Currently I am opening a file via this
Dim myStreamReader As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim SourceString As String
myStreamReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(txtInputFilename.Text)
SourceString = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
Sometimes the file I am opening is quite large and I am wanting to have a progress bar displaying the progress as I am opening/writing to a file.
I have created a .wsf file which on opening executes some functionality. I need to open this file in vb for my project to work, but i don't know how to do this.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to delay the start of a text file? I am using this to call the TXT file after clicking a button: (opens txt file)
Process.Start("text.txt")I was wondering if there was a command to delay the TXT file from opening for a number of seconds?I use this to delay the Splash Screen: (delayed 5 seconds)
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)Is there something similar for TXT files??
[code]I'm trying to make it when the button is clicked it opens the txt file that is in the resources.Any idea on how to fix? I keep getting this error.Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'And another question I had was, How do I get it to open lets say...Open the txt file IN it's own folder?

when the program tries to opens an excel file, it always throws me an error "Office has detected a problem with this file. Editing may hard your computer" and my program crushes.......The problem appears on the SECOND line, on DIM wb...blahblah.. i went to the office and unclicked the "protected view" checkboxes.. but it still throws me those errors. my guess is that the office i have in the computer is not the same as the one that my program uses to open excel files (i mean, i loaded/imported some excel.dll files in the program so i guess that will be the one) But how do i make the program not care if the excel file is "potentially dangerous"?

I would like to be able to have my users open an Excel file and include their add-ins they have installed and usually show up when Excel normally starts. Using this code, Excel opens with no add-ins visible:
vb.net Dim excel As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim wb As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Try excel = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(filelocation & "checks.xls")
excel.Visible = True
[Code]...
Is there a property to allow add-ins when opening an Excel file?

Having 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 have a program that can save user's input into a text file and load it back, but whenever I try to open the file and exit without selecting the file I get an error.(if i select the file and open it i don't get any errors).
This is the code that handles text file loading:
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:"
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files ONLY (*.txt) | *.txt"
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[CODE]...
The error is :"FileNotFoundException was unhandled. Could not find file at xxx". also I would like to know how to make it so that the initial file name for file saving is today's date. I do not get any errors when I try to save the file.
I need to open an excel file from vb.net and then search it for specific data. I then need to take those data and insert them into text boxes on a form that i have created. This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.

View 9 RepliesI'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.

First time user on here, basically have been teaching myself VB and I enjoy it quite a bit! Basically I have a program now that has the File Drop-Down Menu with Open and Save options. I want to open and save in a .txt format. The open command will need to place the text in TextBox1 ; and the Save command will need to take the text from TextBox2 and save it as a .txt. I have gotten to the point where it will save it to a specified .txt file, but I would like the user to be able to "browse" the computer for where to open from and save files to.

I am using VB.net 2005 and I have a timer running on form1 that communicates modbus with a relay io board. There should be constant uninterrupted communication between the two devices and that is working until I open the data logging form2 and import data from a large sequential text file. While I am parsing data, the timer from form1 stops communicating with the modbus device. Once the data is done, the timer of form1 resumes communication with the modbus device. Is there some other method I could use to make sure the modbus communication is never interrupted.? Is there a command I can periodically run from form2 while the data is being parsed that will keep the timer on form1running?
