How can I determine whether the person using my app has permission to create and write to a file in a given directory? I would prefer to not use some sort of try/catch.

I use a custom tool to translate a flat text to xml text. I then create the file, with over-write set to True. When I try to write the text to the file, I get the error. The error says "Error: Invalid procedure call or argument", "System: Access is denied." It seems like the Create command is holding the file locked, so the Write command fails.
Running in VbsEdit IDE, I can see it fail. If I copy the text which is trying to be written, and paste it into UltraEdit, then attempt to save the file there, I get the same error This is expected, because the VBScript execution is holding the file locked. It should NOT be holding it locked for the script itself, right?[code]...
I wanted to create a login system that would have 3 tabs 1 for regular login, 1 for admin login and 1 for account creation. So far so good. It saves the accounts by saving them in a .urs file in the map called /Users/. However when this map does not exist it will show a error. I would want to know what code or so to put into the form_load which will make my program create the map /Users/ if it does not exist. As im not familiar with all the codes and stuff. The only thing i can come up with is
Mkdir "/Users/"
but then ofcourse it would create the folder users everytime i start the program. not i was still "Hello Worlding" a few days ago, so i really am unfamiliar with any sort of high-skilled programming which i probably dont understand.
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("folder location here", FileIO.DeleteDirectoryOption.DeleteAllContents)
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
I'm doing some directory work and in this directory, some of the subdirectories are symbolic links to a different location. I need to be able to determine which directly is a symlink and process them differently.
View 1 RepliesI am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.
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.

My program has to write to several files according the users settings, options, and other purposes. But when i tested this, it gave me an error, access is denied. I do not want the user to make it run as an admin nor do i want to find another way to do this, because the only other way is the temp dir and when user deleted files from there it could mess it all up.

View 19 RepliesHere's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?
how it might be possible to only request the FileIO permission for the data directory created by clickonce? I want to run my clickonce exe from the web, but I only want to request the IO permission for the data directory where I am storing some user files.

View 4 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is write a small program that copies a file from a USB to another directory so a program already installed on the computer can load this data.Usually copying files from one directory into another wouldn't be an issue.

If possible i would also like to change the code i have written so it just loads January2009.txt from the "root directory" of the USB rather than having to specify H: because if i put the USB in someone elses computer this could change to G: and then it wouldn't work.
My program has a textbox and a listview. In the list view i have added three person's name, John, Kat, Adel.
How do I make it such that when John's name is selected in list view, John's age is automatically displayed in the text box?
And when Kat's name is selected in list view, Kat's age is automatically displayed in the text box?
I am using impersonate user to copy files form one location to other.

First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.
