VS 2008 - Creating Array Of Files Found In Folder?
Apr 17, 2010I have following code somewhere in my VB.NET 2008 program to create an array of files found in a folder:
Dim objFolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strXMLImportPath)
Dim arrXMLFiles2Import As IO.FileInfo() = objFolder.GetFiles("*.xml")
...
UpdateFileQ(arrXMLFiles2Import)
[Code] .....
When setting "option strict" to on, I'm getting following error on the line:
lbFileQ.Items.AddRange(dirlist)
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'AddRange' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Sub AddRange(items() As Object)': Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Array' to '1-dimensional array of Object'.
'Public Sub AddRange(value As System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection)': Value of type 'System.Array' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection'.
Although everything works fine with option strict set to off, I'd like to correct this problem. Also note that array "arrXMLFiles2Import" is used later on in the program, so I can't change anything on that.

Oct 25, 2008I want to save a bitmap object to file, but I want to make sure the file path is writeable first. The user should have write permissions to the folder and it should not be a location on a CD drive.Right now, it gives a "A generic error occurred in GDI+", which is not too helpful. I'd rather tell the user that the selected save location is not writeable.

Oct 8, 2009I am making a file program that will store information that a user can not edit without using my file system. The only two ways I can see how to do this is to either create an invisible folder to hold the files, or make my own extension. I think it would be easier to create an invisible folder through VB if possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

View 1 RepliesCreating And Deleting Registry Value On Install And Uninstall?
Dec 20, 2006I have program that on first run will run after installed will setup a server connection. The next times the program is run it will not execute this code to setup the server as it was done in the first run.
I can't use clickOnce IsFirstRun as the customer doesn't want that used for installation.I am using MSI to create the setup. I right click setup / view / Registry. I create a key value, example "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", "Installed"I set the property AlwaysCreate = false, and DeleteAtUninstall = true.
My big question I don't want to create the key value when the application is first installed. Only delete it when uninstalled.My code for checking for the key value:
Code:If (My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", Nothing) <> "Installed") Then 'The program is running for the first time so create key value My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareRealitySolutions", "CodeRed", "Installed") 'Setup server for the fist time Else 'The key exists so go no need to setup the server'Do something else End If
The key value deletes on the uninstalled - which is what i want it to do. However, it always creates the key value when installed. i don't want it to do this. It should only create the key value in the code.Can any tell me, when setting up the registry in the setup project, is there a way to stop it from creating the key value when the program is installed.

View 1 RepliesCreating A Folder With 99 Subfolders?
May 23, 2012I'm not really much of a programmer, so I was hoping I could get a little assistance with a simple task.
Quite simply, all I want to do is create a small program that creates a new folder on my C drive, and inside that folder, I want to generate 99 subfolders, named 01-99. I want to be able to input the name of the new folder, click a button, and then voila99 subfolders inside it. That's all I need.
I am pretty good at creating forms, and I already have an idea of how to design it, but the code, nahhh. Thirty years ago, I could probably come up with a for-next loop, but not today.Would anyone be willing to provide a snippet of code that might do this? PS: If anyone is wondering why the heck I need 99 subfolders in a folder, here's why I have a car stereo that supports USB flash drives. I have a 16 GB flash drive, but the car stereo only recognizes 99 folders. There are far, far more than 99 folders on the flash drive, so I have to consolidate them. That's it.
Creating And Accessing An Environment Folder?
Jun 6, 2011I have written a data analysis program and I want to keep a list of recently accessed data files. I have kept this list in a text file in the same directory as my .ese file which is installed in a subfolder in my programs folder. But in Windows 7, it is not possible to write to files in the programs folder without assigning privileges to that folder which I found confusing to do. I would rather not subject clients to this process. It seems like a good place might be in one of the user folders. But I have no idea of how to go about establishing a path to such a folder in code. I thought it might be possible to identify an environment path such as %userapps% or some such thing that would work in both Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I would also like to generate a .log file in the same directory to aid in debugging.

Creating Shortcut To Startup Folder?
Mar 8, 2009How would I create a shortcut of my exe file when its run, I can work out the directories and stuff but how would I actually create the program that it starts when windows boots?
I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.
