File I/O And Registry :: Getting An Alternative To The File.Copy Method Of Copying Files?
Mar 27, 2009I've got an app which uses a background worker to copy files. It works fine but some files are quite large and it "appears" as though the app isn't doing anything.

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Replacing Original File And Permissions?
Aug 25, 2010I've got two programs, one is the main and the other is the updater. So far iv'e got it so that the main program checks for an update by comparing its version number with the latest one that's stored as a text file on the server. If there's a newer one, the update program is started and the main one closed. The update program will then use a web browser component to navigate to the download link and download the new version. The only problem I'm having at the moment is, How can I get the new downloaded version to replace the current one in Program Files? and will this cause permission problems?

Sep 6, 2010I created a setup project along with my main program everything compiles ok and I'm able to install a successfully. The problem I am experiencing is when I try to install over the previous version. I have set the setup property RemovePreviousVersion to TRUE , DetectNewerInstalledVersion to TRUE and I also increment the Version number and choose Yes when prompted to automatically change the ProductCode.
What I find is that when I install my program, the date on a subfolder changes, I don't expect the dates of the support files to change. but I do expect the date of my main .exe file to change. Unfortunately it stays the same. Running the program also shows that this file was not updated. I have read the MSDN articles on this but cannot figure it out.

View 18 RepliesReplacing Nodes In A Xml File?
Sep 5, 2011I decided to use XML to handle some of my configuration chores. My XML file looks something like this:
<catagories>
<catagory path= "C: empwyoming" name="Wyoming">
<URL Filename="Picture1.jpg">http://www.domain1.com/pic.jpg</URL>
<URL Filename="Picture2.jpg">http://www.domain2.com/pic.jpg</URL>
[code]....
I'm wanting to manage this list in my program. Currently, I have written code to read the catagories into a combo box, and once a catagory is chosen, I can read the children URL nodes into a listview. I want to allow editing and re-arranging of the URLs in the listview, and I'll have no problems with that. So my question is, what is the best way to dump the listview back to the xml file? You should consider the contents of the listview as a replacement for ALL of the existing children in the XML file.

Dec 18, 2010I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.
