VS 2010 .net Create And Delete Desktop Shortcut?

Mar 24, 2011

I'm writing a vb.net (2010) app to extract a zip file in XP to a specific folder. That part works fine. Now I want to create a desktop shortcut to an application (if it exists I need to delete it first)

This should be an easy to find answer but I believe my eye is beginning to twitch!2 error messages: First Error: "Type expected" On Dim shortCut As IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut = DirectCast(WshShell.CreateShortcut(FileName, IWshRuntimeLibrary.IWshShortcut), == this is a simple syntax error but I thought the type was the IWshShortcut ==

Second Error: On "With Shortcut" it fusses: " cannot refer to an instance member of a class from within a shared method or shared member initalizer without an explicit instance of the class."

Create A Class That Will Allow To Create Windows Shortcut?

Sep 10, 2008

I'm in the process of trying to create a class that will allow me to create windows shortcut; Im using the following PDF file that gives me the shortcut file structure.

Ive been able to successfully load a shortcut file and parse its Lnk File Structure but now Im on the Shell Item ID List structure but I cannot find the Structure of the ITEMIDLIST anywhere

Furthermore I know I could use the Windows script object, but this is a dependency Im trying to avoid if I can, hence writing my own Shortcut class.

Create An Internet Shortcut?

Mar 6, 2011

I have been trying to work on a utility that creates an Internet shortcut to the URL the user specifies and places the shortcut in the location the user specifies.

I found C++ code (which has syntac errors, apparently, so I can't convert it.), VB6 code (which also had a problem being converted), and VBS code (which is pretty much incompatible with everything).

Installer And Still Have An Option To Create A Shortcut?

Feb 2, 2012

I just published a new sample on the MSDN Code Gallery. This may be useful for the community here if you would like to deploy your application without an installer and still have an option to create a shortcut.

This Desktop Shortcut sample allows programmers to give consumers a way to easily create a shortcut for the application. Most installers automatically come with this feature, but some prefer to keep installers lightweight and provide the shortcut manually.[URL]..

[2005] Create Shortcut Without WshShell?

Dec 13, 2007

I need to create a shortcut to my VB.NET program when the user presses a button but I cannot use the WshShell method because all windows scripting are disabled on the systems.In VB6, I was using the following API:

Private Declare Function fCreateShellLink Lib "vb6stkit.dll" (ByVal lpstrFolderName As String, _
ByVal lpstrLinkName As String, ByVal lpstrLinkPath As String, ByVal lpstrLinkArguments As String, _
ByVal fPrivate As Long, ByVal sParent As String) As Long

Would that be a good alternative to create a shortcut from VB.NET, or is there a better way (without scripting)?
