I am trying to update my database. A user is going to enter in the location of a file. ex C:file.txt
This is the code I am using Sql = "UPDATE `Users` SET `FolderLocation`='" & FolderLocation & "' WHERE `Username`=" & TextBox2.Text & ";" My problem is that it does not like the . How can I fix that? Is this my code or a database set up error?
I currently have a program that allows users to download files into a folder of there choice. I currently have 10 different forms all with a text box to show folder location and a browse button for user to find it, but what I want to do is create a form that will appear at the start where the end user can enter the folder location so that they don't have to enter the folder path for every download they want to do. How would I go about doing this I have a textbox, browse button and an OK button but have no idea what to do next.
View 1 RepliesIn my setup and deployment project, I have made all the directories I needed. The problem I have is: With the registry keys, how do I enter the value field with a wildcard for the location to the new installation. People don't always use the default location, so I need my key to dynamically set the registry to the correct place. So what do I do? [ProgramLocation] or something?
View 3 RepliesI am new to using visual basic 2005. I have a tutorial book and I have followed it but it does not help me understand. I have a limited understanding of the net framework and the drag and drop features.
What I want to know is this: How do I make a simple name and address tracker file that I can enter data and save it as a file. The book does not cover this proceedure but It is what I want to do.
IE: Start VB2005 start new windows app. Name (whatever) drag 2 label's and 2 textbox's and one button for saving data entry. I want this program to enter name in textbox1 (press enter) then enter address in textbox2 (press enter) then save file (whatever name) when you click the button.
on my program i have an activation in it and in order to activate the program you need to enter a code that is stored in the settings. so i was looking through my computer and i found the programs config file. and so I opened it and i found all of the codes for the activation. I need to find out how to make the file so the user doesn't have access to it and then how to move it to a more hidden place in the C: drive.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
What did I do wrong below? When I pass the enter key but for somehow the enter key event doesn't get triggered.

I need to get the extension part of a file path for example,

i need to return the ".jpg" to a string. Im sure this is easy enough, im guessing i need to get all the text after the last .

View 1 RepliesProgram conversion VB6 to VB2008 I have software which uses an ini file (this is necessary as sometimes the ini file needs editing). Normally you place the ini file with the exe.
How do I refer to the ini files location in VB2008 The readini has lines similar to this at the moment where I have set up the test ini file on the root of D:.
LOGOutput = ReadIni("D:MyProgram.ini", "Settings", "LOGOutput")
I'm assuming there is going to be a simple line which says
My.application.location.programname & ".ini") But I can't find it.So question is, How do I read and refer to my ini file which is located with my exe?
EDIT:It's just dawned on me, I am also going to have to get the installer to know about it and install it there??
i am using an unbound datagridview so i can dynamiclly add rows. all that is working fine. but the grid is not is the location i have coded.. i am using the defualt form as a base then coding the unbound stuff in.. should i just create a blank class file and do everything? the only problem i am having is the grid must bees in the correct location according to the pixel point that i have given it. Right now it is placing the grid at point (0,0) no matter what point is entered on the line for location. so what am i missing??????

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

View 1 RepliesI am currently developing a Windows Service in VB 2010. The service depends on two binary files and one text data file that contain connection information for the app. At this time I have an installer setup with the service so that when I build the service and then the installer I get a setup.exe and MSI file.
I added the three additional files to the installer project and notice that they get placed in the application folder, that is, in the same folder as the application, when the setup app is run. For the two binary file this is ok and actually required, but
I would like the data file to go into the docs and settings, <user name>, Applications Data, <AppName> folder, NOT the Application folder as it defaults to. The Folder property in the properties dialog box for the data file allows me to select Application Folder, User Desktop or User Program Menu as the location of the file on the target machine, but none that will let me select where I want the file to go.
Is there any way to tell the installer where I want the data file to go? Since the installer itself is a project with code, perhaps I can add code to manually create the data folder for the application and then copy the data file from the application folder
to the data folder, but I am not sure of this.

If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?
