View 1 RepliesIn vb2010 I started getting an error message because I was still using FileListBoxes from VB6 and now they supposedly aren't supported in 64 bit systems. So I am replacing those with ListBoxes. I got the images to load fine into the list box using the FolderBrowserDialog. but (see the snippet below), I want to filter for several image types, not just one or a generic wild card which would pull in even non-image filetypes. This language will only accept one extension wildcard parameter it seems:
(sp is a string containing the folderbrowser dialogue path)

Is it possible to limit the asp.net fileupload dialog to view only XML files?(Filer, .xml only)
Note: Not to check whether the extension is .xml, but to actually only let the user view xml files in the dialog.

Is there a way to get a list of all files in a folder but exclude a certain filetype/extension? Or is the only way to do it is to get all files & loop through them & exclude the filetype with an If statement?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to select a folder in a very similar way that we do using "OpenFileDialog". I searched for different sites and did find something but all of codes were tweaking "OpenFileDialog" and selected files..... I have seen applications where the select dialog box does NOT show the "File Type" as well as the "Open" button has "Select" name on it. Any idea how to get such dialogbox?
View 8 RepliesHas anyone managed to get administration rights through the UAC without restarting the application or embedding a manifest file?
I'd like to write to some files that only administrators can modify, without relying to another elevated application. Is it possible to impersonate an administrator previously calling with some native API the UAC prompt?
I guess this is not possible and I'll have to use an external tool with elevated rights, but I'm asking just in case.
EDIT: I know there are some other similar questions around, but since they do not cover the topic of impersonation (as fas as I've seen), nor some possible native call to the UAC prompt I decided to give a new thread a go...
is there a function that makes the program wait? and is there something that makes the program restart itself?
View 6 RepliesI've made an application that is meant to be run without administrator privileges in Windows Vista / 7, because UAC disables drag and drop events from lower applications into higher ones, because they could pass bad information into the high trust ones [for example, standard explorer cannot pass files into my program that a user might run in administrator].

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
I have an application which has a thread running which makes constant calls to a server. Occasionally, the calls become unresponsive, and I would like to stop and then restart the thread.How do I do this? I can't use mythread.Abort() because then it doesn't allow me to start the thread again.

View 1 RepliesI've a website that puts info into a mySQL database and a windows service (written in VB.Net) that polls the db and actions what's in there.However, occasionally it stalls and rather than having to RDP into the server, I want superusers to click on a button to restart the service.I can get the button to say, do a directory listing of c: output to a test file so the whole 'getting a command to execute on a remote server' issue works. However, I can't restart services.I assume this is a security thing (although it has full rights to c: I thought I'd sussed that already).The website runs under the normal IUSR_user so am I doing something really stupid or can someone explain how to get the service to be restarted ?
View 4 RepliesI want to know how can I restart a terminated thread?I have a 3 buttons (Button1: Start/Resume, Button2: Pause, Button3: Cancel) code like this;
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If (CrawlerThread.ThreadState And ThreadState.Unstarted) <> 0 Then
CrawlerThread.Start()
CrawlerThread.IsBackground = True
Else
CrawlerThread.Resume()
[Code]...
When I click to Button1 it starts to thread, then If I click to Button2 it stops as well then I click to Button1 again to resume it. All these processes works fine. But when I click to Button3 for terminating to thread, yeah It works, after that If I click to Button1 to start it again It gets a error: "Thread is not running; it cannot be resumed."

View 3 RepliesI want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
View 1 RepliesI developed a chat application with an attendant chat server. Everything is working fine. The issue now is the fact that whenever the chat server goes down (for instance, the server system shuts down as a result of power failure or some other problem), by the time the server system come back on, the chat server would have to be restarted manually.
I believe (and I know) it is more appropriate for the chat server application to restart itself when the computer comes back on (and of course regardless of who is logged in and of course, even before anyone logs in). I have a batch file that executes the chat server. My attempt was to create a windows service that start automatically and runs this batch file using a Network Service account on the server system. Although, I'm having a hard time with this (temporarily), I would love to ask if there are any alternatives to using a windows service.
I finally figured out exactly what I do not understand in vb.net. What I am needing to know is how to associate one object to another such as how would I associate text box(A) with text box( so that text box ( gives me the correct output after I type input into text box (A).
View 4 RepliesI am making a program with tabs, and in each tab is a textbox for editing a file (like how VB's designer does). How can I match up a textbox with a tab so that the cut, copy, paste, select all, etc. in the menu can tell what textbox to preform actions on? I was thinking of getting the current selected tab, and somehow finding the textbox associated with that tab.
View 15 RepliesI am trying to find a way to associate a key with an index for a Listviewitem in VB.Net. I'm not even sure if it can be done with .Net but I know in VB6 I could do a
Listview.listitem.add "somestring", "somestring".
For the application I am using this in, I cannot have duplicate item.text so I would make the key the same as the string. this also made accessing the item easier since I didn't have to rely on index to update the subitems.
I am facing another issue. I want to associate a timer to my function. Actually what i am doing is that i am tryin to store certain values in a database. A function is such that it calculates 5 values and stores them in a database. While storing them in the database it displays them in a textbox on the form. Now i want to display them one by one which it does. But it does it so fast that i can only see the last value that it enters in the database inside the textbox.
Can i make it show all the values slowly one by one.

I have gotten my application to open with an associated file type, but now I'm trying to figure out how to associate the file types to the app. I associated them on my PC manually by right clicking on a file and selecting "Open With.." and check-marking "Always use this application to open this file type".What I want to do, is have my program make itself the default application for a file type with the press of a button.If it makes it easier, I'm writing a text editor and want to give the users the option of making it the default text editor for .txt &/or .rtf files.

In my VS-2008 (VB.Net) application, I am using a background worker to make my main form more responsive. In case of any error (in DoWork event) I m displaying the error on another form. In this case main form cant be a parent of error form so if main form is clicked, error form go in the background (behind main form). I want to restrict the user to interact with the main form while error form is appearing. Is there any way to associate these two forms such that error form always appear in front of main form.
