I have a program that copies files to several servers in succession. If one of those servers is unavailable for any reason, my program hangs for about a minute before it continues on to the next server. Is there a quicker way to determine if the path is available or not?

Is there any way to detect if the DNS server is not responding for sure. That is because if I ping the server while my torrent downloads are in progress, I get a "Request timed out".
I am developing an application which will keep track of various information about medical practitioners that are affiliated with my place of work. One thing that we are tracking, is their availability by time of day (morning, afternoon, and evening) for each day of the week (monday - sunday). Additionally we will store an optional comment about the practitioners availability, something like "Does not work during full moon."
The input/display form for this information will be table with days of the week as column headers, and times of the day as row headers. Check boxes will indicate whether the practitioner is available during the specified time.
I am having a hard time figuring out how to store this information in the database. The most obvious solution to create a table with 24 columns (21 for 7 days * 3 times, 1 as the primary key, and 1 for the foreign key referring to the practitioner, and 1 for the comment). Which is a crappy table, but at least it's easy to select and update.[code]....

I created a survey in vb.net where results are stored in an Excel file. Locally I can access and update the data of the file, but if I put online can not correctly access the excel file. How can I determine the absolute url of the file so, when a user submits the answers they can be inserted correctly in the excel file?Currently I use this to determine the location of the file: Dim LocalizacaoFicheiro As String = String.Concat(Server.MapPath("."), "RespostasQuestionario.xlsx")

How do I determine a mapped drive's actual path?
So if I have a mapped drive on a machine called "Z" how can I using .NET determine the machine and path for the mapped folder?
The code can assume it's running on the machine with the mapped drive.
I looked at Path, Directory, FileInfo objects, but can't seem to find anything.
I also looked for existing questions, but could not find what I'm looking for.
I am looking for a way to determine whether a file spec that I provide is local or remote. I am using VB2008. I have a VB6 app that does this by using the PathIsNetworkPath API call, but I am hoping that I can use the .NET framework instead with VB2008. Google gives lots of results on how to determine if a network path is available, but not specifically what I want.

View 2 RepliesI can download the files I want. However, the client has insisted on creating different folders which will contain the version number. So the name of the folders would be something like this: 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, etc.So the files will be contained in the latest version in this case folder 1.0.3. However, how can my web client detect which is the latest one?

View 1 RepliesUsing the Application Framework in a WinForms Project, I need to check conditions to determine whether the application should run at all and if it shouldn't run then I need to kill it before it even shows the main form. My conditional checking is occurring at the MyApplication.Startup event handler, so all I need is the method that shuts down or kills the current application.
I'm pretty sure this question's been asked a thousand times, a few of those even by me, but I can never remember the right language to get any useful info out of a Google or MSDN Search string.

I have a chat server / client system running, but I want users to authenticate with my vBulletin forum database.I don't want the client to do it, because it is possible to fake the 'successful login' and connect with a fake username. I want to send the username and password details to the server, and make the server check it with the local vBulletin MySQL database for the username and password.Is there a way to do this? To my knowledge vBulletin has a username and a password entries in the database which is salted, and the salt varies from user to user.

Update: My problem doesn't seem to be with the SQL server. I executed an update statement inside the database manually against the view and I was able to update the Bar table. I'll close this and research the OleDbDataAdapters more since I think the problem lies with them.This question applies to MS SQL Server 2000. How do I determine which table of the multitable view can be modified?
[Code]...
I realize I can write two update statements one for each table. My concern is different. I need to audit code that uses views like the one above and does updates on the views. I was hoping to find a way to determine which parts of the updates will be silently ignored.
I edit Bar.Column1 and then call the Update() method of the OleDbDataAdapter. This results in the Bar table not being modified nor is an exception thrown. If I edit Foo.Column2 then call Update() the Foo table does get modified.

I have a app config file with a filewatch file path as a setting. This way the user can change that file path easily on site. My problem comes into play when the file path, usually to another computer on the network is not valid, then I will get a not so nice microsoft error. I would like to catch this error, and put in a friendly msgbox to tell the user it's just an invalid file path. But the file watch is on my first form on the program, and having the catch on the onload of the form is not soon enough. I can catch the error on the form1.designer.vb, but I don't think your suppose to modify that. Cause when I do, bad things happen, like i'm not able to get my form in design mode.
