Creating A Web Application Which Is Going To Allow The User To Upload A Video File To The Server
Jun 7, 2010
I'm working on creating a web application which is going to allow the user to upload a video file to the server. Once the file is uploaded to the server, it's going to be converted to .flv and copied to another folder in the same directory. Since I'm doing this from a web app, I don't want to tie up the app with the conversion process. That is when I figured this might be a good time to try threading the conversion process... what do you think?
Currently, my process logic is this:
1) User presses the upload button.
2) A dummy record is created in the database for the file being uploaded.
3) Folders are created on the server to house the original video file and the converted video file.
4) The original is copied to the server.
5) Once the original is finished being copied, the app converts the original to .flv and saves it in another folder.
6) Information about the conversion process is stored in a .xml file
7) The dummy record is updated with real data
8) There is a redirect to a page that lets the user view the .flv file on the web

I want to create a page that allows a user to upload a file directly to my ftp server. For some reason when I run the code and try to upload a file I get:
ERROR: Could not find file 'C:Documents and SettingsuserMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsASP.NETuploadASP.NETuploadfile.txt This is not where the file is located. I am fairly new to .NET programming so I may have done some things incorrectly.
Here is my code:
If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
Dim fileExt As String
fileExt = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.FileName)
fileExt = fileExt.ToLower

I ran across some legacy code which creates a link to a file on the web server and offers the user a link to download the file.
Machine name:
MYSERVER
[URL]
Full url path to the directory containing the file to download: [URL]
Target file name:
downloadable.txt
The code does the following to create a link to 'downloadable.txt'
server.machinename.tostring & ".. argetdownloadable.txt"
Which results in:
"MYSERVER.. argetdownloadable.txt"
That link appears on the page as:
<a href="MYSERVER.. arget.downloadable.txt">download this file</a>
In IE 7, mousing over the link shows the full URL "[URL]" in the status bar. And it works fine for downloading the file in IE 7 (left or right-click). Firefox shows "[URL]" in the status bar and downloading the file isn't as straight forward. FF actually tries to change the file name to include the server name and target directory in the file name.
I've tried other methods like WebClient.DownloadFile() and had no success. This works, but I'm unfamiliar with the ".." and curious about how it works. I understand that ".." typically means go up one directory. My question was really more in the line of "how does that get interpreted in the browser to sort out the path?"

If IsPostBack Then
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/UploadedVideos/")

This is my first attempt at creating a Winforms application, and I have been developing in the .Net Framework (Silverlight, ASP.Net, WPF) for about 6 months. So, my appologies if this is a newbie question.
Basically what I am doing right now is taking the drawings of a stylus-based input, and storing them into an image field in a SQL Server database. Then, in another form, I go and get that image out of the database, and load it into a picture box. It works, but it is rather "sloppy" how it got there.When the user clicks save, it stores that image into a temporary folder, then converts it to a byte array and throws it into the database that way. Then, it deletes the file from the temporary folder. When retrieving it, it pulls it out of the database in a byte array, then converts it to an image in a temporary folder, thus displaying it on the form.
Is there a way that I can just bypass the storing of the file onto the user's harddrive both times, and go from byte array to picturebox?

I'm trying to upload a file via FTP from my local computer to an FTP server, which is also on my local computer at the moment. I've got this sub I'm calling:
Public Sub UploadFTPFile(ByVal ftpservername, ByVal fullfilepath, ByVal filename, ByVal username, ByVal password)Dim clsRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = _
DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("ftp://" & ftpservername & "/" & filename), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)
clsRequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)
clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile

I'm running an FTP Server using Golder FTP Server, which is freeware. I think it's setup correctly because connecting to the FTP Server using the exact same string as above using Windows Explorer works great.

I am wanting to create an application that will monitor the upload/download traffic of a user. Can someone point me too some code that I can have a look at?I have found SharpPcap - A Packet Capture Framework for .NET, but cannot find any vb.net code for it.
I have found this code:
Dim Properties As IPGlobalProperties
Dim StatV4 As IPGlobalStatistics
Properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties
StatV4 = Properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics
Dim Packets As Long = StatV4.ReceivedPackets
What actually is a 'packet'? Can I calculate the download/upload from this code by maybe multiplying the recievedPackets by packet size... or something like that?

I need to build an application where users can upload their file to the server from anywhere in the world.
I know one thing for sure..This application has to be a client side only. I can't build a server app to listen on a port and give permission. In fact, it's an apache server.

I have the following problem: I have a client who will upload an Excel file online. This Excel file will need to be imported to a database table, which I can do using the openrowset command. Once it has been imported, I can display the data using a GridView.
Now, I have referred [URL], but in both of them, the upload folder (destination) is hardcoded. How can I change this to reflect the file's destination to be on the server? And, once this is done, how can I then use openrowset to extract the contents of the Excel fie?
Additionally, how can I emulate the entire process on my machine before it is deployed?

I am using the code below to upload a file to a server running windows IIS 5.1.
I am just testing on my own computer to see if this works ok. However, I keep getting the following error message:
The remote server returned an error (405) Method Not Allowed I am sure this is a IIS problem maybe something to so with permissions. However, I am configure the virtual directory to allow read, write, and directory browsing.

I am wanting to use the TableAdapers and/or DataAdapters that are stored in an XSD file ("A DataSet for using data in your application") to
1) delete data from SQL Server
2) insert data from a dataset to SQL Server.
the XSD is to be stored as a file outside of the application so that the same code (this code i am having difficulty with) can be used to upload data from different excel files.
I created the XSD file in VS 2005 and "Configured" each table adapter to generate: Select statement, Update statement, Delete statement, table mapping, Fill method, Get method, and update method.
I am searching for some generic code that will execute the update statement and populate the database with the data in the data set.
How do i retrieve the TableAdapter and DataAdapter information from dsXSD (or the file dsLoadData.xsd)?
And then use the data, especially if relationships exist between tables defining a specific order for the tables to be loaded...
Do the SQL Statement need to be dynamically (at run time) written?[code]...

i have an app that allows a user to upload a file to a database. then, in the background, i want to move the file to a different folder.i am trying to use a background worker to do the file move but i always run into this error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.so i'm guessing it is still doing the file read/upload to the database (it works fine for really small files)how can i do the move once the upload is complete?i tried putting the actual upload piece in a background worker but it gives me an error saying the filename can't be null even though i check it and it isn't null.

I am pretty new at VB but am trying to design an application that will allow a user to select from files on his or her PC, hit a '>>' button, and those files will appear in a list on the right side of the button (so I can then have the application upload those files via ftp). I am planning to use a TreeView control to act as a file explorer in the application. I have been unable to find any resources on the internet to populate the tree view with the user's local file structure, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
