I'm quite new to programming and I am working on a project. The aim is to automatically run a backup process once a removable drive is inserted.So far I've been using this piece of code[code]....
This obviously only runs once unless I use a loop or timer, however both of those will cause the backup process to loop as well.
First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.

Does anyone know of a way to contain a nonbreaking space in an html tag to allow me to remove it based on conditions tested during runtime in the code behind?
Basically why I need this: if a condition is satisfied I will have 4 buttons, but if it's not only three. I can remove the button but then I have 4 in-between 2 of the buttons instead of just 2 .
Something like the <del> tag would work if it didn't strike through the text.
Basically I have something like this(propery values not included for simplicity):
<td><button />  <button />  <button />  <button /></td>
I can't have the function in the actual button tag because then it will render the   instead of the button text.
I seem to be stuck here. How do I loop through all the drives? (This question has been resolved)

View 6 RepliesI am writing a program in VB 2008 and need to search for SD Card Slots and monitor them. When a card is inserted I want to check for a files and folders and make a button active to upload the data. I take it this needs to be working in the background as I want to be able to perform other functions while monitoring fo the drives.How would I do this and can you check if a removeable drive is SD/MMC, CF, MS, etc?

View 3 RepliesI'm not sure if this would be this right place to post this, or even if I should go about trying to do it through my program itself or through the computer's settings on the final EXE file, but anyways, here goes.
I have a synchronization program that syncs my flashdrive to my home computer and (hopefully) my flashdrive to my personal folder on the school computers. What I think would be easiest, though, would be if the program was located on the flashdrive, and would simply "autorun" when I plug it in, instead of having 2 separate instances of the sync program running at school and at home.
Would it be easier (or possible) to code for that from within the program, or with the EXE file's settings?
I'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code:
ComputerName = "."
Set wmiServices = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName)
Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _
("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive")

I'm currently writing a program which has a requirement to reassign drive letters if a drive with a particular volume name is plugged in to ensure that it is assigned to the correct drive letter.

Using WMI (and it's code creator) it is easy to find the name of the physical disks on the computer.
vb.net
Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher("rootCIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskDrive")
For Each queryObj As ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
MessageBox.Show(queryObj("Caption").ToString)

Tried to google how to get the drive letter from each of the disks.
I am trying to run a visual studio 2010 app from a windows 2003 server machine that writes xml files to a folder stored on a remote windows 2008 server. I mapped the server drive and can access the folder manually but in the code the 'access is denied' error is hit when the file path declaration is hit for that 2008 server folder. I checked the access writes to that folder and made sure it is shared for that user. Also the user I am logged into on the source server has admin rights so should it not be able to access the mapped drive through the application?How do I grant my app access to that or any folder on that drive on the remote server? I had this issue before but cannot remember what I did to clear this up.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.

View 14 RepliesI have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.
The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.
My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.
