C# - Uploading To Dropbox Using Sharpbox API?
Mar 26, 2012
I am attempting to use the Sharpbox API to upload a file to my dropbox account. However, when I attempt to upload a file to the "Public" folder, I get an error stating: "Couldn't retrieve child elements from the server".I have followed the steps on page 10-11 of the documentation pdf and here is the code I am currently using (as a test I am trying to upload the token.txt file):
[Code]...
EDIT: However, I just realised that you cannot share files within the apps folder (that GetRoot points to), so therefore the problem is still occurring for me.
EDIT 2: I think the problem is due to permissions when creating your app on dropbox. When you first create the app, there is the option to grant access to either the "Apps" folder, or the entire users' dropbox. I was getting the error then I created a new app that requested access to the entire users' dropbox and was then able to get at the public folder.

How can i create a file onto dropbox.My goal is to create a Chatting Form where the user types in his/her name or types in the name of another person. If he types in the name of another person, it will see if the file exists in dropbox. If the user types in his/her name, then it will create a txt file in dropbox named after the user's name.then my application will update the file every 5 seconds. that way the chat can commence.or is there another way. My goal is to create a chat between computers on different networks, without using Any TCP/IP (not very familiar with it, and could give me errors).Dustin_K "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't."

I have a small program I am building for my boss to keep track of workers at certain job sites. With the way the economy is going my boss wants to track who is showing up at specific sites (jobs) and try to even it out among all the employees - some are not working full time... Anyway, I have two Access tables linked together with the main table being Employee Data. The second Table is Employee Jobs. Basically I have three forms. The main form on startup will show all of the employees in the company - this is basically a list of all added employees into the database (the second form comes up when you click on "ADD" - adding employee info).
My third form will be a form that basically pulls in the database info for the employee and drops all the employee names into a list box. I see in the tools section you can have a list box with check boxes next to the listed items. The form will basically be a form where job info will be saved to the database - like which job number, location etc. Instead of having to click on each employee that was at the same job and enter the information individually I would like a pull down box (with the check boxes next to each name) and then click on the employees that were at the job. Then hit save and basically all of the same job info will get saved to only the employees whose names were checked.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. some code snippets? Or explain how checking all the different names will cause the same work info to be saved to each each employees profile in the Access database?

I want to know how dropBox is able to synchronize the large data files without replacing or re-uploading the files again to the dropbox server
Example: an encrypted zip archive
Suppose I've a 1GB encrypted zip archive file Fully synchronized on my computer and on the dropbox servers. On my computer I added to that zip archive file a file of size about 5MB then saved the file on my computer. Dropbox is able to synchronize zip archive file without re-uploading the whole file again instead it just update it with the small change I've done. Also TrueCrypt containers works in that manner.

I am a complete Newbie, but have been struggling on reading one forum after the other.I have now come across a new challenge and every bit I have tried I have failed miserably.I have a Table I placed in Gridview on a Form and it shows me:
AssetNo
ReportGroup
Denomination
RecordDate
[code]....
To just test with the combobox and one Date Picker.As Mentioned Above this returns a Blank in my combobox and Gridview and there is no AssetNo to pick from in the ComboBox anymore.

I'm a Visual Basic beginner. I want to replicate an existing Mac application that I have with Visual Studio 2010. As you see below, this application (Mac version)'s form has a folder picture at the center. That's a drop box onto which the user can drag and drop a folder, and the application will get its path and write it to a database when the user clicks on Add. Now, according to Microsoft's web site, the PictureBox control has a property called AllowDrop, which is what I need, except that I don't see it as you see below. If PictureBox doesn't have AllowDrop, then what will be my next best alternative to accept a file/folder while displaying a picture?

I am trying to import an excel file using asp.net and C#. I found an example in VB, but it is using something called "Server.MapPath" which is not resolving to a namespace. I am on .NET 4.0, C#, and windows XP.I found a "HttpServerUtility.MapPath", but I don't know if this is the equivalent for IIS7?
C#
public OleDbCommand ExcelConnection()
{
string conStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("~/ExcelImport.xls") + ";" + "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;";

I am using My.Computer.Network.UploadFile(arg1,arg2,username,pass) & sometimes it returns an error to me about not being logged in?I keep using IE & such to visit the ftp'd pages & even login & logoff the ftp site server at times, but seemingly randomly it will fail, even if I use try catch statement, it seems to keep wanting to fail till i go back to IE & go to a webpage on the server or log back in to the account management through IE.
Should it not be authenticating & working correctly each & every time regardless unless the server can't be reached? Why is it wanting to fail SOMETIMES when closing these webpages/logging out on IE only, why is this seeming to have any bearing on this failing in VB.

I'm looking for the easiest way to do it. After long researches, I've found those explanations.

I am currently creating a FTPWebrequest to handle my uploading (the webrequest section of my function is below). At the moment my code loops through this webrequest section for each file - giving the file path of each file in the string "CompleteLocalPath". For each file it creates a webrequest and giving the required file path, uploading the file using a file stream, and then closing the stream. This works, but seems to take quite a long time. Can you recommend a more efficient way? Perhaps by using one webrequest but modifying the upload path?

My idea is to add a entry to the windows context menu "Host File"
Then it will upload it to tinypic.
I assume it would have to be done using httpwebrequest?

i have made a program that takes info from your registry and uploads it so I can fix it and you can download the new version of a key that makes things work faster.... when someone uploads a file, it works good, and i can look at the ftp's text file and see it, but every time someone ELSE uploads something, it overwrites the previous text file and makes another one, which deletes the first one. i would like so that when another person uploads something, it will just be on the second line then third, so on so forth.

I have always used the API for Vb.net from Decaptcher.com and have always sent the Captcha by sending an actual url to them as you see in the code below. Or maybe it uploaded the image anyway to them (I use the Webbrowser Control) [code] But with the current project that I am working on right now I am having to take a screen shot of the captcha image, then save it to my harddrive.I know that through your API Decaptcher allows us to upload the image from our harddrive but I just can't figure out how to use the code to do this.

The above coding correctly loads images into an array of 10. I'm looking for a way to upload all 10 of them using ftp.I have only found a way to do one file at a time, but I want to loop it or something, and I can't get that to work.That FTP Upload coding errors on the line: I don't know why, but it correctly converts an image using ImageToByteArry conversion, yet it loads nothing into the byte, so it errors.

I have trying to upload some large files using FTP. Here is the code I am using below.
Private Sub UploadFTP()
' Open file.txt with the Using statement.
Using r As StreamReader = New StreamReader("list.txt")[code]....
I basically loop the above to upload all the files in a specific directory. This works fine with small text files,but when I try uploading a large 30+- mb file it gives me an error.
Quote: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
On
cls_stream.Close()
I understand this is caused by .Net not communicating with the server properly? I tried searching all morning to only get confused by all the different methods.

When i upload a picture onto my form my mouse starts lagging, everything starts lagging as a matter of fact. I think some settings have to be changed. What is happening to me right now is that i am moving a picture box around the screen and it lags when i move it with the uploading picture on the background. But when there is no picture on the background form there is no lag...! The picture box i am using is transparent is its suppose to show the form.

Yes I have been using your Service for many months.I have always used the API for Vb.net and have always send the captcha by sending an actual url to you. (I use the Webbrowser Control) I'll use for example this:
Dim dr As DecaptcherResult = DecaptAPI.GetCaptchaSolved(Me.WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("captcha_image").GetAttribute("src"))
But with the current project that I am working on right now I am having to take a screen shot, then save it to my harddrive.
I know that through your API you allow us to upload the image from our harddrive but I just can't figure out how to use the code. I have tried this but it doesn't work:
Dim dr As DecaptcherResult = DecaptAPI.GetCaptchaSolved("c:1Untitled.jpg") proper code to send the image and get the response.
