VS 2010 WebClient OpenWriteAsync Not Updating File?
Aug 8, 2011
I'm using the WebClient class' OpenWriteAsync function, and I'm having a little trouble with it. I want it to write some information to a .txt file I have uploaded on my FTP. I made it display a message after it has completed doing so, and the message does indeed pop up.However, I've checked my .txt file numerous times, and it hasn't actually been e Here's some of my
Dim otherclient As New WebClient()
AddHandler otherclient.OpenWriteCompleted, AddressOf WriteCompleted
otherclient.OpenWriteAsync(New Uri(URL))
I have an application that gathers data from a SQL database that is used by a 3rd party helpdesk application.My application is pulling out information of the number of hours worked by each engineer for the current and previous 2 months.Also as part of this process, my application works out the target hours for each of those months.
My application has 3 groupboxes whose label is generated at runtime. My application gives the Groupbox1.text the name of the current month, Groupbox2.text the name of the previous month, and Groupbox3.text the name of the month before that (e.g. Mar, Feb, Jan).
What I am trying to do is have 2 text boxes for each month where I can enter the number of engineer holidays taken and the number of public holidays if any. I want to store these values in an XML file, and I guess they need to be stored to match the Groupbox text (i.e. Mar, Feb, Jan).
When the application starts, I need to parse that XML file and re-populate the text boxes with those number of days - BUT if the month has moved on, so that the Groupboxes are now called Apr, Mar, Feb then I want the Mar and Feb data to be loaded, and I want the XML file to be updated so that Apr is added and Jan is removed from it.I want the XML file to keep the current and previous two months figures only.
I am developing an application toolbar to be used with our companys CAD software and I have this portion of it Reading the lines of a text file into various comboboxes and such. However, if there are only 12 lines in the text file when I click a button to update and apply the new information i get an error because the file is already open. I need to figure out how to make sure its closed before WriteAllLines kicks in.

How can I integrate a ProgressBar in this code? It takes normally some seconds (9-10), but my program looks like a "crash", for this reason i want use a ProgressBar
I make a lot of programs that require an internet connection to download things from the web.At the very beginning, I used WebClient, as I didn't know Socket & how it worked.But now, I use Socket all the time, altough it's more lines of code. It seems to work faster then WebClient.I am interested if this is really true & why WebClient is slower (so is HttpWebRequest) then just a Socket.I've setup 2 threads which starts on the click of a button (WebClient thread starts first), the Socket beats the WebClient by just some milliseconds, but still.Each way has it's advantages & disadvantages, e.g.: if you use Socket, you need to write the header yourself & parse the response header.My question is, which one do you prefer & why ?Do you know why WebClient & HttpWebRequest are slower then Socket, as I assume, WebClient & HttpWebRequest both use tcp to download the things.
working in an intranet sit .downloadString took less than one second,but some times the server is down (maitenance or so on) and the the result took maybe one minute or so.Is there any way to set an lower interval?for example, if the server doesn't respond in 9 seconds return empty string, or so on.
I've read some about async comm but not sure what is the best solution.
I am trying to use system.net to download a zip from a website.I am using the following code .[code].....I am doing something wrong here.The zip file is getting downloaded but the size is not correct.How to know the size of the file I download and assign to my buffer .
I am trying to use WebClient to download a .zip file from my server. In debugging mode the code works perfectly, but when I deploy my software the file does not even begin to download.After my program checks to see if an update is available, it should download the .zip file from my web server via the following
I am trying to get my program to read async so it doesn't just freeze up while it fetches the data. I have: SR = New StreamReader(WC.OpenReadAsync(New Uri(url))) Dim html = SR.ReadToEnd.ToString It keeps throwing the error "does not produce an expression". I remember trying this in the past, only to have the same error.
I'm trying to download a simple text file from a web server. It's easily accessible from the web browser and I can download it from the web browser. However, whenever I use a WebClient to download the file, I get a 403 Access Forbidden Error! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I haven't come across this kind of error in programming before and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to get around it.
I am using the code below to upload a file to a server running windows IIS 5.1.
I am just testing on my own computer to see if this works ok. However, I keep getting the following error message:
The remote server returned an error (405) Method Not Allowed I am sure this is a IIS problem maybe something to so with permissions. However, I am configure the virtual directory to allow read, write, and directory browsing.
The config.xml file I am trying to upload is located in the same directory as the executable and does exist.
Private Sub upload_config_to_server() Dim url As New Uri("http://localhost/softphone/config.xml") Dim wc As New WebClient()
[code]It gives me problems right there because it downloads the file but not the data in it,url... is 1 kb and has one character in it - 1, when it downloads it has the right name and extention but the contents and size is gone size is 0 bytes and contents are empty.
I am getting an error with this Dim Web As New WebClient Web.Proxy = "69.196.16.237:62159" It says runtime errors may occur when converting string to System.Net.IWebProxy What does that mean?
But when I use WebClient.DownloadString to read the source code to a textbox, I only get this:
<div id="webResults"> </div>
There's nothing. All of the webresults have been removed.How come I can view the code in my internet browser but not on my application?? I even used an InStr method to confirm that the results weren't contained in the generated code.
I'm trying to use a java servlet in a 3rd party tool's web interface (CA service desk) to invoke it's download file functionality using a webclient in vb.net. The trouble is the text stream from response is markup and not the acutual text file stream.
It's like the page is redirecting to another page which actually presents the file for downloading. I have no idea what the redirected page URL is.
Is there a way I can process this redirected page in order to get at the download using a system.net.webclient?
I am uploading a file from a C# application to an ASP.Net website, both written by me so I have access to the code.But, it is working for a text file (1KB) but not for a MOV file (77MB).
In both cases, I am using UploadProgressChanged to get the progress. The TXT file goes to 100% while the MOV file goes only till 50%. When done, I only find the TXT file saved on the server but not the MOV file.
I seem to remember reading the MSDN somewhere that there was another method to download files from URIs other than using the webclient object. I'm trying to download some raw php files but every time I use the webclient object the server interprets them as an HTTP request and instead serves the default web page that the php file builds and not the php code itself.
I'm downloading a file from my website using WebClient.DownloadFile(),I'm wanting to do it asynchronously, so my UI stays responsive, that would require me creating an array of web clients, is that bad practice? Or is it acceptable?I have looked into FileWebRequest, but thought WebClient looked easier to implement.
I need to parse a Unix text file so, I am using System.Net.WebClient to ftp into a Unix server then using the .DownloadFile() method to get the text file, but its coming in with the Unix end line ""; so is there a way to convert that to windows format while doing the DownloadFile method? I do re-read it after and fix it, I am just looking for a better way.
Or is there an alternate such as instead of a DownloadFile, and the two other steps above can I just read it into an array right off the Unix server?? If so then what method would I use?
I do the same thing with URLdownloadtoFile: IT WORKS.Wih the WEBCLIENT part I just DO NOT GET the Text file from the PHP/MYSQL server: I only get message "Invalid Username/Password or no list download permission: ||"

I've been working on an app for quite awhile and now am at the point where I have to incorporate an Access DB. Tried many things/variations of what I've found...but now am stuck. So here goes:
I have a Form with this
Public Class Form1 Dim objConnection As New OleDbConnection _ ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|Test.mdb")
I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.
