View 1 RepliesI'm using vb express 08 and I'm writing a program that requires the name of (and possibly location) as the form header as well as the name of the program itself.
for example; when you open MS Word, the title displayed at the top is [file name] - Microsoft Word
I'm trying to get my Applications title bar to change the text once the user loads up a file. So far I have gotten it so it will load up the File name into the title bar, but I would like it to show MicroText - OpenFileName... OpenFileName being the name of the file that was opened.

I have a big XML files with lots of Attribute names and Values.
How to get all attribute name and check with user specified name, and change its value not name..
<cont>
<have>
<xmls>

I want to find a specific attribute name and change the value of it...
If I want to chand the background color of all the child windows opened i would use this:
For Each chld As Form In Me.MdiChildren
chld.BackColor = Color.LightGray
Next chld
I have a userControl that I made, and it was placed on a form with other controls.On the form I pass the values from the other controls to a Function inside the userControl, this then takes the values passed in and the values on the userControl to make and return an object.
The Problem is that when it gets down to '.GameOppScore = OppScore' it decrements .GameScore by 1 and then decrements .GameOppScore by 1. It does nothing to the passed in values or the value in the input text box.
It just randomly decides to -1, I walked through the code while running and couldn't find a reason why it would do that.

I got a properties class that I send to a PropertyGrid. I want to change the [readonly] attribute of some properties in realtime. Below is an example of such a property in vb.net...
<CategoryAttribute("Graph Limits"), _
Browsable(True), _
[ReadOnly](False), _
BindableAttribute(False), _

I have a class created for use with the PropertyGrid control in a VB.Net application. One of the properties of the class is:

If I want to chand the background color of all the child windows opened i would use this:

i have already implemented a solution of my own but it's too slow and i can't find any relevant literature on the internet.

I have an app that reads the file attribute to determine if it is normal, readonly or archive. Nowhere can I find the numerical values that equate to normal, readonly or archive, however I have debugged & found that archive is 32. The files on the cd are 33, what type of attribute is this and where is a list of all numerical values that equate to a file attributes type?

View 11 RepliesI am trying to read through a bunch of sub directories checking to see if the archive bit is set on any file and if so then I intend to create a zip file of the entire folder as a backup copy and then I need to reset the archive bit.
The problem is that I do not want to change any other attributes that may be set and for some reason I do not see a way to retain these while clearing the archive bit.
I am also not sure if the method I am using for checking the archive bit will work correctly in cases where the file is also read only or hidden or other such attribute.
Let say, a file has the following attributes: ReadOnly, Hidden, Archived, System.
How can I remove only one Attribute? (for example ReadOnly)[code]...
I've been linking to an external config file using <appSettings file="blah"> since VS 2003. I just created my first 2010 project, and I get no data from my file, nor any error. [edit]This functionality works as expected when I point to 3.5 framework.Another note, if I copy the other config to the debug directory and reference it by file name it works. When I use the UNC path it doesn't. The UNC path has worked for many of my past projects. Maybe it's a 4.0 security setting somewhere?
View 2 RepliesI have an XML configuration file to which I will occasionally add new elements and, for ease of reading outside of the application, I want to keep it sorted alphabetically - by the "key" attribute of the "add" elements.After a lot of trial and error - using code I've gleaned from here, there and everywhere - I've come up with the code below. It appears to work okay, but I'm only just starting to learn Linq to XML, so I'd like to know whether this is an appropriate method or if there is a better/ more efficient method I've missed. It just feels like I might be taking an unnecessary step in recreating the entire file element.
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = <configuration>[code]....
EDIT: I think I've worked out a better way to do this - without explicitly recreating all the parent tags in thesortExvariable:
Dim newEx = cfgEx.<appSettings>(0)
newEx.Add(<add key=<%= sNewKey %> value=<%= sValue %>/>)
Dim sortEx = From c In newEx.<add> Order By c.@key Select c
newEx.ReplaceAll(sortEx)
cfgEx.Save(sXmlConfigFile)
create an app that can modify file attribute like hidden, archive, read-only.

I have a program that can save user's input into a text file and load it back, but whenever I try to open the file and exit without selecting the file I get an error.(if i select the file and open it i don't get any errors).
This is the code that handles text file loading:
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:"
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files ONLY (*.txt) | *.txt"
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
[CODE]...
The error is :"FileNotFoundException was unhandled. Could not find file at xxx". also I would like to know how to make it so that the initial file name for file saving is today's date. I do not get any errors when I try to save the file.
I need to open an excel file from vb.net and then search it for specific data. I then need to take those data and insert them into text boxes on a form that i have created. This is all controlled by a button click. I already have some code that will open a file dialog box and let me navigate to the correct file, but I am having trouble with the search portion. I have tried the Find function but I am not sure of the proper syntax. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and Excel 2003.

View 9 RepliesI'm having a slight problem getting my program to load a save file when double clicking the save file.I'm using the Command$() to get the command line argument. I can open a save file by dragging it onto the exe. But not by double clicking the save file (after it's associated with the exe).I though dragging and dropping a file on a program and double clicking the file would open it in the same way, but I guess not.So in short how does file association work and how do I get the file path set to a var when the program loads.

Okay that keeps the track of my log file inside my richtextbox , but there is a big problem there. My richtextbox slows down hard if the log file gets too big.. Sometimes it kicks me out of the program and in taskbar it says Program Not Responding..

I am using VB.net 2005 and I have a timer running on form1 that communicates modbus with a relay io board. There should be constant uninterrupted communication between the two devices and that is working until I open the data logging form2 and import data from a large sequential text file. While I am parsing data, the timer from form1 stops communicating with the modbus device. Once the data is done, the timer of form1 resumes communication with the modbus device. Is there some other method I could use to make sure the modbus communication is never interrupted.? Is there a command I can periodically run from form2 while the data is being parsed that will keep the timer on form1running?
