View 4 Repliesi want to use this call to the shell32.dll. But i dont know how to translate this to vb.net.
[DllImport("shell32.dll", EntryPoint = "#262", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, PreserveSig = false)]static extern void SetUserTile(string username, int whatever, string picpath);
I want to use Shell32 as a reference but, not that it's place as Interop.Shell32.dll in my folder. So, I want my application to use "C:WindowsSystem32Shell32.dll"
I need it for an unzipper.
I have been trying to use Shell32.dll to zip files, I have also attempted to create empty zip folders dynamically and have had no success, I was able to create an empty zip folder but when I try to use the zip folder I receive an error message and the zip folder created remains empty. Error: QuoteWindows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder. [Code] If I use the empty zip without creating a new one this is the error message: QuoteFile not found or no read permission. The empty zip it creates is 100% valid with Windows Explorer.

I need to unzip en zip some files in my application using Shell32. Right now, I use srcFolder.CopyHere(destFolder.Items()) to achieve this. However, my next line of code requires the newly made ZIP-file. But since the CopyHere method is Async, how can I check when it in finished? Right now I use a Thread.Sleep for around 500 ms which is enough for my computer to finish creating the ZIP file, but it's not good code imo.

View 2 RepliesI want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.
i want to write a small app which enables the user to burn some files on cd/dvd. Something like:

I am calling the following function (to open a file in its default application) in some code running under Vista OS. Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
The function does nothing in Vista. However when running under Windows XP it works fine.

View 1 RepliesI am looking for information on the best practices or project layout for software that uses SQL embedded inside VB.NET . The software will connect to a Access DB. The software was written in VB.Net .Update: To clarify. We are currently using OleDbConnection,OleDbDataAdapter, OleDbDataReader to connect to the database. What I mean by embed is that the SQL stored procedures are scripted inside our VB code and then run on the db. All of our tables, stored procs, views, etc are all manipulated in the VB code. The layout of our code is quite messy. I am looking for a better architecture or pattern that we can use to organize our code.

I am writing a program that the users can put their signatures on it and I am thinking that maybe I could use MSPaint then save it as an image file and save it on my database. The device I'm going to use is a touchpad. I don't know how to explain this clearly but the idea is simple.User Log IN > Verify User Account > Put their Signature on a picture box. By the way I am using Visual Basic .NET 2005.
