View 4 RepliesIn class i saved my program in with load of other test programs for the same assignment and got everything mixed up i finally figured out what was what and loaded the program in Visual Basic. Now my program doesn't recognize one of my forms when i try to access the design view of it. I hit run for the hell of it and the program runs with errors of course but the form1 "the missing one" shows up with all the buttons etc and i can use it.

View 3 RepliesHaving a slight permission problem with Win 7 I am guessing it will be the same on Vista but work fine on XP (yet to try)But my program is sitting in: C:Program FilesCompanyProgram And its trying to create new files alongside itself in the Program Files area but bombing out which I know is permissions. If I go there to create the file myself it comes up with a UAC prompt and when I hit allow it works fine but obv the program can't do that byiteslf so bombs out.Is there anyway I can over come that without the user having to grant admin rights to the program each time it starts or do I have to write data to another place?

View 2 Repliesi have a program that when you click a button it randomly gets a random line from the file and adds it to a textbox. Well when i give ppl the program it needs to have the .txt file in the same dir right.
But how would i add the file to the program itself ?
Or Add the contents of the file to the project ? maybe a class or something idk.
I 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.
View 1 RepliesI want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.
Okay, that's not a big deal... I'll implement FileStreams and read bytes performing operations on them. The problem is that if I do this, the program will hang until the hashes have all been calculated. I want the program to show the hashes calculated so far and a progress bar. I know I need to implement this using threads and interrupts, but how, P.S. Any example code, simply for showing the progress of any operation, and involving a thread,

I am trying to retrieve file details from files in the Program Files folder. I receive an error while trying to retrieve file details.
Dim sFileName As String = ("%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe")
Dim Info As FileVersionInfo
Info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(sFileName)
Msgbox(Info.ProductName.ToString())
I receive file not found error at 3rd line. But if I change the path from "%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe" to "c:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe" it works fine.
What should I do if I want to retrieve file details from the path which includes a "%" character?

I'm using ASP.net (just learning) with VB. I can't seem to get Javascript code to work with ASP VB code. My main problem seems to be that .js files are not loading. In the example, basic.js just contains a function click() that calls an alert() message. How do I get .js files to load with ASP code?
I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

i searched for stuff to load files/forms, in this case forms from a combo box... this is what i have so far, except it doesn't do as it should..
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Select Case ComboBox1.Text

also, is it possible just to click the item in the combo box and have it automatically load up the form?
I accomplished the task of creating a picture viewer that finds pictures in a directory,adds them to a listbox, and displays them in a picturebox at intervals using a timer.

I have a problem when trying to show details of XML file by choosing an item from Combobox. I have two XML files, called Employee.XML & Subject.XML. The format is like below
<Employee>
<EmployeeID> </EmployeeID>
<Position> </Position>
[code]....
The Combobox contains Employee and its Position also (eg: A1 - IT professor). When I choose an item in here, its Subject details will automatically show in Textbox (one EmployeeID can have many subjects). I cannot use Combobox.SelectItem because I already set Option Explicit On & Option Strict On. I also make EmployeeID by ascending coming up with its position. How can I show details in TextBox by using Subject.XML? I tried many methods but none can work properly.
I have in my form 2 RichTextBox , one Listbox , one OpenFileDialog and one Button . In those 2 RichTextBox I would like to load two (*.RTF) FILES .
Application Steps :
1- When I click the button , an OpenFileDialog open .
2- I choose those two files (*.RTF) and when I press the OK in OpenFileDialog, the path of those two files are written in the ListBox as Items.
3- After getting the path of those two files , I would like to load them into those two richtextboxs .
The problem is that I don't want to specify the richtextboxs names in order to load the files . What am I saying ? I.E : I don't want to use that code : "RichTextBox1.Loadfile(Listbox1.items.item)" When I debug my application : everything goes well , only when the listbox items are loaded in the richtextboxs control I get only one file loaded on those two richtextboxs. Right Now I have written these codes :
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "RTF Files (*.rtf) |*.rtf"
