Taking Resource And Moving It To Selected Directory?
May 19, 2011
MSDN Forums, My name is Ted and I need help with my application.So, basically it has a Textbox and two buttons. In which I created one button to FileBrowseDialog, and the other to place the resouce to the directory selected in the TextBox by the FileBrowseDialog.
Example-Not In Code: If TextBox has "C:UserDesktop" Selected (From The Browse Button), Then Press "Button Two" and moves (Resource) file to the directory and replaces the original. This Resource can be any file, for Example "D3DX9_43.dll"
In-Use:User clicks "Browse. . ." Button and browses for a directory to place the file, So for Example: "C:Program Files (x86)My App And then clicks "Place" Button and overwires the original file, Example: "myapp.dll"
Alright, I currently have a listbox being populated with a variety of files.What I'd like to do is select a file, click the add button and populate the item name into that textbox.Then, select another item, click the add button and populate that items named into an empty textbox.I can get the first textbox to populate, but once I select the second item, I can't get empty textbox to display.
Here's my current code on how I'm populating the first textbox. The commented out section was for adding those items into another listbox, which worked but I need to specify a custom order, which I was I thought adding each item to a textbox.
I've mainly been doing ASP programming up 'til now, and I have a pretty simple question.
I'm creating a program that will copy a selected file to a selected directory, and I want to store recent files/dirs so that they can be selected from a combo box. I was planning to just create a settings with "files" and "dirs", and just store the strings as | separated values (since that's an illegal file character).
At the moment the user browses for a file they want to install and then they have to save the file manually I want the program to install the file the user chose into the direcotry there selves.
i have several files that are resources in my program and i would like to be able to copy them to the users hard drive for later use for the user. I have tried everything that i can think of, i just can seem to find one that works, the code below is the closest i have gotten, but i get an error on the first part about My.resources.iPad just to let you know, ipad is an exe file.
FileCopy( My.Resources.iPad, InstallDir.Text)
The error i get says: Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'.
I have created a resource directory loaded with 10 mp3 files in it and added it to the resources tab. The problem I am having is when the program is compiled and installed, it does not add the resource directory to the hard drive. I know that resources can be added into the applications files in the publish tab but cannot seem to figure out how to get it listed or added in there.I also took each mp3 and set the build action to Embedded Resource... That didnt help much though.The resource directory i want to include in the deployement is in my bin/debug/resources in the solution explorer.
let's say that in my vb.net application i have a resource called "song.mp3", how can I make it possible, so when i press a button, it automatically saves the resource in c: directory.
I am a programmer for 6 years with VB6, now I am using VB 10 Express and working with Active Directory for the first time. I have been able to make a lot of things work with AD.I have been trying time and again to make this work. I have been googling and trying samples and keep running into one error after another, the latest is a [code] "There is no such object on the server."[code] My objective for this is to move the user account from the office OU to the Disabled OU. I have been fighting this for so long that I am going crosseyed.[code]
I have 3 buttons 2 for browse (openfiledialog) and the other for move. I also have 2 textboxs that will say the directory of the file selected. So what I want to do is make one file move to another directory in the click of the move button.
My website is in the root directory, which is [URL]. I am using this:
Dim appPath As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath Dim directory As String = appPath & "/upload/" & Left(TableName, 2) & "/"
to get the path and it's working very well. But when I create a new sub-folder and copy some pages from the root directory into the sub-folder, my images are not displayed because the path has changed. This is the link from the page in the root directory:
I have 2 datagridview and a button in winform. I want Move selected row or rows from datagridview1 to datagridview2 by button. How to move selected rows from datagridview1 to datagrideview2 by a button? (VB.net)
I have a treeview control where I am dynamically selecting a node depending on user interaction. when a node is selected I want to be able to have the scrollbar go to the location of that selected node in the tree. The scrollbar is simply made by overflow:auto in the div tag where the treeview is located. Can someone give me some detailed code to accomplish this?
I have a form with a data connection to my access database that shows my music collection, Artist,title,year,chart position, media location & filename.It is set to show only artist & title I have a list box that i can manually load files into to create a wmp playlist i would like to be able to do one or both of the following:
1. drag and drop data from my dataset to the list box to provide a playlist
2. create a playlist from this database that will auto play
First off, I am completely new to VB and have no previous programming experience. I was required to take an Intro to Visual Basic class.
As a result, I was assigned to write a program for my final project. My professor wanted us to challenge ourselves and try to design something we would use. While my fellow classmates chose damage calculators and stat calculators, I chose to write something that would move files around. It was challenging for a beginner, but i figured i would be able to find alot of help in my book and online. I'm impressed at myself that I've made it as far as I have, but I've hit a snag in the road.
The project is due friday, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the files... which is a bit of a problem.[code]....
The idea is to click Button1, for it to open a browser window, then select 1 or more files from a directory and add them to ListBox1.Currently I'm using a very basic method that adds all files from a directory to my ListBox
Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:Users") ListBox1.Items.Clear() For Each file As String In files
This is my code at the moment. I want the TextBox to show the Directory of the file. (C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktopFile)
This is my TextBox Code
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged Me.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName End Sub
This is my Button Code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() End Sub
[code] I am trying to append the name of each checked list box item selected to the end of the current directory but i am obviously doing something wrong.
I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.
Private Sub BrowseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseButton.Click If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath End If [Code].....
I am building an app. that needs some input from the user, the user will have to move a (selected textbox) by clicking a button. The TextBox will have to move 20 points down or up from corent location by clicking a button.
I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.
I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.
So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)
I'm creating a simple .NET console application where I want to save a file in a folder that's part of the root project, like so: SolutionName.ProjectNameTestData. I want to put test.xml into the TestData folder. However, when I go to save my XDocument, it saves it to SolutionName.ProjectNameinx86Debug Console est.xml.
I'm using visual studio 2008 and creating a Windows For Application.
I'm almost completed my little application and what I've discovered just recently is that any change I made is not taking affect.
What I mean is if I change the display name of a button or insert a msgbox popup, it doesnt make it to the build when I run it. There are no errorswarnings.
