My current method was overwriting the file with a file from My.Resources, but that's only good if the file is really small in size... Is there a better way to patch files? For example. Lets say I have 2 100 MB files. If I were to use my current way, the EXE would be at least 100MB. I basically want to make a File Patcher that can patch a large file without the patcher having to be a large file.

View 6 RepliesIs it possible for my application to check if its been modified?
e.g. Could i compile the app and use a 3rd party tool to calculate the MD5 checksum of the compiled exe - and inside the app, code it so that if the MD5 checksum doesnt match then run the deactivation process?
I know its not foolproof but if it makes it slightly more hassle to crack my app i'd rather have it
Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?
I have a program that can save to a .txt file.The issue is I need it to be done in a tab delimited way.Basically:

I have this so far, but all it does is put the TextBox1.Text next to TextBox2.Text

Alright here's my situation: I have a form. This is a very small form that can be moved with the mouse (formborderstyle=none). The transparencyKey is 0,0,1. The form back color is 0,0,1. There is a label on the form. I drag files to this label(its backcolor is black[0,0,0]). What I want is for the filesize to be checked. I already have the uploading to ftpcode, I just want to know if the file is above my limit I set. (250mb per file)

View 10 RepliesI'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I am trying to run a fortran .exe in VB with the Shell() command. The fortran .exe, when ran, it asks you for a file name. It works perfectly on it's own, but when I try calling it through VB Shell(), it does not work.. (i.e. I cannot get VB to get the file name in it.)
Added info:I am using VB9 but I'm writing in compatibility to .NET. As for the Fortran .exe, when you call it, it opens a command window where it asks for a file name (which I got as a string in VB and I'm trying to pass it in), then you press Enter and it's done. Basically the .exe takes a text file and creates a new text file. We've also tried adding & mystring when calling the exe, but it gives a "file not found" error.

I'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.

I have managed to learn a little of VB 2008 but I'm still struggling. I managed to convert one VB6 program to VB .net but all the file IO in it is sequential access.I'm trying to convert a VB6 program to .net. This program uses almost entirely random file IO.In one of the books I have, I found an example which, with a minor mod worked. I tried using that code to modify my program and it does not work. In my code, the FileGet results in the obj containing null strings. Yet in the sample program using the same structure, the obj contains actual data.The file is being opened because the record count is calculated correctly [iUpper = LOF(F_Trk) / TrkLen].
I used a Type in VB6 which I converted to a Structure in VB 2008. The function in which the problem occurs is below as well as the Structure declaration and the Function it calls (PAB) which is a derivation of the PathAddBackslash API call.Is there an easier, more efficient way to achieve the same results in VB .NET?[code].....[code]......
