VS 2008 'Synchronizing' File Contents?

May 8, 2009

I am writing a text editor application which uses an advanced third party text editor. This editor allows the user to set Bookmarks and use Outlining, just like the editor in Visual Studio. The output of my application is a ".script" file, which is basically just a text file. This file is read later by a game, and I can therefore not change anything to the layout of the file. It must be a simple text file.

When the user saves any document, I would like my application to also store the Bookmarks in that document, and the state of any Outlining ranges (collapsed or expanded). The editor allows me to do this by using a special Save feature, which saves the contents of the editor (the text), along with its properties, bookmarks, outline ranges, etc to an XML file. I can also load this XML file back. Now there is one obvious problem: my application should still output its documents as ".script" files, which are just normal text files as said above. Therefore, I cannot use the XML files that also hold the properties/bookmarks etc directly, since the game cannot read those!

VS 2008 Use A Dictionary To Store The Contents Of An Ini File?

May 25, 2009

I'd like to use a dictionary to store the contents of an ini file. Now I know you can simply say

myArray.add("key1","value1")
myArray.add("key2","value2")
etc...

But Id like to store more information with a specific key, not just a single value, so id like to associate other values with key1 eg firstname,surname,address.

So by knowing the value of 'key1' I could retrieve the firstname, surname or address associated with it.

I know in PERL, hash arrays work in this manner
eg
$hash{'key1}{'firstname'} = 'john';
$hash{'key1}{'surname'} = 'smith';
etc....

VS 2008 Get File Contents To Make Program Do Certain Stuff?

Nov 7, 2009

1)How can I make my program get the contents of a .txt file on my website to tell the program to run or not?Here is and example of what I want:Say the file says "Running", the program would run without problems.If the file was to say "Unavailable", a pop up would appear saying "The program is currently unavailable, try again later." Then once the person clicked OK, the program would close.

2)How can I make the program get contents from a .txt file to get the latest version of the program, then if there is a newer version, there would be a pop up saying there is a newer version and they need to update. Then when they clicked OK, the program would close and it would open their default web browser or Internet Explorer to the update page.

[2008] Read Contents Of ZIP File (without Unzipping Preferably)?

Mar 5, 2009

I need my program to 'take a peek' into a ZIP file and see if it contains a certain file. I need it to do this many times for a large number of files, so I would prefer it without having to unzip the entire zip-file each time, as that would take far too much time (it's a fairly large zip-file of about 250 MB).Also, I don't need the actual file at all. All I need to know is if it exists inside the zip file.

vb.net
If IO.File.Exists("C:FolderIPFile.zipfolder_in_zipfile.jpg") Then
' "file.jpg" exists inside zip-file!

VS 2008 Viewing The Contents Of An Access File In A DataGridView Control , Programmatically?

Jul 9, 2011

I am trying to move from the old ADO to the new ADO .NET . However , no matter how many tutorials I read over the internet , I still can't find a way to do something which , as I believe , has to be very simple I tried to mimic the way the graphic control did but I am missing some things ... I noticed that , in the graphic way , the wizard created 4 controls :- a DataGridView control- a DataSet control- a BindingSource control- a TableAdapter controlI recreated all of them and filled their correspondent properties , but yet I can't make it work . I think what I am missing is the connection itself . I looked on the internet and I think a connection can be made and opened like this :

Dim DataBaseConnectionMY As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
DataBaseConnectionMY.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:ProsoData.mdb"

Synchronizing Remote MS Access Databases Using VS2010

Nov 6, 2010

I have an existing VB6 application which permits two or more users to work with local relicated MS Access databases. At start-up and shut down the local database synchronize with the master database (if the network permits dialogue) using

mDb1.Synchronize etc.

I am trying to port the application over to VS2010 and I cannot find anything equivalent to permit occasional synchronizing of various replicated MS Access databases with the master database (again, if the network permits contact between the two machines). Has anyone found a way of doing this for Access databases (not SQL Server databases)?

Works fine in VB6 but VS2010 has me beaten at the moment.

Synchronizing - (using A Background Worker) Checking All Of The Files & Subfolders

Jul 17, 2009

Unless someone knows of a way to do this already in windows, what's the best method for (using a background worker) checking all of the files & subfolders in a folder against another folder in an external usb hdd?

I'd like it to copy only the files that's changed since the last backup, and it'd be nice if I could right-click on a folder (which i can easily google this one, it's a common thing) and select my program and it'd pop up a window to get the destination (since the source is known from the windows context menu) and only copy (overwriting the existing files/folders) that've changed since the last backup.

VS 2008 - Simple Text -> Xml Program - Save The Contents Of The Bottom Text Window To An Xml File

Dec 23, 2009

I have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:

Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.

Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:

I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.
