View 2 RepliesI 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 have XML coming out of a DB with CDATA tags. When I use the SqlCommand's ExecuteXmlReader to populate an XmlReader, it seems to strip the CDATA tags from the XML. I need those tags to remain.

View 1 RepliesHow can I retrieve a number of images from a directory on my website, and place them in a directory on my computer. An important consideration is, that this is not private, so these would be images in a public directory. One more thing. I would like to do this using an http transfer. I have never written anything like this before, so I am not even sure where to start.
View 6 RepliesWe are trying to retrieve PDF files stored in a SQL Database. We want to display them on a web page. We are using VB and ASP Code within Visual Studio 2008. We have found snippets of code, but because we are new it does not make sense to us. We are looking for infomation on how to retrieve the PDF from the database and either display directly to a web page, or write the information to a Temporary PDF file we can delete later.
View 1 RepliesI know how to get a list of files in a local Windows machine's specific directory:
Dim dirInfo As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("C:Temp")
Dim fileListing() As FileInfo = dirInfo.GetFiles()
But how do I use this class for a mainframe system where user ID, password and 'change directory' command are needed?
When I attempt to just access the server without credentials and just do the Windows version and use the syntax "\server_nameAUTO:RPTS.", where 'AUTO:RPTS.' is the mainframe directory name I get the following error: "The given path's format is not supported."
When I just use '\server_name' I get: "The UNC path should be of the form \servershare."
I have a database table where the user marks files to be downloaded. Subsequently, I browse this table and need to create a fileList to pass to an ActiveX downloader. My routine works locally and on the server for ONLY the first file. I know my logic must be bad, but I cannot find it. All of these files are always in the same server directory which is as follows:
"D:inetpubvhostsWebSite.comsessionVideos"
Sub (GetFileList)
Dim dtVideosSelected As New DataTable

way to retrieve list/rename hiddne files from the remote host. I need to upload the file to a server and then move it to another directory, but the file after being transfered becomes hidden. If I try to rename it any way I get the dreaded 550 in response. I would hate to move to commad line scripting which at the moment seams to be my only option.
View 4 RepliesI have a process that's going to initially generate 3-4 million PDF files, and continue at the rate of 80K/day. They'll be pretty small (50K) each, but what I'm worried about is how to manage the total mass of files I'm generating for easy lookup. Some details:
I'll have some other steps to run once a file have been generated, and there will be a few servers participating, so I'll need to watch for files as they're generated.Once generated, the files will be available though a lookup process I've written. Essentially, I'll need to pull them based on an order number, which is unique per file.At any time, an existing order number may be resubmitted, and the generated file will need to overwrite the original copy.
Originally, I had planned to write these files all to a single directory on a NAS, but I realize this might not be a good idea, since there are millions of them and Windows might not handle a million-file-lookup very gracefully. I'm looking for some advice:
Is a single folder okay? The files will never be listed - they'll only be retrieved using a System.IO.File with a filename I've already determined.If I do a folder, can I watch for new files with a System.IO.DirectoryWatcher, even with that many files, or will it start to become sluggish with that many files?Should they be stored as BLOBs in a SQL Server database instead? Since I'll need to retrieve them by a reference value, maybe this makes more sense.
I accidentally submitted it before realizing that I probably should have selected the "Visual Basic General" forum. I am attempting to retrieve file properties of all files in a particular folder. I have used objFolder.GetDetailsOf... to retrieve the desired information of Excel workbooks saved in Excel 2003 format, but I cannot retrieve the information from files savied in Excel 2010 format.

I am building a vb.net application with VS2010. The aim of the application is to change sln. files from VS2005/2008 versions into VS2010.I am using a Form with 2 text boxes and 2 buttons. When I click the 1st button it reveals the sln file in the text box. Then i have a 'convert' button that I want to use to 'convert' the file that appears in the first text box. I have come quite far with the source code but am just a bit puzzled as to how i can retrieve the VS2005 sln files and to get the 'convert' button to display the text in the 2nd text box.[code]

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 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a form that will have 1 textbox ( ID#)and 2 Labels (First Name)(Last Name)(And other stuff)The form will get the data from an access document.
What I want to accomplish is that when i enter the id# in the textbox the firstname and lastname will appear in their labels.i want them to appear automatically when i click on the next textbox, not by button.
I want it so something.txt is on my website, and has various lines like something=1 or 0. When the .exe file starts, it checks that. I specify what value to check (something1, something4, etc.) and if it = 0, the form closes. Basically, so i can disable the .exe from being used using this online file.
