How does the exe app know where to look for its Resources folder? In the development folders of my app it is in one place relative to the GetCurrentDirectory, but in a different set of run-time folders, the relative path is different.
Is there a My.Resources property (or some other property) which knows where this folder is? System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory tells the app where it is, is there a 'System.IO.Directory.GetResourcesDirectory' (except of course I know there isn't)?
I want the user to be able to copy image files from wherever into the Resources folder without the user having to look for it (the Resources folder) themselves. I can do the OpenFileDialog1 bit myself, I just need to know where to place the chosen file.
I am working in VB2008. I don't know what process is started when a user double clicks on a folder to display its contents. I am working on an application where I store paths to various folders in a database that is displayed in a treeview. I would like to be able to select a node in my tree and then pass the path to the associated folder to the application which can display the contents of the folder. I need to know the name of the application or process that I am trying to startup to display my folder contents.

You know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.
I'm just trying to move my folder from one path to another path.The coding seems like it has moved it but the folder is not appearing in my destination path?
I'm trying to copy/move (whichever works in the end) a picture from my resources in my program, to the startup path.
However, when i try it, it tells me that the file could not be found.
System.IO.File.Copy(My.Resources.Image, PATH, False)That will turn up with an error telling me that the value of type Bitmap cannot be converted to string. So i figured i would try to put a .ToString behind it, and then i'll get the File Not Found error.
am trying to read a text file embedded as resource ,i want to be able to get each line as a string() but getting error Illegal characters in path ,whys this? its only a text file
I have a folder in the resources called 'files', which contains sub folders which I want to move into another directory.. I searched but found nothing, any ideas?
I do not know how to call this item in the codes using my resources (e.g. my.resources.pic.jpeg ?? )
The main reason I would like to do this is because when I publish the project, Upon clicking setup installation everything will be embedded together in respective folder instead of I add it manually.
I am making a program in vb.net (Vb 2008) but I want to call a dll or add a dll as reference but there's a prob. I don't want to put DLL in same folder of binary like if exe in d:/ so dll will also be in d:/. I want to call it like environ("temp") or from any other which give constant value not in string like ("c:/windows/system32/user32.dll") etc.. Or directory from resources without dropping it out.
I have downloaded Visual Basic 2010 express.My application is very simple:In my Resources folder, there are four folders. Each has a couple .png images in them.In my form, I have four checklists and one picturebox.When my application loads, I want each checklist to populate with the names of the images (one checklist for each folder)When the user clicks on a checklist, the Picturebox will display the corresponding image.I managed to do pretty much everything, but my problem is, how the heck do I access the Resources folder (and the four folders it holds), when my application is built and shared to other people?
I am working with VS 2008 Pro. Recently i moved to a project where i need have to add Images with MouseHover, MouseEnter, etc. events. Yesterday i attempted to add it using: Picturebox1.ImageLocation="<FilePath>"
It worked. But i got a few questions and they move around with my project development are following: My above code is working but i need to know, When i will compile this file or when i will create setup / build it, than VS will add this file automatically or not?
Imports System.ServiceProcess Imports System.IO Public Class fswService
[Code].....
2 problems: first, intellisense error saying: 'fswService' is a type and cannot be used as an expression. second, I can not figure out a way to pass on to the service the path of the folder to watch (which is stored at My.Settings.userPath).
With Visual Studio - 2008. I publish to my server. I have problem with the ClickOne, I cant find a way to include my DB connection and resources folder included in my project. It update correctly, but it does not include my resource folder a database connection. Maybe something with the rights to connect to the DB. Can can also see that every time I update my application, it make a new folder but it do not input my folders.
Any right way to do this: Dim con As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=" & "Resources/" & "myDB.mdb")
This is my string to connect. And I have added "myDB.mdb" it to my resource folder in the project. I have followed this video: [URL]. What is the correct way to implement a DB connection to my project when I am using ClickOnes?
I'm really really rusty/rubbish at this, but I have a series of 11 bitmaps in my resources folder.
I'd like, each time I click a button, a different image loads in sequence into a picture box. How do I do this. I know I've got to some array which loads the images, and a loop to increment through the array, but I can't put it together with the resources folder and the PictureBox control.
I sort of got something like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
