I'm using the System.IO.Packaging namespace in my VS2005 application. The zip compression works fine for 1 or many files. The unzip though for some reason seems to only unzip one file. Initially I did this in vs2008 at home and it worked fine, but now at work with vs2005 it's only unzipping one of the files. Can you see anything that I might be doing wrong?
Public Sub UnzipArchive(ByVal zipFile As String, ByVal UnzipLocation As String)
If (Not zipFile Is Nothing And Not UnzipLocation Is Nothing) Then
Dim zipFilePackage As Package
I'm using the System.IO.Packaging namespace to compress a file. I'm getting an error that says 'file contains corrupted data'. So i tried using a txt file with just a few characters, and I got the same error. I read where someone said to make sure you have all streams closed and I checked this and do so I'm not sure what to try now. Here is my code.
I have a public class element from another namespace, called A, that I want to access and use in another namespace, called B. Namespace A and B are in different directories but are a part of the same project and solution. I try using the imports statement and referencing the class itself directly but it doesn't find it. Does anyone know what's wrong?
I have a wierd problem with an Inputbox.Who I have not in VB 2003 and 2008. If I try this:
vb.net Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim result As String = Inputbox("Enter your username") TextBox1.Text = result End Sub
Then I've got this error:'Inputbox' is a namespace and cannot be used as an expression.Do I need to show an Inputbox in a different way than in vb 2003 or 2008.
i want to select specific nodes of a xml document.Everything is ok until the document has an xml namespace. Then when i try to select the specific nodes no node is being returned.. This is because an xml namespace is declared. Is there a way to select those nodes and ignore the xml namespace ?
I am creating class libraries in my project so that I can update code without having to update the whole app.I created a class library project and added some code to it. I also added a reference to System.Data.SqlClient and also imported it into the class file.I am getting an error and I have never seen it before. Been looking online and not able to find an answer yet.
I need to read an xml document from a database record into an XDocument object in order for it to be deserialized. So that the deserialization will work, I need to apply a specific namespace to each of the level 1 elements. So XML looks a bit like this:
[Code]...
How do I prevent the blank/empty namespace being added to each child element of the element to which the required namespace has been applied?
I would really like to know if there is anyway in which I can package two or more set up files together with my vb.net application; so that after installing the application, it automatically starts installing the other applications from the other set-up files.
This class is located in the namespace Acme.Infrastructure.Interface.A class with the same name EventArgs exists in the System namespace.In another project in my solution I have a class Acme.BusinessModules.MyModule.MyClass.When attempting to use the EventArgs class I have to fully qualify the class name or the compiler thinks I am using the System.EventArgs class.My understanding of namespace resolution was that the compiler would first look for the class in the current namespace, and then its parents. It seems that the compiler checks in System before it checks in sibling namespaces. Is it correct that System is checked before the sibling? Or is this behaviour caused by other issues (Imports order?)?

I am trying to compress and uncompress files. I have read that System.IO.Packaging might suit my needs, but I can not find it. I am using VS 2008 professional. Imports System.IO.Packaging at the top of class does not work (it throws an error). I did find system.io.compression. Does this replace packaging? If it does, does it handle .7z and .rar files?

I'm trying to use system.io.packaging to create my own zip class. I've got it to work, but i'm not happy with the compression rate. In the code below I've set it to the maximum compression rate, yet winrar is able to create a zip (at maximum compression) that is 2/3 of the size when I make it. Am i doing something wrong?
I have developed an app and an installer for it and everything works fine. I now feel I should add a bit of obfuscation to the code before it gets released into the wild. VS2010 comes with the CE edition of dotfuscator so I've run it and it produced an .exe in a 'Dotfuscated' folder. Do I just replace all four 'Primary output from. custom actions with the assembly from the Dotfuscator folder or am I missing something?

I'm developing a very simple program in VB2010 Express that will create folders based on entries in a remote database. I am fully aware that the minimum requirement to run the exe is the latest .net framework, however I have a few added resources to the file, and when I try to run the executable on another computer, it fails to run stating that the resources are missing.
How do i compile my VB code AND the resources together into a stand-alone executable that only requires the .net framework to be installed?I have already tried to google this issue, however every answer I find has nothing to do with my initial question..

I've been working on an application that uses TCP to send messages to another computer, but I am going to be updating it alot!I know how to make my program update itself, but I just want a progress bar so you know how long it will take until the file is completely downloaded.Also does anyone know how to zip and unzip files in VB.NET, it would make my updater easier if it can just download a zip file and then unzip it and copy the contents to my applications running directory.
