VS 2008 Automating Text File Name?
Mar 7, 2010
I have a program, and writes data to a text file... with a template inside...
All works fine, and saves fine...
I'm wondering, how could I automate the filename it saves?
Currently it saves the text file as NewOrder.txt
I would like it to now realise that there is a NewOrder.txt already there, and save as NewOrder1.txt
Then when the program is closed, and I go to do a new one, it will say ok NewOrder2.txt
Hoping this is possible, I've been reading up on my.settings but I can't really find what I'm looking for...

I have some code that is supposed to automate a textbox on a webpage. The problem is, it only works half of the time. The text either displays or does not display. I added the internet controls as a reference but the HTML object library would not get added. Everytime i would go to do this, it would freeze.I also tried doing it two ways. The way that is commented out, always produced a null error. If i change the website to google.com, it works perfect everytime.[code]

I need to find a way to automate the process when a user uploads a microsoft project file to a web application I already have created. The process will need to basically use the save as from project to save into a .csv file so I can use this to import the data to an SQL database (this is needed for custom reporting we already have set up using SQL). I need to automate this process because I will be receiving tons of project files, and if the process is automated the users will then be able to instantly see results.
Basically, is there any way to create or run an automated process that will save these project files as .csv files? Even if the csv files are not formatted correctly, I can find a way around that, just need to first get them into .csv files. The only way I could think of this is to follow the instructions listed below, but I would then need to automate a process to open the file and hit save so this works... [URL]

I am looking for a way of automating the generation of a text document which includes a table and an image. My client has requested, however, that it be in Open Office format. I have played around with AODL for a while and have been able to create a file with the text within the table but some things are still bugging me.One such thing is column width. Another one is aligning an image.I find the problem with AODL is that it is not very intuitive to use and there are not so many examples available.

(Will be doing hundreds of these and therefore cannot just run a macro each time...will put the code in a for loop for each spreadsheet in a directory) My problem is that I am trying to create a pivot chart based on the pivot table.

I'm new to visual basic & have learned many new things in such a short period of time from being on the MSDN forums. I have learned particularly in the subject of automating web browsing control using the getattributes etc., but I have tried everything that I have seen in the forums to auto click the "Settings" link in a created gmail account and then have the browser automate the "Forwarding" to another gmail address. I haven't found a solution anywhere to accomplish this.
So here is an account to try out in which this should only take a few mins to a veteran coder:

Hi, i'm trying to use the treeview to display the text of a rtf (rich text file) file when an specific node if clicked.HomeOMGWOOTFor example, if i pick OMG, i want the text of lol.rtf to be displayed on a richtextbox. But somehow i just can't manage to get it... I know to import the text of a .txt file to a textbox, but using the treeview makes it more complicated.This is the code im using right now:
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
Select Case e.Node.Index
Case 0
[code]....
Another thing is, that i can't import the *.rtf text into a richtextbox and i don't know why.

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

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.

how to do this for vb6 however i am using vb 2008 and the code for vb6 does not seem to work.
I have designed a form with a text box on it, and a command button underneath. The idea is to run this as a sort of stiky notes section.
I want the text box to read rich text into the textbox (C:\\stickynotes.rtf")
Then i have a command button underneath which i want to save the content of the rich text box to the rtf file (C:\\stickynotes.rtf). This is so that the user can edit and ammend information.
here is some code i have so far
Dim fileReader As System.IO.StreamReader
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("C:\\stickynotes.rtf")

I have an ASP.NET web form that reads a file and writes some data to a database. I need to run this process on a scheduled basis.
Currently, I have a scheduled task that calls a batch file. The batch file then opens Internet Explorer and navigates to the URL and the process is fired. There is another scheduled batch file that closes Internet Explorer.

We have bid on a large installation and if we get it we will need to set up 300-400 router like devices very quickly. To set one up now we connect to the device with a serial cable, run Putty on the windows PC, log in to the device, and run some commands on it to load the latest firmware and change some settings. I'd like to reduce this to connect the router to the pc with the serial cable and press a button on a vb program. The program would launch Putty, login and execute the commands. Sendkeys might work but it would be best if the VB program could read the responses that were coming back to an extent so I wouldn't have to program in really long pauses to insure actions had completed before doing something else.

I have developed a VB.Net application to automate Word and I am noticing some issues when I attempt to close a document and subsequently Word. So I have decided to do the following - - ->
I check to see if Word is running on the local PC. If it is not, then I instaniate Word, execute code, close the document and quit Word. If Word is already running I want to be able to use that instance of Word, execute code, close out the active document and NOT close Word. I have retrieved the Process ID for Word running on the local PC but am not sure how I can use Word's properties and methods on an existing instance.

Since installing Windows 7 on one of my test machines my automated uninstaller can not find the uninstall string. My script works on XP just fine. I noticed that the uninstall information is in a different location for Windows 7. it is in Wow6432NodeMicrosoft... is there a constant I can use that will allow my script find the correct uninstall location on both Windows 7 and Windows XP?
