VS 2008 Add Some Kind Of File To A Folder In Documents?
Jun 26, 2009I have a context menu strip, and I need a way to add some kind of file to a folder in my documents. My program will get all the files in that folder then allow the user to pick one of the files. When a file is picked, the file changes the context menu strip completely. I can't figure out how to do this. I figured it could be done with a class library but I guess not. Any help would be great. And some extra info. I need to be able to externally code the file so that when a button in the context menu strip is pressed it does whatever the files tells it to do. How can these things be done?
View 2 RepliesFile Permissions - Can't Access Documents Folder From .net In Windows 7?
Jan 17, 2011I've been struggling with this problem in VB.net for a while: whenever I try to access the My Documents, My video's or simular in Windows 7, I get an access denied error. The program that uses this code is a file-backup application, so it's important it can access everything. The app has admin rights, using this line:requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
To confirm, I also get a nice UAC popup when starting.The app accesses the files twice. Once to calculate the file size, and once to actually copy the files. Here is the file-size calculation code (that I found online:) Function GetFolderSize(ByVal DirPath As String, ByVal includeSubFolders As Boolean) As Long

Zip (Compress) A Folder That Contains Uploaded Documents (VB ASP.NET 3.5)?
Aug 24, 2009I have a web application using VB ASP.NET 3.5 that along with many things allows users to upload documents into a directory on the web server. I would like to know how I can zip a folder on a webserver and download it to the client machine via a submit button.Currently, I have the files displayed as URLs so that the users can right-click and "Save Target As." But I think just having everything zipped in one file would make it alot easier for the users.

View 5 RepliesWrite Xml Documents In A Linear Fashion Is To Use The XmlTextReader?
Mar 20, 2006OverviewThe fastest way to read or write Xml documents in a linear fashion is to use the XmlTextReader and XmlTextWriter classes in the System.Xml namespace. If read- or write-only forward-only access is too limiting, however, the System.Xml.XmlDocument class provides the ability to easily modify existing documents (adding, removing, or modifying elements and / or attributes) and leverages the powerful search capabilities of XPath.
Getting StartedThe XmlDocument can load Xml from a string in memory, from a URL, or from a file path. There are two methods that enable this functionality: Load and LoadXml. To load a document from either a URL or file path, use the Load method. Following is an example of using the LoadXml method to load an Xml document from memory. (NOTE: we will be working with this particular document throughout this article)

VS 2010 Writing Files To A User's Default Documents Folder?
Aug 4, 2010I have a quick question. One of the functions in the program I am writing is to take all of the data entered, compile it into an HTML document, then place that document into a folder.For the past few days, I have just been using a random folder on one of my hard drives to dump the file in, but the problem is that, in my code, I have supplied the folder location as a string ("E:Practice FilesDocuments"), and therein lies the problem. Trying to test my program on a separate system brought the bug to my attention; obviously, this program can only write this file to a location of E:Practice FilesDocuments, and if any other computer that runs this program doesn't have E:Practice FilesDocuments then there is going to be a problem in the program working the way I have intended
So what I would like to do is instead of having it write the file to "E:Practice FilesDocuments," have it write to the default My Documents folder so that the program is no longer specific to my machine only. The problem is, though, I have no clue what the right code is to use. I first tried using
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location to write the file to the default installation directory. This would have worked, but since this is a VB.NET program, the default installation directory isn't in Program Files and doesn't seem to be meant for users to browse through for their documents, plus it seems that trying to write back to this directory causes some unhanded exceptions and whatnot. I figured it would just be easier to create a folder in My Documents rather than use the install directory (and probably smarter).

Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Documents Returns The Wrong Folder Name In VB2008?
Apr 2, 2011TempUserPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments Returns the string "C:UsersOwnerDocuments" but that folder is actually named "My Documents" (i.e., is "C:UsersOwnerMy Documents" in the Finder).When I try to create a new folder called "Documents" in the Owner directory, Windows asks if I want to merge its contents with the My Documents folder. If I say yes, I am left with only the My Documents folder and none named "Documents".Thus when I attempt to read or write a file to the TempUserPath location, I get an "access denied" error. This happens even after I manually change the name of the folder from "My Documents" to "Documents".

Alternative Way To Check For Folder Read/write Access?
May 1, 2011I've looked for code on this, and it seems needlessly confusing to me. I've tried some code I found and it doesn't return the proper value (I can't find the link to it now). So, I'm attempting to avoid that which I do not understand by writing a function that creates then deletes a file:
Friend Function GetFolderAccess(ByVal sDirectory As String) As Boolean
Try
Dim fs As New FileStream(sDirectory & " estfile.test", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
[code]....
Through testing, this appears to work for both read and write access. I originally had a File.Exists before the File.Delete, but the function would sometimes return True when it should have returned False.
