View 3 RepliesIs there a way to store data on a USB file in a way that the OS cannot read it with the standard methods? I was thinking maybe with an uncommon filesystem, but then I 'd probably have to implement the IO myself, which sounds like a huge work.Another idea would be to access the disk sectors in a low level way and store data in an incompatible way?

Now what I would like to do is have all my TLB files in one folder and have my application point to that folder to use them.The problem I am having is that my EXE will not run unless all the TLB files are in the same folder as the EXE. I do not want this. I want to put some code into my file that sais that the tlb files it needs are located in say: [code] and still have it work. again right now they all have to be in the same folder which is really bugging me.

View 1 RepliesI've been working on my school project and whenever I add new components to the GUI or change the code and save ALL files, it still debugs my forms without the new components or code. I even added a new button to see if it shows up when I debug and the button doesn't even show up. I also deleted a form from my project but it still shows it when I debug... If anybody knows how to fix this problem please let me know! I also restarted my computer many times and I don't know if this is an issue but I'm running windows on a MAC. I've had no problems with this in the passed and I've been using this computer for a couple of months now.

I'm experiencing a wierd problem deleting some .csv files. Any .csv files named 1.csv, 2.csv, or 3.csv will not delete using delete() method of system.io namespace. if i do any number greater than 3 it works. For example, 4.csv, 5.csv, etc. works fine. 1.xls, 2.xls also is ok. The error it is throwing in my log is 'access to the file is denied.' Nothing is using the file. I even copied a new file into the directory and it does not work. I even created a 1.csv in a totally different directory with no luck. What is going on with this? Has anyone ever experienced this?
