How do we embed / attach a pdf file (100 page file) in one of our form and the users should be allowed to download the same while executing /using this tool.
View 5 RepliesI am creating a windows application using visual studio. I want somehow to insert an excel file into the application so the user will be able to download it from the program and save it to his computer. This means that the file will be a part of the program. There will be a button that will prompt the user to save the particular file somewhere so he can then view it.
What should I do in order to "embody" the excel file to the application? And what code should I write to link the file with the button?
I have no experience on this matter, so I do not expect anyone to explain in details how this is done, just point me in the right direction, maybe tell me what the correct name for this is. I'm sure it is pretty commonly in use.
I think the best way to explain this, is through my exact need. So, I have a button on my website that should cause the user to download an exe file. The exe file pretty much gathers a few informations from the users PC, and post them to my data-base through a web-service. Now my problem is, these informations should be assigned to the user who downloaded the exe file's row in the DataBase.All this would be solved by assigning a single Integer value(the users ID) to this exe file on the download request, and then a way for the exe file to also get this value assigned to it, but how do I do that?
My language is asp.net for my website, and the exe file is written in vb.net.I know I could fake this by making the exe file show a login-form and get the user-id this way, but I really like the application run without the user noticing to much.
I'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.
Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?
It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.
I'm planning to make a program that Allows the user to type in the Download Link of another program, and then Run it. I do not want the file to be saved on the user computer.
View 1 RepliesI am wanting to create an application that will monitor the upload/download traffic of a user. Can someone point me too some code that I can have a look at?I have found SharpPcap - A Packet Capture Framework for .NET, but cannot find any vb.net code for it.
I have found this code:
Dim Properties As IPGlobalProperties
Dim StatV4 As IPGlobalStatistics
Properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties
StatV4 = Properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics
Dim Packets As Long = StatV4.ReceivedPackets
What actually is a 'packet'? Can I calculate the download/upload from this code by maybe multiplying the recievedPackets by packet size... or something like that?

View 10 RepliesIve been working recently on a chat. Ive been using FTP to comunicate through both forms but it need to constantly download the new data and make the application freeze. Even with a Backgroundworker. So my question is : is there a way to keep a constant connection between the form and the host? And not LAN ,I mean that doesnt need to be on the same router.

I'm using this code to download a file can I add User Agent String so protocol analyzers could have info about this download with a custom string I make.
I'm creating a CD that when inserted into a CD-Rom will AutoRun, which brings up the program starting with a splash screen, then the first window form. All this works, no problem. On the first window form I have a button (one of many) all buttons work (so far) except this one button. (I actually haven't test3d the buttonjs to see if they work on / from a CD yet, but they work in Debug).
I would like to have the user click the button, and have that button be tied to a zip file or an exe file that is in a folder on my CD, that will be downloaded to the user's computer. I would like the usual window to come up asking the user where the user would like to save the file, the user will choose the folder, click the save button and the file downloads from the CD to the hard drive of the user's computer, so the user can open it later. It doesn't have to Run from the CD, it is just to download to be accessed later.
Some files will be a Zip and others are Exe files that I would like to have downloaded to the user's PC by way of a button click. Of course the user's computer will need to be able to know which drive the CD is in.
This is what I've tried and doesn't seem to work...Have not tried it from directly from CD (Haven't tried anything directly from the CD as of yet, but after this problem my next step is try and make a AutoRun CD and test the program).
Process.Start(Application.StartupPath &
"SoftwareApp1.zip")
I'll start another post for How to Make my Program ready for a CD. I think it may involve Publishing...but publishing only made a setup.exe, which is Not what I want.
I have the following code that generates a csv file on a button click. [Code] What I want to do is open a download dialog box that will allow the user to open or save that file it has just created.
View 2 RepliesI want to make a simple file downloader that downloads files off the internet partially executables from [URL]
What I am after is when I click on a hyperlink label it downloads the file or comes up with the Dialog box to download the file off the internet all of which will be executable files
I ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name:
MYSERVER
[URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name:
downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt'
server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in:
"MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as:
<a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"
How do I make it so that when the user clicks on a download link, the download dialog is surpressed?
View 5 RepliesI has a download button in my web application. When I click the button, it will search for the particular path in my local pc and get the file for the user to download. May I know is it possible to do so using vb.net for web application?
View 5 RepliesMy goal is to take some form inputs and prompt the user to download a summary of everything once a certain button is clicked. I have no need for the file once it is downloaded and so I'd like to have a solution where the data is streamed directly to the user. My current solution doesn't even prompt the user for a download. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?[code]....
View 2 Replieshow can I download file form another computer and save it to my computer..
View 1 RepliesI got two issues getting my application to download a file. One small and one rather big.The downloader seems to have an issue using the users full download capability while the downloaded size is under 1 MB. As soon as it hits that, it seems to speed up with 10-100 times the previous speed.(Snippet at the end of the post)It seems to have to do with the filesize, which is about 5GB. As soon as my application hits about 1GB it completely locks up. (Without an error message, which I do have built in with a try...catch statement)I actually have to force quit the app to make it stop.It works perfectly fine with a 20MB file.I have the idea it's because of the int64's I use. But I need to use those (afaik) due to the big file size.[code]

View 2 RepliesI was thinking to make an app to save images [or download images] to local hard disk. But to keep it easy, I want this app to create a small picturebox on form to show the thumbnail of downloaded image. Lets say a 5 pictureboxes has to be added with the thumbnails to show the recent downloads. A user can save the location where he wants to save the files on hard disk. A listbox or a dropdown menu will help in categorizing the images, like image1 in friends section, image2 in family section, image3 in others, etc... When the program restarts all the latest 5 thumbnails has to be loaded in pictureboxes and the directory that was chosen. Finally, a button that shows the downloaded images into original image file size one by one or a slide show. Is it possible to make such program?

View 2 RepliesI have finished coding a VB.Net application that has connection to SQL Express 2008 database. My question is, what steps do I have to take to make this a multi user application.
FYI:There are 3 tables in the database of which two tables contain data to be viewed by the user and one table is to insert records by the user. The former two tables will be edited by the administrator only. So there is no issue of concurrency. But the one table that is used to insert records by all users has to be dealt with.
I want to about a multiuser application that have a server and 2 or 5 client to interect with mssql thorough application. how multiple cleint connect to database in same time.
