View 5 RepliesI've mainly been doing ASP programming up 'til now, and I have a pretty simple question.
I'm creating a program that will copy a selected file to a selected directory, and I want to store recent files/dirs so that they can be selected from a combo box. I was planning to just create a settings with "files" and "dirs", and just store the strings as | separated values (since that's an illegal file character).

First off, I am completely new to VB and have no previous programming experience. I was required to take an Intro to Visual Basic class.
As a result, I was assigned to write a program for my final project. My professor wanted us to challenge ourselves and try to design something we would use. While my fellow classmates chose damage calculators and stat calculators, I chose to write something that would move files around. It was challenging for a beginner, but i figured i would be able to find alot of help in my book and online. I'm impressed at myself that I've made it as far as I have, but I've hit a snag in the road.
The project is due friday, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the files... which is a bit of a problem.[code]....

I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.
I have some code that loads an XML which works fine, then it checks in a certain directory for a file. Then if that file exists it displays the file name if not it dispalys "no image available"
VB
FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog()
If RBFP1.Checked = True Then
TXTPath2.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(TXTPath2.Text & "DatabasesFuture PinballFuture Pinball.xml") Then
[Code] .....
WHY can I not check for the existence of a file in the c:windowssystem32 directory? The file IS there and this method still returns false.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to copy a file from my.resources to a user directory thus:-

I've also tried:-

Neither work.
what is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.
The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.
The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts
How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.
how do i retrieve the name of a file that a user selected that they want to delete?
View 4 RepliesSo here it is : how can iI get info about the file that user selected in windows ? For example: the user browse to C:windows (it isn't important where maybe desktop) through explorer and select a file ( he/she just select it, not open ). the moment that the file is being selected, how can I get info about that file? I think the file path is enough. I can get the rest detail with path.
View 7 RepliesHere is my code: [URL]..The goal is to get file path that was selected by the user in the Form1 class, transfer it to the File class, and do various things from there such word count, syllable count, etc.However Visual Studio says filePath isn't declared in the File Class, even though right above it you can clearly see it is.
View 6 RepliesI am using the OpenFileDialog component with a Button Sub to use the text file that the user selects (it can change everyday) in the next part of my program that will read that file and then covert it into an xml format. How do I get the second part of my program to use the file selected?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim sr As New System.IO.StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
MessageBox.Show(sr.ReadToEnd)
sr.Close()
End If
End Sub
In my Windows Form I have a ComboBox that is filled by a Stored Procedure with a list of names. I have the Combobox set for AutoComplete to "Suggest" and From "ListItems". When a user starts to type in and the AutoComplete does not find any matches in the listitems the user can tab out of the ComboBox and leave what they typed in the combobox even though it is not one of the Valid Items. Is there a way to check the Comboxbox to make sure of of the selected Items has been selected?
View 3 RepliesI've gone through about 16 hours and two packs of cigarettes trying to figure this out. First a little background. I was using 6.0 up until 2004 when I went to prison. I'm out now, and trying to relearn the trade, using VS 2005. I'm currently porting some 6.0 code from another project, SpyCast Webcam Studio, into VB 8.0. It's disheartening, to say the least. None of the old built-in subs/functions work anymore, so I have to scour the forums to relearn each and every function.The section I'm doing now takes a snapshot from the webcam (Video API --> PictureBox --> Save as Jpeg), then upens the file to upload it to the server via HTTP POST. I've been using this code in SpyCast for years with no trouble, but I spent many hours trying to piece together the right code to open the binary file to read its contents. I pieced together two methods I found around the forums, one using FileStream() though the code I found wasn't for binary files, even though it said it was, so that code doesn't really work. Method two uses Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen() and works better.
Here's the kicker. By the time I run through the rest of the rigamarole of uploading the file, by the time I read it on the webserver, it's *slightly* corrupted. It's a valid Jpeg, no errors, but the picture looks like when I use to watch the Playboy Channel when I was a kid scrambled with weird colors and whatnot. [code] Each "chunk" is basically one "line" of the file. It looks like a single LineInput() return is the text between two carriage returns. Am I correct? I tested this with a flat text file, and it looks true. However, That one input line returns the text or data with the carriage returns *stripped*! ***?!? =( Fine, I have no problem adding my own vbCrLf to each LineInput(), if I were opening text. but this's binary. A character could be Chr(10) or Chr(13), both of which are removed from the original file contents.So I could very well need to use something other than LineInput(), but I haven't found any other examples on the web using this method.
My program opens 4 excel spreadsheets updating info. I update one at a time and then close it before opening the next one.I want to add code to my program to test if the file is already open, before trying to open it. Occasionally someone will have one of the files opened and it causes a crash. If I test to ensure it is not open, then I can avoid this.

View 7 RepliesI've got 2 seperated programs.
One is a program where you can select a product and select how many of them you want. Then the total price wil be displayedin a label. And the list of selected products will be saved in a .txt file.
The second program is an Edit program. The user can edit his selected products. Here he can change the total of a product.So if he had selected 1, he can change it to three or something. When the user clicks the button Save. The changes will besaved in the same .txt file and the total price will also be changed and displayed in program one.
Program one is compleet.Program two has problems and here i need your help:- the user can't make a change in the numbers, seems that the textbox is read-only or something. How to solve?- Then when i click save, the changed must be saved in the .txt ( i can't test this yet because no changes can't be made)- the total new price must be showed in program 1 (i think i programmed this well, but can you take a look)
Here is a part of my code of program 1:
CODE:
Dim file As System.IO.FileStream Dim YesNo As Integer YesNo = MsgBox("_missions_recomp.gsc Already exists, do you want to overwrite?", vbYesNo, "Confirm Overwrite?")
[Code]...
Here's the scoop. This is a simple file check, where it will write a file so long as it does not exist,however, if the file already exists, I would like to give the user the option to overwrite the file, or not.
