I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 professional edition and I was wondering how to put files with a certain extension such as .txt from the applications current directory into a combo box in the application itself.
I have no idea how to do this or even if it's possible.Actually if no one knows I would like to ask how to get a button to open up one of those file browsers to look for a certain file and then assign a variable to the path of the file selected.
i have to get the files in all the directories with date formats in file name and also in extension. Some thing like new_mmddyyyy.txt / new_yyyymmdd.* like this....
View 14 RepliesI need to read the distinguished name of the current user (the one running the program) from Active Directory.I'm warm (I know I should use System. DirectoryServices and DirectorySearcher), but somehow I can't get the code to work properly, nor can I find a working example.Now, after having spent hours searching for examples on the internet, I'm getting quite frustrated with myself, so I turn to you hoping someone can provide an example.Why I need this: when people run this program, it needs to detect which OU they belong to. We have several sites (for example Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and depending on what site the user's OU is, I need to perform some actions. So I hope to derive f.e. "OU=Rotterdam" from their DN.

I have an ACCESS database containing VBA code residing on a USB drive in a directory called 'collect'. When the application runs the code uses a DLL that is in the same directory as the application. The code in the DLL is VB.NET.
The DLL is declared :
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "x:collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
This works fine but it only works when the USB drive is mapped to x:
The follwoing which I expected to work does not
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "wcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
and neither does
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

In one of the blogs I saw this peice to change the current directory. But I am not sure where to place this code.
System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
Application.StartupPath (this one doesn't work for me, missing a library?) I am using it to save a file, for argument sake, "test.txt"
