I'm wanting to burn the contents of a folder to CD from within a VB.net project.After a few hours of research it doesn't appear as simple as I thought it would.Is it possible to control the native CD writing wizard on XPWin7?All I need to do is add the folder, give the CD a name and start the burn - the Wizard would be ideal and save hours of coding.

View 2 RepliesI have created a simple project where I have two forms, one a data entry form where a client name, address, city, state and zip are entered into textboxes. Then, the user clicks a button to add all this data to the datatable via a newrow. The second form includes a datagridview to show the datatable. However, I cannot get the code below to work to update the datatable. I have a button to click to check to see if the data is entered and it returns an error that no row exists.
View 2 RepliesI am in the process of writing a battleship game for a final project for school. I get what to do for the most part, but need a little jump start for writing the "ships" class. Does anyone have any suggestions?
So far my game starts with a dynamic array of buttons, but as of now they don't do anything. I need to be able to have the user place ships in places and have the computer randomly generate positions.
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

View 4 RepliesI've noticed that in VS 2005, there were plenty of new, great features, with good fixes and just a better overall system. However, it does not seem to have a very good setup wizard. You have less control over setup, and the wizard won't let me copy some files that my program needs with it.Is there a way to get a better setup wizard, or will I have to make my own? Also, how do you make a custom MSI?

View 2 RepliesActually, I am just a beginner of VB. but I have written other languages like C , C# so I understand the basic knowledge of VB.
Now when I read one book, I found one page telling about VB application wizard which is easier to place bars... but as i am using Visual Studio 2010 for VB, I can't find its icon when creating new project.
I have created an SQL Server 2012 database using the Server Managment studio and I want to connect to in in VB2010. When I run the connection wizard and locate the .mdf file it always tells me that the file is in use and to close any programs that have it open.
However VB is the only program I have open so I am not sure why it is telling me this order how to overcome it.I have tried creating a different database the same way to see if that help but it doesnt.
Is there something I might be missing in the creation of my SQL db that might be causing it?
When I add a datasource via the wizard the connection string is either writen directly in the dataset.designer or there is a reference to the projects settings. Either way I am figuring out if I could change it dynamicaly when my app starts up ?

how I can create a Setu Wizard
View 5 RepliesI am new to VS and evaluating VS 2010. I am trying to create a wizard type control, on which various controls are on each tab. I then want to turn off the tab description and outline and control which tab controls are displayed by programmatically selecting each or one specific tab. Also require to be able to place a control above a tab (not on any of the tabs, which will mean that the control is visible whenever the form is displayed
I am trying to duplicate the characteristics of the Clarion (Soft Velocity) language tab control.
I have noticed that the tab control does have a "visible" attribute and if turned off that none of the tabs are visible. I guess what I need is a "visible" attribute (most probably inhereted from the parent tab control ) which can be programmatically changed.

View 12 Replieshow to upload to FTP, however when using the FileUpload control inside a Wizard control, when you move to the next step, the File you selected gets cleared because of the postback. I need to be able to rename the file according to the results from the Wizard before uploading. So...
I finish my wizard It uploads some stuff to a database Renames the file according to those results Uploads the renamed file to the FTP server
I suspect I will need to follow a procedure something like this, having an upload button next to FileUpload
On "Upload" button click stream the file to the Web Server. Complete the Wizard. If the wizard completes successfully, rename file and stream to FTP server. If the wizard fails, what? Delete the file from the web server? How?
I think I understand the process, how to split my FTP Upload function into two parts with the proper error handling for when the wizard fails.

I have an ASP.NET form with multiple steps (using the Wizard control). When advancing to the next step, I want the page to start at the top, but for some reason it is maintaining the scroll position. I set the Page.MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback property to false, and I have the next button event handler set it to false also. I don't have the property set to true anywhere. But it is still maintaining the scroll position. What could be the issue here?
