The problem I am running into is the OpenFileDialog box. I am allowing the user to pick an image and I want to save the image location into a column in the database(this isn't the problem), I know how to get the image location and save it...The main problem is this. Each time I open up the "OpenFileDialog box" and choose an image, it remembers the last location used, but after the image is chosen, the program looks at the images location as the spot the database is...To sum this up: Each time I use the "OpenFileDialog" and choose an image, the program looks at the images location for the database instead of in the "Debug folder" (which is were I put the database) So i end up getting an error that it can't find the database. Everything usually worked fine until I used the "OpenFileDialog"...
In my Thesaurus application, I use a combobox as a lookup for keywords. On the bottom of the form I have a datagridview that displays the synonyms for the currently selected keyword. The problem I'm having is that whenever I have selected a keyword that has synonyms, or in other words, whenever a keyword is selected that populates the datagridview, and at the same time I try to close the form or remove the keyword my form gets messed up.
I have files that start with unique numbers and are word documents. Say the document starts with "1234567" is there a way to make the OpenFileDialog filter to where only all the .doc files that start with "1234567" show up?
I'm recreating an old 16 bit game. I'm creating the chat normally displayed at the bottom.Each sentence transitions in character-by-character.Every time a character is added, I wanted to have it make that little bleep noise. I've got a wav file that contains a short 'blip' that sounds just right, problem is, when I have it do the blip every time, it usually messes up.
small but huge conversion problem i am facing.. i have this code to convert an entire folder from text to rtf and it works swell.then i have this code to convert rtf to text, and that is where the problem is:
Try Dim sourcePath As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(tfcrtfdir.Text) 'rtf selected folder Dim targetPath As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(tfctxtdir.Text) 'txt selected folder
I'm having some problems with a Windows Application where I have deselected the application framework to be able to use Sub Main().I want to use Sub Main() because then I can do some things without showing any graphic interface to the user. Things such as automatic update and checking if another instance of the application is running.After checking these things, I execute these lines to run my application:
vb.net Dim frmMain As New frmMain() Application.Run(frmMain)
I need to run it this way or else the application will close when Sub Main() ends. The Application.Run keeps the application alive until I exit the main thread.However, this causes some problems with a variable, no information can be saved into it, I don't know if it affects any other variables as I haven't noticed it. However, I save a string to the variable and then when trying to compare it, the variable is string.empty.Could it be Application.Run which is messing things up? Should I do frmMain.Show() and keep the application running with some sort of WaitUntilExit?
I am looking for a way to take an image from an OpenFileDialog and save it into a database as an Image, then use the Image data from the database to display it in a PictureBox and set it in an image list.
I have a databse in my project named Members.mdf is there away i can use OpenFileDialog and allow the user to browse for a database on their local machine then have that database loaded into my application?
I want to import an external database to my project using OpenFileDialog, the question is that there is a method of verifying the basic structure of external data is consistent with that of my application
I have an error when converting a text string to date, I've tried all the date conversions I can think of and still get the same error (cdate, date.parse and Convert.ToDateTime) this happens after I export an RDLC report to a PDF. As you can see in the below code, there are 2 identical variables called newDate1 and newDate2, one being declared before the render and the other being declared after the render. The first one works no problem but the second one I get the error: Conversion from string "16/02/2011" to type 'date' is not valid. This now becomes a program wide error and affects every date conversion done in the program, this problem remains until the program is restarted.
In short: CDate converts MM/DD/YYYY no problem, but after a PDF export it tries to convert to DD/MM/YYYY which gives an error
Public Function ExportPDFReport(ByVal ReportPath As String) As String
Dim newDate1 As Date = CDate("16/02/2011")
Dim bytes As Byte() = uxReportViewerRDLC.LocalReport.Render("PDF")
ok, So I can call on the open file Dialog so it can be used. The problem comes when I want to put it to actual use. The idea is that the user pics an image from there "directory" and then it displays in an image box (which is already there) so, how would I use the open file dialog to locate the image and then display it in the image box?
I'm experimenting with adding WPF to my Forms project. As soon as I add the PresentationFramework I get an error for the code block below, stating that
"Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Boolean?' to 'Integer?'"I understand what the error is saying, just not WHY! So, how should I be doing it with WPF included?
With many of the programs that I use, I have noticed that the file dialog boxes automatically enter a new folder (if I create a folder thru the dialog box). But my OpenFileDialog boxes don't do that in my programs.When I open the OpenFileDialog and press the New Folder button, the box stays in the current directory and I am forced to click into the new folder. I have researched the OpernFileDialog and I don't understand how to change this behavior. I want to eliminate this extra click to enter the new folder.
If I am in Word and I say File Open, it displays files of type All Files. If I have a Compressed Folder in the current location, I can right click on that folder and Extract All. Then if I extracted a filetype that Word can read, I can click on the file I just extracted and opened this is Word. All from saying File Open. I want to replicate this behavior in my .NET code. Maybe I am missing a property when I create my OpenFileDialog, but if I right click on the same file as above, I do not get a context menu that will let me Extract All.
This is my .NET Dim dlgZipFile As New OpenFileDialog dlgZipFile.Title = "Please navigate to the location of the input file" dlgZipFile.InitialDirectory = "C:ProjectsFiles" dlgZipFile.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*" dlgZipFile.FileName = "" If dlgZipFile.ShowDialog <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Return False
I want my user to only be able to open files in the initial directory that I set on OpenFileDialog. I have googled a bit and found you cannot restrict, but that was information from a few years ago and I'm not sure what version. Has this control changed at all in VS 2008?
My application is handling it okay if the user does navigate out, but it would be more concise if I could prevent him from doing so in the first place. And the fact that I have found others who wanted to do this also, makes me think it might be a nice property to have built in.

Let's say, when you click a button it just opens a specified .txt file and adds the data of it to a listbox. I mean automatically, without that file opening dialog showing?
I am having a funny problem with OpenFileDialog that I just cannot solve. Using VB.NET 2008 Pro.
Problem: I run my program and click the menu item associated with this OFD and the OFD opens fine. When I select a file and click OPEN the dialog disappears then reappears. I click OPEN again and it disposes itself then loads the proper file into a form. The same thing happens with the CANCEL button as well.
Question: How do I go about coding the OFD to open a file that has been double clicked on thus bypassing dialogresult.OK . I can't seem to find an answer to this.
I am writing an application that will use a OpenFileDialog control that will read a text file into memory and later process it.
I do have the following filter: Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|CSV files (*.csv)|*.csv|Spaced Text files (*.prn)|*.prn|All files (*.*)|*.*"
When I navigate to my test folder that contains a single .txt file, I see that file. When I change the filter to *.cvs that files goes disappears because it has a .txt extension. That is good. But when I select All files *.* it does not re appear? Why and how do I make it appear.
