I'm using vb 2010, and a newbie programmer I just want to ask how to change the description of the .exe file from WindowApplication1 to something else and how to change its icon? By the way, does applications made in vb 2010 requires .net Framework to run? Because i tried to run my .exe file in another pc but it gives me an error.

View 4 RepliesI 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.
Please can you tell how I can change the name of the All Programs > Text description of the program when it has been installed?

View 19 RepliesI want to get the description of an external .exe file from my vb.net app, rather like in task manager. My program can monitor active processes and open their file locations, but it cannot get their descriptions (like in task manager) I want it to be able to do this, and I've found the following code to get the description of a normal file (I had to re-write it from csharp):

i am trying to change the name of a music file, that has the new name set as its description title.

I am currently using the registry to get file descriptions for files. As an example, so that a DOCX file will return the description "Microsoft Word".

View 6 RepliesWhen I look at a file on my hard disk, e.g. test.csv, when I look at the Properties of the file, it is officially known as, "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File", and file types of .pdf are listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document", etc. etc. All of this information can be seen in Windows Explorer too when my folders are displayed by Details. How do you get at this "type of file" information with .NET?

I have a form that has appx 20 checkboxes. The data is stored in xml. We would like to have a textbox or panel at the bottom of the screen to display information about the check box. Just like the property box in the IDE. The information will be store in the description attribute. Does vb.net have functions that do that already or do I need to program for that? Also would I be best to but the description attribute on the xml or the property on the programs?

View 11 Repliesis there any way to get the Description of an application using VB.NET? So for example, instead of displaying Word.doc, Powerpoint.ppt... etc in a listbox, is it possible to display Microsoft Office Word 2007 if lets say the default return name is the shortcut name(with extension)?
EDIT: To check the Description of an application, go to your application, right click -> Properties -> General and you'll see the Description text.
This is how it goes. Currently, I'm using OpenFileDialog to open a file. However, am I able to get the Description(right click any program -> Properties -> General) of the file that I've chosen from there? I've found some leads with this .NET Application's Assembly path and Information. But that only applies to your own application itself.
View 4 RepliesWhere do you put the "main code" for lack of a better description? I can find all sorts of places to put code based on events like button clicks or forms loading. However, I can't seem to find a place to run code without an event (just idling).Basically I'm looking to monitor a file and call a sub when it changes. I can monitor the file fine based on the size but I can't figure out where to put code to call a sub when that changes. Everything seems based on user actions but that doesn't work in this case.

View 6 RepliesI'm writing a VB.NET function with a ton of overloads. I've seen that most .NET functions have parameter descriptions in IntelliSense. For example, when typing in String.Compare(, IntelliSense says Compares two specified System.String objects and returns... you get the idea. This description changes and you click through different overloaded versions of the same functions. When you start typing in something for a parameter, it describes the parameter you're currently inputting as well. Example: strA: The first string to compare..
