Im trying to make a game launcher, and I want to have it first see if there are updates. I know this is a really simple problem, but I can't figure it out. This is the code. I want it to read the link.txt and version.txt in the same folder instead of C:/ Oh and make it so it unzips the update into the same folder, and replaces the old files for the new ones.

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'm trying to write a program where people can click a browse button, click a file to copy, and then click a second browse button and click a destination folder. I've tried
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(TextBox1.text, TextBox2.Text)
and get the error "Could not complete operation since a directory already exists in this path 'C:UsersSamDesktop'."
FileCopy TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text
gives me "The target file "C:UsersSamDesktop" is a directory, not a file."
Both methods work if I put C:UsersSamDesktop'filename'.'extension' in the destination. But I want the user to be able to select the destination without having to type a new file name.

View 1 RepliesI have a program that reads the version of a program off of a txt file in the program folder and off a txt file hosted off a site and compares them. If it's different it downloads the update, if not then you can use it. My problem is when I update it. It doesn't replace the version in the file. How would I update the version on the txt file in the program folder when it gets updated.
View 7 RepliesI'm unsure if this should be in Office Automation or here, but I opted for here because I'm creating a VB.Net program to handle all of the office automation and my questions are a combination of the VB.net portion and some of the VBA formatting. At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients. [code]Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this. Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?
Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?

I have a folder including 200 eng files which can be opened by notepad. And each file has around 4000 row; with 60 field seperated by coma. I need to read specific row-field value at each files.
Now what I can is:
a) reading individual txt files and find specific value
b) listing all of the files in the folder
c) I can merge (a) and (b) and read all the files automatically, but since ram is continuously increasing, and at one point (sometimes 163, sometimes 169, or 170. files or something) it gives an error as "System.OutOfMemoryException". My ram is 4 GB and when I get this error the ram is increasing to more than 3 GB.

in my project, i want to read an ini file - i.e. C:xyz.ini
ini contains:

I can read through usb - i.e. phone id : "89820089" Now 8982 should = to NU48F512 as we have it in ini.
I have a vb.net project that has 2 exe's that get built as well as the installer. The two exe's share a bunch of common files. I do not want to have two copies of the common files or mess around with having build events that copy things around (if possible).
My method was to create two projects in the same folder and have them point to the files they needed. This appeared to work until I tried to compile both apps at which point I get an error in a file called Application. Designer.vb. It seems that project files create this file in their folder and when I have two solutions in the same folder they conflict. So my next effort was to create the second project in it's own folder and just add the items as needed. The problem here is that VS2010 doesn't hold a link to a file in a different folder it copies the file to the new project folder. What is the vs2010 way to get this done?

I have a problem and hope someone have idea to rsolve it. I have a file and inside the file the format is like that :
123.567 456.789 12.345 223 223 221 223
123.555 456.788 12.344 223 223 221 222
123.456 345.678 456.234 445 445 445 445
total line is 3456789903. I want use vb console application to read the line and every 130000 line create a new output file.
I need to read lines from file. Now my code is like this:
Sub data()
Dim reader As New IO.StreamReader("log.txt")
For i = 0 To 1500
date(i) = reader.ReadLine
Next i
End Sub
Now if some user will change add or remove the data from this file, it will end up with error or sth. I also tried to write sth like this:
Open "C:in.txt" For Input As intInFile
But there appears an error, that open is not declared and IO functionality is microsoft.visualbasic namespace. I added this name space (at the top: Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic), but this error still occurs.

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.

[Code]...
I can't get it to work using this code, when I run it it uses about 100% cpu and all my memory. What code can be used to read a text file this big?
I created an application that I use when deploying packages which allows users to postpone it from running until they are ready. There are two text boxes that contain restart warning messages.
Is there a way I could use an external file such as an INI where I could place a different message? If the app could read the messages in the text file at runtime and place them in the appropriate text box, it could make this app a little more flexible.
As it is now, if managers want the message changed, I have to change it in the source and recompile. That is not a good way of accomplishing the change.
