IDE :: How To Make Backup Files
Jul 17, 2008(VS.Net 2005/VB.Net)Why is it that VS.Net does not create LOCAL backup files of edits? Is there a way to make it do that?I accidentally overwrote a day's worth of changes by attempting to do a manual mergeoutside of VS.Net.Is there a way to make VS.Net create backup files of your changes each time you save?Delphi does it using an extension of .~pa for your source files and .~fm for your form files.This way, if your system crashes, which VS.Net is certainly going to do, you wouldn't lose the changes you made since your last save point.I know, I know, I shouldn't have been doing the merge outside of VS.Net but I had my reasons and now I[m paying the price.I just wished VS.Net was a little better IDE than it is because, frankly it sux. I am forever waitingfor something and not very productive using it. Hey, I'm getting good at watching paint dry because that is what developing in this tool seems like.

"Backup Files" In VB 2008 EE - Application Suddenly Became Impossible To Access
Feb 27, 2009A routinely used application suddenly became impossible to access, with and error code indicating that the "VB Backup\Backup" file cannot be found. When I click File Open, the projects display as always. I select the application, double click the .sln file--and nothing happens. When I try to access the .vb file in Solution Explorer, it says "Cannot find VB Backup\Backup Files."
What are the Backup Files, when are they created, and why would they suddenly be "gone?" Is there any way to rebuild the Backup Files? I used the application last night and it worked fine. Today it can't be opened because the Backup Files cannot be found.
I have backups of the application folders, but get the same error message. Cannot be opened because the Backup FIles cannot be found.

View 6 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: File Stream - Backup Program That Zips Files ?
Feb 9, 2009I am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!

Disable Drag&Drop Of Files In Richtextbox In .NET?

Can A Full File Manager Be Built To Drag And Drop Files
Feb 17, 2011I am working on a vb forms application in VS2008.What I am looking to do is have 3 file managers on the form.The top is the source where files can be copied to the 2 other file managers.What I have been looking for is an example of the file explorer so I can modify it.So far I have been unsuccessful in finding a good example so I am here to ask the experts.So the gist is the first file explorer will allow a user to connect to thier local hard drive.The other two file explorers would allow the user to connect to two different servers through entering the path they want to view those file trees.After that the user could click on the file they want to copy and then hit a button for example and the file would be copied from the local to the two other areas.Would it be easier to just use text boxes with a confirmation that the files are being copied?Or can a full file manager be built to drag and drop files?
