I use OpenFileDialog to select a file to delete. I use [code] to delete the file. Now if i click "ok" it will delete the file. ace one. But if I click "Cancel" i get an error. [code]
View 2 RepliesI 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.
I'm trying to get the path of a file or folder and return it as a string.
I can get it to work with just a file using or OpenFileDialog or just a folder using FolderBrowserDialog. [code]...
I have a VB/C# .NET 2.0 project that, if possible, I would like to customize the OpenFileDialog box to select a directory rather than a file. The reason for this is because the FolderBrowserDialog is ugly and a pain for most of my users to navigate using.
I know how to filter extensions using OpenFileDialog, but is there a flag or variable I can set that will allow me to only show directories and select those directories that is built into .NET? And if not, what is a good third party dialog to use/where should I begin if I am to create my own?
How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.
View 6 RepliesIf 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
Lets consider a text file stored in
C:New FolderSample.txt
Using openfiledialog box I will select Sample.txt, but how to select the path name, i.e.
C:New Folder
How to get C: New Folder
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?

View 3 RepliesI made a program (As usual) that plays media files using the ax.interlop.wmp.dll (windows media player). I also made a listview on the form that has gridlines. i have a problem with my mutiselect feature though. it just adds the same filename for every file, but in the amount files (Ex: if there is 8 files, it adds the name of the first one 8 times) i just want it to add every single filename to different rows, here is the current code that i have:
Sub openFile()
With OpenFileDialog1
.DefaultExt = "Mp3"

I am trying to select a folder in a very similar way that we do using "OpenFileDialog". I searched for different sites and did find something but all of codes were tweaking "OpenFileDialog" and selected files..... I have seen applications where the select dialog box does NOT show the "File Type" as well as the "Open" button has "Select" name on it. Any idea how to get such dialogbox?
View 8 RepliesI've spent FAR too long trying to troubleshoot this simple operation.I want the user to select multiple files in an OpenFileDialog (called OpenFileDialog1), click OK, and then have the filenames display in a listbox (called ListBox1). When I run, the openFile dialog allows the user to select mutliple files. However, on clicking OK, the dialog repons allowing the user to select only a SINGLE file. Then, it throws an "outside of array" exception.
[Code]...
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 was thinking that maybe if you tried to send the file to the recycle bin it would always allow that. What would the correct code for :

I have a routine that will check a text file for a line to be deleted and deletes it when found.

View 3 RepliesI am writing a simple program that I'm going to use to end a process and then delete a folder with its contents but, I am running into some errors when I try to delete an .dll file using Kill. I would have figured this out on my own but its being weird.
1. If I run the .exe it doesn't delete it and gives me and error
2. I i run the .exe as administrator it doesn't delete it and gives me an error
3. If I run visual basic 2008 as Administrator and then execute the program it works.
4. If I try and execute it again as Administrator under Visual Basic it doesn't work and says I don't have sufficient access.
What I am trying to do is End a Process so that I am able to delete the folder, the folder contains and .dll which is being stuborn and saying I don't have sufficient access to do this.

what is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.
The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.
The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts
How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.
An email can be saved to HTML. When saving it to the name test the file test.html is created and a directory test_files with files in it. When deleting test.html with the windows explorer the directory is deleted too. When deleting test.html with the vb command System.IO.File.Delete the file is deleted but the directory isn't. Is it possible to delete the html file and directory with one command?
View 3 RepliesI tried searching for this issue but the search gives me a database exception and I'm kind of at my wit's end. I'm sureEver since I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional I've had constant build problems with VS 2008. I can't use the Hosting Process (not that I normally do) because at build I'll be notified VS could not copy a support file (the hosting exe). In addition, every time I build I'm told my previous exe is in use by another process and cannot be accessed. My only recourse is to manually delete the file. That works a few dozen times but eventually Windows stops letting me delete it and tells me that I require permission from an Administrator to make changes to the file (I'm the administrator, stupid machine).
