I am running into an issue when retrieving a folder size.
'This does not work when I insert %TMP%, If I insert an actual path like C:Temp, it works fine.
objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("%TMP%")
Am I missing an import or something? I currently have no imports.
I want to retrieve a folder path when I right click on a folder with the mouse. If I use
Code:
FileIO.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory
then i only get the current folder and not including the folder I right click on...
Is it possible to retrive this path?

I created a script for caching some images my program needs, so they aren't downloaded from the web everytime. But the cache folder is getting big, and it's getting big fast. It's not really the plan to have a cache of 1Gb or something like that, so I would like to create something like this to set the maximum size:
But I don't really know were to start. Sure I can create some check, and if the maximum is exceeded, remove the whole map, or the oldest files. But maybe the oldest files are the one's used the most.
i need to display the size of a folder but if i sum file.lengh by file.lefth it takes to long,is there a fast way to see how much space a folder uses?

Using VB 2010 Express, I will try to explain what I want to achieve:1. The user installs my program.2. In an Explorer window (Vista/Win7) the user will right click any file.3. The program checks if there is an item called "MyApp" in the context menu (i.e. the menu with for instance the "Open with..." item). If not, then create the "MyApp" item which launches "TheRealApp.exe" that the user installed. Place the item after the "Print" item.
View 1 RepliesHaving difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?

I am trying to retrieve file details from files in the Program Files folder. I receive an error while trying to retrieve file details.
Dim sFileName As String = ("%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe")
Dim Info As FileVersionInfo
Info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(sFileName)
Msgbox(Info.ProductName.ToString())
I receive file not found error at 3rd line. But if I change the path from "%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe" to "c:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe" it works fine.
What should I do if I want to retrieve file details from the path which includes a "%" character?
I have an app that calls a DLL, and passes a string to it (by reference). The DLL then fills the string and passes it back to the app. Before calling the DLL, the string must be sized correctly to fit the data the DLL is going to pass it. In the past (using VB.NET 2003) I just initialized the string with the correct number of spaces. This always seemed silly to me and I'm wondering if, in VB.NET 2010, there is a way to do this using a number to define the size?

how to get the "size on disk" value for some folders. Getting the "size" is not a problem but in this case, this folder has the "compress content to save disk space" enabled. This "size on disk" is really important to find as some folders on the disk have quotas and checking only on the "normal" size gives some values that are exceeding the quota. i.e. quota is 45 MB. Folder size is 47 MB. Folder "size on disk" is 38 MB. Based on the first "size", no more file can be added. Based on the second one, not true.
View 4 RepliesI'm currently developing a ticket support system. For the client interface, details are sent to a database. So far i have tested it on my home computer and computers at school. At home when I try and display the local ip in a textbox, it gives this address (****::****:***:****:*******), but at school it gives the local ip (172.16.4.32). When i change the code to retrieve my proper local ip at home, the school one changes to something completely different. I'm guessing it has something to do with an array of ip's. How can i get it so that i can get local ip's from both computers without having to rewrite the code.[code]The number in red is what i always have to change.
View 1 RepliesI need to create a VB.net app that automatically reads a html table. It should connect to a web address (eg "[URL]") and read it. I'll be happy if I could just get the full HTML. I was able to use this code to get the HTML of a regular website:
Dim strReply As String = "NULL"
Dim objHttpRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim objHttpResponse As HttpWebResponse
objHttpRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]")
objHttpResponse = objHttpRequest.GetResponse
Dim objStrmReader As New StreamReader(objHttpResponse.GetResponseStream)
strReply = objStrmReader.ReadToEnd()
This code sample will give me the HTML for the website [URL]. However it will not work with the website I want (eg "[URL]"), because when you access it via regular browser it will popup a browser dialog asking for credentials (user / pass). So when I run the code above for it, I'll get the exception:
The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
How do I set this up to use the credentials, before retrieving the HTML? This is actually my first web-related app.
On my website I got a page that generates a random word... now I want to fetch that word and store it in my vb application.
How can I fetch the desired word and store it in let's say text3.text ?
