VS 2005 - File Being Writen To The Desktop?
Oct 13, 2009
I have the following code :
sw = New StreamWriter("scanner.txt")
sw.WriteLine("TEST")
sw.Close()
This code should write the txt file to the folder my exe is in. This is the case on hundereds of different machines.
However I have just found out that on one machine my code always writes the files to the desktop and expects to read from the desktop. I am going to change my code so it looks specifically for the application folder but I still dont get why this is happening on one machine and not on all the others.

way to do the following in VB 2005:
I need to access, but not display, a web page out of a VB 2005 program. The web page would be an aspx page with a query string as part of the url - with the url using values acquired thru the program - e.g. www.mysite.com?arg1=this&arg2=that
So the aspx page would produce an html output with values I need placed in specific elements. I want to read that page from my app and do stuff with the resulting values.

I have writen a piece of software which takes values from a serial port, peforms some calculations and then records the result in an Excel file.It also uses some values stored in an excel file for reference.
The program will run fine for days/weeks until the PC is rebooted mid run.Once it gets rebooted mid run I ge the error "RPC_E_DISCONNECTED"This then occurs everytime the program is run.Full error file below.I'd like to code for this error of course but even a simple fix to stop it happen once the PC has been rebooted to allow it to run again would do. I can give more details but I'm not sure where to start.Target system is windows XP SP3 with office 2007

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

As part of a program for class we were instructed to create a text file on the user's computer. The instructions were to create the file to the C: (or the same drive as the Windows directory) but Windows7 requires Admin privileges to write to this directory. It works great if I run Visual Studio as admin, but I'd rather just write to an unrestricted area. For example the desktop. Is there a way to write directly to the user's desktop without knowing the user's username. Right now I'm using this "c:UsersNickDesktopScores.txt"; which works but of course the user's name is different on every machine. How would I go about specifying the user's desktop?

i want some work with swf. the steps are: all these things i will do with desktop application
1) break the swf file in small parts and store in any database or put these parts on physical path but in that case all swf part should be encrypted so nobody run these files with click.
2) run that parts from memory ( any of these part is not run with mouse double click ) with vb.net application
i read delphi can do the streaming of swf. so can it possible with .net

I'm new to this forum and new to programming (literally just a week or so). I'm trying to write a program that uses a combo box selection accompanied with a button that when pressed, will download a file off a website, save it to my desktop and the run itself.[code]The thing I want my code to do is to universally be able to save the file to the desktop of any windows OS a user may be using. I'm going to end up having people using XP, Vista and Win7 use this application and each of those I believe have a different root to reach the desktop. Instead of having to hard code each and every scenario, there must be an easier way, right?Can you guys help me figure out what the syntax is for getting the users windows username and desktop location so that no matter what OS they're using, the file will always be downloaded to their desktop?
