Adding Helpfile With App And Finding It On A Another Pc?
Nov 6, 2011
I need my published vb 2008 application to open a helpfile that I wrote. It is a simple .txt-file and this piece of code does the trick as long as the program is not published because I already know where I placed the Helpfile:
After it is published on another pc, the helpfile is not on the root of the c-drive but in the application folder of the program. However, I can not know where the path to the program folder of someone else's pc is. It all depends on where they decide to place the program when they install, right?
It seems I need to replace this little: "C:Helpfile.txt" with some code that searches all the drives and directories and/or points directly to the Helpfile's placement - i.e. the parent directory of the program.

I am working on a code where I need to add 21 years to the date 02/15/1957 and have it display the week day of that year. I have been looking at different web sites for visual basic
So far I have made a program that can find all the factors of a number (e.g type in 24 and you'll get 1 * 24, 2*12, 3*8, 4*6,). What I would like to do now is add a check box (called Show_Prime_Factors_chk) that when checked it will also show all the prime factors below all the normal factors.
I am trying to create a simple Word doc that when the user presses the button it takes the information in the boxes and tosses it into a template style paragraph. But my issue is that I have two combo list boxes as seen in the picture. I want to have two values in the drop down list as seen in the labels next to them but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this in Word 2007. In Visual Studio this is much easier but I am work and need to snap this out for the folks at work. Is there an option that I can choose in the properties where I type in the values for each drop down or do I have to add them in at run time?
I'm adding labels at runtime to my form with a tag. Let's say I have 3 labels with the tags, "1", "2" and "3". I'm adding the tags by counting the labels + 1. When I remove a label with tag "2" from the form there are only 2 left. When I add a new label it will add a new tag "3", but that one already exist. So my "solution" isn't a very good one Although tag "2" is free, I want to give it "4". Any thoughts on how to code this properly?

I have to provide a client with a method to retrieve data from an Audiometer. The equipment is discontinued, but they have six of these and are used every work day. Using port monitoring and the DUMP command on the peripheral I was able to read the data and save to file. Now my challenge is decoding each line. It appears that only a section of the string is not in plain values.I added the pipe separators for clarity. I have determined those columns are: EMPID | DateTime | TechID | Results | ResultType = Test.[code]

I'm looking for some smart ideas on how to quickly find all usage of session state within an existing asp.net (MVC) application.
The application in question was the subject of outsourced development, and has been running fine in production. But we recently realised that it's using InProc session state rather than (our preferred route) StateServer.
In a small scale test, we switched it over to StateServer, and all worked fine. However, when we deployed to production, we suddenly experienced a large number of errors. I'm not sure if these errors were caused by this change (they were actually complaining about database level problems), but removing the change allowed the application to function once again (this may have just been because it caused a recycle to occur).
So before I try switching it again, I'd like to perform a thorough audit of all objects being placed in the session (I'd previously taken a quick look at a couple of controllers, and they seemed fine). If I had full control over the code, this is the kind of place where I'd just comment out the class (to compile and find the various ways of reaching the session class), then comment out the accessors, hit compile, and visit each error. But I can't do that with built in .NET framework types.
I decided to try using Reflector. I've analyzed the "Used By" for each of the following:

I need to find a code that (when i click the "Search" Button) will start searching for all available lan and wireless connections.
All the available selections will be shown in a List Box provided.
Once i find one i want to use, i can stop the search (by pressing another button "Stop" in this case) or just straight away click the one i want and press another button ("Select" in this case) and if it needs a password or WEP then it will display or it will just connect without asking.
I want my app to look for a byte pattern in a process and return the first memory address of that byte pattern. I know I should use ReadProcessMemory and a loop, but I don't really know how to create a function for that,
Now what I am trying to do is to find cycles in my graph. I have a user drawn graph using lines. Now what I want is to find out if any cycles exist in the graphs. My idea is to find a way to recognize a closed shape and then fill it in. I get this idea from ms paint , where if you draw shapes, the lines must intersect each other and form a cycle for the color to be in.
I am trying to search a drive letter (C drive) for a file in Vb.Net 2010. After I find the file path I want to run the executable. This is the code I am trying to use to find the file:
figured out a different way to code it that _should_ work around the problems people pointed out before.... but one problem is still the same, the examples I find to code pieces of this are all for old versions of visual basic, and don't workI'm a firefox extension developer. I wrote an extension to allow both private and normal browsing windows simultaneously by having two firefox processes. I figured out a way on the Mac to raise the private browsing process when appropriate... it looks like visual basic is the way to do it on Windows... so I'd like firefox to run a visual basic program that does the following:Look through the process table for all firefox.exe processesFind out the process id of the process that called the visual basic scriptThrow out the process ID of the parent process... now we should just be left with the "private browsing" firefox process
