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.

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.

This is the code I use to open a file:
Quote:
Public filecode As String
Public Sub getfile(ByVal filename As String)
Dim objReader As StreamReader
But I keep getting the filenotfound exception.
I replaced the file source with the actual location of the file and got the same error. I also checked the permissions of the application to allow sharing and remove read only properties.
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??

View 5 RepliesI have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??
