Click
Using p1 As New Process
p1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p1.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True

View 9 RepliesI have am Explorer form and I want to be able to use a treeviewNode and all of its contents to create a windows folder structure.Each Treeviewnodes would be used to create a folder.
The problem I have is that I am using a SaveFileDialog Form to allow the user to specify where the Folder structure should be created and it only accepts a file as input or end point.
How can I get the SaveFileDialog form to accept a folder, e.g the desktop, without specifying a document in the folder?
I'm making a little application in visual studio which loads a ROM in an emulator. I have two emulators and 20 ROMs.I made a form and added a few buttons. When you click the Button it opens a new form and closes the old one. Then on the new form I have four buttons: each one loads a different ROM in an emulator. So when you press Button1 this code is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles yellow.Click
Shell("C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesEmulatorVBAVisualBoyAdvance.exe ""C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesRomsYellowPokemon Yellow.gb""", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
It works fine - I click it and it loads the game in the emulator. The bit im having trouble with is the file paths. If I send this application to a friend, it would still look for "C:UsersshiftyDesktop" - but that's on my computer, not his.Is there a way to make the application look for the file on his computer (without changing the file path to (C:Users""his user name""Desktop))
I'm looking for a windows "special folder" where user data can be stored and changed PC wide, not only per user.Up to now I've picked the so called COMMONAPPDATAFOLDER, but that doesn't work with a setup project, because the files copied there on installation (like a config file) are not changeable in Vista with a program used by a restricted user (probably because the Windows Installer performs with admin credencials).
View 2 RepliesI've been searching for a while, but it seems that I can't find an easy way to get the current user profile folder. I've tried "%userprofile%" environment variable, but it didn't worked (or I'm doing something wrong).How can I do it? I want to add the value to an string variable.
I actually tried something like: Dim Userfolder As String = %UserProfile%
I tried with quote marks too, but none seems to do the trick.What I'm missing?
I need to find out the path to the logged in users profile folder in VB.NET.
I know there is one to get the AppData folder but I need only the profile path becuase there is a file I need to read in the root of the profile folder.

Double click your button and add in the

This sets your textbox1.text to what ever folder is selected. After that you can do whatever you want with your selected folder. This is how it will work when you are done: [URL]

but this also did not take the user to the contents of Sample Pictures folder (i.e,the pictures present in that folder) when he clicks the button.
