View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2008 and developing a VB.NET application. I'm having strange lockup problems with my program, but only when Internet explorer 8 is opened.
When I cover my form with another window and then uncover it, I find that it has locked up. My program has no references to IE and the only thing it even has to do with IE is using Process.Start with a web address.
My program works fine and exactly as it should, but only when IE is not opened.
Does anyone know why a program would lock up only while IE is running?
Edit: I've done some digging and I've found the offending thread in my program.
I don't know what starts this thread or what it does, but when I kill it, my program no longer freezes. The thread is one of the CreateApplicationContext threads, here is the last few items in the stack trace of that thread.

I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?

What is tsclient? Is that a driver that is "expressing" itself like a folder structure?How about when you plug a camera or other device in a usb port and it shows as a G: drive, for instance?I'm guessing the G: drive trick is just a "driver" starting up for the usb port that somehow makes itself seen as a mapped drive.Is the \tsclient thing done the same way? Is there some kind of tsclient.exe that runs to do whatever this does?How can I make my own "pseudo" folder structure?

View 5 RepliesI 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.
