Stripping Contact Info From DOC File And Inserting Into Outlook
Jun 16, 2011
I'm essentially re-learning VB for the first time in 15 years to try and accomplish this task - I have a project to do for work which involves taking .doc files which contain hundreds and hundreds of names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and amounts they donated to the non-profit I work at, and inserting them into Outlook's contacts. I'm trying to piece together the bit I've figured out about Outlook/VB integration to do so, but unfortunately, most of the information I can find is the other way around - getting info FROM Outlook and inserting it elsewhere.
The doc file is essentially formatted like this:
FirstName LastName
423815 Central Park West
FirstNameLastName@Somthing.com
$3000.00
And repeat.
So for the email addresses, I obviously need to look for the @ and copy from the previous space or line break to the next - that's the theoretically easy part, along with the money donated, since I can similarly look for the $. The part that I forsee stumping me is, how to discern first and last name, and treat them accordingly, entering them into the right fields in Outlook? Same with the address.
I was wondering if someone knows how to save/add a new contact man (name and Email address) to outlook? I tried this code but I got a warning and it is not working.
Our CRM 2011 database contains approx. 20000 contacts, and I need to loop through all of them using the SDK. Currently I'm finding the following linq query takes a very long time to execute:
I need to be able to get the current users LAN id using VB.NET and then use this info to pull out the phone number and full name and perhaps other dept info from the address book in outlook. The application I am building is web based in VS 2008, and the users will access the site once they have logged into the companies network. So I need to obtain their LAN ID. They will then be able to send an email using the smtp client. I need the email to send the lan ID of the person as well as include the address book info in the subject. how to use the smtp client.
I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.
I am working on a media player, and I would like to setup a local playlist feature. I am using a single ListBox and its "Display-" and "Value-Member" properties. The display is the song's Artist and Name, and the value is the song's file path (i.e 'C:UsersUSERMusicetc.').To write the file path to the .txt file, I believe I can use the following code:[code]
I am making a program, obviously, and I require some assistance. I found an explanation on how to read information from a Text file and have modified it for my needs. Here is my (modded) version:
Public Function GetInfo(ByVal playlistname As String) As String On Error Resume Next Dim PlaylistInfo As String
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop Public Class Form1 Public Sub SaveAttachments() Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
[code]....
This is my code. When i am tryng to run it in my VB editior i got the errors
1.Outlook.Application, Outlook.MailItem,Outlook.Attachments,not definedWarnings as Warning1Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Microsoft.Office.Interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found.

So, I'm currently working on sending and receiving data via a serial port. In order to use readline, I need to send vbCrLf, which is fine. I'm trying to get it to display just the characters sent and not the additional characters like Cr and Lf. Here's the most basic part of my
SerialPort1.Write(HexSendBox.Text & vbCrLf) ReceiveBox.Items.Add("Received: " & SerialPort1.ReadLine()) The data I will receive in the ReceiveBox if I seng 'GG' is:
I am currently working on a project in where when a Coordinators ID is selected from a combo box, I need to strip an XML file and place the subject code and name in a list box. ("code" - "Name" - "Department number"). The xml file is written as follows. The main problem I am having is the fact the coordinatorsID is after the subect code, I have never dealt with this before.
I'm trying to reduce as much as I can my VB.Net assembly side, and I just figured out that all variable names were kept unchanged in the actual assembly. Since I tend to use pretty long var names, it adds up and, by running dotfuscator on my assembly, I could shrink it by as much as 10%.
I need to find next highest no in a field that is a stick ref it has chars at front and 0 padded How so I strip off front chars and 0's to get actual highest no number in the table field?Am using LINQ against entity framework?
I'm writing a small program that loads a folders contained file names into a list box, you then double click one of the file names listed and it appears within the programs text area where the user may freely edit it. I then have given the users options to export the data contained within the text box to a word template. What I'd like to do is add a button which the user can click in order to strip away all the html within the text areas content. I found a solution but for some reason I can't make it work. There are no errors displaying nor does the program crash out, it simply isn't doing what it should be doing.
The function I'm using is below: Function stripHTML(ByVal strHTML) 'Strips the HTML tags from strHTML using split and join 'Ensure that strHTML contains something If len(strHTML) = 0 Then stripHTML = strHTML [Code] .....
I've used the below snippet in an attempt to put the function to work in the text box. Private Sub btnHTMLstrip_click() ' calls function stripHTML, applies to text box richTxtBox.Text = stripHTML(richTxtBox.Text) End Sub So, its not working as it should?
I have written a code in VB.NET using "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to create an appointment, task or contact in Outlook. Now the problem is once i create an appointment, task or contact from my VB.NET code and then if i open these item in outlook and modifies and save the content (like body of an appointment) then the lastmodification time of these item doesn't gets modified. It always shows the previous lastmodification time. This happens only for those item which got created from my VB.NET code.
I have tried realsing the COM object in my VB.NET Code.
If i use this code to send an e-mail with outlook (2010) from my vb.net app (2008):
Dim app As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application Dim appNameSpace As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace Dim memo As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem app = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application

I get an error. It's work fine, when outlook is not running.
I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?
I'm using the SaveFileDialog to save listbox info into a text file. The files save fine, but when you go to save the file, if you hit the cancel button, it will overwrite the previous file you saved, because it's name was the same and it seems to save the previous file as the new name for your next file. Is there any way to catch if the user clicks cancel, and then exiting the sub if they did?
i am very new to VB. I am working on file operation such as show files, copy file, delete file, show current directory, rename folder, make folder. My problem right now is with delete and copy file. I have a method of delete and copy but i dont know how to pass this method on a button.
I'm trying to do some simple XML manipulation by searching one XML file for a set of nodes and inserting them into another XML file at a specific location.I'm able to succesfully create a node list from one of the files using the following xpath statement [code].....
I'm struggling to see how I can easily select any node I want within the first XML file but the second file refuses to play ball! I've attached the second XML file should anyone wish to check that I've interpreted the structure correctly.
I'm trying to convert an outlook 2007 add in to an outlook 2010 add in, but I'm running into some problems. One such example is finding the 2010/.net 4.0 replacement for:
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've been able to find a lot of examples for C#, however I'm not any where near proficient enough to write what I need to in C# What I need to do is access the pst file and read the new messages that are being received.I'll worry about the rest later, for now if someone can point me in the right direction
Im brand new to programming. Apart from doing a few digital dashboards in excel i have zero experience with vb or creating code. You may need to be patient.What i am trying to do is from my form, browse to a pic in a folder and insert it into a picture box in the program. the pic should insert itself into the program after it has been selected, and the picture should resize itself to fit the pic box (or viceversa if need be)
I have looked at some similar threads on this issue but none of the code in those solutions is working for me.
I've been using VB.NET for a few years now, but I never really got into binary files. How do you add onto binary files from the beginning? Here is some example code:
Dim writer As New IO.BinaryWriter(IO.File.Open("C:\Users\Dameon\Desktop\newbin.bin", IO.FileMode.CreateNew)) writer.Write("HELLO WORLD!")
[Code]....
How can I add onto the beginning of the file without overwriting what's already there? I'm trying to make my own file archive format. I have the compressing/decompressing down, but now I'm implementing adding/deleting a file after the archive already made.
