VS 2010 Built-in Method For Stepping Back Through Folder Paths?
Jan 27, 2011Is there a built-in method for stepping back through folder paths? Or a better way then what I'm doing? To go back two folder paths I'm doing it like this...

I'm writing an app where a user selects a folder on the network for a job to deposit output into.The person setting up the job will not necessarily be the same person who runs the job and that the job will not be ran on the same machine so I need to keep the path in UNC format. I can get the user to "see" the network when the FolderBrowserDialog runs by pointing the route folder at the desktop folder.
The issue is that if the network share is local even though the user has selected the folder through the network folders it returns the local path!! Which of course means that when the job is run on the other machine it can not find the folder specified.
E.g. The user on machine1 selects the network share \machine1jobsmyjob but the dialog returns C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob. machine2 then runs the job and looks for C:work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob and can not find it then throws an error.
As you can see from the above example I can't just replace c: with the local machine name as the share may not be in the root of the drive. I did think about parsing the text and changing it to \machine1c$work2010JobsClientjobsmyjob but this would mean I'd have to allow all the users to have admin access to our servers which is a non starter.if there is a way to switch off this behaviour in the dialog?
dim myDialog as new FolderBrowserDialog
With myDialog
.Description = "Browse to Job destination"
.ShowNewFolderButton = True
[code].....
I want to display them in a listbox. I have gobbled together this
Dim theFolderBrowser As New FolderBrowserDialog
theFolderBrowser.Description = "Please select a folder for the download."
'theFolderBrowser.ShowNewFolderButton = False
[Code]....
get the actual path and then used that to get a bunch of mp3 files paths from a folder. However the above code gives me nothing in return.
i have loaded my application settings into 3 text boxes. now if the user changes these, how do i save the new file/folder paths to my.settings? i tried my.settings.save but it does not seem to work.
'Load the current options
Dim MyConnectionString As String = My.Settings.PrimaryConnectionString
Dim MyDefaultImportFolder As String = My.Settings.DefaultImportFolder
[Code]......
'global declaration
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "EventList.txt"
Dim PATH_FILE As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory() & "" & FILE_NAME
'end of global declaration

Using F8 to step through all of the code, it gets to this sub, highlites Dim fs and then hit F8 again it just pops up the form, no message boxes - nothing. Other notes: EventList does exist in stated directory.
Any ideas why it wouldn't complete the sub? the first debug line after hit the f8 is: A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but the file is there
what is the easiest way to step through a string in this manner... I want to have my program look for one keyword and then another.. in otherwords it needs to find "hello56" and THEN find the word "bob" there are so many places the word "bob" is but I need to locate the "bob" thats after "hello56" Hope this example is clear.

View 20 RepliesI have this code for drawing a path.
Dim map As New Bitmap(l1.Size.Width, l1.Size.Height, l1.CreateGraphics)
Dim nextPoint As Point
Using g As Drawing.Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(map)
Dim dPath As New Drawing2D.GraphicsPath
For i As Integer = 0 To path.Count - 1
[Code] .....
l1 is a Label. When I call this it draws the path fine, but when I call it again it draws another path but doesn't get rid of the first path. Basically, I only want one path on the Label at a time.
I'm working on a project right now that I've had my head wrapped around for about the last week or so. Without getting fully into it, it's a 2 part application. DoIT and DoER. DoIT creates commands that another computer, running DoER, is supposed to do.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to write a simple standalone windows forms project that basically contains various buttons which run external application setup files. The problem is I want to be able to run it from a USB stick. I have created a folder inside the project with all the files I need to call in it. I am using Process.start but the paths are obviously going to be wrong when the project is running from the stick as the drive letter may be different each time. How do I over come this.

View 1 RepliesI would like to make a method excute right before the user get back controle of the program. No matter what chain of events happens i would like to beable to have a method is always the last thing to excute. I plan on using the method to check the form and the data on it. I have no issues righting the method, I just don't know if their is a event or some other way to make sure it is always the last thing to excute. (Sorta like a validation method) Is their an easy way to do this?

I need my listbox to display text.
I'm using Debug.Print in a loop but all these diagnostis are appearing also:
[code]...
Is there a way to suppress that? I tried:View, Other Windows, Output and then unchecked step filtering messages and that doesn't seem to work.
I also tried:
Tools, Options, Debugging, General and checked enable just my code and that doesn't seem to work.Trival but it clusters my debugging.
This has to be simple, but can't find the answer.I want to display a list of all files from a folder in a listbox. Easy..., but I want to display only the filenames without their paths.
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:My Folder")
ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile)
Next
This gives me list looking like that:
C:My Folderfile1.txt
C:My Folderfile2.txt

What are the best ways you guys recommend to search the MSDN Code Library. I know there have been several instances in searching for ways to do something, doing a long workaround, and finding out later that there was a built in class that handled the problem that I was working on much simpler.
So what are some of the ways you guys use to find tools, classes, etc. when coding. Or are you just that awesome already.This is kindve just a general tips and tricks question. Sorry if Im in the wrong forum mods.
I am adding a web interface (ASPX.NET: VB) to a data acquisition system developed with LabVIEW which outputs raw data files. These raw data files are the binary representation of a LabVIEW cluster (essentially a structure).LabVIEW provides functions to instantiate a class or structure or call a method defined in a .NET DLL file.I plan to create a DLL file containing a structure definition and a class with methods to transfer the structure.When the webpage requests data, it would call a LabVIEW executable with a filename parameter. The LabVIEW code would instantiate the structure,populate the structure from the data file, then call the method to transfer the data back to the website.
How do you recommend I transfer (copy) an instance of a structure from one .NET program to the VB.NET program that executed it?
What's the equivalent method in .NET of the Picture1.Scale (0,0)-(10,10) method in 6.0?

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 have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.

The idea is to scan a folder of images and then let the user navigate back and forth through the images using a couple of buttons.The problem is, I can only get it to return a single image, and not the whole lot. It's looks to me as though the images are getting assigned to the same index in the array. [code]
