VB Form Prepare Working Environment In Chosen Directory?
May 16, 2012
I am working on a GUI for a simulation program. The simulation program is a single .exe which is driven by an input file (File.inp placed in the same directory). The Original.inp file functions as a template from which the form reads all the values into an array. Then it changes these values reflecting the changes done by the user in the form. After that it writes all the new values to File.inp. By pushing the "Run" button the Simulation.exe file is executed. The folder structure looks like this:
[Code]..
Ideally I would supply only the GUI, the user would select the working directory and then the GUI.exe would create an input folder and extract the Original.inp and Simulation.exe in the appropriate locations. So far I have only managed to include Original.inp and Simulation.exe as "EmbeddedResources" in my VB project and I have let my code create an input folder in the working directory chosen by the user.
how I can extract the .inp and .exe file into the correct directories? I've searched on google, tried File.WriteAllBytes and Filestream.WriteByte but did not get the desired results. The problem with File.WriteAllBytes was that I could not point to the embedded resource ("Simulation.exe is not a member of Resources" and with Filestream.WriteByte I got a 0 kb file.
I am getting an error: OleDbCommand.Prepare method requires all parameters to have an explicitly set type.
on the last line of the code below.I have seen things saying you have to set the datatype of each parameter but how can i do that when it being generated by the command builder?
I'd like to be able to get and set the different information for a user in Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 under Environment and Session tabs through a VB.Net application. I am familiar with System.DirectoryService but I can not find the correct attributes for these particular tabs. For example, I'd like to check "Connect Printer at logon" or set "Idle session limit".I've found the "ms-TS-Connect-Printer-Drives Attribute" and other attributes like it but they are only implemented on Server 2008.
I am trying to create radiobuttons, and then create code for them after they are created. I have the code to create the radiobuttons. What I want to do is create a sub for the event of changing the check value for the radiobutton. Or to have the check value recognized by a button click. For example, you click the button and if the first radiobutton has the circle filled then a msgbox comes up and says hurray. My code so far is this:
FormA calls DialogB where user cancels DialogB which exits via ForceTermination(), see insert.Caller FormA check for DialogResult not = OK, which it isn't, and I can see this in debug as Abort(3).However, the code continues merrily along its way until I get a 'null reference' error which I'm trying to avoid via Force Termination().This is caused by the user cancelling DialogB, a selection process to get a database (SQL) instance.[code]
I'm not sure why the following code is not working as intended:
CODE:
Where litMessage is the name of the literal control and messageBody is the name of the string variable.
My intention is to output a string onto a web page and to replace the line breaks with a br tag so that it can be displayed on the page correctly. However, nothing is replaced. When viewing the page source, it looks like the line breaks still exist in the string. Similarly, when displaying the string via MsgBox, it displays normally as well. I have also tried wrapping the output with the pre tag and it displays the line breaks properly as well.
The string was originally entered by a user through the use of an asp:Textbox and saved into a MSSQL database. It's retrieved and displayed on another webpage using an asp:Literal control. The only thing that happens to the string before it is submitted is that it is trimmed (i.e. textbox.Text.Trim()).
Perhaps there is something I did not consider?
Edit #1: Due to time constraints, I've decided to just wrap the text with the pre tag. It's an acceptable work around as it preserves the line breaks. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain why the code didn't work in the first place. In the meantime, I'll just leave the question unanswered until I find a proper answer.
Edit #2: Solution found and answered below. UpdatePanel tag added to the question for future reference.
I have VB6 Dll which I am referencing in vb.net ,I am calling the following function in it. It working fine in developemnt environment but not in deployement environment.
Error Method not found: 'Boolean MyUtils._MyUtils.LoadMyObjectRecords(ADODB.Stream ByRef, System.Array ByRef)'.
In VS2005, I noticed that when you go from the code window to the form window, the form immediately appears, but then redraws again, and takes about 4-5 seconds to come back. Is there any way around this annoyance? Has it been fixed in VS2008? In general, has anyone noticed any speed improvements in the development environment between VS2005 and VS2008?
I'm trying to emulate the possiblitys of what windows does to try and locate a find and I'm kind of stuck on 2. The current directory for the parent process. I'm guessing if you execute it from cmd.exe it would check c:windowssystem32 folder cause that would be the parent process and that is its folder, but if you double clicked, seems to set the working directory to the path where the exe is located.
I found the following example of how to print a root directory on the net Code: Sub Main() Dim Current As String Dim Root As String Current = Directory.getCurrentDirectory() Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Current) Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("") Console.WriteLine("Current directory {0}", Current) Console.WriteLine("Root directory {0}", Root) End Sub However it just causes the error "name directory not declared"
I had originally saved the project I was working on to my desktop, but now I have moved the folder to another location on my hard drive (didn't want it on my desktop anymore).
But since I've moved it I get the message:
The working directory does not exist: 'C:old folder locationResources'.
Is there a simple way to update my project to the new folder location?
I am working on a project that requires the use of multiple tabs, but the problem is all my codes/layouts so far has been on a single form. How easy would it be to transfer the existing codes and layouts on a single form to a multi-tabs environment ?
when you start a new projekt, vs2010 makes a new folder for the projekt. when i reach a certain point in my projekt i want to save that version of the projekt.
what i do is make a new folder and copy that projekt to it. projektfolder2 . when i start the projekt in the new folder the sln doesnt work anymore. the vbproj works then. and vs 2010 makes a new sln file one directory down of the old one between the other projekt files.
I am currently working on a project, which requires to download files from the internet and copy them to certain directory's... I've done the downloading part but I can't seem to get the directory working. The directory is "special" E.G. Appdata Program Files etc., and well when I tried just using %appdata% it seemed to create a new directory NAMED %appdata% rather than actually goto appdata...
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've got an application that has a bug right now, but we're unable to update the end-user to get the fix out. What a possible workaround would be is to change the working directory to the application's install directory, but from what I can tell, there's no way to do that outside of the program itself.
