Creating Document Management Structure Using Hidden Shares
Jun 9, 2010
I need to add some document management functionality into my software. Documents will be grouped by company name and project name. The folders need to be accessed by the application using the id numbers of clients/projects, but also easily browsed by the end user using windows explorer. Clients and Projects will be stored in a database. I am thinking of having the software create the folders using the friendly name and then using a hidden share with the id number for the software to access the files. [Code]
By using the hidden share, if the company name changes or its renamed for some reason it doesn't break the link in the application because its using the hidden shared based on the ID that never changes. Will having hundreds (maybe thousands) or hidden shares on a server provide a huge performance hit? Does any one have any suggestions or alternatives to provide this feature?
I am looking for an open source .net DMS. I know in the post below there are some c++ but am not familiar with it so that would be much help.I found this post but is was asked back in 2009 so there might have been some progress or additions to this? Open Source Document Management System in .net? The reason for open source is that I would like to be able to integrate it into something else later on. I would also need it to be a desktop based system and not web based.
I am trying to manipulate files as part of a Document Management application that stores documents in a location on a Network Drives. But the My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives collection does not contain the Network Drives mapped on my machine. I have about half-a-dozen of these, but none of them seem to show up in the Drives collection and thus are not visible to the other FileSystem functionality I need to use for file management.
how to make sure the Drives collection contains all my drives? I am running VS2010 Premium edition on Windows 7 64-bit on a 64-bit Dell machine.
How can I structure my classes so that the user interfaces though a single class while the supporting classes are hidden from their view? I think its best understood in an example:
Public Class MyInterface Public Economic as EconomicClass Public Sub New() MyBase.New()
[code].....
So you might ask why am I even separating them? It's strictly for others who will be working with this interface. I need to funnel them though a logical structure:
This way everything is already handled for them in the background and they only need to run the method they need. I don't know if I can have it both ways in VB.NET.
I am an absolute newbie in both oracle and visual basic. I have covered some basics as tutorials and want to develop a database using Visual basic as front end and Oracle as back end. I have Visual Studio 2008 installed and I will use Visual Basic from that. I also have Oracle 10g express edition installed on my system.
FI am working on a program that will help clients map a network drive by listing all available/visible network shares and allowing the user to select a share to map to. I have already created a basic VB script that will map a drive using a specified location. I have searched and read everything i could find and it looks like this can only be done by calling an API function but am unsure how to do this. [code]
The application I support is creating an amalgamted Word document by copying couple of Word documents in one document right after each other. The problem is the format of the some of the fields of the document that gets appended is changed in amalgamated document while the amalgamated document is the copy of AppendDocument (imagine if we have one document to copy in the amalgamated document)
I'm trying to create a structure wherin I have got 1 mother thread and 2 child threads. The child threads get variables to work with from their mother thread and after completion they report back to the mother with the resulting variables. I'd like to be as efficient as possible so creating a new thread every time a thread has finished it's work is kind of a no-go. How can I create this structure without creating a new thread for every iteration?
Is there any performance hit (or other problem) to creating a lot of class and structure types for a project? I'm not talking about the number of objects existing in-memory during runtime; rather just defining a lot of object types during design time. I find myself making a lot of small classes and structures that are little more than simply packaging a few related variables together.
I have to create an array of structure type in VB.net. but I am getting error while marshaling this error. I have to pass this array of structure type in to Dll function. Code: Structure declaration: <StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet:=CharSet.Ansi)> _ Public Structure dx_entry <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst:=10)> _ Public dx As String [Code] .....
I am getting the following error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Audit_Demo_2307.exe Additional information: Type dx_entry[] can not be marshaled as an unmanaged structure; no meaningful size or offset can be computed.
how to write the code for my project.I am to base my new project on an existing one(existing one has code that works 100%)and create an Array of a structure that bascially holds the information from a summary form AND the totals from an AddToOrder_Click event. If you are still with me)... I cant figure out what the code is for my structure and Array so that I STILL have a Summary Form but I have an array that shows when I click my PrintPreview. So an Array is basically a "space" that holds information, like my summary form except it doesnt show until I click PrintPreview right?
If I just wanted to show the table then my code belongs in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage to show the array but the actual structure code belongs in the Click_Event of my AddToOrder? Please Please understand I AM NOT asking for anyone to write my code, basically I am asking for some clarification on what exactly creating an array from a structure is and therefore determing where the structure is to be placed in my code..
I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
I want to store my log files in the user's Application Data folder (to avoid all the hassle with Windows 7/Vista UAC permissions). By default, though, the app creates the folder structure like thisAppData/CompanyName/AssemblyName/AssemblyVersion/I just want a single folder without the AssemblyName and AssemblyVersion. Other than removing that info from the project, is there any other to just create a single
I want to make 5 attachment options in that 4 out of the 5 are hidden.but when he clicks "more attachment" link it will show the other 4.Im using ASP.NET with VB?
i am trying to create a vb application which creates pdf documents by taking xmls as input.I want to get the table of contents for the pdf being created in the following format
heading1 ----------------page number heading2---------------page number heading3-----------------page number
using the chapters and section functions of itextsharp , all i can get is

I'm trying to do in a web application, that is outside the selected text (ctrl+A) a website, copy the selected text and the result was paste into a word document.
I'm working with a class that inherits the XElement class.The new class is called MXElement.It adds some new functionality to it for navigating through the XML tree, as well as some more information regarding attributes, but that's not particularly important.My problem is that I have an XML Tree filled with XElement objects.However, when I create a new MXElement object from the XElement object before, it is just a copy of that object. This means that any changes that I make to this object will not effect the original tree.I suppose what I'm asking for is a way to build in the functionality for my MXElement class and keep references to the original XElement objects.If possible, I would really prefer to keep MXElement a child class instead of building a lot of extension methods for XElement.
I have scoured Google to find some examples - but they are either completely cryptic (I'm not afraid of Windows APIs either) or don't seem to work. I want to build a list of available shares from my network. I will filter them before I present them to the user. It might work if there was a simple way to get the network folder so I could enumerate them like regular folders...
Module Module1 Public Structure structure1 Public TRANS() As structure2 End Structure Public Structure structure2 Public X() As Integer End Structure End Module
I'm new to VB 2008 after having spent a long time with VB6, so I apologize if this is a stupid question. But I'd really like to have this straightened out.
Let's say I have a pretty large structure that has lots of properties.
Code:
Now say that I want an internal database with about 10 instances of this structure total, describing, say, 10 different products that a store sells. When these values are loaded from a database, they remain totally static. (However, they can be different each time a program loads)
Now say that I have a class. Each instance of this class is a type of that BaseProduct structure. Meaning, each instance of the class pertains to one of the 10 types of products that the store sells. However, this class has additional properties that pertain specifically to each instance, which are not static.
Code:
Now, the problem here is... If I have 200 different transactions, each one contains an instance of BaseProduct. BaseProduct is HUGE, and is largely redundant (only 10 types possible), so I think it's a little silly to include a whole copy of it with EVERY transaction. However, the Transaction class really needs information regarding the base product it pertains to. Is there a way to, instead of declaring a New BaseProduct in the Transaction class, to simply make one of the properties of the Transaction class a pointer to a BaseProduct variable?
In VB6, I would accomplish this by making a BaseProduct(10) array, and then giving each Transaction an ID number referring to an entry in that array. But in VB 2008, using class structure, this is impossible. I can't define the BaseProduct(10) array outside of a class in a namespace, and if I define it in the actual application's form, then the class loses modularity since it relies on the application that's using it.
I am trying to communicate with an external device and i am trying to send a byte array to the external device via sockets but i am always getting a response the message size is too small so i am not sure what i have done wrong. Between the data type there should be no alignment present and all numbers are represented in little endian format. The char array is not null terminated as mentioned in the protocol specifications.
I have to send data based on a struct that embeds 2 other struct. So here's my vb.net code for the struct used to convert to byte array and the sending part.
Public Structure MESSAGETYPE_OIP_Login Dim Header() As COMMANDHEADER Dim UserName() As PSTRING
I'm having a problem that's driving me crazy; I can't understand how to convert the XML structure into a class structure (that I want to use to hydrate a XML document).
The XML document looks like this:
xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <artists xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.spotify.com/ns/music/1">
i am using VB. net 2008. I am having a hard time using this code: ("L:SWPPPSWPPPBookMerge.doc") what is the shortest method that the system will search for the document without placing the document address.
