VS 2008 : Add A "resume Download" Feature To A Program?
Apr 21, 2011
its possible to add a "resume download" feature to my program as something doesn't seem to be right when I want to download the latest videos from my server.The application will download most of the video, but will then stop at random times. After the download has stopped, no more data will be received. Thats why I need a "download resume" feature in my application, so the whole file will be downloaded and corrupt files aren't being saved.
Here's my so far
Private WithEvents wClient As New WebClient
Private Sub wClient_DownloadProgressChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Net.DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs) Handles wClient.DownloadProgressChanged
[code].....
I was thinking of adding a timer to my project, and if data has not been received for more than "x" seconds, the file will in a "paused" state.The next step would be "resuming" the download so the file is downloading again.
Other Notes:The files download fine in IE and chrome.The files are around 5MB to 30MB in size and upto 10 minutes in length.
I'm a newbie and trying to make a VB downloader using Public Shared client As WebClient = New WebClient client.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri(FielUrla), saveDialog2.FileName) I'm not sure is this the right approach, but I've found info about this method. Now I want to make "Pause download" and "Resume download" buttons but can't find information how to do that.
For Each item In lbFiles.Items Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo p.FileName = "java"[code]....

Ok major problem with a paint program i am making. When i have a window overlap or anything and move to side of screen and minimize and maximize i lose whats in the picturebox...Here is an example of the code I use to draw a line after click a button:

Question: I catch generally unhandled exceptions withAddHandler System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException, AddressOf OnUnhandledExceptionThe problem now is, with this exception handler
Public Sub OnUnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As UnhandledExceptionEventArgs) Console.WriteLine(e.ExceptionObject.ToString())
I used the search, Could not find something on auto starting the program from download, or auto run, I'm not sure what it is exactly called, that might be why I didn't find anything.
i have made a program and added a update check button.If an update is available it lets the user know and if they click update a hidden webbrowser goes to the download address like:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://mydomain.com/myprogram.exe") End Sub Well this works and prompts the user with a file download dialog(default for windows)
But say they have "myprogram.exe" on there desktop and try to save the new updated one there it will ask to overwrite and thats fine but the program is in use as they have click update.
1). Whats a server? are they web based or locally on a pc?
2). I've made a program and want to make updates for it and put them on the web for download, Do i need a server to do this?
3). How do i make updates work on visual basic 2008, i mean ive made a program and i want to put it on the internet but i also want to bring out updates, apparently i can use visual basic to automatically download updates and install them. What do i need to do this? where can the updates be downloaded from on the internet? will a file share like rapidshare work?
was wondering about making a download program cant seem to find much on ie a download manager or something like flashget could someone point me in the right direction
I'm trying to add a feature to my program that makes it so when the cursor moves off of the form, the form drops in opacity, making it sort-of transparent. However, it's not working for some reason.
Private Sub hovertimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles hovertimer.Tick If MousePosition.X < "0" Then Me.Opacity = 60%
Is there a way to disable the new VB 2010 implicit line continuations feature in Visual Studio 2010. We are using an TFS 2008 built service which doesn't support the new feature (sources in VS 2010 without errors getting built errors in TFS 2008 built service / we cannot update to TFS 2010 built service).
I have a thread running on my application that checks a database every so often to decide whether or not to update nodes in a treeview.
Each treeview node represents a document and I have an open button that opens the document for the user.
When the document is opened, I wanted to suspend the thread that refreshes the node list until the document is closed.
I have MyThread.Suspend and MyThread.Resume. But the document viewer is on another thread.
I created functions for suspending/resuming the thread in the application. I have delegates in the viewer to call those functions from another thread. But I'm still getting an Error. "Thread is not user-suspended. Cannot be resumed" or something of the like.
But I realize that Suspend and resume are obsolete functions, so what class or objects should I be looking into and if it didn't take up too much of your time, a small example as well?
I have created a resume parser which as it stands now, opens word documents and parses the content for specific tokens. It also converts the doc into html format but my problem involves natural language processing. I was told to use the SharpNLP in order to recognize specific phrases, these are typically of the type:
Ok, I haven't started this yet, but I'm just thinking out loud for a project I have coming up.
One approach I am thinking about pursuing involves "messaging" my application (windows form in VS 2008 pro) from a mobile device, whether it be a laptop, phone, pda, etc.
is this possible? (1st question) and what is the "correct" implementation to do this? (2nd question)
The idea is to remotely disable the email sending feature of my program by the user (owner of the application) to kill email alerts if they are not at their computer.
I am very very new to VB.NET and would like to ask a simple question. I want to create a vb.net program and allow visitors to a website to download this program. However, I prefer not to have visitors download a zip folder. I would like to have a program that just gives a prompt to save in a selected folder, once the saved file is selected it prompts the person to download, and then when finished prompts the person to run the program. The reason is twofold:
1. I don't like the extra step involved with unzipping the file. and 2. I don't like the visitors having to look for the "main" file program within the new downloaded folder. So is there any way to have just one file for others to download without having it in a zip folder?
What do you feel are best practices for the use of Option Infer in your projects? In Visual Studio 2008, Option Infer is a directive that allows the compiler to infer the datatype of a declared variable by looking at what is assigned to it. This is a key feature in VS2008 and is used extensively with LINQ statements and queries. However, turning on Option Infer may create pitfalls for future maintenance programmers.
I have a question about application settings.Is it possible to update application settings or are they read-only?
If I program an auto-login feature, am I able to store the login details and use it next time user logs in. Would them settings remain after application is closed and opened again?
I am trying to utilize the DATAbase Diagram designer feature of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and I get the following messages:
1) This database does not have a valid dbo user or you don not have permissions to impersonate the dbo user, so database diagramming is not available. Do you want to make yourself the dbo of this database in order to use the database diagramming?
2) When I select YES I get the following notification: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user xxx/xxxxxx, error code 0x54b
I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?
NOTE: I want that app files are installed to Hard disk( from USB stick source)Is the signing recommended or necessary? My App is pretty simple, its just using access DB + printer api, should I still sign?
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 need Microsoft Visual Studio: Installer 1.1, where can I download it and why doesn't Microsoft still have it I know someone in IT has it. Then if it can't be downloaded from Microsoft why does this site [url]... still list it as being available for download. Doesn't anyone at Microsoft archive their old software just for the purpose of still having it around. If Bill Gates only knew what Microsoft has become since he drop out the scene he would be disgusted.
I have looked almost everywhere on the internet and I cannot find a way to download a file from the internet into a specific folder that works with VB.NET 2010. I would like to download a file called, for instance, example.txt, and download it into, for example, %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup so that it will run automatically at system startup.
