View 5 Repliesim having a problem getting free direct linking file hosting for my updater program to work. im currently trying to use google docs for this but it doesnt support .exe files.what im thinking about doing is zipping it and downloading the zip then unpacking it in the code. anyone have an easy way of doing this or an alternate solution to this problem?
View 1 RepliesOnce again, im stuck, ive searched everywher I do not understand at all the zip extraction libraries
Now what im wanting to do is unzip a file mentioned in a texbox and then a directory mentioned in My.Settings.Directory with a progress bar, with a label that changes text, for example: Unpacking, % unpacked or files that are being unpacked.
I want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.
I am unzipping a file on a XP machine. to do this i am using the Shell process
For Each setfiles As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(mydesktop, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.zip")

I have a vbscript that does the following but I want to do it in vb .net and was hoping someone could post some sample code to get me started. The script does the following. Monitors 2 folders specified in a config file. When a zip file is put in the one of the folders it us automatically unzipped to a working folder and then the zip file is renamed to unzipped-<zip>.zip. I am hoping someone could post a visual studio project or code that might help me get started.

I need my program to 'take a peek' into a ZIP file and see if it contains a certain file. I need it to do this many times for a large number of files, so I would prefer it without having to unzip the entire zip-file each time, as that would take far too much time (it's a fairly large zip-file of about 250 MB).Also, I don't need the actual file at all. All I need to know is if it exists inside the zip file.
vb.net
If IO.File.Exists("C:FolderIPFile.zipfolder_in_zipfile.jpg") Then
' "file.jpg" exists inside zip-file!

I have a question here. I'd like to develop a vb.net program to run thru all source code in a folder to look for certain strings.my initial thought is to create an .ini file then program will read the strings then start searching in the source code for the strings entered.
the final output will be an excel sheet, stating the filename and the line number.
is this a good way to do it? if yes, can i ask for a skeleton program?if no, any other way?

Lets get down to it, Basically, I'm making a kind of "Anti-Hack" for a project I'm working on.The basis of the "Anti-Hack" is the check processes for names of known Memory Editors, For example, one memory editor I am scanning for is Cheat Engine.exe, I am using this code to scan for it, then I use the result to activate a different piece of code.
If Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine").Length = 0 The
'It's OK
Else
<Removed for obvious reasons>
End If
Basically, I don't want my code to look like a library of If statements when the only thing I am changing is the process name, what I want to do, is have an encrypted .dat file with an array or list of known tools. I want to then go through the array/list and keep checking for instances of them running.I know nothing of how to encrypt/decrypt .dat files through VB. (I'm not an expert at it atm )I am open to other ways (Easier ways) of doing this, like a Class with a list of names etc.
**NOTE** I would rather it be a separate file as the program features an Auto-Update feature, so it will be easier to update the list.
**IMPORTANT**Also, I would like to know how to hide my process, so it cant simply be ended, It may sound suspicious but people will be able to just close it and start hacking T_T, Unless there is another way, I would appreciate it (Like making it so it cant be ended etc.)**IMPORTANT.
I am a beginner so please be patient. I am trying to solve problems with existing code.

I'm copying over some files to a target directory on a daily basis.Before I move the new files over, I'd like to delete the old files under the target folder, possibly using System.IO.Directory.Delete()But my problem is, the target folder is on a public drive where everybody in the company could access, and I don't want to empty the folder while someone else might be using those files.I'm thinking whether there's a Class that check the status on the files in a specific directory before I come in and delete everything.(I know I would get an IOException if I disregard the status of the files and try to delete them)
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create an application that will copy files with a "*.1" extension over to another directory and change the file extension to .tif. The problem is that the *.1 files are located within zip files. Is it possible to copy files out of a zip file without having to extract it? The code I have so far is below. I have only gotten to the point to list all *.zip files found in a specific directory in a listbox. I am really looking to list all *.1 files found within all .zip files in a specific directory. Once they are all listed in the listbox, I will then chose a destination directory, copy them to the destination directory and change the files from a .1 extension to a .TIF extension.
