Process.Start("C:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.5.16/bin/mysqldump.exe", "-uroot coop usertrails -r """ & FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath & "ackup.sql""")
how can i make the filename of the mysqldump use current time and date?
i know i can use now.date. how will i add it on my current code?
I am trying to make a filename something like this:
dim Test as string = "name_" + now.toshortdatestring() + ".pdf"
The datestring is like MM/DD/YYYY, which is a particularly bad filename (who want slashes in their file names??)Is there a way to format the date string differently (ie MM-DD-YYYY)?What I was trying to do is tag the file with a date so I could tell when the last time that file was generated, and also keep multiple copies around for archive purposes. Maybe there is a better way and then I dont even need this differently formatted string?
I have written some code that generates an output file from an external executable. I would like to insert the current date and time into the resulting filename. In the pi.Arguments line (shown below) the /l= creates the output file. I would like the name of the file to be Trustee_Restore_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.TXT.
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo

Everything works, except I would like to insert the date into the output filename.
Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)
[code].....
How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.

Title pretty much says it all. How do I format the date of a dateandtimepicker to insert it into the SQL date datatype?
View 20 Replieshow I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.
For example:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now
[code].....
I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the file name of the application at run time, in case it gets renamed.Also, as a easter-egg. First post, I don't know what code to put but this is how I am so far, the {FN} is where I need the file name.
If({FN} = "easter.exe") Then
msgbox("You found a easteregg! :O")

I often use things like the crosshatch in filenames to group them together. Until recently this has not been a problem.
I am working modifing a WPF app which uses a Listbox to store images. I need the full path of the image to feed to a class to retrieve metadata.
The test image is named "# Canon-ixus.jpg".
Using Listbox.SelectedValue to return the filename I get "%23 Canon-ixus.jpg". There are not a whole lot of options to returning the name of the selected item from the Listbox.
Is there any simple way to get the name back to its original form?

I have a directory with more then 350.000 files in. I need to process every single file and move them to an other folder. When I use the dir() method it takes a few seconds before if it returns the first file found.
dim foundfile as string = dir("d:")
In the documentation there is this:
"The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than the Dir function. See My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo Method for more information."
But I can't find any method that is faster then dir, and gives the same result. I can't use this method below because it takes for ever to load......
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:")
Next
It just does not work fast...
When I use the Dir() method it takes like 5 sec, and it uses 100% cpu... it is just not a option. How do I get the same function as the dir method but better performance? (I use visual basic 2008).

In the XP SaveFileDialog, the user is allowed to set the SaveFileDialog.FileName.
I'm using Vista operating system and am using the VistaBridgeLibrary.dll so that I can get the Vista version of the Dialog Boxes. With the CommonSaveFileDialog (for Vista dialog), I'm unable to set the FileName property since it's read only.
Is there a way to populate the FileName so that when the DialogBox displays the filename in use is displayed?
There is no editor available for '<filename>'.Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed.I got this message after I updated a VB08 project to VB10. I tried to open a form when this message was shown. It happens to every form in the group (but not standard classes).
