View 20 RepliesWhats the easiest way to change a sheet name of a newly create .xls file using VB.net.
The .xls is created as follows in a directory location:
filename = strDirectoryName & "1-TestFeedFile-" & strToday & "-" & iFile.ToString() & "of" & totalFile.ToString() & ".xls"
outputWriter = File.CreateText(filename)
The header of the xls file is created as follows:
line = "Blah1" & Chr(9) & "Blah2" & Chr(9) & "Blah3" & Chr(9)
outputWriter.WriteLine(line)
This code was orginally written to create a .txt file but was changed to a create a .xls, in that case I'm wondering if i'll have to change the code to create an new excel object which then can be used and access its sheet property?I don't mind if the solution is in VB.net or C#
I know album name is usually to music files & stuff probably but I guess album is what I need to categorize my video files correctly in Windows Media Player as it does organize my music files correctly when using album name & title. Anyways, these files I just want to change album name at the least & the description is something else I'd like to change on them as well. These files when I right click & go to properties then over to the details tab will show all the things like it usually does, but it will not let me change them. I am guessing this has to do because they are protected type files but I just want to change some things so they display correctly in Windows Media Player.
It already lets me change attributes inside Windows Media Player & at the bottom pane of the screen in explorer when the file is selected of attributes the file already had, but it won't let me add in the album name & description since it didn't start with one. I don't want to get rid of the protection on the files to be able to add these attributes either as I thought that was illegal or something, plus I don't want to download another program I don't have just to do this, whether it be a protection remover (which I said above, I think is illegal, even if it wasn't or isn't, I still wouldn't want to do that anyways) or even a thing that can change the attributes for me I wouldn't want to download since I just don't like downloading things that I won't use often, even if it's easy to remove & everything.
Since I already have VIsual Basic 2010 Express Edition installed I would just like to code something to change these attributes programmatically. It can be a simple textbox which is the location of the file and a button which changes the album name and description to "Just Text" that way I can put in each file I want to change & then click a button and it will be good from there. I will be able to change the variables after they are there to what I want after that from explorer or windows media player so I don't care for having textbox to change album name & description per file as I can just do this in explorer afterwords to what I want. By the way, files are in .wmv file format.
