Not sure this is a VS specific question - the answer is probably more os related (xp, vista, win7...)But at any rate - how could I go about detecting all the files that are opened while a machine is up and and running??

We have an app that tracks .DOC and .PDF files (and possibly other file extensions). It stores copies of them on a network share. I want to give the ability to the user to allow them to click the file in a listview, for example, and have that file open in WORD or ADOBE or whatever program is associated with that file type.

Is there any way to determine if a text file is currently open in a text editor? Or better yet, is there a way to trigger an event when a text file is opened (from any program)?

View 3 RepliesI just want to write code inside my assembly to detect whether it is running on a "desktop machine", or inside the context of an ASP.NET application. This is crucial guys, (licensing purposes), and I don't want to get fired because I did a mistake.So, please, be direct and if you please give me some code snippet.
EDIT v 2.0: What about using in the assembly:
[assembly: "AspNetHostingPermission (SecurityAction.RequestRefuge, Unrestricted=true)]"

I'm writing a VB.NET WEB application and I'm fairly new at it. What I want to do is open Excel workbooks on the client workstation so the user can "Save As" or print or basically do whatever they want with it past that point. I've done this in a windows application using System.Diagnostics but all the information I've read so far doesn't seem to work. I can open .txt and .xls files using this approach:[code]but it opens in the browser, which is not what I want. Do I need to mix Javascript with the HTML and the VB code?
View 2 RepliesDont know how easy this would be, but basically I'm just wondering if there is any way in VB.net you can close open files on a remote PC.In my scenario the vb.net app would be running with domain admin permissions in most cases so would have access to things like the remote Computer Management console, which of course has the Open Files section in it which lets you close any open files on the remote machine its connected to.So I fugured there must be some way to do it in vb.net... I just dont know if its going to be more hassle than its worth and I dont really know where to start looking (ive used googled but not had much joy).

View 2 RepliesObjective : Time how long a user has been on the internet. I have never delved this deep into Visual Studio. I am suing Visual Basic 2010 Express. Please move it if you need to.
I want to have a program - that will detect running processes. If Internet Explorere EXE or Chrome or FireFox exe or any other browser is installed - as soon as that process starts the timer will appear.
When those processes are closed by the user the timer stops counting. This is possible but i dont know how. But i only want it to time just one internet process because timing them all when they are openend up at different times could cause bugs. Unless on the time form you have 1 timer for IE, 1 for FFox, 1 for Chrome 1 for Opera..

View 8 RepliesI have some code that loops in the background of a form and triggers action if the form is active (this is in a mdi forms application). I use the following to check this:
vb.net
Dim frmActive As Form
frmActive = Me.MdiParent.ActiveMdiChild
If frmActive.Name = Me.Name Then
'Do work
End if
The problem comes when that form starts another form running in dialog mode i.e. form.showdialog. I need the above code not to run while this is the case, but it still returns true when the dialog form is active and the other form is in the background.
Is there any way to detect whether a dialog is open in an mdi environment?

I am taking an Intro to Visual Basic class right now. When we do homework, we have to take it into class and put it into a folder that our professor has.When I save it onto my hard drive and I open it from Documents/Visual Studio 2010/Projects/HW Assignment 1, it opens everything perfectly. But on my flash drive, I have the same set up (E:/Homework Assignment 1) and I am not missing any files. But when I double click on the .sln file, it just seems to open the program without my project (display or code) showing.

My question is a rather simple one and to be honest with you, I am not sure if it can be done. Lets say I have a mutli-line text box, is it possible, and if so how would I go about making it so if I clicked Open with > editor I could do things with this text, such as TextBox.text = [file contents]. If it's not possible just let me know and I'll stick with open file dialogs.
