Develop An App That Will Export A Large Amount Of Zip Files All Of Which Have The Same Single File In Them?
Nov 21, 2009
I am trying to develop an app that will export a large amount of zip files all of which have the same single file in them - simply named 'dw' (with no extension). They will all be in the same directory. I want the file 'dw' to be renamed to the zip file name + .tif. (I will actually eventually need for this to use the magic number to determine if the file is a .tif or a .rtf.) I have been able to get it to cycle through, if the file is NOT renamed. I seem to run into issues when I want the file renamed. It just creates the first .tif file and thats it. I think its actually just cycling through but everything is getting that same name. For the record i am not a programmer by trade, just trying to help with something at work - thus I know the code I have peiced together probably isn't 'by the book'
Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo(ByVal unzipit As String, ByVal zipdir As String, ByVal arg As String, ByVal arg2 As String)
Dim di As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
di = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(zipdir)
For Each diar In di.GetFiles()

I am wanting to create a large amount of files all copied from a single original file. I then have a list of names in a listbox that each of of these files will rename to. However I am getting an error saying that the file already exists in the save location even though the files are saving to a totally different folder...
code below.
Dim Counter As Integer = listFileNames.Items.Count
Do Until Counter = 0
System.IO.File.Move(txtOpen.Text, txtSave.Text)

Just a doubt: if I have large amount of image files for my app, is it ok to store them in the resource file ?
Will those files be saved in a single resource file ? Will that cause any problem to the performance of my app ? When I try to access a image file from the resource using code, will it load that file only into the memory or the entire image contents from the resource file ?

I wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

I'm searching the same title "Large amount of data in ComboBox" last 1 and half years but I could not get what I'm expecting! Here is my case, I have 20 thousand unique products, I just fill into dataset & bind only two columns in the combobox for searching & validating the product if it is exist in the product list or not.
1) I read about dataset but all articles are described "Dataset only for few records because it is sitting in-memory". If I fill few records (100 or 1000 products) into the dataset, how can I search & validate REMAINING (NOT FILLED) products?
2) Is there anyother way without filling into dataset and bind to combobox? Can anyone suggest me which is suitable for me?

I'm loading an image, then getting size and such info from it, and loading the image into a picture box. Now it works and all, but I noticed it uses a large amount of memory. I'm doing: img = Image.FromFile(file)Where I load the image, 'file' being just a string containing path to an image on the hd. After that, I get the size and frame count (if any), and load it into a picture box: The image I've been testing with, is a 6600x5100 3.5MB JPEG, which can be downloaded from url...Watching task manager, when the app loads the image, it takes up about 104MB of memory. I've tried doing img.Dispose after the above line, but it brings up an error. If I put a button on the form with img.Dispose in it, and click it after app has loaded, it drops down to about 6MB of memory used. Loading the image directly into the picture box using .Load or .LoadAsync, after disposing img beforehand, still ends up with a huge amount of memory used.
So I'm wondering if theres a way to check if the picture box has fully loaded the img, so then I can Dispose the img and free up the memory. Or maybe a better way all together of loading an image into a picture box, and/or getting size & frame count, without having to use up that amount of memory before freeing.

I tried to follow this advice, but I still run out of memory.
[URL]
Basically, I am reading all the bytes of a 1 gb disk and I want to try and do a md5 hash on it. However, when following this example, my cryptostream gets too large a System out of memory exception.
Is there another way to do the md5 hash over some much data?
I am currently reading it into 10 million bytes arrays at a time. Can I hash the first array, and then use it as a seed for the next array, and so one, like you might do to a CRC32 calculation?

I am making an inventory program in which there's an ItemMaster and Sales Form. Currently there are 15000 records of items(increasing daily). I want to display all the items in the sales form so that the user can select an item from the list for billing, and also in the itemmaster so that if the user wants to edit any item then he can select it from the list.
I can make a common list form for both sales and master, but i have to load the data from the database into the list every time the list is displayed(which is taking lot of time), so is there an better way to do it.

[Code] each file is about 30 kilobytes in size, and they contain raw hardware statistical information in a comma-deliminted format. I want to do the following with these files as my end-result.
NEWFILE.CVS contains the contents in this format:
metric_group_001 metric_group_002 metric_group_003 metric_group_004 etc.
I don't want APPEND, I want to concatenate the contents of these files into one large master file. I am able to do this MANUALLY, but I need to have a DYNAMIC method of doing this because of the number of files will change depending on the test we are doing with the hardware. This is the code I am using to do this process manually and it does work, but I need a DYNAMIC method in place. [Code]

I am using zipforge.net to archive files in a small backup program I am creating. Everything works fine however if I try to archive a large number of files the process of zipping them gets slower the further along in the job it gets.
Example: I have a directory that contains a little over 100,000 files in it. Each file is only about 200k of text. When I use the zipforge zip class it starts zip'ing very quickly but as it gets about 40% of the way through the directory it starts to slow down... at about 60% its working at a snails pace.
Memory usage for my solution also goes up proportionate to the archive file size as it grows. Currently it takes around 26hours to backup this directory which only contains 4 gigs worth of information.
If I use a program like winzip I can zip the folder in less than an hour. I am thinking there has to be a way to write to the end of the zip file without having to open it every time or without keeping it open. My backup software scans the specified folder and writes each file path and name into a text file. Then it reads the text file line by line and passes the path + file info to the zipforge addfile().

There is a very strange problem with a Windows Service I am working on that I would like to understand why it occurs. The service loops every 5 minutes and then within that loop it loops through keys containing webservice URLs that are numbered such as:
<add key="URL.1" value="http://dummy1.com/Service.asmx"/>
<add key="URL.2" value="http://dummy2.com/Service.asmx"/>
<add key="URL.3" value="http://dummy3.com/Service.asmx"/>
The code that does this check is:
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(AppSettings("OM." & intCount & ".Name").ToString) Then
When it hits a key that doesn't exist an exception is thrown and the service stops and waits for 5 minutes until the next loop.This usually works great but every week or two the Windows service will crash on that line without any Exception. The application log has a line from before that line but nothing after, none of the Try Catches are hit (the main one is catching the base "Exception" class).In the Event Log for Windows is the following:
Faulting application name: MyService.exe, version: 1.1.2.0, time stamp: 0x4fa22a24
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651, time stamp: 0x4e211319
Exception code: 0xe053534f
[code]....
The weird part is that this line of code is executing fine 300 times a day for at least a week which is around 2000 times before that one time it causes a full crash of the application. why this is occurring? I have changed that line of code to not rely on Exceptions and it has been working fine for a week now with no crash so could be something to do with too many Exceptions - maybe causing a stack overflow?

I wrote a cleanup program to go through some directories and delete files based on if the creation date is older than say 6 months. It works fine with some of the directories I have that contain around a few thousand small files. However, there is one directory (that contains small backup files from another program) that is loaded with over 300,000 files and it locks up on me as soon as I read in the first file in that directory.I am convinced it is the directory has too many files in it to open it. The server that the directory is on is slow. It takes a half hour to open the directory while on the server itself. I know it will take forever to delete the amount of files I want to delete, but I don't understand why it gets stuck and hangs there with no error message.Here is where I get stuck. Listbox1 is the directory I'm attempting to access

I have a vb.net Windows application that calls a vb.net Web Service function. Both the vb.net application and Web Service have been in use for over 5 years and have worked well. The Windows App builds a text file consisting of a number of inserts into an Oracle table, followed by a call to an Oracle package. The Web Service call uploads the text file to the Web Server, loops through the statements in the text files and executes them. It then does a Select statement to put the resultant data in a string which is passed back to the calling program. We have both people on our local area network as well as external users where the call to the Web Server is over the internet.
The data string returned is the pricing for each of the lines inserted in the text file, separated by asterisks. Normal use of this call has anywhere from 1 to a few dozen lines, and the program works fine for this for both internal and external users.
Our problem right now is one external person is attempting to price a job with 491 individual line items. At first it would not price, whether the job was priced from a computer at the customers site or one of our internal people on the LAN. The problem turned out to be the timeout value was not long enough (it was set at 2 minutes, this job takes 5 minutes) so changing both the Timeout value in the Web Service call as well the httpRuntime executionTimeout value in the web.config file on the web server addressed the problem, but only for our internal users on the LAN. Our external customer wants to be able to price jobs of this size going forward, and I am at a loss as to why it errors on internet connected machines but not locally connected machines. Our customer is in New York, We are in Wisconsin, and I am able to recreate the error condition from my home computer.
The other thing is, if I create a VPN connection to our server from my computer at home, this job will price (again, it takes about 5 minutes) but if I disconnect the VPN connection, it gets an error after approximately 3 minutes, http 404: Not Found.The customer can otherwise price all of his other jobs with no problems, it's only this one, very large job that gets the error.

I would like to upload files using the ASP FileUpload control. However, if I try and increase the limit to about 10000 kB, it doesn't work and accepts files only upto 4 MB in size and I get an error saying that the connection to the server was reset. I referred: [URL]..but when I modified the web.config.comments file, nothing happened. Where am I going wrong?
Also, I wanted to know how this would work when I deploy it on the web server. I'm asking because in the code behind, I'm still giving a hard coded value for the path where the file is to be uploaded. How does this work?

I'm using "My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(...)" to copy large directories (30-50gb) from one mapped share folder to another. Using "FileInfo.length" to add up all file and subfolder sizes, determines the 'origin directory' size just fine.

I've made a rudimentary program that combines multiple files into one single file. Currently if I combine two .csv files together the output comes out correctly for what I need, which is a coma delimited file. When I try to combine two .csv files into a .xls file it doesn't format correctly (I get all the data separated by commas, but thrown into one column in the .xls file). For this reason I believe I need to add a delimiter.I'll post my code below.
