I'm trying to put my resource in the temp path instead of my local path.
here's what I have so far:
Dim TempPath As String
TempPath = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath
Dim ResourceManager As Resources.ResourceManager

problem is, nothing happens when I click my button.
How to get the file path of the Temp directory (% temp%)? I use Visual Basic 2010

im planning to do a midi player; I've tried it via the included .NET and DirectX component, both needs a path to the audio file (String)....
how do I get a path from a resource file?
ps.: there's also a way to play via a stream-link/stream-player, where
my.resource.<filename> is enough, as this declares the directstream.... but I really need to get a path.
I have a resource file named WonderlandManifest, and the filename is WonderlandManifest.exe. I want to extract it to a temp folder and then run it.
But the code I have doesn't extract it to the temp.[code]
I have an array of people stored in a custom structure array... how can i copy this array to a temp array so that the temp array has all the same values as the original custom array?
View 4 RepliesAm trying to copy contents of file temp.fxl to temp.seq. I want them to look exactly them. I don't want to copy the file though. I use the following code
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\fxlate\output\temp.fxl", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim s As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code].....
With such simple code, the last line in temp.seq is truncated as attached and the size of the file is smaller than temp.fxl. See attached files. What do I need to do on the above code. Is VB.NET failing to write 1024 characters on one line.
In our Vb.net project , we have included 2,3 PDF as resources.Requirement what we have is that when a user clicks on the download button the user should get the save dialog box where he can select the path to save the resource file.
We wrote the following code but we are able to save only in specific location.

copying an embedded resource file to destination path? Initially i tried CType(GetObject("program.exe")) as the source destination for IO.Path.Copy to copy the embedded resource to a destined path, however this produced errors.
View 12 RepliesIn my desktop, I have folder containing some word document files. I want the filenames of the documents in that folder. So, I used:
Dim strFiles() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("X:Documents and SettingsXXXDesktopvvvvv", "*.doc")
All filenames are stored in that array. But it would also include the temp document that Word generates. I am somewhat confused on how to remove this from array. I only need full filenames of the actual documents, which excludes the temp document.
Is it possible to save into temp data a user made class? I have a class with many structures and each structure contains variables and im trying to add to my program a way to save the data of that class object with its structures and everything is that possible? I tried manually making some sort of save but its taking too long and proving way too hard for me. Is there a way to just convert it into some general object format and save the object? Is that possible can you just save undefined objects without having to create a format manually for that object?

I want to create a Resource-Only DLL so that I can use it in conjunction with desktop.ini files.All of the information I've seen so far, however, has been with C++ libraries. The steps outline in that URL don't seem too difficult, but I would rather create it in VB since I'm a lot more familiar with it.
With that being said, does anyone know what I need to do in order to do this with VB? The C++ instructions don't carry over well.I've been looking at DropBox because they do what I'm looking for. Except instead of using another library, they use the DropBox executable and set the IconDex appropriately. That would be ideal of course, but I can't find a reference point for the IconIndex, for starters.

I have a text file that has thousands upon thousands of URL's in it. I wrote a program to go to each of these links in succession (via For loops, obviously) and to grab a piece of information from them.Now to the problem. When I get to about 2300 or so, I get the error "COMException was unhandled by user code. The requested resource is in use. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700AA)" at the line "WebBrowser1.navigate(linkstocheck(i))"
I set linkstocheck = all lines of the text file. I get the same error even when I get the link directly from the lines of the text file. Does anyone know how I might go around this? Maybe catch the exception, wait half a second, then continue where it got the error?
I need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
I have a massive collection of resources saved inside my program, added using the VS editor and I want to be able to enumerate through them. Is there any way I can do that?
View 4 RepliesI've added multi-language support to my application by setting the Localizable property of each form to True and changing the Language property to the desired one. Then I change the Culture.
vb.net System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE")
VB automatically creates the resource files and this works all fine, but now I need to do something similar for Strings and MessageBoxes, e.g. MessageBox.Show(My.Resources.Exit). Everywhere I read that I need two resource files in order to do this, but I can't find where to add a second resource file myself.
Every forum post or google search result I found says, go to 'Project -> Add Resource', but I don't have the "Add Resource" menu option. Or they say, right click on your solution and go to 'Add -> Resource (RESX)', but I don't have a "Resource (RESX)" menu option either. When I go to 'Project -> Add New Item', there's no 'resource' option in the list either. Am I blind or does VB2010 Express not have an option to add resource files manually?
I am using the code ol' Formless posted in this thread:[URL]..To load an animated cursor from a file. The code makes use of an API method that requires that the file actually exist. That's possible, but far from ideal. I would rather add the cursors to the resources of that module. Therefore,

View 2 Repliesmethod to export a resource (an .accdb file) at runtime ?I've had success in exporting image files by using :-
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes("filepath", My.Resources.filename, False)
Unfortunately this method dosen't enable the export of the file type I need. For various reasons the file must be exported at runtime?
As I'm working with some image files for my project, where should I store it ?I mean, they will be displayed frequently to the user. What I do currently is store in the app directory and when needed, I use:
vb.net
PictureBox1.Image=New Bitmap(Application.StartupPath & "ImageName.png"
For some background images, I used to set it at design time. That is, selecting the image needed using the Image property and never changes it at runtime.So, what will be best place to store it efficiently.
In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line:
Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr
In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.
I put an exe in the resources folder called 1.exe and put in the button event this command
Proess.Start(My.Resources.1)
But it gives me error can't find the specified file.
First off if this isn't the right section, please let me know where to post or move this thread.After an hour or more of googling this specific error message I received prior to testing my program, I attempted to change my GDI max to 25000, as suggested by most of the topics I found. This has failed to solve the issue.
Basically anytime I attempt to run my program, I end up with this error "Unable to embed ... Not enough storage availavble". Or someting to that effect.
I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either.
