I could find any results on file association. The only one that seemed to be straightforward was for a text file. I'm making a webbrowser. This is the code I was provided for a text file association:
Imports RegistryActions.FileAssociation
Public Class HelloForm
Private ftHello As New FileType(".Hello", "Hello", "Hello World Adjective File", "C:World.ico")
[code]....
How on earth do I make a file association for an html/htm file?
I have a class IContact with various properties some of them being lists of other class objects. I have a public list of IContact. Can I write Contacts as List(Of IContact) to a file as opposed to a bunch of strings I then have to parse? I know visual studio has some data tools in the toolbox and a set of data classes, but I don't know how to use them or if they can help me write all this data to a single file.Second part of the question: I have associated .cms files with my program. But if a user opens the file, what code should the program run through in an attempt to deal with the file? This file is going to contain data that the program needs to read, how do I tell it to read a file when the program is opened vicariously because the file was opened?
I need to clarify these questions, I seem to have poor questions a lot of the time cause I don't get a lot of responses, and when I do get responses, they don't seem to answer my questions, I ask followup questions and then the thread will die after that usually..I seek not answers, but understanding, that I may not solve, but learn. What good is a fish without the skill to catch it?
I have an MDI Windows Forms application (.net 2008) that allows the user to associate various file types with the application. I currently do this with a registry entry something like this, that causes the application to load and access the file name via the command line:[code...]
In the pre-.net version of the application, I used DDE (ddeexec in the registry). If an instance of the application was executing when a file was double-clicked in Windows Explorer, it would open the file without starting up a new instance of the application.
Now that DDE has been deprecated by Microsoft, what is the best way in .net for an executing MDI application to open an additional file when the file is double-clicked in Explorer, as opposed to starting a new instance of the application?
I know there are allot of toppics about this subject, but i cannot find really what i need.
i need a file associations with settings.. so when you click for an example: "PC0210.config" it will start my program with some settings inside the "PC0210.config" File.
Lets say my program needs to give a message box with the PC name when you click the PC0210.config file.
that inside the PC0210.config file is something like: pcname="testPC"my program popsup with: testPC
How would one go about associating a file type with his application? I know how to read the command line arguments but I am not sure how I can "register" the file extension with Windows. Furthermore, my application is a stand-alone executable, so how would I keep Windows up-to-date on the location of my program?
I did a fair amount of searching and all I could find were old articles that didn't explain everything. How can I create file associations to a stand-alone executable in VB.NET?
Under Project Properties, Publish, Publish Options, File Associations, you can set what file associations your project uses. What should I set for ProgID?
My name is Stefan and i would like to know how can my app see that it was started up on a file-associated DoubleClick?I know how to associate the files using the "Registry" method and the "Publish" method.
I was created ".cta" file for my project that file was loaded into my Richtextbox control so I created File associations option into registry all was done but I just double click that file in explorer, my application will run but that file was not loaded into my Richtextbox control. How can I do that...
i have 8 new custom file types which go with my app, i can set them to open with me app easily using this code on a button:[code]But im a little stuck on what to change in that, ive made certain all my new extensions are unique and i have all my icons for each new file type made, i just need to be able to set them.
How would that work? I can't find any documentation in the MSDN.you know how when you open a txt file it opens up notepad and loads the file? how does the whole 'loading the file' thing work in VB?
I have my setup and deployment project is set to make the mailto: links refer to my program. It works with Firefox no problem. Internet Explorer complains that "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed." The mailto link shows as being associated to my program in the windows default programs thing.
Is there anyway I can get a web browser to open / render the text of a RTB without saving the file? I don't want to save it because it contains sensitive data.
I open a word document in webbrower, but some File Download dialog box opens up with three buttons Open, Save and Cancel. I always wants to open the document directly instead to click on open button.
I want to make a webbrowser, but only have it show one specific thing and not the whole page. The thing I want it to show and only show is in about the middle. How would I frame the page, and put it on the webbrowser?
I want to have a single table that represents a person and have a number of other tables (such as Student/Teacher) use the Person table to store information related to a person. Unfortunately the entity framework doesn't seem to like it when I try to add an association between the Student or Teacher class and I don't understand why. The Person table contains a column called ParentEntityID, which equals either a StudentEntityID or a TeacherEntityID. In an ideal world I would like to be able to reference the Person table by going Student.Person.FirstName instead of Student.Entity.Person1.FirstName. The error .Net returns when trying to connect the Student/Teacher table to the Person table is:
Error 3007: Problem in Mapping Fragments starting at lines 265, 289: Non-Primary-Key column(s) [ParentEntityID] are being mapped in both fragments to different conceptual side properties - data inconsistency is possible because the corresponding conceptual side properties can be independently modified.
The actual database I am working with is a bit more complicated and has a number of tables connected to the Entity table, which makes my object model pretty ambiguous and was hoping to be able to clean it up a bit by using the entity framework.I am using VB.Net 3.5 in a web application.
Update...In an attempt to internalize the different types of relationships I can form, I have been playing with this simple example and have come up with the following possibilities:And the reason why I cannot make an association between the Student and Address table is because that relationship is not enforced in the database. If I wanted an association between these two tables I would need to re-think the design of my database. Is that correct?
I have been developing an application for quite some time now. I have decided to create an mdi parent form to hold all the windows I have done so far. Is there an easy way to implement the mdi parent/ child associations rather than to go and declare them each one individually.

I've been looking around for a better WebBrowser object, because Internet Explorer won't load half of the pages I need it to. I've found a Firefox OCX control, however I can't figure out how to use it correctly. Is there any way I can embed a Chrome, Opera, or FireFox object in my program instead of using the default Internet Explorer?

I am trying to trap HTTP Response Codes returned from a web server when errors are encountered such as the 404 error - page not found.From what I have been able to find out on the net, I need to use the NavigateError event status codes.However, I cannot find any examples of how to do this that work with Visual Basic 2010.
I have the problem that alot of people have when using a webbrowser control, where it will no release memory...How do i communicate with IE window that is already open outside of my app?
I have the HTML like below in a webbrowsercontrol, and im trying to get all the email address out of it, so anything with a @ in it.
<head</head> <body> Here is some test testing@myspace.com here is more text email@email.com. </body>
There could be tables etc in the html, but it shouldnt matter. i was wondering if there is a way to check if there is an @ if there is get all text to right and left until space, or any letter or number...?
I had this but wanted to see if there is a better way.I have a problem with the below also, it dosent seem to bring back anything even though i know there are emails on the page
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am in the vb.net Web Browser Control. It really seems very ill thought out and rushed.So; to my question! I have searched all over the place in an attempt to find the answer to this and from what I can see alot of individuals are suggesting that it is better to use the old web browser control from VB6. However, i'd like to try to avoid this.
I am in need of a method to refresh a webbrowser object's IP address. Until now, I've just change the value in the Registry. However, the webbrowser only gets the IP when it is first instantiated (when it first navigates to a web page). So, it will not update every time I change the registry. I know there is a way to simply change the IP of the webbrowser itself, so that it will update the IP every time the command is run in VB6, however I have no idea how to do this in VB.NET.
I have strProxy and I want to load and get the source code.I've heard HttpWebRequest is the way to go for speed, since I will be loading many different webpages with proxies.What is the simplest way to load the webpage with a proxy so I can then scrape the source?
