Forms :: Opening Files - Allows Users To Select Picture Files And Then Categorize Them Into Folders
Jul 9, 2009I'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.
View 4 RepliesOpening CSV Files From Code?
Sep 20, 2010I have 19 .CSV files that hold engineering data in single and multiple Arrays.I would like to loop through the Directory that contains the files and open each file, fill the array and close the file and continue to the next in Alphabetical order.
This code tells me how many files I have now and will update if I add more.
Dim FolderPath As String = IO.Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "DATACSV Files")
Dim TestFolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderPath)
Dim FileCount As Integer = TestFolder.GetFiles().Count
FileCount give me my number of files but not sure how to continue. I have the code to open and read the file but not how to keep changing the file name for each new file name base on the number of files that exist.
Opening Files With Program?
Apr 4, 2011I'm making a flash player and I've been trying to figure this out for months now and have posted several different topics but none of the answers fixed my problem. I already know how to set my program to the default program for flash files on the computer, but I can't actually open files with my program without having my program open and loading it from the open file dialog in my program.

Opening Files With Alternate Programs?
Dec 4, 2009I am writing a program that stores filenames, along with a lot of information about the files in a database. I need to be able to open these files in three different programs from my application. One of these programs, AutoCAD is the default program for the files, but the other two are more difficult. These two need to open the file in a program that is not the default for the file type. Eventually, I'd also like to allow users to point the application to the instance of AutoCAD, MasterWorks, or FeatureCAM that they want to open. I have found articles that explain how to open a file in a default application and articles that tell me how to open any application with a file name, but only 1 suggestion of how to control the program used to open the file. For some reason I cannot get AutoCAD to recognize the file I feed in if I use this method though, so I think it's wrong. This is the method I found that doesn't work:
Start("D:Program Files (x86)AutoCAD 2007acad.exe", file)file is a variable that contains my file name. Since this works fine when I take the program path out, I know the filename is correct, but AutoCAD says it is not.

Opening Password Protected Files?
Jun 18, 2009I am programming using VB-2005 on a Vista Based machine. I am trying programmatically to open a PDF file that is Password Protected. I have worked out the steps required to open a non-protected PDF. Adobe tells me that it is not possible to pass a password to the PDF using the objects that come with the PDF Control. My question is can this be done in some other way, e.g. with WinExist etc.? Is WinExist and other such commands even available in Visual Basic?

Mar 17, 2010Ok hard to explain this one, it may be the codeproject addin i added recently or its a setting i have changed somewhere but when i'm debugging my app opens up many .cs files, kind of interesting but when i want to step through my code it goes into these files and when it errors it has no reference to where the error actually is. sometimes these files being opened have errors on them which i have had to correct for the code to work.
Has anyone seen this before and what could i do to stop it, i wish to confirm that it is this addon before i remove it (which i will do if it is this addon causing this).
VS 2010 Opening And Saving .txt Files?
Sep 1, 2010First time user on here, basically have been teaching myself VB and I enjoy it quite a bit! Basically I have a program now that has the File Drop-Down Menu with Open and Save options. I want to open and save in a .txt format. The open command will need to place the text in TextBox1 ; and the Save command will need to take the text from TextBox2 and save it as a .txt. I have gotten to the point where it will save it to a specified .txt file, but I would like the user to be able to "browse" the computer for where to open from and save files to.

View 3 RepliesOpening Project After Moving Files To New Computer?
Dec 4, 2010I am having trouble opening my vb.net 2005 project from a backed up copy on a hard drive. The original files are on my old XP computer which I no longer have access to. I am trying to open the project in vb.net 2010 on Win7. I have converted the project to vb.net 2010 and when I open the file, nothing shows up, when I try to open them, it tells me the form isn't found in the project directory because it's been moved or deleted. I know that the software on the hard drive didn't back up .exe files, I'm not sure if it did back up other kinds of files. I don't want to restart the project because I've spent over a year on it and have written over 3000 lines of code on it.
View 5 RepliesPrevent File Opening (temporarily) On Certain Files
Jan 21, 2012I want to prevent file opening (temporarily) on certain files. I've tried encryption, which is fine, but a bit slow for my purpose. The actual end product doesn't have to keep some computer hacker type from getting in, just the lay user. I was wondering if it was possible to encrypt only part of a file and reverse this after or what options I had.
View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Registry - Opening Multiple Files?
Mar 27, 2009I have made a registry entry as follows: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMy AppShellOpenCommandAnd gave it the value: "C:Program Filesmyapp.exe" "%1" "%2"I also had a drophandler to for the apphis entry works fine for opening one file that is dragged to my app's icon. The problem is that I can only drag one file at a time into the app. If I try to drag more, it only ees the first file and ignores the others. I use the My.Application.CommandLineArgs array to access the command arguments. For example, My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Item(1) will open the file. If I change the registry entry to:"C:Program Filesmyapp.exe" "%1" "%2" "%3"This will open the first two files, but ignore the rest. If I change the registry entry to "C:Program Filesmyapp.exe" "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"This will have the same behavior as the previous entry and ignore all but the first two files.
View 2 RepliesOpening Excel Files - Force It To Read As Text ?
Jun 11, 2010Application using ado.net
When reading data from an excel file the driver tries to detect the data type of a column based on the contents of that column.
Once it's decided on the datatype then data that is not compatible with that datatype is simply ignored and returned as Null when you read that column using ado.net
For example if most of the column contains numbers then the occasional cell containing non-numeric data is returned as null.
Is there a way to force it to always return all data as text no matter what the actual column contains. ?
