VS 2008 - Capturing Path And Name Of Currently Open Folder
Apr 8, 2011
My application is designed to open a desired folder. Now, I want my application to be able to capture the path & name of the current open folder in Explorer so that the user can easily save it as favorit without writing the path and stuff.
how to open a folder that contains a comma in it's path like: Shell("explorer.exe \serverpath to, folder", vbHide) or Shell("cmd /c start \serverpath to, folder", vbHide)
Is there a way to get the base folder of the executable? I tried some other things that I found on google, but I can't use them (not in the library or something like that).

how to change the install folder path in a setup and deployment project/Installer class from program files to C:usersPublic in windows 7 and allusers folder in xp.Want to add MVP with my name.
I'm just trying to move my folder from one path to another path.The coding seems like it has moved it but the folder is not appearing in my destination path?
Imports System.ServiceProcess Imports System.IO Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).
If I have a file path like "C:My DocumentsImagesImage1.png", how can I get the parent folder name of the "Image1.png" file? In this case, "Images", but that's just a sample. I've looked through System.IO.Path and there doesn't seem to be anything there.
This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?
In VB.NET (2008 Pro) how would I be able to change the path of a folder to represent the recycle bin or printer folder, control panel etc.I have seen it before in VB6 (code below) where the user was able to select a windows path and it set the folder to that path, and also, changed the icon to that particular folder.

How can I get my app. to remember a path to an folder that has been enterd into a TextBox?

If the SettingsDialog is closed or the app. is closeed the contens of the TextBox is lost.
In my project I am capturing frames using a camera. The frame resolution is 1280*1024. Now I wanted to copy the same captured frame i.e contents of buffer(1280*1024 size) into an another buffer which is of size 1024*1024. The remaining 256bits I just want to discard.
I was googling / searching the forums for this type of code.I want to be able create a folder within my application folder, mainly because I don't want people using my program to use a specified path to be able to use my program.
Example,If I would using a specified path It would be ("C:/Macbrutal/Foldername")And the user who would install my application surely, doesn't have macbrutal as username for windows so their path would be ("C:/User/Foldername") and that would bring my program an error, if you get me.
So to brake it down a little, Let's say my path for my program is ("C:/Macbrutal") I want my program to generate a folder where my application is located (not with specified path) which would be (C:/Macbrutal/newfolder")
