at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.
I am having trouble with this code. Can someone tell me why the "Project Processing' section doesn't run at all? The 'Client Processing' section runs and executes find but it seems the 'Project Processing' section does not.[code]

View 1 RepliesI have a db, and one of the columns in my db is an attachment column. It stores the link to a pdf document. I want the user to be able to browse through folders and select the proper pdf file. And when the user finally hits the submit button on the form my algorithm should put the necessary link into my db. I'm just not sure how to do this with regard to VB searching and finding the file, and then using my SQL statement to insert the attachment into my db.
Here is my code so far.

I think it should be something related with "Local Security Policy".

View 1 RepliesI have seen lots of examples with a treeview to list folders then display the folders context in a listview.
But what id like is a checked treeview, that not only displays the folder list, but the actually folder contents as well.
I have a program that allows a user to select a program to run at a certain time for a specific amount of time all choosen by the user. Everything works with the exception of if my program has launched the other program, my program become non-responsive. Meaning I am not able to look at that window again. Not that one really needs too, because when time is up my program closes the program it opened, then closes itself. I just want to be able to see my program when the other program is running. how to do this and perhaps drop me some links, that would be wonderful. This is what I have coded, but like I stated there are no code errors.

Is there anyway to change the default appdata program folder?
i have a class to serialize my settings, and i just want to save them to:
appdata/roaming/[programname]/settings.xml
but when i use the filesystem.specialdirectories.currentuserappdata(something like that) it give me appdata/roaming/[company]/[programName]/[Version]/
i don't want any of that extra stuff, especially since new versions won't be able to access the old settings.
I am trying to access the "AppData" of a user on a remote computer. I have all the rights needed. I tried this:
r = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.Users, MachineName)
r.OpenSubKey(SIDValue & "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders")
AppData = r.GetValue("AppData")
The fact is that it retrieves my own appdata folder...Actually the SID Value of the account on the distant computer and on mine is the same (I am under a domain). I don't know if it is the reason why I get my own appdata folder.How should I proceed?When I browse the HKEY_Local_Machine, I manage to have information about the remote computer..But not when browsing HKEY_USERS.
I have an xml file I parse to get a path to some other xml files that I then want to parse and read values from. I am fine to get the path from the first xml document and fine to parse the subsequent documents.Where I am struggling is implementing the path. It is being stored using system level variables like:
%appdata%my_appconfig
When I try open the file like this:
xmlConfig.Load(userConfigFile)
It tries to start in the application working directory - assume c:emp So the error message I get is:
Could not find a part of the path 'C:emp\%appdata%my_appconfighive.machine.xml'.
Is there a way I can use this pathing structure in my VB code or determine the actual fully qualified path programatically?
how do I do this properly:
vb
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I would like to store some app data in a 'default system folder', so when I launch the program it will know where to look for it's own settings.As a matter of fact I only need to store there a path to the files used by the program. Users will be able to choose where to put them (simplified installation). The program has to know where to look for them.
Am I creating the folder properly? As you can see I'm referring to C:... The folder structure presented here comes from my laptop running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the C:... can be somehow defined by some sort of a system 'shortcut'. Following the above example the program would look for those in C:... , but maybe I can use something like ~~ default.app.settings.My Program Name ~~~. How does it work? Have no idea how to call it properly, but I'm sure you will know what I mean.
My application (vb.net) sometimes throws an "access denied" exception when attempting to delete files in the AppData folder and I'm not sure why.I confirm that the file exists before attempting to delete it and have not done anything to make it readonly, etcThe interesting thing is that it seems to go okay when I'm logged in with Admin rights

View 4 RepliesI need to be able to add a user's code to the end of the url of each page they go to. I am a user, go to my site and type in my user code - which is NOT a login. There is no password, in theory there will be a box or some type of control that will allow a user to enter their code in. This control will then add that user's code to the end of each URL for every page in the site and will also auto-populate all of the products in our database that are tied to that code. The user is like a business or affiliate marketer. We need that code at the end of each URL that way when he sends his clients emails with links in them for purchasing, the client will click the link, and that marketer will get credit for the sale(s).
I was told to use this code:
<ul id="p7menubar">
<li><a href="<% =GetIB("[URL]") %>">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="trigger">Lookup</a><ul>
<li><a href="<% =GetIB("Default.aspx") %>">Product</a></li>
<li><a href="<% =GetIB("/FeatureSearch.aspx") %>">Feature</a></li>

I am now using this code and it seems to be taking it whatever value I type into my textbox:
Protected Sub IBTextBoxButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles IBTextBoxButton.Click
Session("IB") = IBTextBox.Text
Dim IB As Integer = Session("IB")
Response.Redirect("IBDefault.aspx?Baccount=" + Session("IB"))
End Sub
<a target="_blank" href="<%# eval("Data") %>?IB=(Session("IB"))"><%#Eval("Title")%></a>
The "IB" gets underlined and says it must be followed by an equal (=) sign and a value. Or if in quotation marks, they must match.
I am building an ASPX web site which has several pages and multiple users.I grab specific info about each user such as UserName, ID, etc. when they start a session and I need to retain this info and have access to it from each page (which has it's own class).I know i can create a global file and share variables publicly, but i need the variable values to be specific to the user, not the entire application.

On my datatable (I hope that's the correct word) I have two columns that I want to store color values. I changed the data type to "System.Drawing.Color".
However it would appear I cannot simply type in the string (e.g: "Color.Black") to add it to the database. And when using an update SQL query and make it look for color values on the form, it wants to convert them to string.
Is it possible to store color values like this in this way or do I have use another method?
