View 1 Replies[2008] Enable Meta Gaming And Obtaining All The Meta Gaming?
Feb 18, 2012Ive come up with an issue in a program im making, hoping someone might have a clue. Basically I want to enable meta gaming into a ORPG I play. Obtaining all the meta gaming was easy enougth to do, now I have to add it into the game (Microsoft Freelancer) But ive run into a problem.I don't have a clue how. Basically, Microsoft Freelancer has a "chatbox" and I want to pass skype to and from the chatbox using VB.So if I want to type "Hi everyone" into skype, I would type "/s Hi everyone" and theoretically my VB app catches the message and passes it to skype.I can do that part using windows hooks. But when skype chats back, How to post into the game?Ive run a sniffer, But I get data that I have no Idea what it is.0000 80 06 01 00 CD DE 00 00 93 F5 06 00 I do know the ip im sending to and the port, If that helps, And the rest of the program functions, just sending and receiving the chat data is beyond me atm.

For including images in my database, what i would like to do during the import process is capture some of the meta data to store against fields in my database as well.

Using StreamWriter To Attach Window Meta File?
Mar 27, 2012i have a windows form created using vb.net 2005 that allows users to attach files. When the user clicks the AttachFile button, they browse to select a file they want to attach and then the code places the file they selected into a predetermined location. The primary file type they will be attaching is a windows meta file (.wmf).
The attached file is saved and appears as a hyperlink for the user to open at a later time. When the user clicks to open the file, it is suppose to insert it into Autocad; however, it wasn't doing this.
The problem comes from attaching the file using the StreamWriter for some reason its not working correctly. I verified that this is the issue: When i hardcoded the file path to the original file's location, it opens up just fine when clicking the hyperlink. When I compare file size from the original to the one attached, I see that the original is 12Kb and the one I attached is 19Kb.
Here's my code to attach the file: I'm thinking perhaps it has something to do with this line? sReadFile = sr.ReadToEnd() but I'm just not sure. I tried changing this line to sr.Read but that doesn't work either.

.NET Renaming File And Retagging / Edit Image MetaData / Meta Tags?
Jan 4, 2011How do I Edit and Save Image EXIF / Metadata / FileInfo without using an external DLL?
Project:I'm building an app for personal use to rename, retag, and organize the apocalyptic quantity of images I host on my personal website. As I have been collecting funny pictures and such for several years, there is no real rhyme or reason to the file naming conventions. Ergo, Image0001.jpg needs to be renamed to a descriptive filename, and the Metadata fields need to be filled in.
The desired process will take an existing jpg, gif, png, tiff or bmp and do the following:
load image into memory
convert bmp files to jpgs if needed (for a smaller file size, mostly)
load image tags into ImageData Structure (see below)

Renaming File And Retagging / Edit Image MetaData / Meta Tags?

[4] load file data into ImageData Structure (where needed)
[5] display image and tags for user to edit (In a Picture Box and several Text Boxes)
[6] allow editing of fields and renaming of the file
[7] write the changes to the image file
[8] go to next file.
Example:
[1] Load Image0001.jpg. Populate ImageData Structure fields.
[2] Type in Description: "lolcat ceiling cat sends son".
[3] ImageData.FileName changed to "lolcat-ceiling-cat-sends-son.jpg".
[4] ImageData.Name, .Keywords, .Title, .Subject, and .Comments changed to "lolcat ceiling cat sends son".
[5] Save file with new filename and save all new tag fields.
(Later, I will also be using SQL to build a referential database with links to the online copies of these files to allow for searching by keywords, subject, filename, etc, but that's another layer that's much easier than this one. At least to me.)
Problem:So far, several days of research have yielded almost no measurable progress. Information has apparently been inexplicably hidden behind a bunch of unexpected search keywords. Current Code as is:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.Path
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging[code]........

View 14 RepliesRetrieve Information From A Binary File, Alter That Information, And Put It Back Into A New File?
Aug 27, 2009I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.

View 1 RepliesStore/retrieve Millions Of Files When Their Meta-data Is In A SQL Database?
Aug 10, 2009I have a process that's going to initially generate 3-4 million PDF files, and continue at the rate of 80K/day. They'll be pretty small (50K) each, but what I'm worried about is how to manage the total mass of files I'm generating for easy lookup. Some details:
I'll have some other steps to run once a file have been generated, and there will be a few servers participating, so I'll need to watch for files as they're generated.Once generated, the files will be available though a lookup process I've written. Essentially, I'll need to pull them based on an order number, which is unique per file.At any time, an existing order number may be resubmitted, and the generated file will need to overwrite the original copy.
Originally, I had planned to write these files all to a single directory on a NAS, but I realize this might not be a good idea, since there are millions of them and Windows might not handle a million-file-lookup very gracefully. I'm looking for some advice:
Is a single folder okay? The files will never be listed - they'll only be retrieved using a System.IO.File with a filename I've already determined.If I do a folder, can I watch for new files with a System.IO.DirectoryWatcher, even with that many files, or will it start to become sluggish with that many files?Should they be stored as BLOBs in a SQL Server database instead? Since I'll need to retrieve them by a reference value, maybe this makes more sense.
