View 1 RepliesI sent the application exe to a user to test and they get an unhandled exception error and the details show my personal My Documents Folder/DEBUG path from the project. So I tried to use Application.ExecutablePath but when I release that it points to "My Documents" Folder (not the debug) folder. The file to open is in the same folder as the exe is in but for some reason the error occurs because the application is not looking for the file using the path where the EXE was launched from. Here is my code that relates to the section giving my users a problem:
from the module
Public Class shrd
Public Shared ocSess As cSession

I am developing an application that will call to the current user path so that a text file can be saved. I have seen a few forum threads that call to the current user path but I have been unsuccessful in making it work. Id like to try and save a text file, lets say 'test.txt' to 'C:Users(current user)My Documents' [URL] The above link has a way of calling the current user name, but when I publish the application, all it does is call to 'C:UsersMy Documents' and ultimately does not work. I have searched multiple terms and about 20 pages deep into google each time.
View 4 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?
How would I get the current user's folder?Example:"C:Documents and SettingsOwner"
View 1 RepliesI have a Picturebox and a two Buttons on my Form. On click of one of the buttons I want to change the image in the picture box at runtime.
This works fine when I give the location of the image (the full path ) on my computer - but then of course it will not work if I use the solution on a different computer .
So I have made a folder named "Pics" inside my application and added two images into it.
How do I get to this local folder in the following code?
Picturebox1.image = system.drawing.image.fromfile (??? )
instead of the usual,
Picturebox1.image = system.drawing.image.fromfile ("C:UsersMyName My PicturesMyPicture.jpg" )
I need to find out the path to the logged in users profile folder in VB.NET.

But I am trying to get to the Personl folder of the current user in windows 7. Now there are two special folders: MyDocuments and Personal However they both lead to C:Users{USERNAME}Documents Shouldn't Personal lead to one back from that?
View 3 RepliesFor my VB.NET application, I'm using the windows installer that came with Visual Studio. I can successfully install and run my program on any computer in our office except for one. On this particular machine, my program will stall for about 30 seconds before being able to load the main form. When I start up the task manager, the CPU is hovering at about 0 to 1%, so its not really doing anything but freezing up. It will eventually load, but it really shouldnt take this long, especially when it loads instantly on other computers. Now this machine is windows xp with serverice pack 3 and .net 3.5 sp1.

I see several posts about getting the UNC of a remote drive, anyone have any ideas how I get the name of a shared directory on a local machine?
View 1 RepliesIIS7 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Development environment is VWDE 2010.
I'm setting up a simple "machine status" page to monitor a server. I want to display the Drives on the machine, including mapped network drives and show their free space, etc.
I'm using System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives() to return a collection of DriveInfo objects. I then itterate that collection to display the relevant information.
The issue I'm having is that only local drives appear. (A:, C: and D:) No mapped drives "Network Locations" appear in the collection.
I'm thinking it has to do with the user account that's executing the code (if that makes any sense). So if the code is executing under the user "ASPNET" (or whatever it is) the drives would have to be mapped under that user. As it happens, I have the server set up like a workstation and it logs in automatically under the user with the mapped drives.
What I've done:
- I have set the Web Site's Anonymous Authentication user to that same user
- I have set the Identity of the Application Pool to which my web site is assigned to be that same user.

I have a program written in VB 2008 express. It connects to an Access database via Jet4.0 OLEDB. It works fine on my computer running windows xp. It works fine on computers running Vista and Windows 7 that also have Access installed. Howerver when run on a computer with Windows 7 that does not have Access installed. The following Error Message appears whenever there is an attempt to access the database:
The 'MS JET.OLEDB 4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.Reviewing MS info, it appears that mdjet40.dll is found in XP and earlier and that syswow64.dll is found in Vista and later.What do I need to do to make my program run on all versions of Windows with or without Access installed?
I have a text file on a website that I have the direct URL address to. For example, http://www.example.com/thisFile.txt .

I currently have a part of my program that uploads an image file MainChart.png from a set location (locally) to a set remote location(on the ftp server). What I would now like to do is be able to upload more than one file at the same time.
What I am currently doing is repeating the same block of code, but changing the image file name from MainChart.png to another one of the image file names, so have about 8 instances of this block of code, Where the file name is just changed.
Does anyone know how I can do this in just one block of code, rather than the program having to keep calling another Sub and logging onto the FTP site each time for each image file that I want to upload?
Private Sub FtpMainChart()
' FTP_URL, FTP_UserName & FTP_Password, are variables that hold the FTP credentials, declared earlier in the code.

good database that I can use on a local machine to store names/addresses etc. and that integrates easily into .Net 2.0.I have used MySQL a fair bit, so something along that route would be great but without the need to install additional software on the computer or connect externally to a server.
