Im trying to delete a file on closing a form, but am unable, as the file is still in use.
Private Sub Main_Unload(ByVal Cancel As Integer)
If System.IO.File.Exists("Mydll.dll") = True Then
System.IO.File.Delete("Mydll.dll")
End If
Is there a way to unload this dll file or force a delete as the file is no longer needed when the program is closed.
Private Sub Form1_Unload(ByVal Cancel As Integer)
If System.IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath() + " empfile.tmp") = True Then
System.IO.File.Delete(Application.StartupPath() + " empfile.tmp")
End If
End Sub
I use this code but it doesn't work. I want to delete a file when I click on X or when close the application.
how can I forcefully delete the Temporary Internet Files?
View 3 RepliesBackground: I am creating PDF with PrinceXML.I want to adjust the tracking on a paragraph in the PDF. So I select a unique piece of text, match it in the starting document, add a tracking attribute to the text, and re-create the PDF using PrinceXML.I have to delete the current PDF in order to create the revised PDF.When I was using the AxAcroPDF1 control in VB.NET all I needed to do was
1) If File.Exists(sPDFoutputName) Then File.Delete(sPDFoutputName)
Now I am trying to do the same thing but instead of using the AxAcroPDF control I am trying to do it with WebBrowser [Why am I doing this? Adobe places a burden on the developer to maintain a list of who has the program (Reader) to comply with US export law. This is an unacceptable requirement for the program.]
2)WebBrowser1.Navigate(sPDFoutputName + "#" + sPDFargument)
I want to jump to the same page that I was on so set the page to open in the sPDFarguement variable.Now when my program tries to delete as in #1 above I get error message that file is locked/in use.Question: How do I unload/close/unlock file in the webbrowser so I can delete it?The closest idea that I have found that almost works is to copy the xxxPDF to another file: displayPDF and only display the latter.With this I can delete and recreate a new xxxPDF. The problem again hits me when I try to delete the displayPDF. I have also tried to navigate to a dummyPDF but still displayPDF remains locked.

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

View 2 RepliesNow I have a sub to validate a bunch of textboxes and combo boxes.I previously used many IF statements to validate and pop up different messageboxes and Exit Sub in every IF statement.But I heard that too many Exits will decrease the efficiency and they were not recommended to use. Instead, nested IF is better because it will let the process naturally go to the end.Then I found out that if I use nested IF,it will be hard to read, since messageboxes are all separated from conditions.

I have a form that I use to get the user to input such as a username and password in order to make a network connection. This connection can be disconnected and reconnected as many times as neccessary whilst the application continues to run.
I obviously, therefore, need the form's text boxes, combo boxes etc to reset to their blank versions every time that the form is shown.
In VB6 this was easy; you just unload the form which completely removed the form from memory and thus the next time you showed it it was reset to it's blank state. In VB 2005, however, there is no unload so we have to use Close. I have done this and assumed that it would function in the same was that unload did in VB6.
The problem is that when I close the form using the form.close event handler the form disappears perfectly but when the form.show/showdialog is used the old form data still remains telling me that the form hasn't actually been unloaded but rather appears to have just been hidden.

I have a button that I am trying to only allow specific people to see. So I need to unload it or hide it if they aren't the correct person or have the requirements. When I try to use btnUpdate.hide() in my else it will first allow someone to click on the button and use it then it will hide it. It's not hiding the button right away. Thats what lead me to think that maybe i am suppose to unload it some how if its not the correct user or users.
How do i unload a button if its not the correct users.
Me.Close()

I am calling a Fortran DLL from Vb.Net. I am declaring this in the class and then I am calling the DLL. I made this Fortran DLL from a Fortran Exe code. If I just use the exe code of the Fortran program I get different values than if I use Fortran DLL. First I thought may be there is a delay, so I used Sleep() before the end of the loop. But this does not change the values I am getting. I don;t understand why the results are different in exe and DLL, since I made DLL using the same exe code. I am not sure if the DLL is completely exited before it called again. Below is the code (partial).
