Copied A Folder With A Project Renaming The Folder
Dec 17, 2010I have copied a folder with a project renaming the folder. I have then browsed and opened the project in the VB.Net 2005 IDE. I have then renamed the Assembly, root namespace, solution and project, searched and replaced all instances of original name, cleaned, rebuilt, tried deleting the bin and obj folders and rebuilt. But every time I run the newly named exe, when I try and start the original exe along side it nothing happens. it still thinks that the old exe is the same process? Both solutions are single instance applications. Why does it still think they are the same. I want the renamed copy to have slightly different functionality to cater for a different type of user but can't get both exe's to run at the same time which some users need. I can't see anywhere I have not changed the name for the new version.

Apr 23, 2012i am currently creating a quick and easy way of renaming files in a specific folder, what i need to do is create a program that will populate a listbox with the names of all the files in a specific folder, then i need to be able to select each item in the list box and rename it with whatever i type into a textbox, but it also needs to rename the file in my selected folder with whatever is typed into the text box...
I have done the initial bit which populates the listbox with the names of the files in my folder:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Renaming Files - No Errors But Not Renaming Either
Feb 6, 2012I have looked around the forums and found a few discussions on this, but none that address my issue.
I want to rename a folder of jpgs with their datetime original from the exif meta file. The line: My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(foundImage, NewPictureName) does have the all the right info: the original file folder and name; and the new picture name - it just doesn't actually do the task.
Here's the sub:
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
lblSelPath.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
For Each foundImage As String In _

VS 2008 Mass Renaming Of Control Names?
Jan 16, 2011I'm making an art program involving 8x8 squares on a grid, but there are 64x64 grid square PictureBoxes for each grid square. Meaning there are 4096 picturebox squares to be setup.
I'm having them names like pic0001, pic0002, pic0003, etc... but re-naming them individually would take me forever.
Is there a way to mass re-name them at once?
VS 2008 Program Not Renaming All Files 'selected'
Jul 15, 2009I have a program that will rename files that the user selects. The problem is even though when you go through the whole process, and it works successfully, it doesn't rename every file.To all people new to vb, try not to code like this as it is about the worst way to use a loop. I was in a hurry last night so i took the easy way out [code]Again, bad coding practices throughout the whole project, but the program will probably only be used by my dad so it will do.Note that the form: "Name and Ext" will not be shown when the program is all finished. I only had that visible for now so that i can check to see that everything is executing correctly.

VS 2008 Renaming Multiple Files / Array?
Aug 25, 2009I have to rename a bunch of folders in different directories. What I would like to do is type in a directory and rename/move files into another directory. I have 4 txt files right know, one for the old file names, one for the new file names, and 2 for the directories.
I planed on importing the txt files into 4 arrays and then using the rename function to change the directory going through a loop.
Problem is I'm very very new to VB and have no idea how to import each line of the txt file into the array.

VS 2008 Obtain CRC32 Checksum Of Files Within A Folder Then Rename Files And Folder
Mar 4, 2010in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.
View 6 RepliesBug In Renaming Program?
Oct 4, 2010I'm trying to put together a simple file renaming tool which is an addon to another program. In the main program, the user loads file names into a list box then selects them and does certain things with the information. There is also a picturebox on the main program that will show a thumb of the file image.The renaming addon will go into that same folder and rename those files. When the original file names are in the list, the renamer program malfunctions on the filename(s) that are selected and or the file being shown as an image in a picture box in the original program.It's like a file sharing error, though that isn't what it says. It just refuses to rename a couple of the files and I assume that is what is happening.Is there any way to have the original program allow the renaming, then refresh the list? Or in the alternative, how can I get the original program to "let go" of the files so the user can rename those files without the hiccup, then possibly refresh the list with the new names?

Apr 10, 2009I made a vb.net project called "TestProject" and I set it to save in the directory "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\TestProject" I want to rename my project to "CompletePC", along with the folders the project is stored in. so the name would now be "CompletePC" and it will save in "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CompletePC" I want the name of everything to be "CompletePC" ?So far I changed the assembly name and Root namespace to CompletePC in VB.NET and outside of VB.NET I made a new folder "CompletePC" and dragged every file into it and deleted the old "TestProject" folder, I then went into my project folder and changed the project name to CompletePC. I then deleted every file i could find with the name "TestProject" after previously saving and compiling the now named "CompletePC" in VB.NET. (saving and compiling should have made new files with the name "CompletePC" thus rendering any file with the name "TestProject" useless.
View 1 RepliesRenaming A Running Exe?
May 10, 2009I'm trying to update an .exe using vb. The main app checks for an update, and if it finds one downloads it. Next it call another app, and quit. The 2nd app tryes to rename the 1st and rename the downloaded file to the name of the 1st. I'll explain in code... (app 1 and 2 have a manifest requiring administrator access UAC).
App 1: myApp.exe
- Check for update, if exist download it like myApp.ex_
- Then call App2 and exits.
App 2: update.exe
Threading.Thread.Sleep(6000)
Dim filename As String = "myApp"
'Delete myApp.old if exists
[Code]....
I could also determine that the problem isnt related to permitions, because i can from update.exe write files in c:program filesmyapp.
Is it possible that App 1 remains "connected" with update.exe, and update.exe cannot rename, delete ou move it?
Adding And Renaming Tabs?
May 7, 2011Well, this time my target is to add and rename Tabs with tabcontrol, e.g.
I have a form and have added a TabControl to it and in the TabPages i have added RTB's,now i have also added a button which should add a new tab page to the TabControl, the thing is i know how to add a NEW tab but i also need to have a new RTB in each New created TabPage and after i create a new TabPage i wanna add the Title of that New TabPage. To add New Title to the New TabPage i have created a New Form in which i placed a TextBox so that that text that i type Into that TextBox should appear as the New TabPage Name.
Here's some code i tried, and i know that there's missing something and i know that the code may be written wrong but that's all i know, unfortunately?
Code:
Private Sub AddNewTabTool_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddNewTabTool.Click
Dim rtb As New RichTextBox

Moving And Then Renaming A File
Apr 19, 2009I am using Process.Start to run a command line application. The log for the app is automatically saved in a predefined location that I can not change. Also, I can not specify the name of the log.I need the log to go to a specific directory and the be renamed. I thought I could do it this way:[code]When I run the code, it tells me that it can't fin the file "Test2.txt". When I isolate the code and only run the first part, it moves the file to the second directory just fine. It only errors on the RenameFile line.

View 7 RepliesRenaming Labels At Runtime?
Jun 14, 2009I have 20 items (various well materials) on the form. Each item can change in rank from 1 to 20 depending upon the current future pricing. I need to add the name of the Material to the Label and then store the GUID of the material in the Tag Property. The user can enter quantity wanted of one of 3 conditions Junk, Good, New. I've got it where I can save the data from a static form - in other words I control sequence from 1 to 20. However, the users want it to show the materials based upon the daily changing sequence of future pricing. In other words material1 may in sequence 1 today but sequence 5 tomorrow and sequence 15 the day after, etc. The field LOLSeq is automatically updated at 4:00 am each morning before the users start. I can organize the data set by the sequence but I am unable to cycle through the dataset and load the info into a changing label. Labels are named Label1 to Label20 and I have tried such things as
Label & "rowndx" & .Text and a dozen combinations without any luck. My code is below and of course as it stands everything goes into the first label. Any assistance is appreciated.

Moving, Renaming And Linking Pictures?
Aug 24, 20101.I want the user to be able to select a Picture by clicking a button which will then open an OpenFileDialog (Opening the my Pictures Folder without the user having to navigate there.)
2.When selecting the picture and clicking on save the picture must automatically be moved and saved to a folder in My Documents called "My Recipes".
3.At that same time the picture must automatically be renamed using the Title and ID of the record being edited ending up with a name like "Nick's Milktart 237.png" (preferably with a space between "Milktart" and "237").
4. The last step to this process is that a link, URL or hyper link (I'm not sure what this is called) to this picture in the "My Recipes" folder must be created in a SQL database.
Renaming A File On Remote Server?
Jan 29, 2010I have built this utility to upload/download files to an FTP server with a few options which will be taken from a command line. One of the options is going to be rename file. But this would be done on the remote side.
Basically, only tmp files will not be caught has hazardous on this FTP site during upload. So the file gets uploaded as tmp and will need to be renamed to .zip and vise-versa.
I know how to do this locally as it is not hard to use the moveto function, but how would I do this assuming, the ftp stream is already opened and read/write access is properly granted?
