I'm creating a program that creates new directories and subdirectories in the "C:Program Files" folder, and the operation fails if the user has the User Account Controls enabled in both Windows Vista and Windows 7. Is there a way I can give my application permission to automatically create these directories without requiring the user to turn off the User Account Controls?

The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.
I'm creating that sets up project directories based on a template and also allows users to select folders from the template to add to a selected path (their project dir). I've got everything figured out as to creating the directory initially except for 1 thing that ties into another (stick with me here). I'd like to create the directories based on a text file or some sort of config file. Essentially, I would have a text file that contains lines like:
oot
ootsub1
ootsub2
[code]....
etc. Then when I create the directories, I can create them based on these lines. I think I can figure that part out myself. Where I'm stuck is on comparing the selected dir to the template dir. Right now I have a treeview control with checkboxes that is populated based on a path that the user selects from the folderbrowserdialog. What I need to do is compare the selected directory with the directories in the text file and if the directories exist (match) then they are checked. If they don't exist in the selected directory then they are unchecked.
If a user wants to add a directory from the template, they check the box for the dir they want and uncheck the boxes for the ones they dont. Then hit apply and the app will either create or delete the checked/unchecked dirs. What's the best way to handle the template dir? Should I do the text file thing or should I simply have the directory structure setup somewhere where the app can copy the dirs from the template to the selected directory? Or should I use an ini file? I want to make the app flexible so that down the road, if they change the template layout, or where the template lives, the app can be told that. So I need to add a way for the users for example to choose the template directory (but not everytime!) or specify the path that the template dir txt file lives.
I'm having trouble creating a new directory for a registration form. When I try to execute this, the directory stays the same as it was and I have no idea what the issue is. I've tried altering the If statement in a few ways to try and produce the same outcome, but I can't figure a solution.
Private Sub OK_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
clearVar()
txtUser.Text = newUser
txtPass.Text = newPass
If (Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & newUser)) Then System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & newUser)

I am using Visual Studios 2005 and I am creating an application for our IT Security.Part of the program is for documents and procedures. What I am trying to do is automatically create a menu based on the folders and files. So far I have it taking into account the base folder and one subfolder level and files within it, but I want it to automatically also take into account any subfolders and files that may be added at a later date without having to replicate the code below for each new level. My code is as follows, it is very messy as I am not a programmer.
Code:
Public Sub ISMSMenus()
Dim clsMenuName As ToolStripMenuItem = CType((My.Forms.FrmMainScreen.TSMISMS), ToolStripMenuItem)[code]....
I need to list all files folders, subfolders and subfolder files under a selected directory in a list box not sure how to do the logic in the last amount of code lines to enumerate all subfolders dna files.Here is what I have so far:
Dim OldProfileDir As String
Dim NewProfileDir As String
Dim Newdocs As String = ""
Dim Olddocs As String = ""
[code].....
The simple line:
Enabled = False
Leaves the user no options to do anything with the program.What I want is to disable everything using the given line (or if anything else), but leave a Menustrip enabled.
I try to send a email by a website but the send button become enabled only when I press a keyword on my keyboard, the app insert the text in the form but the button remains disabled.
I think I need activate the textbox in the website also send a key for activate the button but I don't know how do this.
For example when the app insert the text into the subject box and into the message box the button remains disable. But if I enter a letter by my keyboard button becomes enabled.
I am using this code for insert text:
For Each Unit As HtmlElement In main.wbrowser.Document.All
If Unit.GetAttribute("title") = "Subject" Then

I have a page in VB.NET that is hosted with IIS 7 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The page has code in the Page_Load event that scans through a directory and adds all sub directories to a drop down list. When testing through VS2010, it works perfectly. However, when I set the site up in IIS, the page loads correctly but nothing is added to the drop down list. My current code is: [Code]

I'm re-doing a small application I made a long time ago. It's similar to CCleaner, where it scans specific directories and removes temp files.My old application worked, but it was messy and only had a handful of locations. The new version has a ton more locations and files, but that creates a problem with how the original app was designed.In the old app (I made this a very long time ago) everything was just jammed into the main class, including variables, methods, etc. There wasn't a whole lot of thought put into it.Now, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make this class so when I'm done, I can release it to the community and it be easy to use.The main problem I'm having is how I should set up the methods. There are so many different types of directories and files, that I'm not sure if I should create a separate class for each method, or have a bunch of methods in one class or have one method in one class.
There are some directories that need to be searched recursively, some that don't, some files need a filter and others don't. I think that's the extent that I need.So, what do you all think is the best option so that it will be easy for the end user to just add the directories/files and start scanning?Right now, I have a base class that has two properties. One for directories and one for files, both of which are arrays.Actually, just as I'm typing this, I'm thinking I could create a class that represented a directory and another that represented a file. Both classes would have properties set for them that I could use in the main scanning class. That would allow me to identify what was needed for that directory/file, like recursive searching and filters.

I need an ideea for my directory list.I want to able to navigate from one directory to other with a "next button". Now I'm using a listbox saved in a text file, but i don't know how to make the selection for "next directory".I'm only able to click on the list. And what I thinking was if it is posible to have a better list, advanced, like a table with more columns like: url, if url is valid, pagerank for example, and maby sort by this filtres.
View 1 RepliesAs i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.
Basically I'm going to try and develop a software that merges PDFs automatically using the PDFSharp API.What I want in the program is to basically that: Have the program to give and Input and Output directoryMerge all the documents in the directory or sub-directoryRename the merged PDF file according the the name of the directory/sub-directoryIf the folder has PDF files and a Sub-Directory I want to merge the PDF files in the folder and rename them as per the main folder, and rename the files in the sub-folder according to its name (i.e. seperate|)
It's the first time I'm using an API.The problem I have is how to use the directories and sub-directories as I need them.
I need to find an easy way to know if the local machine's 'automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time' option is enabled.

I have a list of points X(horizontal), Y(vertical), and Z(depth). I want to be able to plot them out so they can be viewed and since it is 3d I want to be able to rotate the image as well. There would be a line connecting each point to the next, until the end of my list. If possible I would also like to be able to click on an individual point on the image and be able to tell where that point is in my list.The problem is I don't have any idea on where to start on this. I know how to create some pretty basic/genaric 2d bitmaps but 3d and some of the features are an entire different story.

View 9 RepliesI'm normally an ASP.NET developer but my latest project has me writing a console app. For this console app to function, it needs two executables, two DLLs, an XML file that should be configured with a WinForm I've developed (so another .exe), and a working folder should be created (for when my console app runs). Further, it would be nice to have it automatically set up a Scheduled Task for batch operation.How do I package the various files into a self-extracting package? I'm playing with WinZip's self-extractor creator and it's okay, but I don't see a way for it to launch further processes, such as creating a working folder for the console or launching the WinForm above.Is there a way to create an auto-extractor in VB.NET where zipped contents are part of the "payload" of the .exe? It seems to me this would give me the most flexibility, as I could write a WinForm that does everything.
