Variable From Execution Path?
Jun 3, 2012
I am trying to allow my VB.NET EXE to have a variable defined by the run command. The problem is I have no idea what the terminology would be for this type of run.
For example - the shortcut is set to do "myexe.exe debug" This would set a variable to "debug" which on execution my app knows to enable a debug mode.I've done it in batch scripts before - it just enables the "%1" variable or "%2" based on the location (e.g. test.bat hello world - hello would be %1 and world would be %2).Hopefully I explained it well. I tried searching for "variable in execution path" and "variable on execution" with other mixes, but none of those searches return what I am looking for.

I can't seem to get this to work. I am just a novice plugger and do some of these forms for my work occasionally. I am assigning a textbox result to a variable. I then want to use that variable in a path string i.e. ("c:some stuffvarname") but the variable looses focus once placed inside the quotes.

I am concatenating a variable onto a path(string), i'm using a message box to display this for testing purposes, I can see that the variable is starting on a new line, which in turn when i try to open the file it doesn't recognize that the file exist...
Dim Path As String = "C:UsersstefanDesktopUni WorkYear 4ProjectsProject SelectionProjectProjectinDebug"
Shapetext = clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.ToString.Substring(0, clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.IndexOf(" "))
MsgBox(Path + Shapetext + ".txt")

How can I create a DLL declare statement with an environmental variable in it so as to make sure that I'm loading the system DLL from the right place, the system32 folder? For instance...
Declare Function GetExtendedTcpTable Lib "iphlpapi.dll" Alias "GetExtendedTcpTable" (ByVal tcpTable As IntPtr, ByRef tcpTableLength As Integer, ByVal sort As Boolean, ByVal ipVersion As Integer, ByVal tcpTableType As TcpTableType, ByVal reserved As Integer) As UInteger
The reason I'm asking is that there has been talk about people injecting invalid/malicious DLLs into folders along with applications and whatnot and I see this as an issue if you don't specify the SYSTEM directory. Yeah, I could specify it to load from c:windowssystem32 but what happens if a person doesn't have their Windows installed in c:windows? Hence the reason to use an environmental variable to find system32.

I would like to create a filepath and assign it to a string (so that it can have yet more added to it later on in my program) the code takes (well i want it to but it doesn't) the name of a drive selected previously and then adds this to a string to create a string variable that refers to a file. and then (as usual) i want to use thes files and display them in a combobox but i want to only select files that have a pre selected 2characters at the front. I have got this code so far:
' search for filer drive NETAPP-1
For i = 0 To frmDatabase.drvDB.Items.Count - 1
If InStr(frmDatabase.drvDB.SelectedText(), "\Netapp-1malika", CompareMethod.Text) Then

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. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]

Problem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.

I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.

Well now i have an issue which is pointing in the use of "path's" physical and network.I have a SQL server on a Server machine and i have a desktop machine used as client.I'm runing from my client machine a stored procedure in order to add a streaming data base.But also before i run this procedure i run another one which prepare the desired "path", this procedure takes:
myPath="\ServerSharedFolderSQL
in order to run the first procedure i have to turn myPath in each physical name:
myPath="DriveLetter:PublicWorkFilesSQL"
Now my Issue is how i will have the physical path, which is build it on the server and which it's from very difficult (to imposible) to know it? Basically i need a function which will return me the physical path, which the implementation it's not knowing to me. My developing environment is vb.net 2010?

read the COMPLETE email before giving me instructions.I say that because it seams like who ever is responding is only reading part of the email and responding.I have followed your instrutions and I still can not get myhello.vb to compile.
Both vbc.exe and mylello.vb is in the same folder c:program files

You stated that I should run command prompt as administrator and tye the same command as you do. what (as administrator) is. Please walk me through the complete process.

Else

In the above code I am trying to recurse the LoadData function when the connection is unavailable, I want to defer the loading to when it becomes available. The problem is the above code leads to a compiler error, since a ByRef param cannot be used in lambda expressions.
