VS 2005 - How To Trim Path From Filename
Aug 5, 2010
I am trying to trim the path from a filename. With the following code, it returns "My Documents" where I should be getting "Test.txt". If I change the 1 to a 4 I get what I'm looking for, but that's not going to work if I'm working with a file deeper into subdirectories. I need it to display the name of the file regardless of location or file type.
Private Sub trimname()
Dim filelabel
split = current.Split("")
filelabel = Trim(split(1))
Elbow1.ButtonText = filelabel
End Sub

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I got an easy one this time How can I get a file knowing the path and the name of it, but not knowing the extension which I need to get. You can see at the moment I use this silly code which finds and opens some main filetypes for me, but if I could get hold of the file extension just by using the filename and the path I could open any document or image...

Using vb.net 2008 I have a form with a PDFViewer control. I pass the filename and path to open the pdf. When the form is closed, AcroRd32.exe is not destroyed. It remains in Task Manager even after I've completely closed the application. The more pdf files I open, the more memory used. How can I destroy? I've tried setting the control = nothing, ctrl.dispose but neither is working. What am I doing wrong?

This is the code I have set up to scan a directory of files:
Dim fileArray() As String
fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "help")
And it successfully gets all files in the directory, but it gets their absolute paths as well. For example, one of the entries in fileArray() is:
F:ProjectProjectinx86Debughelpook_troubleshoot.html
And I want it to just be:
book_troubleshoot.html
Is there a way to do this without parsing through all the array entries to trim off the path?

I suppose technically this isn't .NET specific but I suspect this is something to do with the registry and I'm using .NET!I'm trying to find out how to get the fully qualified path relating to a file type.For example, the system knows that to open a PDF file it needs to launch C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Reader 10.0Readeracrord32.exe
I've had a good long search through the registry and found a lot of references to the adobe path probably too many - and I've edited them to try and "break" the process so I can identify which one is used to discover the path but with no luck. I'm assuming this has something to do with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

I am a new developer in general and decided on VB.NET for my first language. So, I decided that I should write a basic FTP client since the types of apps I plan on developing later on will incorporate file transfer. I imported the chilkat dll as a reference to my project since the FTP seems to work great. Anyhow, I've designed my program with separate interfaces for sending and getting files (see attached screenshot).
The problem here is that I use an openfiledialogbox to select the local file to transfer to an FTP server which this populates the textbox with "C: ext.txt", but chilkat wants the filename without the C:, or I receive an prohibited file name error when executing the send button. So basically I just need a way to store the filename text.txt without the C: extension so I can specify THAT name as the "remotefilename" which Chilkat will understand. The way I'd really like to do it is to have my send button remove the C: from the existing textbox and just leave the filename there - that would be fine.
I tried to research this and found that the path.Getfilename may be used for this, but I'm not totally sure how i should go about it. Here is the code of the Send button for my FTP Program so far. *By the way, this program works 100% if i just create another textbox, take the filename "test.text" and reference that as the remotefilename.

How can I remove the actual file name from the path returned by the FileName property of an Open or Save File Dialog?

I would like to use a SaveFileDialog to retrieve a path and filename.
Like for example: You choose a saving location and filename in the SaveFileDialog, and then when you press save the path and filename will be put in to a string as such: C:Folderfilename.txt

in my program, i use that code for getting the file path of a process, once it gets the path, it is put into a list view which has details like the task manager. the code works fine the first time, but with a little bug that is, when it reaches the vhost of my program. For some reason, it just copies the file path of my program even though the process has changed. After the code has gone through, i want it to refresh the list so as doing the same as when loaded...so I let it refresh and once again it copies the path of the vhost, but this time it has basically taken over every process' location. So in turn, I only get returned my programs location, for something like the task managers location, where it would be like "C:Windowssystem32skmgr.exe"
Here's the
VB
Private Sub frmmain_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim Process As New Process()
Dim Count As Integer = 0
[code]....
The refresh code is frmmain_Load(Nothing, Nothing) just to make things easy for me right now, while i get that part of the program going. To me it seems to be working fine, but why it does that what it does, im not sure. as you can see, the process changes. and Ive even checked it through run time, and each and every time, the process.processname changes.

I want to know if there is a way to trim and audio.For example, I load in a song that is 3mins in length. I only want 1min 10s part to 2min 30s portion of the song and then save it as, let's say a WAV file.
Is there any API that I could look into to do this?

I want to add a picture in my picturebox. I can do this with a normal link to my directory, but I want it relatively.I also have another problem with this picturebox. For some rows in my database, there isn't a filename in the Picture column. And when I select this row in my program. The program crashes because the program can't find a filename.What can I do to make sure that my program keeps working and that there is just no picture in my picturebox?This is the code I have now

is there any way to attach a sql mdf by filename but actually make the database name something else?
the problem i'm having is that my connection string attaches the database just fine, but it gives the database a name of it's full path on the hard drive when i pull it up in SSMSE. ie. "c:program filesmy programmy database.mdf" is shown as the name when i do a sqlcmd and issue a select name from sys.databases
the snag is being hit due to the fact that i'm trying to do a "bcp in" and because a: there are spaces in the database name, and b: there's the .mdf extension also added to the database name that when i run my bcp in command it errors out, even if i use the -q option of bcp.
if i start SSMSE and right click the database and rename it, bcp works great - so my question is, how do i correctly format my connection string to attach to c:program filesmy programmy database.mdf, yet have it attach the database as "mydatabase" for use in bcp statements?
i've been to connectionstrings.com and they only cover the standard connection strings
in summary - i want to attach an mdf file programmatically and specify the name that ssmse see's it as....

Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

I have a program where the users generally use UNC paths. For a textbox where they type in a new path to work with, I'd like to be able to make it easy for them by having a button to fire off a FolderBrowserDialog so they can just navigate to it. Alas, I cannot seem to feed it a UNC path as a starting point.
