Forms :: Determine A Dynamic Drive Letter For A Directory On The Removable Drive And Then Open That Directory In An Explorer Window
Feb 19, 2009First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.

Msword - Open Word Document From Dynamic Directory?
May 27, 2012I have a program for which I have developed a user guide. I have placed this user guide within the project directory. I created a MenuStrip Item by which to open the user guide in Word on the user's machine. I was successfully able to do this with the following code:
Try
userGuide = MSWord.Documents.Open("C:UsersadministratorDocumentsVisualStudio2010Project3UserGuide.doc")
MSWord.WindowState = Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateNormal
[code].....
The problem is, the path used to open the file will not exist on the users machine. This is a standalone system, so no file share can be created in which to place the document, therefore no common path can be coded.Is there a way to code dynamic paths? Perhaps something like:
userGuide = MSWord.Documents.Open("%windir%UserGuide.doc")

View 3 RepliesOpen Directories To Compare Directory / File Names And Other Properties?
Aug 16, 2010I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?
View 8 RepliesDisplaying The Directory Of A File In A Textbox?
Nov 17, 2011What I am trying to do is create a rather generic file opening form.
I am creating a visual basic form to prepare a file to open. I want the user to select the open button, get the dialog to open the file, then I want the exact file path for the selected file (C://Users/text.txt) to be pasted into the the textbox immediately below the button. The textbox is also to allow the user to type the directory that they want to draw from. So he actual opening of the the file will commence once another button is pressed, once the directory has been decided upon via either the openfile dialog or by pasting the address.

View 11 RepliesOmit Directory Path From An Filename In Textbox (Chilkat)
Sep 13, 2010I am a new developer in general and decided on VB.NET for my first language. So, I decided that I should write a basic FTP client since the types of apps I plan on developing later on will incorporate file transfer. I imported the chilkat dll as a reference to my project since the FTP seems to work great. Anyhow, I've designed my program with separate interfaces for sending and getting files (see attached screenshot).
The problem here is that I use an openfiledialogbox to select the local file to transfer to an FTP server which this populates the textbox with "C: ext.txt", but chilkat wants the filename without the C:, or I receive an prohibited file name error when executing the send button. So basically I just need a way to store the filename text.txt without the C: extension so I can specify THAT name as the "remotefilename" which Chilkat will understand. The way I'd really like to do it is to have my send button remove the C: from the existing textbox and just leave the filename there - that would be fine.
I tried to research this and found that the path.Getfilename may be used for this, but I'm not totally sure how i should go about it. Here is the code of the Send button for my FTP Program so far. *By the way, this program works 100% if i just create another textbox, take the filename "test.text" and reference that as the remotefilename.
