View 3 RepliesI am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
Here is the code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
[CODE].............................
In a solution with multiple projects, one project that compiles to a .exe and a .dll has hitherto been successfully included in the Application Folder list and worked fine. After a recent revision to that project I deleted the .exe reference in the Application Folder list to remove both files prior to using Add > File to relist the new versions, but somehow although the .exe has gone the .dll remains in the listing and I now can't get rid of it - the right-click Delete function is disabled, and I can't see another way to remove this orphan file reference. Also if I now Add > File and point to the new .exe to bring it into the File System Application Folder list, after a couple of seconds the whole VS environment closes without an error message and I have to open VS again to restart.
Does anyone know how to unscramble this - presumably by editing something to remove the orphan .dll from the list? I use VS-2010 but this solution was imported and updated from VS-2005 some months ago, and since then has been fine.
how should i copy a file in system32 folder from resources folder .resx file of my windows application?
View 1 RepliesI have a utility that is a simple exe that is not installed compiled with VS2005 and works well. But when I upgraded to VS2008 the utility can no longer locate files in the active system folder. I have UAC turned off and am logged in as the Administrator and it still can not locate a file that I can see in Windows Explorer. The file I am looking for is PakMgr.exe.
View 1 RepliesI have a vb .net application where the user can choose a directory into which an excel file is written. If the user selects a system directory (yes, my users do this, don't ask me why) then a System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException is thrown at runtime. I am handling this exception telling the user to please select another directory.
View 1 RepliesI want the user to have the option to choose between a lot of pictures in a project folder. So I made a new project folder called: Images.
And when the user presses a certain button this folder should be opened.I want to achieve this like this:
[code]...
I'm trying to move a lot of pictures from FOLDER A to another, FOLDER B. However, some of the pictures already exists in the FOLDER B. This stops my program saying it cannot copy the pictures over because they already exist. I'm trying to make it so any pictures from FOLDER A will copy over the pictures in FOLDER B if they are similar in name. Like... Folder A's pictures will just replaced the Folder B pictures if they have the same name. I was told to use the System.IO.File.Copy tool. Here is my code.

In my Project I want to Drag the text of the Text Box into any Particular cell of the DataGrid which ever user wants to,
but my problem is I am not able to find the Coordinates of the cell cell in which user will drop the text and hence not able to put the text into desired Cell.
Code snippet below shows the code in the Dragdrop event of the dataGrid
Dim sText As String = ""
Dim nrow As Integer = 'Need to get this rowIndex
Dim nCol As Integer = 'Need to get this ColIndex
[Code].....
I don't know how exactly it is called but I look for a function like in Excel when I write e.g. in the first cell a 1 and then pull the field down with my mouse and it automatically completes the following cells like that:
1
2
3

I am trying to drag and drop form one DataGridView to another. Also try to drag n drop from one listview to and another the complete row in multi column listview but only get first column.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to (without a mile of code) Drag and drop files from a datagrid to the desktop or open folder?
I have tried this:
Dim sFile As String = "D: est.pdf"
C1Grid_Documents.DoDragDrop(New DataObject(DataFormats.FileDrop, sFile), DragDropEffects.Copy)
But no file is created.
I have been able to implement drag and drop successfully on my listView object if you were to drop a file on it, however I seem to be having some troubles if the user were to drag the folder onto the object. Is there a simple way to check if the user dropped a folder, and if so, list all of the files in the folder/subfolders?
View 6 RepliesI've been looking into centralising my computer game saves to make it easier to backup and restore as well as putting them up on the cloud via dropbox but there in so may places that it makes it quite difficult. I noticed the Windows 7 and Vista now support Symbolic links so I've been playing around with that but I was wonder the follow:
Is it possible (code example or a point in the right direction) for an application (vb.net or C++) to spoof a file or folder?
E.g. Application A (a game like Diablo III or Civilization V) attempts to read or right from file A (the game save), application B (the save repository) detects this read/write request and pipes the request through itself preforming the request on file B (the actual game save in another location). Application A is in no way altered and treats the file normally.
Note: I realise there are many simple ways of preforming the same task in essence such as monitoring the use of Application A or periodically checking file A and copying it if it has been altered since the last check etc but all these methods have draw backs and less interested in making it work than if it is possible.
I am working on a application that store files.The user has the possibility to remove this file from the folder via the application.The problem is that if the appliction is open i can not delte the file.what is the best strategy to deal with this kind of problem?

So basically im around 2 months into building a text based rpg game in vb 2010 which is coming along lovely. there are unique charachter creations, bans, loans, monsters to fight, levels, skill points, spells, inn's, etc etc... you get the idea. so now its time to move on to one of the largest problems of all. an inventory :O now, i have a db with the correct information in, i have even sorted all the code for the program to read the db with the correct items and its all working fine. but now i would like to have a more gui system. meaning:a grid based box where pictures of each Item_ID are displayed so you can see what items are in your inventory at any time. now i can sort this out myself with a case select and just load all the images into the local resource and pull itempictue1 when id = 1 itempicture2 when id=2 etc etc you get the idea. what i was woundering is...
could i build a drag and drop system where the player can move the items inside the inventory fairly easily? i have done some research into this but as vb isnt much of a gaming language i've run into a fair few dead ends. Not sure if i have come across right, but in essence, if you have a grid, 4x4 and item 1 is in grid space 1 and item 2 is in grid space 2.. to swap them around with the mouse.Please, dont shout if im asking too much :L nobody likes haters. any help is much appreciated and if you dont think vb can do this then please tell me and i will consider all alternate possibilities unless you have a better idea?
