previously i have coded: Me.PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\JPG LandoltC" + filePath + ".jpg") where filePath is the function to locate the name of the pictures but now i have to put everything into the .exe to make it more "sightly" so now i'm trying Me.PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources.filePath and its not working.
I have made this installation program and everything work just fine, but I wish to improve it a little. Atm. all the files being installed is in a seperate folder, and the installation program simply move them to the right location.There is a builder program too.I would like it to add all files from a list to the programs resource.folder instead of a seperate folder.Atm I add the installation file to the destination folder with the following line. [code]
in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.
Im using Visual Studio 2008 and have an .exe file embeded in a resources called Extract.exe.How do i execute the exe file?i've tried My.Resources.EXTRACT but i just get an error saying
I wrote an application that copies files from Folder(A) into Folder (B) First it checks if the files exists if yes it will copy them and it will over write the them in fodler (B) and is working great , but if I have a file in Folder(B)that is located in a subfolder the file inFolder (A) will not be copied to the new location.
belwo is the code to copy the files if they exist :[code..]
In a program of mine, I have a resource (which is a textfile). This contains also vb.net code, It is resource which is binded to an .exe, with the mainprogram that I have. So the main program calls the resource, and the resource bind to an exe file.
I have this line: Declare Function GetProcAddress Lib "kernel32" (ByVal handle As IntPtr, ByVal name As String) As IntPtr In the source.txt and I want to replace this whole line by a string(or word) which calls this line from somewhere else. For example in another source.txt. A textbox is not possible because this is not a vb form, but a .txt-file. Maybe I can create another resource, which IS a vb.net form, call it or something? In this case. I can create a textbox with this line that I gave above, And I can use it by: textbox1.text.
Has anyone tried to call FindResource to determine the "TYPELIB" resource that is embedded in a COM server? I am using VB (.NET 2008) to try to accomplish this task. (Why? I want to distinguish between a COM server and other types).
So i created resource file New --> new file --> Native Resource Template Then added icons with custom id, like "x", "u_100", .. so i understand, what the files (in my case icons) is.. And i saved as 32-bit resource file (*.res) So i have a question, how can i use these files inside of resource file in my apps? i know how to add icons in to my app.. Me.Icon = New Icon(C:/icon.ico)
I have a resource file for a program, and i have determined that the resource file just a big string of files glued together whole, i know that the movies contained in the file are quicktime mov.

let's say I have an xml file that I want to read and write from, should I save the file in a specific location on a harddisk or should I keep it in the resource folder of the application?
my question is this which is in a 2 part question, if i put a standard .exe file in the resource folder in vb2008 this .exe file is a small vb6 program that i made to work with the .net
1. how could i start this little .exe program from this resourse folder
2. and when i build the .net program with this exe file in the resource folder will it stay in the folder after the build
I need a script that will check files in a certain folder (lets call it folder1) against files in another folder (folder2), if there are any new files, or changed files it updates them in folder2.
My Program uses Interop_JRO.dll to compact it's database I need the "stand alone" exe alone so I need to - mix dll with exe or - add dll to exe then copy to program folder how can i do this ?
I want to delete some resource components from resource folder of my vb.net project. When I do this, error is occurred during compile time. How can I do this while the project is not disturbed?
i have program that must connect to a database at startup, i want the program to first check if the database exists (incase the user deleted it by mistake). If it doesnt exist the program must copy one which i have as a resource, to a certain folder. I have run into a minor problem though.. How do i copy the file from resources to the folder because, the IO.File.Copy() method only allows me to put the file path.
I have completed my vb project and have created the set up files as well.. Now when I try to install my program on another machine then it gives me an error. I found out the problem and it seems to be two of the images are not loading even though i have saved them in my application folder.. But when i save them in the resource folder the program runs but does not displays the images stored in the resource folder.
dim tick as image tick = My.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("button-tick.png")
I added to images (.png) to my resource folder. When I am coding, only the first image is showing in the intellisense. Example: PictureBox1.Image = My.Resource.Picture1 I cannot get it to show me: My.Resources.Picture2 even though picture2 is in the resource folder.
I put an exe in the resources folder called 1.exe and put in the button event this command Proess.Start(My.Resources.1) But it gives me error can't find the specified file.
That i need to do is running file that i have put in the resource files (exe file)So the idea of this when i click the button the file that i have put run so it cant be happen with shell.

So I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):
Public Function ListAllDrives() As String() Dim arDrives() As String arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....
