VS 2008 - Any Shortcut To Directory Comparisons?
Jan 5, 2010
I'm developing a relatively quick-and-dirty approach to copying some files over. The situation is that I have a point on the network where a master directory is located. This directory includes the official directory structure as well as all official files. The user's local machine should have a place in their C:Program Files directory that has the exact same directory structure.
If it doesn't, the application should create it and copy files over based on the network master. If the user's local machine does have the appropriate folders in place, then any newer files found in the network master directory should be copied over to update the user's local files. It seems to me that this would require knowledge of the root directories up to the point of the network master and the same for the local directory.
At first glance, this looks to be a bit more complicated to accomplish than I was thinking it should be. Are there any shortcuts to using say the Directory/DirectoryInfo, File/FileInfo classes, etc that would allow this to be accomplished? I'm trying not to overcomplicate it as I need to get something out pretty quick. But the answer just doesn't seem to be showing itself.

I have a database of tables that I needed to do some comparison work on and sql server is limited to the means of doing string comparisons. I put all the data into lists and thought of using [URL] or string.contains but does not seem like it is working right. It is large amount of data and I need to be able to make some matches in order to avoid the manual checking of each string. Here is sample data and code;

how i would check to see if a given class supports the >, = and < operators?
Given an object passed in, I am looking for code that implements the following logic:

I don't know if this is a case for Reflection, or ?

Has anyone here used either of the following (or any other tool) to convert your vb6 code to a .net language?Artinsoft's upgrade companion (converts to c# and vb.net)
vbmigration partner(converts to vb.net)How effective were they and what size project did you convert?
How much work was left to do afterwards?How happy are you with the resultant .net project.What was the support like?Is there a support forum anywhere for users of tools like these, neither vendor seems to offer one.What did they charge, their prices are not published and I have heard wildly differing prices from different sources for both the above examples

Here's the code I'm using:

I am trying to create a shortuct key that when you press alt-enter together it will make the media player control full screen. I tried adding the following code to the onkeypress event of the media player control but it didn't work. How can you make shortcut keys?
If e.nKeyAscii = Keys.Alt And e.nKeyAscii = Keys.Enter Then
mediaPlayer.fullScreen = True
End If

I have a program which when you press a button it minimises to a notifyicon in the system tray then you right click to bring up a contextmenu which allows it to be maximised again. What I want to do is add a shortcut, ctrl+shift+P for example so when that's pressed the program maximises again. But at the moment the only shortcut I can get to work involves right clicking the notifyicon before it works?

How would I run an executable with arguments like you can add to a shortcut? Such as:
"C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommonarma 2arma2.exe" -window
I want to create a program where I can select these arguments from a list, press a button, and away you go, without having to type them yourself.
Is there any way other than creating a shortcut and then running it?

I need to capture what keys the user presses and put it in a textbox. However, I need to capture multiple combination. For instance, if the user presses (and briefly holds) SHIFT and 1 (number one) the text box should say "SHIFT + 1." I also want "real time" capturing, meaning as the user presses the keys the value changes.

So I'm getting annoyed with this ffriend of min that keeps on asking for code off me for a VB assignemnt. Now I'd like to give him some code, but not the right code, (play a joke on him...he...he..). So thats the reason I'd like to write a infinite loop program for Internet Explorer. Would such Visual Basic program be possible?
I'm not going to write anything epic, but probably just the event handler to a button that keeps uploading internet explorer on a infinite loop after clicking. I know morally, this is wrong. I would rather be an ass than a lazy bastard.

I'm trying to build an application that when I press a keyboard shortcut, say CTRL + ~, if the window is minimized to the system tray it is displayed.
I have seen a few programs do this and have always wondered how to do this, but haven't had the opportunity to do learn it until now and I really don't know if its something simple or complex.

I'm creating a shortcut with my application, and its working successfully, except that the "Target" line is being cut off. Not all the arguments are listed. When I run the target application of this shortcut using process.start and these arguments, it runs fine. Is this simply a limitation of the "Target" textbox? Is it simply not displaying all the arguments, or is it functionally limited in this way?EDIT: I have determined that it is simply not displaying the full string, but seems to work correctly. I would still like to fix this somehow, but if not, not a big deal.There are 259 characters in the textbox, including spaces. Doesn't seem like a significant number to me.Here is the code, but it doesn't really matter, it is working fine:
