On our intranet website, I need to give option to user to specify the location where they would like to save files. The files would be generated by a background process. Is there a way user can specify the location? I can not use FileUpload since that requires file to be specified. I notice that FolderBrowserDialog is for clientserver vb.net app and not asp.net.

I've made an alternative to the MdiWindowListItem for window navigation in an MDI application. It consists of each window being added as a toolstripbutton to a toolbar, similarly to the Windows taskbar. I don't use any of the mechanics I should probably use, such as for loops catching each child window etc etc. Instead I look at window titles and do a lot of string manipulation and using counters etc.
I'd like to get rid of my method and use something a little more technical. I'd like to have the same effect, but to be able to add toolbar buttons relative to the MDI children as opposed to looking at window titles and such, because I've also got a plugin system that allows users to create their own windows and add them as mdi children. But, if a plugin is added, it doesn't get added to my toolbar taskbar thing because the titles are all user defined and I cannot control them.
So, basically, I want something exactly like the menubar's MdiWindowListItem feature, but using my toolbar idea. I want all MDI children to show up in it, including the 3rd party windows.

View 3 RepliesIm currently developing an app, in which there is a list box which will contain between 200 and 3000 items. These items are loaded into the list box from a .txt file. Now on the same form i have Picture boxes x 6 Textboxes x 5..The contents of which changes with each list item selected, and to do this i have the code attached to the list box, heres a snippet of the [code] but at the moment with 178 items on the list the total code is pretty big, and i get the feeling it would run faster if loaded dynamically.Am i right in thinking that? Especially when the list has 3000 items, thats alot of code to have attached to a listbox.And how do i go about making the code dynamic, im looking round the forum and seeing ADO database mentioned alot and that seems to be the answer at least for the text fields, would that also work for the picture box fields?

View 3 RepliesI'm writing an app that reads zip files from a folder and then displays them in a listbox. As a user clicks on one of the zip files in the list they can see a particular file that is located inside the zip archive in a textbox. The way I'm doing this now is to read the files from the folder and store the zip file name and the file associated with it into a two dimensional array. Kind of like this:
Dim a_files(500, 1) a_files(0,0) = name of zip file in folder a_files(0,1) = name of a particular file in the zip file The problem is that there may be more than 500 files so the array has to be scalable. I know you can use 'ReDim Preserve' to resize the right element on the fly, but I need to resize the left element. I've looked at collections, but I can't see an example where they can be multidimensional. Does someone know of an alternative way to store these values that would have the flexibility I need?
I have a vb application ive been working on and its pretty much complete. I posted in the asp section but we couldn't get it figured out there so im reverting back to vb so looking for some help.I have a vb.net app I created and I have an internet browser embedded in it calling an asp page. the asp page is just a simple file that searches an access database. I used the asp page because I wanted to display the results with graphics and tables so I used html for that.Everything technically works except I am running it on a local intranet and the asp file is located on a server that is REALLY slow so it is taking 20-30 seconds to get my results. so, my question is, Are there any other options or ways I can do the search within the vb app itself so everything stays local and I don't have any speed issues. I can't install IIS on the local computer because the IT department is strict unfortunately.I don't HAVE to use "html" but I would like it to look nice with graphics and html was the only way I knew how to do that.
View 6 RepliesWell this listbox contains sensitive data not very important but i dont want the end user to be able to see what the listbox contains, therefore i have hidden the listbox But my question is how do i store this information i could easily write it to a text file i know but the user could locate the text file. So i attempted to create my text file as a resource and that failed as i can read from it i cant write to it. More simplistic question. I have data i need to save from a listbox but if i save it as a text file the user could still access it and i dont want the user to be able to acesss the file i would like it to be internal because i also dont want the user to be able to delete the file?

Do anyone know if its possible to set the rootfolder of a FolderBrowserDialog box to only show my network places (xp) / Network (Vista). It's not available as a Environment.SpecialFolder in vb.net.
like the dialog you get when selecting map network drive -> Browse in windows explorer, see screenshot below.
is there away to create a new environment.specialfolder to a self created folder? So I can use this as a rootfolder in the FolderBrowserDialog?
