t= 2 comes from Subtracting t= 11 - t= 9 from the script in example 1. I have scripts with thousands of lines every time the program should automatically subtract the next value with the previous one and write the result into a new file starting from t= 0

View 4 RepliesI am using the following code to write and empty (dummy) file to take up the remaining space on a device.RemSpace is a Public Variable declared as Long I have a function that gets the remaining space on the device and stores in the RemSpace variable (in bytes). I have tested with a msgbox to display the result of RemSpace, and it comes back correct (not 0). However, when the following code attempts to create the dummy file, the file is properly created but is only 0 bytes. What am I missing here?

I have been thinking about creating an event calendar. I thought through the idea of how i would attempt it, but only came up with one idea; Text files, a folder for each year, and a folder for each month.. when the user creates a new event a text file gets created in: e.g. \2010\Jan\12.txt and if another event is on that same day, the text is added into the same text file. But this leaves lost hopes for my other ideas, since it will get very complicated. Like yearly events, monthly events etc.

Basically I am saving text to 2 seperate ini files, also saving the checkbox.checked value so my form can skip the login and auto start. My only problem is when a user saves the information to the INI files after writing them they automatically open up the INI files for display. When the form loads it automatically fills in the fields and if the checkbox is active it checks all the correct details then starts, only problem is it loads the checkbox1.checked ini file then starts the main menu. How can I skip this? and make it not show the ini files everytime they are called upon?

I have a few questions. first, how do i make it so that when you open your program you can not open ctrl+alt+del = task manager? second how do i make it so that a button opens a .bat file? third Is it possible to a button open multiple Internet Explorer Windows? When i try to do this it only opens a bunch of tabs? and lastly how do I make it so that when it installs on a computer it installs straight to the start-up folder without the user knowing it, or how do you make it so it opens automatically on start-up?

View 3 RepliesHere's what I'm attempting: The user browses for and opens a dbf file. The user is presented with a checkedlistbox which shows the column headers. The user then selects the columns they wish to run a report on. ex. total # of cells not empty, longest cell length, etc.
I'm to the point of populating the checkedlistbox with all of the columns shown but I'm unsure if the users selections are actually linked to my data and if they are how I go about isolating said selections for the reports. I have a feeling that my approach to populating the checkedlistbox is not the proper way for what I'm trying to accomplish.

I want to have an icon / image of a folder on my form and I want it to operate just the same as a desktop shortcut to a directory does.

View 8 RepliesSo I open files and do whatever with them right. I've set the initial directory to equal the last directory, but whenever I open multiple files, it never sets the directories properly. It acts as though nothing was opened there, so it takes the previous directory as the last one. Thoughts on what's not working? Here's the code.
Code:
With FileOpenDialog1
.InitialDirectory = LastDirectory
If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

I have multiselect enabled earlier and everything else works but this. When you open a single file, the last directory works fine. It only happens with multiselect.On another note, does anyone know why it freezes when I try to do a lot of files and use another program? I opened 700+ files to see what would happen. When I switched to a IM convo, it froze. When I left it to run, it worked.
copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.Example:
Source path: C: emp est1.txt
destination path: C:Data
if C:Data doesn't contains "temp" or "test" folder, it should create the folder before copy the 1.txt.[code]....
I'll tell you what I'd like to do which is to create a directory listing of every file inside a specified directory and then use a loop to upload each file in this directory to a remote folder via FTP.

I've had a search through a number of extremely useful articles on the forums, however rather than reinvent the wheel I thought I would ask if anyone already had what I am looking for..A simply little VB app that opens a session to a specific IP port and then writes to a test file everything it receives. If the connection drops, simply re-stablish it and keep listening for text to write to the file.
View 1 RepliesI have a single instance app that is working fine except for this strange (to me) issue.
The user could double click on FileA and my app opens and displays the file contents (the path of FileA has been passed as a parameter) No problem there. The problem is that if the user then double clicks on FileB and I read the parameter it still contains the path to FileA. What trick am i missing here?
(If i add a debug line that forces the code to be FileB's path the the app works correctly in terms of opening a new tab, reading the contents etc.) (vb.net 2010)
