VS 2008 - Use "Go To Desktop" Function That Goes Directly To Desktop Without Minimizing Any Window
May 17, 2009I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

View 3 RepliesLocate An User's Desktop?
Feb 2, 2010I am making a program that stores all information that is entered into a directory and then zips that directory onto the C drive. It is working perfectly fine, but I think it would be easier for the user if the final directory was zipped onto the desktop.
Is there a way that VB.Net can locate the user's desktop and then zip the directory and place it on the desktop? For example, zipping it to "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop" would work on my PC, but it may be different on a user's computer.
Any Way To Locate Desktop Path For User On Another PC?
Jun 1, 2012VB2010. I'm trying to figure out how to locate the desktop path for a user on another pc/server. Something similar to:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)
The main reason is we area talking about an Environment that has XP, Win Server 2003 (TS), Win Server 2008 and Win 7. Obviously different path depending on the OS. I need to copy a file to a users desktop and would like to do so without having to hardcode the path as it could change depending on where they are working from.
Create A File On The User's Desktop
Mar 4, 2011As part of a program for class we were instructed to create a text file on the user's computer. The instructions were to create the file to the C: (or the same drive as the Windows directory) but Windows7 requires Admin privileges to write to this directory. It works great if I run Visual Studio as admin, but I'd rather just write to an unrestricted area. For example the desktop. Is there a way to write directly to the user's desktop without knowing the user's username. Right now I'm using this "c:UsersNickDesktopScores.txt"; which works but of course the user's name is different on every machine. How would I go about specifying the user's desktop?

View 3 RepliesDiscover The User's Desktop Folder?
Jun 24, 2011I'm making a little application in visual studio which loads a ROM in an emulator. I have two emulators and 20 ROMs.I made a form and added a few buttons. When you click the Button it opens a new form and closes the old one. Then on the new form I have four buttons: each one loads a different ROM in an emulator. So when you press Button1 this code is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles yellow.Click
Shell("C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesEmulatorVBAVisualBoyAdvance.exe ""C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesRomsYellowPokemon Yellow.gb""", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
It works fine - I click it and it loads the game in the emulator. The bit im having trouble with is the file paths. If I send this application to a friend, it would still look for "C:UsersshiftyDesktop" - but that's on my computer, not his.Is there a way to make the application look for the file on his computer (without changing the file path to (C:Users""his user name""Desktop))
Method To Develop And Deploy A Multi-user Desktop Application?
Sep 17, 2009I have developed an application using vb.net. This application will run on approximately 15 machines at the main office and also roughly 10 machines spread over 3 different locations. I am using SQL Server Express edition in the backend. I deployed the application on the network using caspol but it is extremely slow. The Company Manager's perception is that because a script will invariably have to be deployed on each client machine to configure CASPOL, that the solution is not viable.
What is the best method to develop and deploy a multi-user desktop application?

VS 2008 ERROR: Argument 'Expression' Is Not A Value Value

VS 2008 - Passing Class As Argument For Function
Mar 23, 2010VB.NET is not letting me dance with both feet, or piss with both hands. I've got one foot and one arm tied behind my back at every turn. I want to use this statement in a function:
Return CType(Formatter.Deserialize(FS), DS)
Seems doable, right?
Function ReadFileStream(ByRef FS As FileStream, ByRef DS As Object)
Dim Formatter As New BinaryFormatter
FS.Position = 0
Return CType(Formatter.Deserialize(FS), DS)
End Function
Right? I mean, CType only accepts a class name as the second argument. I can't give it an instance of a class, or it croaks. Yet if I try to pass the class name as the argument to that function:
DataInfo = ReadFileStream(FileStream1, DataStruct)
VB.NET croaks on this, too, complaining that "'DataStruct' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.". It's used as an expression by CType just fine outside of the function. Does the VB.NET legislature provide a clause that allows for a 'Type' to be passed as an argument in a function? Writing all the supporting code ten million times to deserialize a file using CType ten million times in a large application will get very complicated and tricky very quickly. It should be handled by a routine so that any cases and adjustments that come up can be dealt with in one spot.

VS 2008 Sending A Collection Of File Names As An Argument
Aug 5, 2009I need to send a switches and a filename to a command line application.First I'll need to get a collection of files that can range from 0 to an infinite amount.Then I can start the process with the correct switches. Normally, within the command line application, I would specify the specific filename and send it as an argument to the application.However, I'm not sure how I would do this. The names of the files have to be preceeded by a specific switch. I can't remember the switch right now, but we'll call it [b]-f[/f].[code]So, I need to figure out how to send all or each of the file names as an argument.
