I'm lending a copy of my .exe on a memory stick and because I dont completely trust them, , I would like to build in a function that as soon as my app has finished doing what its doing And the big red X is hit it will delete itself, but my problem is that i cant put the deletetion in the form closing because the prog is still running, so what should I do? Is there a way that I can get the app to close as soon as the dedicated task is complete, It will remove itself from the memory stick but if the X is hit before the process is complete the then the prog will remain.
View 14 RepliesI am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
Here is the code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
[CODE].............................
I have this in my form closing event:
For Each FileFound As String In Directory.GetFiles(App_Path() & "tmp", "*.txt")
File.Delete(FileFound)
Application.DoEvents()
Next
For Each FileFound As String In Directory.GetFiles(App_Path() & "tmp", "*.txt")
File.Delete(FileFound)
Next
I used to run through an ultragrid with a for each loop and that took forever, I stumbled accross this way and it's much faster but I noticed today I still have some straggling .txt files after the form closes at times. Is there a way to actually verify all the files have been deleted before closing the form?
I ran the same for each loop twice to work it out but not sure if that works or worsens it. Also, I'm not entirely sure what that application.doevents does as I initially thought it would finish all above lines before continuing but that does not seem the case. Anyway, these .txt files files are about 500KB and up to 1000 of them at any one time so it's not instant but it's still pretty fast, faster then looping through a grid.
I want to make a very simple program that remove duplicate domain name from a txt file. First, it must have a Open file Button so that it can load list of url to Listbox.
So, the URLs will be loaded into listbox. Then It has 2 more button Start and Save button Lastly one counter to calculate how many URL in that listbox
So example.. let say I have a txt file which contains URLs
[URL]
I open this txt file and loaded it into listbox (can scroll)
Then when I press start button, it will delete the URL that has same domain name. so the output will look like this
[URL]
Then I can save the URL from listbox to my disc drive as text file
Is there a way to detect if a file is being deleted,
1) Using the Del key
2) Using the Shift+Del keys
3) Using the above keys from a remote computer through a shared folder
And instead of deleting move it to another folder in the same computer. Basically when a user tries to delete a file or folder it should move it to a specified folder instead of deleting it.
I need to execute the following commands from my application:

It seems like it should be pretty simple, I take in a file name as a parameter, create a new name for it, delete it, then try to copy it back from an older version of the same file, and update the connection string. However, it continually tells me that "The file 'filenamehere' already exists." If I set overwrite to true then it goes through just fine, except it doesn't actually copy the file. Obviously I also check the folder, and the file does in fact Not exist...I've also checked all the file paths and what-not, they are all accurate.

View 7 RepliesI'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.
