Using Sound Files But Not Having To Change Drive Name On New Computer?
Apr 18, 2012
I am using sound files in my project it is saved to my usb so when I use another computer I have to chang the location of the sound file I was wondering if there is a way so that when my project is put in to use the sound file location dose not have to be changed I mean is there a way to save it in to the prohere is my code
Private Sub frmplay_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
My.Computer.Audio.Play("F:\computer science\comp4\comp4\bin\song1.wav")
To programming and have a question with sound files. I am trying to figure out the basics and here is what I did: I created a button that is supposed to play a sound.
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:.......file.wav")
When I click this button in my .exe file it obviously plays because I am using the computer with the above location for the .wav file. When I use the .exe on another computer it doesn't play because it does not recognize that .wav location. How do I make this work for me? Do I need to embed the .wav with my .exe somehow?
Problem:When my computer restarts my mapped drive appears under My Computer. When I try to use it from code I get errors. If I open the mapped drive by double clicking it, and then try the code, it works. What I discovered is that when my computer starts the status, using net use, is
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
I used WNetAddConnection to map with a shared drive on another computer. But when I try to connect, I got an integer returned which is 53. After a while of searching in internet, I know that 53 means the folder is not found. Below are the code and parameters that I used.
A form that will have a drop down menu that will display the drives available in My computer. I really only want this list to show USB drives, but I wouldn't know how to limit the list to only show certain drive letters. And then how you would know what Drive letter would appear.So they would select there backup location from the drop down. Then the next option would be to select from 3 or 4 different different options that would have have radio buttons next to the options that you could select. Would be like: Playlists, Schedule, Media Library. They could select all or one of these. Each of these would represent a folder, or File that would be copied to a folder on the selected USB drive. Then the final button would be labelled Backup, and upon pressing that depending on what options were selected files would start to copy.
Now I know how to do the final copy part kinda, what I don't know is how to do is select the destination on the fly from what was selected in the drop down menu. And then how to make sure that what is being copied is that that is selected from the check boxes.
How do you share files from one computer to another that are connected in one wireless internet connection? I mean, it's possible using shared folders this means it could be possible in vb.net too..
ListBox1.Items.Clear() Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(TextBox1.Text) Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.*")[code]......
and that displays only the file name, like text.txt but i want it to display C:/Text.txt and all the files in the subfolders too, like C:/Program Files/Test2.txt but i just get test.txt from only the c:/ .
how can i get it to play other files besides just .wav, like .mp3. wave files are way too large to be used easily if you want a good quality. why cant i play .mp3 files with it?when i convert a 2.1 mb mp3 file to .wav it turns out to be 36 mb?any other ways besides computer.audio to play audio files on command?
I wan't to play a sound whether its the wav playing from within or a speech voice and to select a different output device other than the default. some programs allow me to output its sound on my other devices such as headsets while PC speaker plays something else.
Is there any way to change the sound MessageBox makes when it appears? I've written a Hangman game that displays a message box when a player wins, loses, hits an invalid key, or presses the same key twice and it always makes the same sound.
So im trying to figure out how i can change sound playback from head phones to speakers and from speakers back to headphones with 2 buttons, if u didnt get me: [Speaker button]<-- click=sound playback from speakers [Headphone button]<-- click=sound playback from headphones.
What I am trying to do now is design a program that will play 4 different sound files depending on the position of a joystick. I am not looking for any kind of gradient to be involved. Any kind of forward position should play the file associated with "forward". Any kind of left position should play the file associated with "left". And the same for "back" and "right".
I have only started using VB yesterday and have managed to make some very basic programs run.

With a steady tone feeding my audio input jack, the VU meters jump and bounce about 30%. I can also see the problem in the byte array of the capture buffer. I am running 8 bit mono so there isn't a chance that I'm getting a byte swap in a 16 bit word. My on board sound card is "Realtek HD Audio Input", direct sound 1.0.2902.0 and XP. Here is the real kick in the head, if I run anything that captures sound using the winmm library or if I use the winmm library in my application along with direct sound, the meters become stable. No errors are reported. Although I have written this in vb.net, I download another persons application that was written in C++ that uses direct sound with the same bouncing meters. I used the VU meters in Audacity to look at my audio levels and they are stable.
I'm working on a small game that I want to sync with the intensity of the music. I have a timer added and I want the interval to change with the intensity of the song playing. How would I go about doing this? I tried playing with Zplay and BASS.net with no luck.
I am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.
This is what I put so far:
vb Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub
I'm making a program which will open .rtf files into a rich text box by pressing a button. I can't seem to make it work. I'm trying to make the Go Button on Form 1 open the selected rtf file and put it into the rich text box on form 2.
Dim file As String = (destination) ReadFrm.ShowDialog() My.Forms.ReadFrm.bookrtb.Text = file
Nothing seems to happen It's trying to read from the C:\Program Files directory.
I have a problem I want to make a server and client where the server is password protected and will make the client display files/folders in a designated folder which will be in the server's current directory and the client will ask what IP and password to connect to and if the password is correct is allows the client to access the files/folders in that folder in C.D. of the server and the client can download any file within the folder by clicking a button, yet don't even know where to start.
