View 3 RepliesI have a program that needs to access the files that are open by another program on the computer.When my application comes up I can easily see if the other application is running with the .net Process.GetProcessesByName method
Dim MyProcesses() as Process = GetProcessesByName("AnApplication")
For Each Instance as Process in MyProcesses
If MsgBox("application is running - do you want to end it?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo or MsgBoxStyle.Question, "Warning") = MsgBoxResult.Yes then
[code].....
The problem is that the Instance.Kill does not allow the application to end gracefully. In VB6 you could use the SendMessage API to send a close message to the application and it would end gracefully - i.e. give the user the normal closing prompt. This just slays the application - leaving any open files in their potentially incomplete state, etc.
I've a small home network and i want to make a program that's transforming files between two computer and make me chat with all computers.

View 2 RepliesThis would be easier if I were able to have the external computer get its own name and just pass it to a web service as a variable, but I'm not able to do that right now. There are a variable number of computers from several different entities that regurarly access a web service on one of our servers. Changing only some VB.Net code on the server and nothing at all on any of those external computers, how would I be able to get their names programmatically in VB.Net?

My question is how do I copy some of my projects over to his computer.

View 3 RepliesI recently came across a problem with My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(). It will not delete read only files.I found out by Googling that I could delete the read only files by changing the file attributes to 'Normal'. So I wrote a recursive function, as below.
Private Sub DeleteDir(ByVal dir As DirectoryInfo)
For Each d In dir.GetDirectories
DeleteDir(d)[code].....
It seems to work fine, but it would be nice if My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() had another parameter to delete read only files, or there was an easier way to do this.
I am having trouble opening my vb.net 2005 project from a backed up copy on a hard drive. The original files are on my old XP computer which I no longer have access to. I am trying to open the project in vb.net 2010 on Win7. I have converted the project to vb.net 2010 and when I open the file, nothing shows up, when I try to open them, it tells me the form isn't found in the project directory because it's been moved or deleted. I know that the software on the hard drive didn't back up .exe files, I'm not sure if it did back up other kinds of files. I don't want to restart the project because I've spent over a year on it and have written over 3000 lines of code on it.

This is another thread in VB6.0 but I don't mind doing it all in .Net.
This is the situation: i have the central location with the main computer,and 14 distanced locations connected in VPN and often we need to update program manually (on distanced locations) by overwriting the existing .dll-s of the program and this is pain in the ass to connect remotely to 14 locations and on each workstation overwrite the .dll files so i want to create application which is going to be installed on each WS and by running this app it will check the program folder on central computer and if there is any file with newer version then existing one on the WS it will copy it from central computer and overwrite the old file/s on WS. It is a small app with two buttons and progress bar but the main thing is the Update now button because i dont�t know which commands it should commit.
View 22 RepliesI have created an shareware application using vb.net visual studio 2008 for windows desktop, and packaged it using innosetup 5.3.8. The problem is when i have installed the application in C:Program FilesApplication and it runs successfully(use trial period of the application), Im also able to install the application once again freshly with the same setup by installing in different directory.eg C:Program FilesApplication new . The application in C:Program FilesApplication new does not have any settings of the already installed one.
Where do i went wrong . Do i need to take care of this in my application(vb.net) or innosetup. How to take care of the already installed path in innosetup or carry the settings of already installed application to newly installed path by upgrading the older one.
I dont want to write any thing in registry because the application does not want any administrative permission requirements.If i install the application in same path it gets updated with the older settings being taken over to this new one and it works fine.
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

In my application I play sound files that are located in a folder on my computer's desktop.
Const sSoundFolder = "C:UsersChrisDesktopSound"
Now that I'm ready to deploy my app, I want to reference all the audio files so others can hear them in the application.
I read how to reference them... but what I don't know:
Do I have to change the above code to some sort of reference folder in my application instead of my desktop?
I am moving from vb6 to vs2010. I installed vs2010 but no vb program, even the simplest will run. As soon as I load a solution either vshost32.exe or vshost32-clr.exe will shut down.If I create a vb application, even with just a form, a button, it will not run but will exit with the following.
'WindowsApplication1.exe' (Managed (v2.0.50727)): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32mscorlib2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089mscorlib.dll'
The program '[3000] WindowsApplication1.exe: Managed (v2.0.50727)' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).
If I create an exe it will run on other computers but not mine, exe's that are created on other computers will run there but not on mine, so it doesn't seem to be a vs2010 problem but something else. I removed and reinstalled .net framework, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 but that didn't help either. Since exe's that I create will run on other computers but not mine, I suspect it's .net framework but other than uninstalling and reinstalling it, I have no idea what to check.
