VS 2010 Windowssystem32 Writes To Windowssyswow64?
Sep 22, 2011
trying to write to c:windowssystem32 on a windows 7 x64 machine, but the application keeps writing to c:windowssyswow64 instead. I have heard of windows interpreting commands and modifying them to be what microsoft "thinks" you are trying to do.when dealing with 32 bit apps running on a 64 bit os.the line of code im using is:
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:WindowsSystem32dbcon9x64TEST.dll", My.Resources.dbcon9X64)
the issue is I need to write files to both c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssyswow64 ....the files need to have the same name.
I am creating a vb.net screen saver setup solution that will copy a .scr file to c:\Windows\system32, but unfortunanetely access denied. It gives error "Acess to path 'C:\Windows\system32\sss.scr' is denied". The code i used are:
Dim fileName As String = "UDOMScreenSaver.scr" Dim sourceFile As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory & "\" & fileName Dim destFile As String = Environment.SystemDirectory & "\" & fileName Try
I'm making an installer and I need to copy a file into C:WindowsSystem32. It's a dll file.When I try to do this, app throws an exception saying that the access is denied. Before doing this, I copy a lot of files into another directories and have no problem at all. The exception is thrown only when I try to write into that folder.
I designed a vb.net application. In this application I am using some file which are in WindowsSystem32 folder. Each and everything is working file, but when I install my application on any x64 machine. My application is unable to read the in WindowsSystem32 files. I think this is because of WOW64(windows-32-on-windows-64) issue. I don't want to install these files at any other place because of application security purpose.
I'm having a massive problem trying to write a file into the c:windowssystem32 directory. The code works fine on 32 bit machines, however does not work on 64 bit machines. My user account is an administrator on the machine, and even right clicking and choosing to run the app as administrator does not solve the issue.
When writing the file, no exception is thrown, but the file is not written. I have read various posts regarding adding an app.manifest file containing the requestedExecutionLevel node to my solution, but as yet am unable to get this to work. I have a feeling this may be because I'm using vb.net rather than c#.net(also, this is not a malicious app I am writing, I'm working on a version control app for our team and need to be able to interface with IIS files held in c:windowssystem32inetsrvconfig).
Let me explain the functions and what they do first.This function writes a key to a specified file:
Public Shared Sub WriteDatabaseKey(ByVal section As String, ByVal keyname As String, ByVal entrystring As String, ByVal filename As String, ByVal filepath As String)
Im trying to buffer data being written to a device on a com port. The equipment attached to it does not use any form of flow contol and if you write to much information to quickly it falls over. So I have had the following thoughts.
I would create a list of strings and when I wanted to write data to the com Port I would just add the string to the list. I would then have a Sub running its own thread to step through the list, write the string to the com port ,pause a fixed amount of time, remove string from list and repeat until the list is empty. Then keep looping the above.
Code I have so far is below
Private MsgList as new List (of string) Private sub MsgPump () Do
[Code]....
THis does work but If I add strings to MsgList to quickly it throws an exception.
I want to create a tiny program that writes itself. VB.
Basically, I start it off with the smallest coding possible. Then, I want it to be able to automatically generate buttons, forms, labels by itself. I want it to compile another version of itself, and to test if it worked. I want it to in someway to be able to ask the new application if it works, and if it does to close both and to run the newer variation, then to repeat this process. I guess this is kind of like a self-manifesting application that keeps growing; an AI perhaps. Is this possible?
I am needing to write to a "rtf" file, and always insert my text on line 3 of either a new or an existing rtf document.I'm familiar with vb, but have not done much with the system.io functions. I have been testing several examples from the internet using the streamreader and streamwriter but still having issues finding a way to "insert text" on a specified line number. My questions:
1)I will always need to write on line #3, do I need to read all lines as this example shows "lines.AddRange(System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C :/test/myrtffile.rtf"))"
i have this message program that writes text to a .txt file when i push a button and a filesystemwatcher that checks for when that file is changed and when it is it set the text of another textbox in my program to the text of the file. in the text i transport over there are usernames, i want the program to check to see if textbox contains that text then i want it to highlight or color or change the font of that text, or username. but i want it to just change the username's attributes not the whole text box,
I'm launching my application at the end of installation using custom installer class - Sub oncommited.I'm using vb 2005 setup project.The application main form load event need to read/write values from HKCUSoftwareMyApp registry.The problem is that when the application is launched at the end of installation ,it reads/writes from HKEY_Users.DefaultSoftwareMyApp instead of HKCU though I've written
My .Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(RegKey).GetValue("Name","")
When the application is launched through Program files shortcut,it reads/writes properly.I need to exit the application depending on registry values.
Im currently looking fora solution to load/delete/write to a csv file. I tried to save my .txt into .csv but when its loaded into excel it writes everything in column
A1: John Freeman,Apartment 1 Street 2,New York with commas...

What am I missing? This cvs seems like the thing i want to work with.I testet it with writing my user registration form to .csv and its writing it perfectly into excel when i use & vbCrLf & between the text inputs, but will be listing them vertical and not horizontal as i want them to be.Also i don't know how to clear my csv document now and how to call the csv file to a table or a textbox like i did with my .txt file.
[code]...
readalltext can't read .csv so the code should be like?
I have a program that currently takes data and writes it to a MS Excel spreadsheet. (automatically opens the program, creates the cells, and fills them with data)
I would like to add an additional feature to my program that offers support for OpenOffice.org's 'Calc' spreadsheet program. (so users without MS Excel can use the application) So I am basically asking if anyone knows how to automate OpenOffice 'Calc' from VB.net. (I am using Visual Studio 2005)
I have searched on the OpenOffice forums but no one seems to know the vb.net code for this. So I was wondering if anyone here has done this, or would know how to do this.
how can I let VB.Net writes an excel 2007 file? For example, the data in a TextBox will be written to the excel file every 30 seconds.The enviroment is VS2008, .Net 3.5.I've just started VB for one month, so please give me a piece of code to help me understand. I tried to find the solution on the Internet, but none of the codes worked for me, some people mentioned import "Microsoft.Office.Interop" in the code, but if do that in my code, VS said that "Namespace or type in the Imports 'Microsoft.Office.Interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases."
I have a program which records the phone numbers I dial into one program into its own textbox. But whenever I use numlock to type the phone numbers in, it appears as "abc, etc" in the recording program.
I'm currently finishing up a project that reads / writes to an access database. The only issue I'm having is that it needs to have the file path to the database file. EX:
why the xmlwirter writes an extra "?" at the begining of the xml. [code] And this is the output. Note the red "?" at the beginning of the xml. Upon close examination, it's a Chr(239) but in console application, it is shown as the "?" [code]
I am writing an app that reads from the com port, filters the data, then writes to the text box, then immediately starts over. This all takes place in an endless " do while" loop within the "start" button code. I also have a end button too which closes the com port and ends the program. Some other buttons are present also to change the filter settings.Problem is when I click start, data is logged, but none of the other buttons work. Also some of the text boxes are "see through" and dont look like thy have updated with the rest of the form.
I was just wondering if it's possible to create an app that interacts with a database hosted on a web server... or is it only possible using VB.NET? Also if it is possible, is there any good documentation or tutorials I could reference?
I'm having a bit of trouble with the SerialPort class I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on. Specifically, writing to the port appears to work without incident. However, reading data is proving problematic. Initially I thought it was my hardware, but testing suggested the fault lied in software. I was able to confirm this with the installation of a loopback device on the port. It tends to be missing bytes, inserting bad bytes, and shifting bytes randomly.
I need to create/get a simple program that opens up a webpage, writes to a log if it is successful or not, logs out and repeats 5 minutes later.I'm not a coder myself, and I have no coders available at my work, I do on the otherhand have access to Visual Basic .NET 2010.
I am having a heck of a time with some very simple json. I have a very basic VB.NET webform which which writes out the contents of a datatable serizlized with JavaScriptSerializer.
I should create a program for a Pocket PC that reads & writes data from an MSAccess database located on a desktop computer (pocket PC and desktop one are connected through a Wi-Fi connection).Is that possible?
