Store File Into Windows Application So User Can Download It?
Jan 30, 2011
I am creating a windows application using visual studio. I want somehow to insert an excel file into the application so the user will be able to download it from the program and save it to his computer. This means that the file will be a part of the program. There will be a button that will prompt the user to save the particular file somewhere so he can then view it.
What should I do in order to "embody" the excel file to the application? And what code should I write to link the file with the button?
How do we embed / attach a pdf file (100 page file) in one of our form and the users should be allowed to download the same while executing /using this tool.
Which is the best way to store application and user settings of an application running with multiple instances?My problem is that using the vb's "Application Settings" one instance would overwrite the other one.I want to identify each instance with a number passed via command line argument. I could use this number to identify the appropriate settings of the running instance, but I see in a local INI o XML file a better way to handle that.
I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Me.Close() End Sub
I'm trying to make a application with a login system. I want to store user and password information, into the application. So I can access it from my administrator account. I have tried to make a textbox for every username and password,And then save it into my.settings And then I run the finished application, it works fine to store the information. but if I copy the application after I had entered some user/pass information. All textboxes I blank on the other computer.
I want to store some information of the form in such a way that if the user quit/exit the application it stores the information. When user runs the application next time the information should be available to him. It also involve the restart of the computer. The application is in vb.net 3.5 framework. The one way that i can think of using flat files and encrypted data, but i can not do this. I do not to store any kind of data on client side and I can not store this information on server side. The problem is of getting client machine information and storing it on server.
I'm making a windows form application using vb.net and have an options page where I need to allow users to enter a few settings, these need to be stored somewhere on the machine so that they can be found again if the program closes
I am wanting to create an application that will monitor the upload/download traffic of a user. Can someone point me too some code that I can have a look at?I have found SharpPcap - A Packet Capture Framework for .NET, but cannot find any vb.net code for it.
I have found this code:
Dim Properties As IPGlobalProperties Dim StatV4 As IPGlobalStatistics Properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties StatV4 = Properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics Dim Packets As Long = StatV4.ReceivedPackets
What actually is a 'packet'? Can I calculate the download/upload from this code by maybe multiplying the recievedPackets by packet size... or something like that?
im going get ot the point i just wanta download a file from a url and have it zip to a specific user defined fileurl so here is my fake code please put in vb 2008 language. [code]
I'm using this code to download a file can I add User Agent String so protocol analyzers could have info about this download with a custom string I make.
I'm creating a CD that when inserted into a CD-Rom will AutoRun, which brings up the program starting with a splash screen, then the first window form. All this works, no problem. On the first window form I have a button (one of many) all buttons work (so far) except this one button. (I actually haven't test3d the buttonjs to see if they work on / from a CD yet, but they work in Debug).
I would like to have the user click the button, and have that button be tied to a zip file or an exe file that is in a folder on my CD, that will be downloaded to the user's computer. I would like the usual window to come up asking the user where the user would like to save the file, the user will choose the folder, click the save button and the file downloads from the CD to the hard drive of the user's computer, so the user can open it later. It doesn't have to Run from the CD, it is just to download to be accessed later.
Some files will be a Zip and others are Exe files that I would like to have downloaded to the user's PC by way of a button click. Of course the user's computer will need to be able to know which drive the CD is in.
This is what I've tried and doesn't seem to work...Have not tried it from directly from CD (Haven't tried anything directly from the CD as of yet, but after this problem my next step is try and make a AutoRun CD and test the program).
I'll start another post for How to Make my Program ready for a CD. I think it may involve Publishing...but publishing only made a setup.exe, which is Not what I want.
I have the following code that generates a csv file on a button click. [Code] What I want to do is open a download dialog box that will allow the user to open or save that file it has just created.
I have constructed a user control and I would like to be able to save a simple option (very little data) that can be loaded/saved.There could be more than one of these on a form.And if I were to write a small program for my wife, I wouldn't be sure what directory to use to store the data
I ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name: MYSERVER [URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name: downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt' server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in: "MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as: <a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"
I has a download button in my web application. When I click the button, it will search for the particular path in my local pc and get the file for the user to download. May I know is it possible to do so using vb.net for web application?
I got two issues getting my application to download a file. One small and one rather big.The downloader seems to have an issue using the users full download capability while the downloaded size is under 1 MB. As soon as it hits that, it seems to speed up with 10-100 times the previous speed.(Snippet at the end of the post)It seems to have to do with the filesize, which is about 5GB. As soon as my application hits about 1GB it completely locks up. (Without an error message, which I do have built in with a try...catch statement)I actually have to force quit the app to make it stop.It works perfectly fine with a 20MB file.I have the idea it's because of the int64's I use. But I need to use those (afaik) due to the big file size.[code]
I want to prompt users to save file instead of opening file in application. For example if user click a mp3 file link....mp3 file must not be open in win media player...instead user promoted to download that file.
im trying to download a file to the exact area of the application where ever it might be on hte computer the code im using now only downloads it to the computer and this cant work becuase all computers are diffrent
[code...]
could any one show me how that code could work but instead of to the computer but to where the application is so that who ever uses it can move there application folder where every they want and it will still work
make a application where I can store a lot of account information in a file on my computer. This is how it works so far.I have a class called "AccountInfo" with some properties such as Account Name, Password, etc... This is bound to a DataGridView via a Bindingsource. So basicaly what I'm asking, is how can I save/load all these accounts in my computer easily in a file or something?
I designed an application to download a file from the Internet onto a selected location on the local computer. This application too, has a form-building error.Debug Error Message: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm creating window application with VB.NET and flatfiles.the problem is how do i store the connection string in the app.config file that include the application.startup path?
Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again") Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.
I am having a windows application. That downloads files from server and write into the local directory. It works fine. When we try the same appliication in Windows 7. IT shows an error Access to the path denied (While writing to the local directory).
