VS 2008 Replacing Original File And Permissions?
Aug 25, 2010
I've got two programs, one is the main and the other is the updater. So far iv'e got it so that the main program checks for an update by comparing its version number with the latest one that's stored as a text file on the server. If there's a newer one, the update program is started and the main one closed. The update program will then use a web browser component to navigate to the download link and download the new version. The only problem I'm having at the moment is, How can I get the new downloaded version to replace the current one in Program Files? and will this cause permission problems?

I've added an FTP client to a batch publishing program that I wrote about a year ago. The batch program "publishes" CAD files from "Pro/E" to "eDrawings". Upon publishing, some of "eDrawings" files are automatically uploaded to an external server via the newly written FTP client.The publisher and FTP client are working great.I'd like to add functionality that automatically changes the permissions on the files I'm uploading to our unix server (RHEL5). When I do this via SSH, I simply utilize a chmod command (i.e. chmod 0755 file.htm).I'm using VB.Net's DirectCast in my FTP Client.Is it possible to change the permissions on the files I'm uploading via FTP once they're on the server as part of the file uploading process?

I 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).

I created a setup project along with my main program everything compiles ok and I'm able to install a successfully. The problem I am experiencing is when I try to install over the previous version. I have set the setup property RemovePreviousVersion to TRUE , DetectNewerInstalledVersion to TRUE and I also increment the Version number and choose Yes when prompted to automatically change the ProductCode.
What I find is that when I install my program, the date on a subfolder changes, I don't expect the dates of the support files to change. but I do expect the date of my main .exe file to change. Unfortunately it stays the same. Running the program also shows that this file was not updated. I have read the MSDN articles on this but cannot figure it out.

Sorry if this seems like I haven't searched, however I have. Maybe I'm not understanding something or maybe I just haven't found what I need. Anyway my question is this.

I have an app I created in Vb2010 (my 3rd VbApp) it is a file converter which works but all it does after convert is... I have a converted file but no file name plus it converts within its own directory as opposed to convert in dir where original file location.
So any clues as to how I always use file to converts name as defa and where the converted file will reside same dir as original file?

I'm trying to put together a simple "file search" app that lets the user specify where to look, what type of files to look for, what the minimum file size is, etc. (I know...sounds kinda like capabilities that already exist in Windows!). I'm running into "access" issues, even with directories that I wouldn't think I should have any trouble accessing.I'm doing something like this:
Dim f As New FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted)
f.AllLocalFiles = FileIOPermissionAccess.Read
Try

friend of mine has no HTML knowledge so I'm attempting to write a program that replaces certain parts of a html file to suit his needs.I've edited the HTML file and marked certain parts with "tags" like this:
#IMAGEURL1# I have a textbox where he can copy + paste an image URL and hopefully the #IMAGEURL1# is replaced with the contents of the textbox.
So can someone please enlighten me to-as how to open a HTML file (there's no textbox to display the contents just yet, I'll add one if needed), find the specified text and then replace it with whats in a textbox.

Below is the part code I currently use to write to a file,
Try
Using sWriter As New IO.StreamWriter("C:Tmp.txt", False)
sWriter.Write(m_Buffer.ToString) : sWriter.Flush()
End Using
Return True
Catch ex As IOException
End Try
But some time this results in error
Access to the path 'C:Tmp.txt' is denied
My question is, Is there a safe way of detecting File access permissions, without handling exceptions, I mean if I can some how check before opening a file for any filehandle opened for it.

I'm writing and application that creates a home folder for a given user. I can set the permissions fine, but on some of the folders I need to remove a specific group/user, "Everyone" would be an example for one of the folders. I can make it so that they are denied from all the permissions on the folder, but I can't actually get the group/user remove.

Just tried to create a new Data Source in VB 2010, apparently I don't have permission to connect to the 'Login.mdf' file I recently created in SQL 2008. Does anyone here have any knowledge of how to surpass this problem? I'm the Administrator of my PC and have full permissions and UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the problem either
