I am trying to compress and uncompress files. I have read that System.IO.Packaging might suit my needs, but I can not find it. I am using VS 2008 professional. Imports System.IO.Packaging at the top of class does not work (it throws an error). I did find system.io.compression. Does this replace packaging? If it does, does it handle .7z and .rar files?
View 1 RepliesThis is the code I have right now
pZipFilename = "C:\123\1234.zip"
Using pkgMain As Package = Package.Open(pZipFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
For Each pkgPart As PackagePart In pkgMain.GetParts()
...
The problem I'm having is that pkgMain.GetParts() never returns anything even though the .zip file has around 100 items in it.
I'm trying to use system.io.packaging to create my own zip class. I've got it to work, but i'm not happy with the compression rate. In the code below I've set it to the maximum compression rate, yet winrar is able to create a zip (at maximum compression) that is 2/3 of the size when I make it. Am i doing something wrong?

I am attempting to read Excel 2003 cell content through a Visual Basic 2008 program. Searching Help for the subject yielded an example Function named XLGetCellValue (ByVal fileName As String, ByVal sheetName As String, Byval addressName As String) As String
This function required the following Iports:
Imports
System.IO.Packaging
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.IO
upon pasting the above three Iports to the Program, Igot the following error message:Warning 1 Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.IO.Packaging' 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.

View 3 RepliesI'm using the System.IO.Packaging namespace in my VS2005 application. The zip compression works fine for 1 or many files. The unzip though for some reason seems to only unzip one file. Initially I did this in vs2008 at home and it worked fine, but now at work with vs2005 it's only unzipping one of the files. Can you see anything that I might be doing wrong?

I have developed an app and an installer for it and everything works fine. I now feel I should add a bit of obfuscation to the code before it gets released into the wild. VS2010 comes with the CE edition of dotfuscator so I've run it and it produced an .exe in a 'Dotfuscated' folder. Do I just replace all four 'Primary output from. custom actions with the assembly from the Dotfuscator folder or am I missing something?
View 9 RepliesI was able to create an application in VB.net that talks to a SQL Server CE database.Now i want to deploy this application using the publish feature with clickonce.An issue im having tho is when I install the application on another computer it keeps looking for my sql server on my development pc.
Ive added the .sdf when i package my solution but its still an issue.How do I change my connection string to connect to the .sdf file that I included in the package? this is my current connection string which looks at the sql server: connectionString = " Data Source=CHRIS-PCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ce_db;Integrated Security=True"
I'm developing a very simple program in VB2010 Express that will create folders based on entries in a remote database. I am fully aware that the minimum requirement to run the exe is the latest .net framework, however I have a few added resources to the file, and when I try to run the executable on another computer, it fails to run stating that the resources are missing.
How do i compile my VB code AND the resources together into a stand-alone executable that only requires the .net framework to be installed?I have already tried to google this issue, however every answer I find has nothing to do with my initial question..

View 1 RepliesI have a Windows Forms application built in VS2005 and migrated to VS2008. I copied this application from one development computer to another, and now it states <the system cannot find the reference specified> for every single reference. These references are basic things like System, System.Data, System.Windows.Forms, etc. I cannot even look at the forms since it cannot find the reference to the DLL.
The computer the application was copied to has VS2008 installed and I can find the references in the appropriate location of (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727) and also in the GAC (C:Windowsassembly)
However, even if I try to remove the references and add them back in again it still says it cannot find the specified references.

I've created a class library in Visual Studio 2008, and when I try to add the dll as a reference, I get the message in the title for the Path field in my project references. I've been going for a week trying to figure out this issue, and I haven't been able to come up with anything. The strange thing is I can add the same reference to a Visual Studio 2010 project, and it works perfectly fine.I used VS 2008 to build it because the dll isn't used in house and needs to be compatible with .Net 3.5.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a toolkit of all the software that I use to do virus removals, PC Tune-Ups etc.. The issue that I am having is I cannot get the program to execute. For Example: I have created a small program with several buttons on it that I would like to execute specific programs that I have when they are Clicked. If I Click the 'Combofix' button, I would like 'Combofix' to start.
On my computer all the button functions work properly they execute the program that i have coded them to execute just fine on MY COMPUTER. However, when I publish the program and migrate all the publication to another computer the buttons do not work properly. My first thought is that I do not have them directed properly. As if the program does not have the other software (combofix) being copied with it.
This is the Error that I get - 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
This is the directory that i am using - Private
I keep getting that error but im sure i have it right. Heres an example of my code
Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Flock\Flock.exe"e")
I use the System.Diagnostic.Process.Start(filename) to start an associated application to open the filename. All the files I tried worked in the Win 7 32-bit systems. But on any Win 7 64-bit system, if the filename is a Windows Journal file (.jnt file), I got the exception "The system cannot find the file specified". I used VS 2008 for both Win 7 32-bit and Win 7 64-bit.
