View 12 RepliesI have ashort (1.3MB) video clip set up with the Build Actiontent, and Copy to Output Directory as Copy Always.I am displaying the clip using mciSendString calls, which is working fine.However, I have been asked to change the delivery method so that the video file needs the Build Action to be set to EmbeddedResource and Copy to Output Directory as Do Not Copy , so I need to find a way to write the file to disc on demand so I can play it, then delete it when the form closes.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a WPF application in VB.NET with the 3.5 Framework. (If you provide an example in C#, that's perfectly fine.)
In my project I have a Template for an MS Access database. My desired behavior is that when the users clicks File-->New, they can create a new copy of this template, give it a filename, and save it to their local directory.
The database already has the tables and some starting data needed to interface with my application (a user-friendly data editor)
I'm thinking the approach is to include this "template.accdb" file as a resource in the project, and write it to a file somehow at runtime?
Is it possible to make sort of an installer where you have your files you wan to install in the Project resurces file and then copy and paste them into a directory?

.NET masters!Im working on a VB.net file management program that copies 100,000s of small images (20 - 300 KB).At least it tries to. When doing large multi-hour operations I start getting exceptions with the"Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." error message.In a few cases the computer has then crashed.After a lot of debugging, finally with livekd kernal dump I can see that the System PTEs in the Kernel Mem are getting very low.I can monitor the PTE's in realtime with Performance Monitor with the Memory/Free System Page Table Entries.After an hour or so the PTE's start dropping in what appears to be linear fashion as the program keeps copying.Im sure it is the copy function causing the problem, as when i let the code run but with the copy routine commented out, the free PTEs stopped going down.Behaviour is identical with both of these calls. System. IO. File.Copy(strFileSource, strFileDest, bOverwriteFile) My.Computer. FileSystem. CopyFile (strFileSource, strFileDest, bOverwriteFile)If I stop & close the program, PTEs do not seem to rebound at all. If I start the program again, the PTEs again start going down.SO: What is up with File.Copy? Why is it using and not releasing all these PTE's? Seems this memory should be free after the copy.How can I change my code to avoid running up the PTEs?The test computer is Windows XP sp2 with 500MB ram. (also been testing with 1.5 G ram)Ive found some helpful documents on PTEs, which discuss system configuration via registry settings. But this is not really an option for me as this is a commercial product that others will be using on their own computers.Detection, Analysis, and Corrective Actions for Low Page Table [code]
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to move a lot of pictures from FOLDER A to another, FOLDER B. However, some of the pictures already exists in the FOLDER B. This stops my program saying it cannot copy the pictures over because they already exist. I'm trying to make it so any pictures from FOLDER A will copy over the pictures in FOLDER B if they are similar in name. Like... Folder A's pictures will just replaced the Folder B pictures if they have the same name. I was told to use the System.IO.File.Copy tool. Here is my code.

I have a little vb.net script that will copy a file, set its attributes to Normal, update the file time, and then set back the attributes to match those of the source file.

IO.File.Copy(Source, Destination, True)
IO.File.SetAttributes(Destination, IO.FileAttributes.Normal)

I am developing a VB.NET 2008 application, consisting of a main EXE application and several resource DLLs.
I need two functions for the DLL:
1) one function to get a list of all files in the resources of the DLL.
2) one function to return 'by name' a resource file as a System.IO.Stream type.
NOTE: The files will not be "Embedded Resource" (this doubles the size of the DLL), so I think cannot use 'GetManifestResourceStream'.

I currently use:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I want it to be called by name.I am adding the resources using the VS 2008 "Resources" tab, from the My Project screen, I'm not manually editing Resources.resxAs I said before, it works with:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I need to get the resources by name, which also works by using
GetMAnifestResourceStream
but this requires to set the resources Build Action to "Embedded Resource", which doubles the size of my DLL file.I currently use "None" as Build Action, but I can use any Build Action that does not increase the file size more than the actual resources size.
I'm trying to write an application that requires information to be saved once the application has been exited. In order to do this I have been experimenting with storing the data in text files. More specifically I've been looking into adding text files as application resources. I am using VB Express 2008 and added the text file resource through the application tab>>Resources>>Add Resource>>Add new text file. I am able to use my.resources.TextFile1 to read the text file but I am unable to write anything to it. I have tried using my.resources.TextFile1.replace and .insert but neither of those are working out. I was thinking there is maybe a read only setting somewhere, but I have not been able to find any information on this issue.

I have a resource file that I include in my shared code library that has all of my re-usable classes in it (all the resources go into their own namespace). Now, what is the best practice regarding resources... should I include them in the same DLL, or should I have a seperate resource DLL and/or are there any benefits from seperating them out into their own file.
