This save file dialogue works fine except when they click save, the dialogue opens and then they close the dialogue. when they close it, my program crashes, every time. i'm using this to save it
Dim sfd As New SaveFileDialog
With sfd
.Filter = "Text Documents (*.txt)|*.txt|PHP (*php.*)|*php.*"

I have a fairly straight forward peice of code that just tries to set the default saved directory for a standard .net save dialogue to a specific folder. If that folder doesn't exist, it sets it to the desktop. This works fine for everyone but one user who is getting the following error: Could not find special directory 'Desktop' How is that even possible?

I'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.

I am attempting to write a playlist for my media player which is already built. I have found a way to build a playlist for it but it would be helpful if I could save the contents of TextBox1 to a text file without using the save as. I am trying to get over a user inputting a file name for the finished text file so is it possible to write the file c: est.txt without using the save as dialog? I have found that I can use a vbs program file which creates a playlist in a folder. I save the vbs file text to the textbox then save it as a vbs file in the playlist directory, then execute the finished file to make the playlist.

I have researched the net, youtube, and the msdn DB, and still can not find the working answer I am looking for. I would like someone to show me how you would save the contents of "Listbox1" to a .txt file using the "Save As" Option. I know how to hardcode a savepoint in, but since there will be multiple users I would like the option to be up to the end-user.

My web and sql db are on two different servers. I'm developing a component in my vb.net web app which uses sql dbmail to send mail. That part is already working but part of the requirement is to allow the users to add an attachment to their email. SQL dbmail requires an absolute path for the email attachment for example, in sql:Declare @Attachments nvarchar(max)
Select @Attachments = 'D:emp ewreport.pdf'So currently in my vb code I have the following:

how to create a save to text file method with a try catch in the method in a class and then call this save method from a button on a window form. I am currently doing the save method under the button directly but to tell you the truth i would prefer to just do it one time and call it from different locations in the various forms i have, then copying it all the time.

Is there anyway to save a thumbnail of an image, then save it so that, when viewed through My Computer, the thumbnail is displayed for the file. Basically, what I mean is to do something similar to the way you can see a preview of a pdf file, or Microsoft Word file, or Microsoft Expression Design file. I want to be able to open the file's containing folder, then switch to thumbnail view, and the thumbnail will be displayed as the image for the file.

I'm new to Visual Basic with no programming in my background. I've created a application without to many problems until now. I've looked around msdn but could not find any tutorial on how to create a "standard" save file dialog box. What I have found is some instruction with a lot of assumptions made such as I've done this before.

Ok so with my program i'm trying to create a save configuration I have it in my context menu so that I can click save configuration and what i want it to do is check to see what check boxes are checked and save those to a file (i.e. a notepad file or whatever works) that way I can save categories for customers or my own computer or whatever and than i'll just click load and choose the category I want and it will load the checkboxes that I want to install. I found a similar post but it's not really making sense to me. So i'm wondering what I need to do to make this work.
I'm also wondering how i'm going to load the configuration but I might have to wait on that one step at a time.

My question is simple (the answer may not be...), What I am looking for is a way to save a file as an encrypted file (so know one can open it except in visual basic or a way to save it with a unique ending that only visual basic will recognize. I will also need to know of a way to open or load the file to.
This is going to be used in a game I am working on (and yes...I know visual basic isn't really meant for games, but it is coming together pretty well). I was originally going to have it save as a text file, but then everyone could open, read it and even change there stats. That is what this file will contain, the stats for their character, and when they load it, it will place the values into the correct spot.
I am a partial beginner or intermediate coder, I can understand code, I just don't know all there is, like saving and loading, and this is probably a little harder.

I have a website written in .net 4. I'd like to include a save button on one the pages that will save the webpage as a mht file. This way the user can save the page as a mht file type on his/her desktop without have to use the browser toolbar.
I'm currently working with the following code but I need to modify it so it to capture the url of the current page the user is viewing verses hard coding the url into the button click event.
