I'm extracting icons from running processes and then adding them to a ListView. Some processes don't have icons or I can't get access to them, so the icons are sometimes all mixed up. The following is how I'm extracting the icons:

I was able to extract icons from the current running processes and then put them into a ListView.
I am trying to do the same with files in a specified directory:
vb.net
[Code].....
When I use this code, I get an error stating: "'MainModule' is not a member of 'System.IO.FileInfo'." If I remove the very first line of the sub that specifies the directory, that error obviously goes away.
So, is there another method of extracting the icon? Or must I declare the directory in another way?
I'm getting ready to check MSDN to see if I can something withing the FileInfo Class,
I'm working on a little project it is like the task manager but i want it to get a list of all current processes, the path and icon of each. i could manage to get the list but i need to know how to get the path of each and the icon. i'm using a list view to do this. any suggestions?

TortoiseSVN and Dropbox both have Windows shell extensions that make file icons within Windows Explorer show a small icon beside the main one, showing the file's status - has it been synced, etc How can I make my application show icons beside files like that using the Windows API? Or is there some file attribute to do that?

But the trouble is that if multiple users are using the same terminal I cannot narrow down the process list to just the current user. So if two users run the same application simultaniously only the first user can open the application on the same terminal.
was wondering if it was possible to write/read from a programs memory inside of your visual basic 2008 application. I've done tons of research and "googled" everythingt to be able to read/write values of a running process from with my application.I did read somewhere that you can only read/write up to 4bytes in vb.net, That would be just perfect

View 12 RepliesI know this is doable in C++, but I have no idea if it would be doable in VB.NET/C#. This is the C++
DWORD ModuleHandle = ( DWORD ) GetModuleHandle("Module1.dll");
int AddressToEdit = ModuleHandle + 0x12345;
BYTE Buffer[1] = {0x00};
WriteProcessMemory(GetCurrentProcess(), (void*)(DWORD)(AddressToEdit ),&Buffer,1,0);
Is it possible to edit the memory of a Processes' module?
Im wondering if there is some way of monitoring individual processes (read: not mine) cpu usage and ending (asking politely then killing it off) the offending process. I dont know about you, but i've been in multiple instances where i've been unable to get to taskmanager to "choose" process to be killed. For multiple reasons (Either taskmanager has been visible, but a game window is still showing (alt+tab not working), leading to a guess game of clicking processes or cpu usage has been so high that one mouseclick takes 30 sec.)

For some time I've been trying to devise a system that would allow me to keep a large quantity of data stored in memory, which is to be accessed by a main process that I must start and stop a lot. I've tried using a virtual/RAM drive on which to store the data files to speed up data loading when starting the process, and also tried keeping the data in a windows service and using WCF for IPC between the main process and the service to access the data. Both those approaches were WAY too slow.Currently the main process stores the data in tables, and that serves my purposes well once the data is loaded. One thing that I'm wondering is if maybe it would be possible to "orphan" the DT objects by the main process and "adopt" them by the service when the main process is shut down, and do the opposite when the main process is restarted. That would obviously be pretty efficient.Is there any way of doing this in VB.Net without any non-managed code help?

View 7 RepliesAll I've been able to do is create the form. We have to get information off of a website and load certain information back into the textboxes on our form.
Assignment 6 - Text Parsing Many applications require you to extract information from a block of text. We will be using this heavily in the project. This project is designed to give you some practice extracting information out of text files. You will need to open up a file, search the file for some specific content, and then copy that content and place it on screen.
Go to Jobs.com and select a state that starts with the same letter as your last name (if there is no state that starts with the same letter, use the second letter, then the third letter, etc.). For example if my name was 'John Byway', since there was no B or Y, I would pick a state starting with W - either Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, or Wyoming.
The idea is you want to extract all the jobs information out of the page. We want to put the jobs names in a combo box, so the use can pick any of the jobs. Ideally, this would also show the information about each job. You don't need to do that. However, you do need to extract the information and put it on the screen (When you load the next job, the old job information will be lost, and you will be left with the information about the last job loaded)
Tasks
1. Go to the above address, view the source in the browser, copy and paste it into a text file. You do not need to access the Source of the web page within your application.(in IE go to View / Source; In FireFox go to View / Page Source)
3. Extract each job title and place the name in the Combo box.
4. Find and extract the following fields. Note, some jobs may not list all of these. In that case, get as many as are presented.
a. Date
b. Title of job
c. Company
d. Location
[code].....
Indicate on screen how many jobs you found. Note, you only need to look on the first page of jobs?
Just installed VB 2008 Express and I got black icons.
I've tried restarting/reinstalling, but doesn't fix the problem.
how would i count how many icons the desktop has on it? and if i could can i read them
View 1 RepliesI have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.
View 2 RepliesI've found all sorts of threads about extracting file icons, and I'm able to do that no problem, but I would like to also extract some other information from a file (like you can find in the properties window), such as the file description.

I am trying to take specific information from a web page and then process that information so that it can be sent to a label or text box.Previously, I had wanted to do this by using Regular Expressions. I've looked around and it seems that using regular expressions to parse information isn't always the best way because website aren't always coded to standards.Regardless, learning regex isn't working out too well for me. So, I was wondering if there was another way to do this?I was thinking that I might be able to use the web browser control. It would be ideal to be able to see the page in the form, select the information, and then be able to display it.
View 8 RepliesThe method I'm currently using to extract html and the parse is via a WebBrowser control. I'm grabbing a collection of tags, sorting through the ones I want, and then pulling the innertext.
Doing this on my development machine is kind of slow, but manageable. At max, I can go through 60 different web pages across 3 different sites. It takes about 5 mins on my machine.
However, this app is targeted towards machine that have a quarter of the technology that my computer has. So, it takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes. This is less than ideal.
Does anyone know of any other method that I could do that would take less resources and perform a lot quicker?
I'm currently using a webbrowser control to extract information from multiple websites. At any given time, my application could be searching through 1-80 different webpages across 1-4 different websites. On my computer, it runs pretty quick. I could go through all 80 sites in just a few minutes. But when on another machine with fewer resouces, it runs awfully slow. Taking up to 15 minutes. Which kind of beats the purpose, but not entirely, of my application.
I'll begin by explaining my methods, and go from there. When utilizing the Webbrowser control, I use While statements and Application.DoEvents, instead of the Webbrowser controls's DocumentCompleted event. I'm wondering if this is one thing that could be slowing down the process. Though I'm not sure why it would be. Also, would utilizing separate threads help with this? I can't imagine it would boost performance. But I'm not entirely sure. I think it bogs down because the application uses so much memory when running. On idle, the application uses about 9.5k memory. When running, I've seen it go as high as 110k.

Im Using This Code To Convert Image To Icon , But The Icon File Quality Is Bad, How I Can Increase Its Quality..[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a base form which has toolstrip. I am loading few icons to the toolstrip through the code as given below
mnuFind.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSearch.ico")
mnuSave.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSave.ico")
This code is in the form load event of the base form.
At the design time the images are displayed in the form.
The problem is in the inherited form. The inherited form is not loaded in the designer window. It gives the following error.
The service System.Windows.Forms.Design.IEventHandlerService already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType
Some times it says it cannot find the image in the installation path of Visual studio.
If I remove the icons loading in the base form it works fine.
