Set File Search Path On Conditional
Apr 12, 2012
First I should say that I have just started to use .net and have made some good headway with my first project. However, I have come to a bit of a block. I need to set the path where files will be searched for based on whether a radio button is checked or not i.e radio button 1 is checked = path is c:apple, radio button 2 is checked = path is c:anana. I am using this little bit of code I found to search for the files and it all works fine until I try and put the Dim path as String part inside a conditional and set it as Dim path As String = ("c:anana").

I am very new to VB and was thrown into the water with a very big project done in VB.What I am trying to do is this:1. The initial search is for locations within an area of 200 miles.2. If no locations are returned search for locations within 500 miles.Seems easy enough but I cannot seem to figure out how to do part two.If thunder.apps.ddr.franchiseconnect.bll.Current.Settings.Location.hasValue Then'we run this procedure to get the location's value from ZIP db for lat, long assignment

I need to obtain the full path for a file located in somewhere in the system search path for executable files, when I only have the file name. Another user came up with the following code. However I was hoping to find something that is more directly supplied by the system, rather than a "roll your own" solution such as this one. Also, the solution below could run into problems, however unlikely, because it is possible for Windows file and folder names to contain semicolons. The split function doesn't pay any attention to quotes, and could therefore improperly split a path that includes a folder name with an embedded semicolon.
Private paths() As String = Split(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH"), ";")
Private messageOutput As String
Private fileInPath as String = "notepad.exe" ' for example[code]....

How can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.

I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]

I reference several 3rd party libraries in my application. I want to put all of these libraries in a folder that is different than where the executable file for my application is located. I would also like to put all of the libraries that are required by the 3rd party libraries (but not referenced by my application) in this same folder.
I need to be able to put the application (and the referenced libraries) on a thumb drive and run the application from any computer without any installation or registering of components. This condition is satisfied if I put all of the required libraries in the same folder as the executable.
For example, if my application is located at E:MyApp then I would like to store all of the 3rd party libraries in the folder E:MyAppDlls. Any way to store all (or at least some) of the libraries in a separate folder?

I'm in need of a simple database for a program I'm writing...First, here's some info on what I want to do, so you can even tell me if a database is what I would need to accomplish it.It needs to have a single table, with two columns.First column will hold only 8 digit HEX codes (can be stored in a string if need be) - every entry will be unique Second column will hold a file path I need to be able to search for the path from the HEX code.I was able to create and link to an SQL Server Express DB in VB by using this tutorial: [URL]But that just create's and links the database, without telling me the code on how to manipulate it.

I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.

I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.

Is there a better way of finding the path of a file that was opened with the open file dialogue? This is what I did. It works, but it seems like there should be a way to get the path through one of the open dialogue options.

'm_PicSource is a global var
Dim strCnt As Integer = m_PicSource.Length - 1

I'm working on a personal project and so far everything is going perfect. Almost. I have a problem with getting music file info based off of its file path. I.e. "
C:UsersUSERetc." The only things I would need from y'all would be how to get the song's Artist(s) and Name (maybe there's something similar to 'AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.getitemInfo("Information")' without actually having to play the song?
After I get this information, I would like to know how to add it to a ListBox as this: "[Artist] - [Song Name]", but I can do the text part if I know the getting-the-information part and adding-the-info-to-listbox part.

I have existing file named myapp.exe.config . What I would like to do is have a little app where user could specify path to app database. I know how to get file path but I dont know how to change existing line in myapp.exe.config file. No changes during runtime. Just simple app to change string in app.config file. I would like to enable user to select path to database and store that path in app.config file. Line which I would to change has a string "|DataDirectory|mydatabase.accdb" and i would like to change it with for ex. "C:Myappmydatabase.accdb" ( if it is selected file's path).
