VS 2008 Application.StartupPath(), Back/up A Level Into Another?
Jul 5, 2010
been banging my head on this, i need to get the applications path, then go up 1 folder then into another. As i have a main app and sub apps.
So were Application.StartupPath()is for example:"C: Main app folderSub app folder"How do i then go up a folder to"C: Main app folder"I Know it needs some string removal using on it but i can seem to get it right, after which i could then use Application.StartupPath() 'string removal here" & " ools"to navigate to another sub apps folder etc.
Having finishedd an app, I'm having problems with Application.StartupPath in sql lines. I've tried commas, () and lots of different things. here's the code. This works, of course:
I am creating an Excel add-in written in VB.NET. I would like to bind KeyDown and KeyUp events to the spreadsheet to record when the user presses and releases the arrow keys while navigating the spreadsheetIdeally, these events would be built into Excel alongside the native SheetActivate and SheetSelectionChange events, for example. Alas, they are not.
I've almost finished a binary clock, but I have one problem. The user should choose between two different backgrounds, named binary.jpg and binary 1600.jpg

i have this code but it doesnt save in Application.StartupPath :
Public Class Form1 Private Property voice As SpVoice Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstyCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Integer, ByVal hwndCallback As Integer) As Integer
I have a FolderBrowserDialog and I want to set the root folder to the folder that the application is sitting in.I do not know in advance where the user has put the application, but I can find that (I think) by using Application.StartUpPathHow do I set the FolderBrowserDialog.RootFolder to the Application.StartUpPath ??

If I have a low level dll called low.dll. I then create another dll, say my.dll that references low.dll.
Now, if I create an application that references my.dll, I should not have to reference low.dll in the application correct?? This does not seem to be happening. The application will not compile as it cannot see low.dll, even though it does not access it directly.
How do you change an application level settings after compiling? I've searched Google and am at a loss. I've tried modifying the APPNAME.config file in the deployment directory but it doesn't change the application level settings.
I was reading a couple of articles a while back which I think described a behaviour where you can, in a .net application (specifically VB.net), allow an exception to occur, and then handle it in some kind of application-level exception handler, as opposed to within a Try/Catch block. My google-fu is weak at the moment, so I'm not having much luck guessing what this feature is called in order to find information about it.
I need to store a value globally (application level). This is part ID retreval program, procedure will return teh Max ID number thena i need to store the retreved value gloablly, so that if the user open many intance of teh same form i can use the gloabl value, to send Unique ID numbers to each form.
I bet someone already asked this but i cant seem to find it. Ok i need is a global settings that can be updated which will affect all users. I was using xml files in the program filestill now and I need to get around using this because the files can be delete or over written incorrectly. I started using the settings option and realized application level is read only and i cannot use user scope because then it wont be global settings. Is there an alternative to this.
I have been trying to build an application for which I need to set low-level keyboard hooks. I thing I am trying to accomplish is that when I press the key "a" I want windows to think I have pressed the key "b". But the problem I am facing is that when I press key "a" it produces "ab". I am providing my code below.Also I would like to know how to detect double and triple key presses (e.g. shift + a and ctrl + alt + b). [code]
I have a program that I would like to create application-level MouseEnter and MouseLeave events for. Basically I have an app that I'd like to leave open that would be very opaque when not in use, and when the user moves the mouse anywhere within the bounds of the application, it becomes solid, and when they move their mouse away from the application, it becomes opaque again.
The obvious problem is that MouseEnter and MouseLeave are control-specific and so they fire every time you move over a button or menu or whatever, so Leave and Enter are constantly firing even though you haven't "left" or "entered" the application.
So, is there any way to create mouse events that only fire at the application level?
I have a table, lets call it Objects. It has a predefined set of records looking like this: ObjectId ObjectName 1 Salmon 2 Trout 3 Seabass 4 Shark Etc..
So, this I would like to implement somehow as an enum. But what's the best way, implement it in the database creating tables for it or in the application logic in an CommonEnums codebehind file etc?
I have hosted a website in a server using ASP.Net 2.0, i have a web.config in the root folder and also one in the Admin folder, but the admin folder is not a virtual directory and i dont want to create.
I have created a simple program which uses a two tier structure of SQL Tables.At the top level, one record holds the date of the activities and linked to it using its primary key as a foreign key, three subordinate tables hold time stamped records.The issue I have been unable to solve is that before adding any of the lower level records for a given date, a newly added top level record must be saved to the database.Doing this manually is simple - but can I rely on my users to remember to do this before they start plugging in the lower level data?I thought not, so I am looking to save the top level automatically.I've failed miserably but I refuse to believe that it's not possible.
I have an mdf file in the vb.net 3.5 project I am working on. I wanted to write an stored procedure that will create a back up of the db in a selected location. How can I take a back up of the database from my application? I want the user to take a back up of the database manually.
