Copy A Resource To A Directory On Harddrive?
Sep 7, 2009
i have several files that are resources in my program and i would like to be able to copy them to the users hard drive for later use for the user. I have tried everything that i can think of, i just can seem to find one that works, the code below is the closest i have gotten, but i get an error on the first part about My.resources.iPad just to let you know, ipad is an exe file.
FileCopy(
My.Resources.iPad, InstallDir.Text)
The error i get says: Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'.

I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?

I have created a resource directory loaded with 10 mp3 files in it and added it to the resources tab. The problem I am having is when the program is compiled and installed, it does not add the resource directory to the hard drive. I know that resources can be added into the applications files in the publish tab but cannot seem to figure out how to get it listed or added in there.I also took each mp3 and set the build action to Embedded Resource... That didnt help much though.The resource directory i want to include in the deployement is in my bin/debug/resources in the solution explorer.

MSDN Forums, My name is Ted and I need help with my application.So, basically it has a Textbox and two buttons. In which I created one button to FileBrowseDialog, and the other to place the resouce to the directory selected in the TextBox by the FileBrowseDialog.
Example-Not In Code: If TextBox has "C:UserDesktop" Selected (From The Browse Button), Then Press "Button Two" and moves (Resource) file to the directory and replaces the original. This Resource can be any file, for Example "D3DX9_43.dll"
In-Use:User clicks "Browse. . ." Button and browses for a directory to place the file, So for Example: "C:Program Files (x86)My App And then clicks "Place" Button and overwires the original file, Example: "myapp.dll"

I have ashort (1.3MB) video clip set up with the Build Actiontent, and Copy to Output Directory as Copy Always.I am displaying the clip using mciSendString calls, which is working fine.However, I have been asked to change the delivery method so that the video file needs the Build Action to be set to EmbeddedResource and Copy to Output Directory as Do Not Copy , so I need to find a way to write the file to disc on demand so I can play it, then delete it when the form closes.

I'm creating a WPF application in VB.NET with the 3.5 Framework. (If you provide an example in C#, that's perfectly fine.)
In my project I have a Template for an MS Access database. My desired behavior is that when the users clicks File-->New, they can create a new copy of this template, give it a filename, and save it to their local directory.
The database already has the tables and some starting data needed to interface with my application (a user-friendly data editor)
I'm thinking the approach is to include this "template.accdb" file as a resource in the project, and write it to a file somehow at runtime?

Referencing this question/code:
How do I copy a folder and all subfolders and files in .NET?
I'm trying to copy a buntch of sub directories to a different directory. I'm wanting to update this code:
Dim fso As System.Object = New System.Object
fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
fso.copyfolder(sour, dest)
[Code].....
Is there a easier way of doing this with less lines of code like the fso As System.Object version? Also, I have System.IO imported however File.Copy and Directory.GetFiles are not colored blue, could this be the issue? I have the System loaded as a reference.

I want to get letters to each harddrive I have recognized in WMI . I give an example:I have:
1x HDD (400 GB) Samsung (fixed) - 4 partitions (one of them is for Linux, the biggest problem!)
1x HDD (250 GB) Seagate (external) - 1 partition
And in Windows I can see 4 harddrives. So the thing: How can I get exact letters belonging to Samsung, and letter(s) belonging to Seagate? Make sure, that user can have more drives and more partition (maybe Linux too) ... I can divide my Seagate too, like 20 GB and 230 GB ... you know. I've checked much things in WMI like Win32_DiskPartition, but it does not help me so much ...

I've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.
